  1. Re:Difficult? on 'They Can Sue, But They Can't Hide' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Speaking about Seinfeld and doctors, I'll take a vet over an MD any day. I already go to the vet to get checked up. I find it's cheaper, the queue is shorter, and I get my coat brushed to a glossy shine after every visit.

  2. Re:Why is it always idsoft and Unreal? on Unreal Tournament 2004 Goes Gold · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You forget the influence of the Mac and Linux crowd on this site.

  3. Re:I should have been a lawyer... on Infinium Labs Threatens HardOCP Again · · Score: 2, Funny

    I totally agree with you. But I think I can see a different side to that legal point.

    That phrase can be read as:

    3. You allege that Timothy Roberts has helmed several businesses that have (subsequently)failed or gone bankrupt in the last six years. The innuendo is that the businesses failed or went bankrupt while Timothy Roberts was head of the businesses.

    I'm sure the lawyers will be trying to argue that Timothy Roberts helmed several businesses, but he wasn't at the head of all of them when they went under.

    I haven't done my research to check whether this is true or not. In the case it is not true, and it was a case of stupid lawyers rephrasing the same sentence, let me just say: PPPPFFFFFTTHHHHTTTTT!

  4. Re:They didn't win in one category they were in on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No actors from ROTK were nominated anyway. So, what's your point?

  5. ROTK was robbed!! on Lord Of The Rings - Oscars, We Loves Them · · Score: 0, Troll

    ROTK was nominated for, and won, 11 Oscars. This allowed the film to tie with Ben Hur and Titanic for the most Oscars.

    However, they should have been nominated for Best Foreign Film a well. I mean, if a Canadian film can win Best Foreign Film this year, surely ROTK could have been nominated for it as well (and, ultimately, win it).

    ROTK should have broken the record. Robbed! Robbed, I tell ya!

    Nasty voting panelses.

    Tried Final Fantasy XI?

  7. Well, it's better than some other names. on Microsoft Plans WinXP "Reloaded" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, it's better than Windows XP: A New Hope.

    Or, as someone else said, Windows XP: Return of the King.

    Maybe a better name would be Windows XP: The Phantom Menace.

    Or Windows XP 2: 2 Farked 2 Frivolous.

    Pick me up a couple of stereos and tvs, will ya? I'll be busy at the car dealership down the road.

  10. Re:Once again, NOT ON OUR SHORES.... on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 1

    Nowhere did I say that England didn't have a civil war. I'm quite aware of Cromwell et al. I was merely stating countries that are a safer place to live than the USA. For example, I also state Spain in that list, and they had a very bloody civil war only last century in which around 300,000 people died.

    My history book collection is fine, thank you. Try reading my post properly sometime.

  11. Re:Once again, NOT ON OUR SHORES.... on US Military Builds MMO Earth Simulator · · Score: 1

    "we haven't had a major conflict here since the civil war.... Thats a major feat if you think about it, is there a safer place to live???"

    Yes. Try any of the following countries:

    * England
    * Scotland
    * Canada
    * Australia
    * New Zealand
    * Wales
    * Spain
    * Portugal
    * Switzerland

    Etc, etc. I could go on. There are plenty of countries that haven't had a civil war at all. There are plenty of countries that have had war at some point, but are currently a safer place to live due to their relationships with, and attitudes to, other countries (Norway, Finland, Austria etc).

    Wake up. The USA isn't the be all and end all.

  12. Oooh Boy! on Videogame Helps Flood Defense Planning · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't wait for the expansion, "Holland Hijinks". I hear you get to use the new units such as "young child sticking finger in dyke hole" to stop floods.

    I love it because the name of that unit makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl.

  16. Re:Jobs going overboard? on Steve Jobs' Grand Vision · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The quote is: "the most powerful and trusted brand in animation."

    The keyword there is "animation". As far as I know, Disneyland is built from steel, not cell shading or computers. The Disney Channel only exists to re-run old Disney movies, and none of the recent Disney-only features have had much impact.

    As far as animation goes, Pixar currently has a commanding lead over Disney. Check recent box office revenue and direct movie merchandise sales for evidence. If the quote was "the most powerful and trusted brand in franchised-animation-related-stuff-and-straight-to -video-feature-cartoons" then yes, Disney would be correct. The Disney of old is dead. Short live the Disney of new.

  17. Re:ugh on The Bard's Tale - The RPG Curb Your Enthusiasm? · · Score: 5, Funny

    But...but...but...no one has ever put those 3 games together before.

    As far as the investors are concerned, it is new.

    On the topic about the main character "having seen it and done it all", it reminds me of the Terry Pratchett character Cohen the Barbarian. No one can possibly be worse for wear from adventures than that old coot.

  18. Re:Trollin' for love on Unreal Tournament 2004 Demo Released · · Score: 1

    It does not hold up against Halo, let alone any of the next-gen titles like HL2.

    And when did you play HL2?

    Pass the salt, please.

    There's no need for all those coulds, woulds, cans etc etc. It's just fluff.

  24. Facets. on Raph Koster On Sony Online's MMO Plans, Hopes · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Game design is only one facet of online world design, frankly.

    True. I'll be the first admit that (having obtained a psychology degree at university). However, game design still remains the most important facet. And frankly, you didn't get that right with Star Wars Galaxies. Jedi system, anyone?
