    Yep. Mel Brooks really innovated with Spaceballs. I mean, it was out on video before they were even done making it.

    Dark Helmet: When will then be now?
    Col Sanders: Soon.

    It's made by the same guys who did X-Com.

    Free Xbox with every Xbox360 purchase. 100% compatibility garaunteed!

  9. Re:Try feeding your damn dog asshole on U.S. Scientists Create Zombie Dogs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My dog (beagle) would do this. I just chalked it up to her trying to mask her scent. Same with eating feces.

    This site, I don't know how authoratative it is, seems to affirm this assumption. http://www.manuelsweb.com/poop_rolling.htm

  10. Real link on EU PSP Release Delayed Until Summer · · Score: 5, Informative

    The link in the summary is wrong. Here's the real link.

    Or maybe Wayne's World.

  12. Re:but where.. on Midway to Create Adult Swim Titles · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's in there too. For some reason it was left out of the summary, but if you follow the link Aqua Teens are mentioned first.

    I can't wait for that game either. I'm sure UT2K4's Redeemer will have nothing on the Quad Laser. I hear it will amaze ya.

    Well, we already know what the Sealab game will be. That's where you hang wind chimes for an hour then you fight. Don't forget the balloon stage.

  14. Windows Starter Edition on Ask Microsoft's Martin Taylor About Linux vs. Windows · · Score: 1

    Will it ever be available in America? Also, does Microsoft plan on offering a Starter Edition for Longhorn when it's released or will XP SE be the last one?

  15. Re:That's Life on Star Flung From Milky Way at High Speed · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's a big ball of garbage from Old New York. I checked it with my smell-o-scope.

  16. Re:Does simply the name define the sequel? on Creativity in Game Sequels · · Score: 1

    MS just released Mechwarrior: Lone Wolf. I'm sure the article is talking about Mercenaries from Pandemic Studios and Lucas Arts. It is an awesome game. Some consider it a copy of GTA, and in a way it is, but I like it a lot more than GTA.

  17. Re:Are we going to boycott Take-Two now? on Take-Two Cements MLB Rights · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The same things are being said now about this deal that were said of the EA deal. That is, the consumer loses on this deal. The anger and outrage isn't there for a few reasons. In no specific order.

    First, Take-Two does not have a history of buying up all of its competitors. That made EA's buy of the NFL license an extesion of its "buy all developers so there's no competition" scheme.

    Second, when the NFL made 300 million from the deal I'm sure every other sports enterprise wanted some so the smaller sports will probably start trying to find a buyer.

    Third, if Take-Two didn't buy it then EA would have. Should they sit back and let EA suck up all the sports games?

    Fourth, Take-Two's deal leaves console maker's to develop there own game. That means Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft can make MLB games. Can they do that for NFL games? Take-Two didn't eliminate all competiton like EA.

    And fifth, I think all the anger was spent when EA bought the NFL license. Deals like this are going to be expected from now on. EA's deal desensitized us. The group outrage is spent so all we can do is sigh.

  18. Re:Nintendo already taking advantage of the loop h on Take-Two Cements MLB Rights · · Score: 1

    Well, it is the last three words of the quote you provided. He's probably responding more to your quote than your point of Nintendo making a baseball game.

    That's the same thing I told the judge this morning.

    This is my one post.

  20. Re:Planes are not travelling at 600 miles an hour on Laser Painting Could Lead to 25-Year Prison Term · · Score: 1

    You evidently don't know dick about laser refraction, aiming, positioning, and angling. There is zero percent chance that even if the damn plane was still in the air that anyone could accurately point and shoot a laser through the air that would refract through the glass properly enough to cause any eyesight issues even if they were only 100' away from the plane.

    There have been incidents of people having their eyesight damaged momentarily due to lasing. Crews get briefed on lasing events everytime they're going into the AOR because it's happened to us before.

  21. Re:Bard's Tale on Look Ahead to the RPGs of 2005 · · Score: 1

    You are partially correct. Brian Fargo did not create Bard's Tale (That's Michael Cranford), and he did work on the original BT (And Wasteland). But he is not just "some dude." Brian Fargo co-founded Interplay and was its CEO until 2002.

  22. Re:Doom: The Movie: The Game on Open Letter to Doom Fans from Script Writer · · Score: 1

    Well, since Doom: The Movie is being made more like Resident Evil. Maybe Doom: The Movie: The Game will be a generic FPS with a Resident Evil control scheme.

  23. Re:Nothing new from Hollywood here... on Open Letter to Doom Fans from Script Writer · · Score: 1

    They actually admit that "I, Robot" the movie had little to do with the movie. Usually, movies will say "based upon," but "I, Robot" is "suggested" by the short story collection of Asimov. What the hell does suggested mean? Is it like an inspiration, but just not as good an idea?

    I'll agree with you on Blade Trinity. I mean come on. A vampire Pomeranian and Triple H gets beaten up by Van Wilder. Whatever.

  24. Re:Lovely. on EA Obtains Exclusive NFL Licensing Rights · · Score: 1

    The only problem is that you can't play last year's game online. Not on the PS2 or the Xbox. So, you're actually paying for updated rosters and for the online feature.

    Yeah, I don't feel any better about spending $50 for that junk either. I'll be keeping my ESPN NFL2K until the next gen systems come out.

  25. Xbox 2 on Universal Emulators Return · · Score: 1

    The article says that this software will allow Xbox 2 to play Xbox one games even though Xbox 2 uses a PPC instead of Intel. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the main problem with backward compatiblity for the Xbox the Nvidia graphics chip? How do they plan on doing their translation of code without violating Nvidia IP? Seems to me like their being too simplistic.
