  1. Re:DDR is not easy on Weight Loss through Dance Dance Revolution? · · Score: 1

    Maybe you aren't playing DDR right...Once you get up to standards songs it's probably more work than running because you are also jumping and what not. Plus you can put wrist or ankle weights on for extra work out.

  2. Re:Nintendo had this 20 years ago on Weight Loss through Dance Dance Revolution? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah but the only game it was really cool for was track and field and to actually do good at the game you had to pound on the thing with your hands. In fact me and my sister usta both beat on the thing at the same time. I don't think professional runners ran fast enough to be good at that.

    They could make a lot of money selling a game that teaches adolecents the fine art of french kissing.

  4. Whining is good... on On Gamers Whining About Cheese · · Score: 1
    How else are you supposed to let the world know that somebody is being a major biyotch.

    A better approach, however, may be to use your fist instead of your words to let them know they suck. Many people might do it because they want to here you whining and whatnot, but it might not be worth it if it gets physical.

    Then again you could just refuse to play with cheesetards.

  5. Re:Discrepancy between blurb and article on When $1B in Online-Game Sales Isn't · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Well actually if you look at the X-Box many games are "online-enabled", but can't be played online. They just let you keep track of a score or have a buddy list or some crap like that. So in other words there are in fact games that are online-enabled and can't be played online.

    Regardless of how geeky it is, I don't see why a dvd extra should EVER be "news"!

  7. Re:Eastern focus on MGS Creators on 'Masochistic' PS2, U.S. Popularity · · Score: 1, Flamebait
    Another big thing that keeps Japanese games from coming here...besides licensing($$$), is that they make some really weird crap. The population of people who will buy stuff here just because it is popular in Japan is much different compared to the reverse. Fanboys (like me) will buy stuff that is cool in Japan, where "normal" Japanese people will buy stuff that is cool in America.

    For some reason I feel like I didn't make much sense...oh well.

  9. Re:Life on Why Do Other Geeks Leave the House? · · Score: 1

    You are just another retard trying to force your opinion on other people. That was my whole point, you might need something out there to fulfill you life, I don't. I do what makes me happy, all these things are indoor activities. Sex is cool and all, but I'm not gonna go hunt for it, it's not that important. I have friends, and I do go places, but the movie theater or a club or whatever is still indoors. Anyways, I'm the happiest person I know, why go hunting for happiness elsewhere when I've got all I need. Too many people are out SEARCHING for a life rather than living it. I do what I wanna do.

  10. Re:Life on Why Do Other Geeks Leave the House? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    (rant) Okay I don't want to comment on this, but I HAVE to. For starters (Score:5,Insightful) for a one line opinion (that doesn't even answer the question) is silly. That however, is not my main issue. Instead I must argue that life is EVERYWHERE. I am constantly busy and extremely happy and I almost never leave my room when I don't have to. The only thing "out there" is people, most of whom suck, oh yeah and the sun (the bain of my existence). Anyways, point being the outdoors isn't for everybody and I wish people would stop trying to insinuate that people who don't like the outdoors are somehow messed up. (/rant)

    lets game publishers install billing software to keep track of transactions in their online worlds

    Sounds to me like they are upset that everybody else is making all the money from selling in game items.

    make it easier for the publishers to charge players to gain access to new content or new areas to explore...allow users to unlock new weapons or powers by paying for them within the context of the game

    NamedMob has dropped ph4t l3wt, buy for $1.00? Thats what it sounds like to me...AKA highway robbery!

    hard-core fans could develop their own content, insert it into the game and make money from other fans

    It's called Second Life (tm) or something like that. Who wants people to be able to create and use rocket launchers in EQ or something?

    Disclaimer: I am dumb.

  12. Games... on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 1
    Why isn't this in the games section? We all know that the only thing the army does these days is make videogames.

    Seriously if they spent less time making/playing games and more time killing people and breaking shit all our soldiers would be home by now.

    In reality that stuff has been up there for years and they are just now willing to admit it. It's a conspiracy I tells ya.

  16. Re:Why? on Brits Still Working on Stinky Email · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This could actually be kind of cool for games. Of course we all know everybody will just start getting spam selling spam that smell like...spam. The only thing this will get used for is to try and get people to buy food online (no thanks) and to send people fart-mail. Like you said deffinately not worth $300 for food related spam and fart jokes.

  17. Article In Question... on Infinium Labs Threatens Gaming News Site · · Score: 3, Informative
    I believe This is the article in question.

    Anyways, anybody who is trying to sell stuff to the geek community needs to realize that most geeks just get pissed off by these companies bitching about stuff like this. Making threats(bullying) and trying to censor people(notice the .sig) annoys me.

    I think you missed the point of the quote which I present to you in it's entirety:

    "Nonononono. Truce, you guys. Listen, we got a higher purpose here, alright? A wake up call for the Nintendo Generation. We demand free access to data, well, it comes with some responsibility. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child, but when I became a man I put away childish things. What... It's Corinthians I, Chapter 13, verse 11, no duh. Come on."

    I believe the purpose of the was to actually point out that while Cereal Killer is not somebody who is taken seriously ALTHOUGH he is infact intelligent and even insightful. I think it's more of a don't judge a book by it's cover scene and not diminished by referring to us as the "Nintendo Generation".

    Actually he wrote an OZZY quote on the blackboard "of all the things I've lost I miss my mind the most" the quote you are refering to is later in the movie in zero's bedroom.

    It seems like a cool concept to me. Problem is they used not so cool colors. One of the best things would be the options in colored lighting, which is not great with conventional lighting. Shouldn't be terribly expensive either.
