  1. Re:And this will be useful because? on Gamecube Linux Port Announced, In Progress · · Score: 2, Informative

    You need the exact same hardware that has been described a million times already in this thread. As for the software, it's the emulators that Nintendo coded for bonus discs, like the N64 emulator for Ocarina of Time (and maybe the NES emulator from Animal Crossing, I don't know). They were ripped awhile ago, and I saw them floating around Bittorrent sites.

  2. Re:Turok 2 on Big Rigs Makes Play For Worst Game Of All Time · · Score: 1

    I would disagree, Turok 2 was actually pretty fun on multiplayer. I'm not saying it's great, but it was more enjoyable than a lot of games I've rented.

  3. Zombie Nazis! on What Guilty Gaming Pleasures Do You Enjoy? · · Score: 1

    Nothing is more satisfying than blowing up Nazi zombies in any of the Metal Slug games.

  4. Re:Why VLC has "surprising amount" of OS X users on Open Source Awards 2004 · · Score: 1

    Also, VLC on OS X has improved a lot. With version 0.7, it finally has a decent interface on OS X; the previous versions had interfaces slightly better than MPlayerOSX, but not by much. I'd say it's only second to QuickTime Player in interface (sometimes) and speed (on older hardware); it plays so many more formats than QT does.

  5. Re:Only 30fps? So what , thats all TVs do anyway! on Crossplatform Titles Shortchanging PlayStation 2's Performance? · · Score: 1

    Isn't NTSC 60fps and PAL 50fps?

  6. Re:Translation on Ed Fries Leaves Microsoft's Game Unit · · Score: 0, Troll

    Alternate translation: "After noticing that I screwed over not only fans of Bungie, but also fans of Rare, Satan himself offered me a better-paying job."

  7. Re:A highlight on Star Wars Battlefront - Striving For Galactic Conquest? · · Score: 1

    Somehow I get the impression (after reading through the rest of your posts) that you'd start complaining about how you can't play Nintendo games well without buying their controller. In any case, the GC is only $100, a fraction of the price of your computer; so why should Nintendo waste time trying to cater to people who will buy an expensive PC but not a cheap Gamecube?

  8. Re:DRM? on HP Working With Apple To Add WMA Support To iPod · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Here's a quarter, buy a new caps lock key with it.

  9. Re:Telus ADSL in Vancouver on Broadband Pricing Across The World? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Telus is pretty good. Their customer support is abysmal, but they also neglect massive bandwidth use. I, um, have a friend who has Bittorrent open all month long, and he hasn't ever recieved a complaint from Telus.

  10. Re:lot of spinning on Mini-iPod Mystery Drive Unveiled? · · Score: 1

    Kick-ass? I'm nowhere near being an audiophile, and I think they sound like crap...

  11. Re:This is probably a stupid questions but... on Windows CE.NET Ported to Xbox · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't the different processor make running DC binaries... impossible? I could be wrong on that, I don't know exactly what the DC's processor is.

  12. Re:Drove through this morning. on Boston's Big Dig Finally Open · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But in any case, it's a waste of your money and mine - with that kind of money you could get a new nuclear sub, a B2 bomber, AND an aircraft carrier (sans aircraft)!

    And this gets modded up? I don't know about you, but I'd rather pay for a massive improvement to transportation in my area than a few massive vehicles designed for killing.

  13. Re:Standard batteries = better on Washington Post Covers iPod Battery Ruckus · · Score: 1

    I wonder if a more efficient specialty hard drive couldn't be designed for embedded applications.

    So.. what do you think the tiny hard drive in the iPod is?

  14. Re:The rise of sci-fi movies on Narnia to be Created in New Zealand · · Score: 1

    Hold on. Surely you must have meant "movies" instead of "movie".

  15. Re:Unbelievable ending on Fight Club Game Perplexes, Amuses · · Score: 1

    In the book, the real target was a museum, not the credit card companies.

  16. Re:Pirates of the Caribbean on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 1

    The animation? As far as I know, Pirates was only a ride before it was turned into a feature.. anyways, by predictable and standard, I mean that it was simply a Disney adventure movie at heart. I can think of a lot of beloved movies that aren't by any means thought provoking (Star Wars, Indiana Jones, etc) but are immensely entertaining anyways, and Pirates was one of them for me.

  17. Pirates of the Caribbean on The Best and Worst Movies of 2003? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes, it was totally predictable, and standard.. but even so, it was awesome. If this is an indication of what Disney might make more of in the future, than I'm glad.

  18. Chuck's View on Fight Club Game Perplexes, Amuses · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "No, I'm serious," Chuck deadpans. They [20th Century Fox] just sold the rights to the Fight Club video game."

    "Are you serious?"

    "Yeah, I'm serious. And ask me if I care."

    "It's all assimilated. Everything," Chuck quietly jabs. "Those things demonstrate nihilism. It demonstrates that everything becomes a commodity, that everything is trivialized and destroyed."

    "But that's so raw," I say, confused.

    Almost playfully, Chuck smiles and says, "No, it's not, because it makes room for more stuff, more cutting-edge visions."

  19. Re:More important.. on Blockbuster Chief: End DVD Region Codes · · Score: 1

    Yeah, my cheapo AD-1500 doesn't do it.

  20. Re:Why still no DVD? on NWN - Hordes of the Underdark in Stores · · Score: 1

    What type of media a game is recorded on is a product of the publisher. Black Isle had a history of making DVD versions of bioware games, however they had a fallout.

    Was that intentional?

  21. Multiplayer? on First Nintendo IQue Reviews · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Okay, okay.. I only skimmed the linked article, but I'm wondering how the iQue supports multiplayer games. I didn't see any mention of controller ports on the controller (well, the system) in the article.

  22. Re:For the love of Mew... on Pokemon GBA Bugs Out, Internal Clock To Blame · · Score: 1

    Christ. If your little cousins are going to be devastated because of the loss of berries in a Pokemon game, they have bigger problems than that. Even if they are devastated, they'll probably just be able to send their carts in. Get over it.

  23. Re:Corporate Sabotage? on HP to Launch Music Service, Player In 2004 · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure... all the places I've been to that sell them in Canada usually have a unit on display. I suppose it all depends on whether the store has a lock-down display for an iPod.

  24. Re:BSODs on Public BSOD Sightings? · · Score: 1

    Am I the only one thinking that the Xbox might have been turned off?

  25. Re:Anyone think theres a future... on Handheld Game Competition Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    Apparently the NetYaroze was quite crippled compared to the professional PS1 development tools..
