  1. Re:Legs? on Everything Old is Old Again · · Score: 1

    Ha! You beat me to that one.

  2. Re:demand on 1 Million Wii Units At Launch · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why does everyone forget the massive R&D for the Wiimote and the production costs for it and the motion sensor bar?

  3. Re:Is it just me... on Lego Star Wars II Sells 1.1 Million · · Score: 1

    Actually, it wasn't as sophmoric as "Sweet creeping zombie Jesus," so I guess you just got a flair for the regrettibly stupid comments.

  4. Re:NASCAR? on Games and Their Athletes · · Score: 1

    Riiiiiight... Happy Thanksgiving to you too, "Anonymous Coward," and the fine, upstanding athletes that play the "sports" you enjoy.

  5. NASCAR? on Games and Their Athletes · · Score: 1

    What about Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon? Jeff had about his worst year ever and Jimmie blew a tire in the last race of the year, going for a championship, and ended up finishing 5th in the standings overall.

  6. Just like Apple on $70 Cordless Notebook Mouse with No Scroll Wheel · · Score: 1

    Apple has made an overpriced mouse without a scroll wheel for years and no one ever complained...

  7. Too bad it's not the DS getting this play on PSP Hacks and the Mainstream · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This press and the hacks are great for the future of handheld gaming, but I wish the Nintendo DS was getting this play, too. Web browsing on the PSP is cool, but how much cooler would the hacks be if you could use the DS's touch screen for keyboard emulation? How are you supposed to IRC with 6 buttons and a joystick?

  8. Mobile gaming vs. handheld gaming on Towards a Methodology of Mobile Game Design · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is a good group. Someone really needs to investigate the difference between portable games (like the PSP launch lineup) and handheld games (like WarioWare). Technology and the market both support all of the above, but what we need are compelling games you can play for 10 minutes or and hour, not console ports.

  9. Re:Okay, maybe Mark Cuban was right on Movie Playback From 1TB Holographic Disc · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Sure it is... now all the theives will be able to buy one single disc on the street that holds all the music, movies and video games that would have taken them weeks to steal with P2P! Yea for big media and kids with no values!

  10. NoNoNoNoNoNoNoNoNo... on Microsoft Lusts Nintendo, To Little Avail · · Score: 1

    Nintendo takes pride in relating its hardware to its first-party software. Making games for others systems doesn't appeal to them for this reason.
    I don't care to ponder the implications of this, because it would be wrong, and can not happen!
    I don't know too much about the Nintendo brass, but from what I've heard, it doesn't seem like they would ever call Mr. Bill and make the offer to sell.
    Would anybody honestly want this to happen?

  11. Pager vs. Cell Phone at a Newspaper on Does Your Company Pay For Broadband? · · Score: 1

    I'm a photographer at a small daily newspaper, and I'm expected to be contactable at all points during my day. Instead of footing my cell phone bill, my company issued me a pager.
    This is 2004, last I checked, and I can only assume that they expect me to return the pages with a pay phone or my personal cell phone. What did I do?
    I returned the pager and I use my own phone to answer their incomming calls. In their minds using my own phone is a choice I've made, and it's not their problem to pick up the tab.
    On a side note, I also use my own laptop for photo editing because their computers are crap. My situation is the case at many small newspapers.
    Please shed a tear for the underpaid journalist.

  12. Re:Helpful Tip? on Dell Offers $100 For Old iPods · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    If you have a dead iPod, maybe you should question the quality of the device, Skipper. Why not keep the Jukebox and -use- it? You're just a CrApple Nazi, aren't you?

  13. Bug / Fix vs. Add-Ons on Tecmo Upgrades Ninja Gaiden Via Xbox Live · · Score: 1


    If online updates for console games become widely accepted it might cause releases to be rush released and patched later, but what about the Thief AI difficulty bugs? Problems can still happen without the parachute of updates.

    I can't beileve there hasn't been more demand for developers to update Xbox games or add content.

  14. Good for games, bad for movies on Hollywood Courting the Gaming Industry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Having quality voice talent in games is a plus.

    Having bad action movies based on games is a minus.
