  1. Re:Welcome to the Present on Windows Longhorn to make Graphics Cards more Important · · Score: 1

    My entire PC was under $499 with a decent video card.

  2. Re:Cane Him!!! on First BitTorrent Arrest in Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    Wrong country...

  3. Re:That's odd... on Resident Evil 4 Released · · Score: 1

    "THAT" is a huge salamander according to the FRA.

  4. Re:Give me a fucking break... on U.S. Army to d00dz - We're Coming for You · · Score: 1

    When this "game" was first announced, there was a lot of press about how they would come after cheaters, and lot's of what ifs.

  5. Re:I thought it was generally known on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1

    I do not have a dvd drive of any sort on my computer. My fiance does not either. Not to mention that cds are cheaper than dvds, and it's to keep file size down.

  6. Re:Not all of them are lows on Top 20 Gaming Lows of 2004 · · Score: 1

    Target checks too. On a side note, checking thier PC games clearance rack is a goldmine sometimes. Decent games for under 10 bucks (granted they aren't just released).

  7. Re:I thought it was generally known on Inside the Shadow Internet · · Score: 1

    It's just "The Rules". Not everyone has a dvd burner.

  8. Re:TROLL ALERT - MOD HIM DOWN! on 2004 Indie Games of the Year · · Score: 1

    I like this game a lot, but the one downside is that since it's flash, it doesn't work with a control pad. At least it didn't when I tried it. Great game though.

  9. Re:From the second article... on Ubisoft CEO Speaks out Against EA Move · · Score: 1

    Oh, and Rayman, Ape Escape, Farcry, Myst, and the flop XIII. Not that the whole Tom Clancy thing isn't a cash cow.

  10. Re:Early warning on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 1

    You should watch some videos of people getting swept away by one of the waves. Does a life preserver protect you from being slammed into a tree with the weight of the rest of the wave pressing on you? Does it deflect broken glass, wood and other assorted debris? I didn't realize that a rubber tube could save you from being crushed and/or broken. Seriously watch a video of the waves crashing in then covering buildings in Sri Lanka up to the second floor. Wearing a life preserve in a tsunami is a bit too little too late.

  11. Re:Straight Line Path on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 1

    It wouldn't be 150 feet high until it got right to shore, and even then it wouldn't be moving at 100mph anymore.

  12. Re:Straight Line Path on The Coming Atlantic Mega-Tsunami · · Score: 1

    Maybe in a 2d game world the wave would go straight. But stuff tends to go in every direction possible in the water. Drop a penny in a tub at the side and look at where the waves go.

  13. Re:Not unpredictable, but probably unavoidable. on Quake and Tsunami Devastate South Asia · · Score: 1

    CNN had near nonstop coverage over the last couple of days.

  14. Re:What does mobilizing foreign police actually me on Following up on Torrent Shutdowns · · Score: 1

    Yes, while we're at it, we should arrest people who plagarize anything.

  15. Re:In Other News on "Dark Alleys" on the Internet · · Score: 1

    Impossible? Telescreens could handle the job tomorrow.

  16. Re:A few more reasons, and a suggestion on Half-Life 2 Causes Nausea, Looks Good in Doom Engine · · Score: 1

    My cheap KDS monitor will not do anything higher than 60hz at any resolution. It seems to bother everyone but me. I play HL2 with no nausea. I changed my fov to 90 though. Now XIII is a vomitron on my pc. 10 minutes of that and I can't function for a few days.

  17. Re:MOD Parent up, and answer on Fedora Core Release 3 Released · · Score: 1

    It was a problem with the 2.6 kernal and the app "Part" I believe.

  18. Re:Time to Upgrade on Fedora Core Release 3 Released · · Score: 1

    I was a big fan of Fedora before this bug bit be quite hard on the ass. I lost a lot of data in the week following it.

  19. Re:I've never understood the obsession with Halo on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1

    The Halo music made me enjoy the game much more than I would have without it. One of the best soundtracks ever.

  20. Re:I've never understood the obsession with Halo on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1

    That level was a hell of a lot longer than 15 minutes sir. In fact I recall killing Flood for at least 20 minutes before that stupid Librarian flew up to me and said "Only 9 doors to go". Cut to me Uninstalling Halo.

  21. Re:Not Credible Sources on Halo 2 Reviews · · Score: 1

    Dual wielding added the disadvantage of not being able to throw toned down grenades in H2. Better find some other way to destroy those newly destructable vehicles.

  22. Re:Indeed on Humor in Games? · · Score: 1

    Actually go back and play nolf2 again. It was far ahead of it's time, and still to this day looks pretty good. Having played it for the first time a few months ago, I was shocked at how nice the game as whole actually looked.

  23. Re:For PSP Fans, backup battery may be necessary on Sony Says PSP Battery Life is Shorter than Quoted · · Score: 1

    There will be a flood of cheaper 3rd party battery packs that will have several times the life before recharging no doubt.

  24. Re:won't even last 1 trip on Sony Says PSP Battery Life is Shorter than Quoted · · Score: 1

    My Neo Geo Pocket only had to have it's batteries changed once in the 4 months I had it. That was with at least an hour's worth of play a day.

  25. Re:No Big Deal for Gamers on Online Gaming Ad Network Launches · · Score: 1

    There is a mod for GTA3 and Vice City out already that replaces the fake ads with real ones. It's called GTA The Real Killer.
