  1. Simply put: style over substance. on When Videogames Publishers Go 'Street' · · Score: 1

    Games that are well written will always sell and most of the times, sell well. Blizzard doesn't need to have Jay Z or what not "puttin' a cap in dem mofos" along side you and offering hip urban commentary as you play Diablo to sell more than a million copies.

    Midway seems to have chosen to rely on cheap marketing schemes to sell their products instead of producing quality. In essence, although its redundant at this point, selling out.

    "Real gamers" are not fading out of the picture. Hell, I'm eighteen myself. The whole idea of professional gaming, while still fledgling in North America, is taking off. While not always the most mature crowd, look at Counterstrike players. Serious gaming (unlike BSD, kidding) is not dying.

  2. Re:You serious? All Under 18 laws? on Violent Video Game Law Struck Down · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Any sort of age laws are completely arbitrary. On voting laws, it'd better to whip up a simple test that would require you to demonstrate literacy, knowledge of country's political system and some critical thinking. If you can pass, then you can vote.

    how long does it take to compile "Hello World"?

  4. Error in headline ... on Cassini Shatters Titan Theories · · Score: 3, Funny

    Should read: "Cassini Shatters Titan; Theories."

    Strawmen.

  6. Re:Serious? on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Hearsay.
    ... and whether you and your "buddies" thought it was effective or not is inconsequential.

  7. Re:Michael Moore proven wrong yet again on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 1

    lol nub. The previous got modded flamebait for a reason. RTFA, at the end it isn't even nitpicking points in the movie, it's just rhetoric. Drivel.

  8. Re:Interesting. on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 5, Interesting

    The title is "Fifty-six deceits in Fahrenheit 9/11" but I think a more suiting one would be "fifty-six insignifciant instances of nitpicking."

  9. Makes sense. on Moore Approves Fahrenheit 9/11 Downloads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The whole point of the movie is get a message out, why wouldn't he want it to reach the greatest possible audience?

  10. Re:Constitutionally the most power? on Linux Journal On Linux's Adoption In U.S. Courts · · Score: 1

    Damn you, HTML Formating.

    We can't have a "democracy" in the true sense of the word. The US is just too big. Democracy is very inefficient.
    It's called the Internet.
    Yes, though, "elected republics" are pretty well-designed for today.
    A system based on the flaws of its people will only promote such qualities in its leaders.
