  1. Re:Next GTA game? on The Worth of the GTA Franchise · · Score: 1

    I don't know about it being in just London? London is about the same size as LA and SA had LA, SF and Vagas in it.

  2. Liebeck vs Patterson on Apple Sued Over Potential Hearing Loss · · Score: 1

    Stella Liebeck vs John Kiel Patterson can't be to far away.

  3. Re:A Test to Verify the Numbers on Keyboards Are Disgusting · · Score: 1

    I thought it was used napkins? I need to watch my Zim again.

  4. Re:At the risk of repeating myself on WoW Expansion At BlizzCon · · Score: 1

    It's been about $Current_Date - $WoW_Launch_Date and paying customers on official forums haven't gotten answers.

    I wouldn't hold my breath

    But did you hear! An Expansion will shown... does this mean they will show a in-depth look or release information about it... probably not but I'm certain they will enjoy their 40$ * $Current_WoW_Population influx when people buy it like mad.

  5. Re:WOW takes too long at higher levels to do anyth on World of Warcraft Continues To Grow · · Score: 1

    Don't go to movies often do you? With all the advertisements and heck if you count travel time you can put in more then that.

    Don't get me wrong I agree with you that MC BWL and such take way to long and way to many people to provide and benefit.

  6. Re:Q&A with the Devs? on World of Warcraft Continues To Grow · · Score: 2, Funny

    Same place as all the other questions ever asked to the devs... at the bottom of the maelstrom.

  7. Re:BlizzCon on World of Warcraft Card Game Coming Soon · · Score: 5, Informative
    At least try to read...

    Another souvenir item you'll find in your special BlizzCon goody bag is a full deck of BlizzCon playing cards, encased in a uniquely decorated box and decked out with Blizzard artwork from the Warcraft, Diablo, and StarCraft series.


    That means regular cards... you know so you can play solitaire while waiting for a 40 man raid to organize it self. Or like myself while you keep conjuring water and watching everyone else kill stuff during the raid.
  8. Coming from someone with a DS on What's Up With The PSP? · · Score: -1, Troll

    Welcome to the club.

    Heck at least the games coming out for the PSP might have some interesting ones... DS is a good as dead to me.

  9. Re:Arrogance that could power a city. on Rockstar's Next Game Draws Protesters · · Score: 0

    Damn straight if I only had mod points.

    Telling a company they can't produce XYZ because it may effect children's minds is completely different then letting parents know that these games shouldn't make it into the hands of kids.

    An ounce of knowledge in this case is worth more then you could ever imagine.

  10. Re:Personal Responsibility is Dead... on Rockstar's Next Game Draws Protesters · · Score: 4, Insightful

    That's when parents will tell you that you (and everyone else) have no right to tell them how to raise their children.

    In my book parents shouldn't be allowed to harm their child via negligence.

    This includes letting them play a game, watching TV, etc... without understand that the actions in them is not always meant to be repeated.

    Meaning if you see someone going into space it doesn't mean you will never be able to. If you work hard you may be able to. But it does mean that if in game XYZ you can hit people with a hammer and they make funny noises it's not real and you shouldn't do it.

    That's my 2 cents

  11. wow on Rockstar's Next Game Draws Protesters · · Score: 1

    Wow... now I know what to be thankful of next thanksgiving... thank god I'm not Rockstar

  12. Re:Examples on Maniac Mansion Creator Supports Indie Ports · · Score: 1

    your thinking of full throttle

  13. Re:Audit requirements are a bitch on Towards a Comprehensive USB Flash Drive Policy? · · Score: 1

    Thank god I'm Canadian... but realistically it should be put forth that the law be amended to state when password can be changed without requiring such a massive downtime/human labour. In other words excluding the BIOS but not excluding things like windows passwords as those can be simply set to expire and have criteria for the new password.

  14. Re:Audit requirements are a bitch on Towards a Comprehensive USB Flash Drive Policy? · · Score: 1
    This doesn't mean we don't have problems from enthusiuastic users that know how to change BIOS settings, but for the most part, problems were avoided.
    Why not lock the bios?
  15. In the Government on Towards a Comprehensive USB Flash Drive Policy? · · Score: 1

    Well at least my department anything that could be used as a mass storage device is forbidden. It would have been much easier for them to disable the USB ports as out keyboards and mice still all have PS/2 connectors or USB to PS/2 converters.

  16. Re:Aeris on Square Enix Event Revelations · · Score: 1

    I think more people would want to know will we see a "Hot Coffee" mod :)

  17. Re:So much safer. on VoIP Security · · Score: 1

    Hey smart ass, I just tried it for shits and giggles and guess what? haging up my land line closed the call... even tried it land line to land line and you're still wrong. So unless your using some ancient phone lines that have some major problems you seem to be the one with the problem

  18. someone should... on House Calls for Investigation Into Rockstar Games · · Score: 1

    Someone should remind them that it's their future constituents their pissing off... game made for those above 17... I'm not a US citizen, thank god, but what's that 3-4 years before they vote? O wait most US citizens don't have a memory that long let alone their kids. Move along.

  19. Question about FFXI for Xbox360 on Xbox 360 Launch Titles and Information · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I wounder if they play on new on the same servers as PS2 and PC? and if they are will "new" servers be added to compensate? I dont know much about FFXI, althought I am planning on getting it, but are new servers ever added? So new players can start on a world that doesnt already have players at the top level.

  20. Mine would have to be... on What Are Your Favorite Computing Memories? · · Score: 1

    ...playing Red Storm Rising on my 286, shoot a torpedo and flix the turbo so I don't have to wait 2 hours for it to find the enemy sub. That was the last good sub game I played.

  21. Re:TFA misses the point on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    Education won't help, if the article stated that a Modification to the original game is what caused this people wouldn't be angry at Rockstar since someone modified their game...

    It's like me taking an episode of the Simpson and replacing every frame of Marge with a porn actress wearing no clothing.

    Would Hilary and co be angry at Fox for making the Simpson's.

    I know the modder says the content was already in but no one, to my knowledge, has proved/disproved this.

  22. Re:Good Idea, Bad Idea on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    And the government of the USA would never want to get in the way of an actual investigation.

  23. Re:Thibnk of the children on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    When would the clerk say this to the parent? After they ask them if they want to use their super save bonus card or if they want to sign up for a special discount card. The public doesn't care. Congress cares because the media is making a big story about it and if they get there names in the article it will raise there re-election chances.

  24. TFA misses the point on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1

    Yes but TFA misses the point in that "the mod is easily available online" doesn't mean kids will get to see it... they need the F'ing game first...
    Now of course parents who have no clue what a "mod" is will be thinking Rockstar has somehow made porn available on the Internet, what's that those same parents don't bother checking where on the Internet their kids... O dear don't tell them it's full of free porn or else they might want the Internet company investigated.

  25. Thibnk of the children on Clinton To Take On Rockstar · · Score: 1
    keep inappropriate video game content out of the hands of young people."
    Ok then make a law any parent that purchases games for their kids is legally responsible to ensure that the child playing meets the ratting. We all know that making the retailer responsible is pointless since kids don't buy the games they get mommy and daddy to do it.

    Only problem is that wouldn't get her votes so it isn't going to happen.
