    A macbook is a PC.

  2. Re:Translation on Wii U Faster Than 360 Or PS3, No Blu-ray Or DVD Support · · Score: 1

    Only because the Dreamcast also let you boot off of CD-Rs. I doubt Nintendo will let you burn a Blu-ray and play it, especially if it isn't capable of reading one.

    Indeed. Sorry, JavaScript games in a browser does not count as 3DS Homebrew, you fucking retards.

    If you hack a calculator to cheat on an exam, you deserve that advantage, IMO.

    Yeah, you can get an adapter to use a real N64 controller on your PC, and there's also the always rare 6-face button USB controllers which work wonderfully. Good luck finding one of those, however.

  6. Re:Worst merger, ever on Square Enix Facing Big Losses For 2010 · · Score: 1

    Kingdom Hearts 1 was released before the merger, and KH2 was released shortly after the merger. Short enough that you could argue the merger had no major impact on its development.

    And sure enough, there's been pretty much nothing about KH3, just a bunch of "side" games.

  7. Re:Will it stay free? on Blizzard Previews Revamped Battle.net · · Score: 1

    Yes, it's free.

    So there's no ongoing benefit to Blizzard keeping the Starcraft 2 servers going after about a year when the sales start to trail off.

    What is it like TWELVE YEARS now and people are still playing Starcraft against one another via LAN? You think there's any chance that Blizzard is going to still be running a Starcraft 2 server in 2022?

    Sometimes, being a fan of a product to the extent that you'd buy it no matter what works against your own best interest.

    The ORIGINAL Diablo is still playable on Battle.net, as is Diablo II, Starcraft, Warcraft, etc. Blizzard isn't one to drop their servers when the game gets old.

    The difference it'd make to you if it was rated AO would be it not being released.

    I hope I'm not the only person who read "Chris Morris" as "Chuck Norris." God, the interwebs has scared me.

  11. Re:$40? on The 360's Towering Pricetag Explored · · Score: 1

    I know most XBox 360 buyers will be interested in the HD
    In the US at least, I doubt that. Most homes still don't have an HD-capable TV and fewer still understand how to get the most out of the television. I think that a lot of causual gamers/parents buying this for their kids will hook it up to a standard def TV.


    In this case, HD is referring to hard drive, not high definition.

    I don't see how the hell this is off topic. The summary asked a simple question (Will DVD join LaserDisc in obscurity?), and I gave a simple answer (No).

    Wrong.

    Mozilla 1.8 is basically just there to test Gecko which will be in Firefox 1.1. New Mozilla's are just testing bitches for Firefox.

    The Inquirer reports:

    "Now he is safely retired, the 77-year old former Nintendo boss Hiroshi Yamaushi is regaling Wired magazine about how he reverted to abuse to silence the mighty Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer.

    Apparently Microsoft was making a bid to buy Nintendo for absolutely huge amounts of money. Vole was confident that Nintendo would take it. The Game Cube wasn't doing particularly well at the time and there was a lot of money involved. Ballmer himself showed up at the negotiations to have a quiet word.

    However Yamaushi didn't like the deal, which he saw as a loss on a level similar to World War Two. He said he ranted a bit about Japanese values and identity but it went no-where. So in the end he said in Japanese "suck my yellow balls Mr Ballmer".

    The translator looked embarrassed and was clearly not translating the phrase exactly, although Ballmer did smile at a sentence that included the word 'yellow' in it.

    Frustrated Yamaushi stood on a chair, put his hands around his mouth and very slowly and in English said: "Hey Ballmer why don't you suck my tiny yellow balls."

    He said Ballmer and team were speechless. They were as scandalised as if he had shown them a nipple at the Superbowl, he said."
