  1. Re:But you libertarian coders are too smart on EA Games: The Human Story · · Score: 0, Troll

    Wish I had mod points, you'd get them. Libertarians should go to their Utopia, a place without governmental interference and where the free market rules: sub-saharan Africa or mob-controlled Russia!

  2. Re:Online Play Prior To Official Release Date? on Halo 2 Retail Date Broken in Midwest · · Score: 1

    Um, the game does have a single-player component (much like the first Halo).

  3. Re:With Nintendo... on DS Pre-Orders Stopped as Sales Soar · · Score: 1
    Though I wouldn't put it past Nintendo, creating artificial shortage to drive up prices is illegal, so it's likely not that.

    But then again, knowing Nintendo's history...

  4. I call hoax on Grand Theftendo Homebrew port of GTA III to NES · · Score: -1, Troll
    This thing has fishy written all over it.

    All of the original missions from the PS2 version of GTA III will be included as well.

    So, in the missions where you have to aim and shoot at people in three dimensions, how will that work? There are so many missions that require three dimensions that this makes no sense at all. The whole thing looks like one elaborate prank. For the record I'm saying: no way in hell are they porting GTA to the Nintendo Entertainment System.

    I just read about Metal Gear Ac!d being changed into a card game in PSM. What the f are they smoking?

    American gamers are going to be seriously pissed.

    The walkman is a monster to reckon with...and the media is cheap!

  7. Re:4 - 6 hours still seems way too optimistic on PSP Pricing, Battery Life Announced · · Score: 2
    What are developers going to do ? Randomly decrease the screen brightness or turn off the screen for a couple seconds at a time ?

    I hear the Doom3 port will be able to run for 12 hours on this thing... : p

    See, now that's a good joke. Mod him insightful and not funny, we all know it was funny. He deserves points for a good joke (rarely seen on slashdot), though.

    I'm sorry, but you have to recognize that drudge, worldnetdaily, foxnews and washington times are all right wing hack jobs. That's fine if you accept that from the get-go, but I would imagine if I posted news from moveon.org and michaelmoore.com as proof of some left-wing rant, you wouldn't believe it.

    The John Kerry blog response is just from some poster JT2254, not anyone associated with the Kerry campaign. I couldn't see anything in the Boston Globe piece posted by someone else.

    Washington Post is the respected paper. The Times is run by moonies.

    The Washington Times? You have anything about this "booing" from a respected/non-insane paper?

    You took it back? How? Did you say "I bought this game on the belief in features not advertised on the box. Those features were not present, so I'd like a refund."

  13. Re:Apparently, Nintendo no longer does this. on A Survey of Nintendo's Game Censorship Policies · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Actually, most people have nothing against prayer in schools. You want to pray, go ahead.

    People have a problem with ORGANIZED prayer, which, if a teacher was leading it, might make those who aren't religious or of a different religion, uncomfortable.

    Anytime you think about organized prayer in schools, pretend the organized prayer is to Allah. Still comfortable with it? Or is it only comfortable when it's Christianity.

    This is not directed at the parent but at "prayer in school" people in general.

    Agreed. The rock at least has some personality. Vin Diesel plays the same Mr. Gravely Voice in every movie.

    And it's not just games... the AvP movie has been anticipated for years but in the end, it was just crap. Daikatana, Doom3, Black & White, Half-life 2, were all over-hyped and, for how long development took, under-done.

    Where did you get your copy? I've been told that it's not yet released.

    Second debate:

    FARLEY: Mr. President, since we continue to police the world, how do you intend to maintain our military presence without reinstituting a draft?

    BUSH: Yes, that's a great question. Thanks.

    I hear there's rumors on the Internets (sic) that we're going to have a draft. We're not going to have a draft, period. The all- volunteer army works. It works particularly when we pay our troops well. It works when we make sure they've got housing, like we have done in the last military budgets.

    Thanks to debates.org (not factcheck.com) you can see what Bush actually said... and it's a mouthful! (Note: when reading the transcript imagine spittle and/or scowling).

    I take it from your response that you:

    a) Are not a "youth"
    b) Do not know MTV, et al's budget and
    c) Are under the misguided impression that church can save a horny teenager.
