  1. Handheld Sudoku on Nintendo DS Sales Driving Games Industry Growth · · Score: 0

    Try Sudoku Gridmaster. It is much easier to do on the handheld than the version in Brain Age. Skip Sudoku Mania. It is a scab on a pimple on the butt of Sudoku.

    Lol, meant to post as AC. Oh well, goodbye, Karma! However, that doesn't change the fact that your sig is homo-erotic.

  4. Re:So the real news here is... on The Pressures on the Next Nintendo Console · · Score: 1
    But I still think that MS is not trying to profit on the 360, at least the system itself. They're trying to build a brand that's successful with gamers and synonymous with fun/good product.
    This is sad but true. The 11-17 year old male demographic all think "Microsoft is cool" primarily because of Xbox. These are the masses of tomorrow.
  5. Re:wasn't quite there for me yet on The State of DS Homebrew (it rocks!) · · Score: 1

    You don't need 10 things hanging off it, or 2. The information in TFA was obsolete. Old DS passkeys were huge, and required a DS cartridge plugged into them. New DS passkeys are the same size as a normal DS cartridge, and they don't even need to flash your DS. I use a Max Media Launcher that I got for like $20. Works perfectly, didn't need to flash my DS Lite. Max Media Launcher

    You need a GBA flash cart. These are available in various flavors. Mine is the SD version of the M3. I chose M3 because it has removable memory, good reviews and compatibility (haven't found anything yet that it won't run), and I chose SD because it is common, cheap, and smaller than CF. There are also CF and mini-SD versions of M3. M3 Adapter Home

    The M3 SD does protrude a tiny bit from my DS Lite. However, there are brand new products (G6 Lite, as well as DS Xtreme) that eliminate any protrusion at all, with the tradeoff that the storage capacity is relatively limited and memory is not removable.

    I should add that I didn't have any problem getting my equipment to work perfectly. IMHO the only problem when getting into NDS homebrew, which hopefully shouldn't be a problem for most people here, is sifting through the blind-leading-the-blind dumbass tutorials such as the one in TFA (which abound due to NDS's capability of playing pirate ROMs) and finding truly helpful info.

  6. Make you drink it on Is Your Laptop At Risk While Traveling? · · Score: 1

    Hmmm... couldn't they just make you drink a sip or two of your bottled drink in front of them to pass it as harmless? Is there such a thing as potable liquid explosives?

  7. A Current Affair... en espanol on Fake News Stories Probed · · Score: 1

    I am non-hispanic white, but with several close personal ties to hispanics of various nationalities, many of which you'd think were smart enough to know the difference...

    It amazes me that these people believe that a show called "Primer Impacto" *IS* the news. Now this show is quite accurately the Spanish-language equivalent of "A Current Affair".

    It is not racist IMHO to say that Spanish people are more given to rumors and gossip. Anyone who is hispanic or who has spent any time around hispanic culture knows this. It is interesting to me, though, to see that first, Spanish people really do think this is the news (!), and second, that most of our country is headed in the same direction.

    Scary!

  8. Philo T. Farnsworth on Scientists Biographies for 5th and 6th Graders? · · Score: 1

    One scientist/inventor whose biography would likely be very interesting to that age group is Philo T. Farnsworth, who invented the television as a farmboy who was roughly the age of those students. A good biography of this fellow would be a great view into the science and big business trends of the day, as he had numerous dealings with other scientists who admired and stole his work, and with RCA who first stole his work, then when they lost litigation ended up buying it from him. I know I'm mangling the story, but hey, that's why books are written, right? He invented a number of things such as the first device that proved nuclear fusion, radar enhancements, keyed ignitions, and so forth.

    I could do like the next lameoid and get links to titles from Amazon, but I'm not a good judge as to which titles are feasible for 5th and 6th graders, but I'm sure your wife is.

    I would have also suggested Nikola Tesla, but he has been mentioned several times already, it appears.

    Actually, you do. It's called American cars that crap out after ~100K miles.

  11. Nunchucks on Sony And Nintendo Have Next-Gen Consoles Too · · Score: 1

    In the Joystiq interview, Miyamoto mentioned something related to the Revolution controller that has to be the coolest idea I have heard in a video game... using that controller as NUNCHUCKS hehhehhhe...

  12. My Girlfriend, Mac User on Apple Releases Multi-Button "Mighty Mouse" · · Score: 1

    My girlfriend is a graphic designer and uses Macs almost exclusively. The first time she used my PC to check her email, her first comment was, "Oooh, I really love your mouse." It's just a plain old Logitech wheel mouse.

    Well, where is Martin Sargent now? Is Unscrewed cancelled? What is he doing? I thought he was cool, and I would be curious to know where I could see him. TIA.

  17. What a shame on Quake IV Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    I find it appalling that they say that Q4 is going back to the roots of Quake by focusing on Q2-style single player missions. Roots of quake? OMFG. The roots of quake are in releasing an innovative engine and environment and in fast-paced fragging. Q1 was the very first real 3d engine and still has the best network play IMO. Q3 was the ultimate in innovation at the time. Single-player missions are a dime a dozen these days, but IMO id did themselves and the Quake franchise a tremendous disservice by not giving this game the same treatment. In my mind, another studio doing Quake represents the death of id.

  20. Hang in there everybody on Doom Forecasted for World of Warcraft · · Score: 4, Funny

    I'm a level 148 Berserk Troll Snotgurgle, and let me tell you, the game doesn't even get started until you get past level 120! Not until you've lost your job, your car, and your family does it really get interesting! Now that, my comrades, is some heavy ass epic shite!

    At about level 120 (or perhaps much, much sooner for some of you), you'll find that your life in Warcraft has snowballed far beyond that of your own. Just make sure you are able to steal enough from your roommates to make the light bill, and pray that your next door neighbor doesn't secure her wireless connection anytime soon!

    You will also notice that other quests emerge in the comfort of your own home... seeing your own penis will become difficult due to your runaway girth... finding a clean dish or garment will be next to impossible... others come to mind, but the experience gained by battling these epic quests will only serve to enhance your WoW skillz.

    In Soviet WoW, trolls own you~!

  22. Frigging in the Rigging by the Sex Pistols on Advanced System Building Guide · · Score: 1

    Ahoy scurvies!

    It was on the good ship Venus
    By Christ, ya shoulda seen us
    The figurehead was a whore in bed
    And the mast, a mammoth p*nis

    The captain of this lugger
    He was a dirty bugger
    He wasn't fit to shovel sh*t
    From one place to another

    Chorus:
    Friggin' in the riggin'
    Friggin' in the riggin'
    Friggin' in the riggin'
    There was f*ck all else to do

    The captains name was Morgan
    By Christ, he was a gorgon
    Ten times a day he'd stop and play
    With his f*ckin' organ

    The first mate's name was Cooper
    By Christ he was a trooper.
    He jerked and jerked until he worked
    Himself into a stupor

    Chorus

    The second mate was Andy
    By Christ, he had a dandy
    Till they crushed his c*ck on a jagged rock
    For c*mming in the brandy

    The cabin boy was Flipper
    He was a f*ckin' nipper
    He stuffed his *ss with broken glass
    And circumcised the skipper

    Chorus

    The Captain's wife was Mabel
    To f*ck she was not able
    So the dirty sh*ts, they nailed her t*ts
    Across the barroom table

    The Captain had a daughter
    Who fell in deep sea water
    And by her squeals we knew the eels
    Had found 'er sexual quarters

    Repeat Chorus to Fade

  25. The flip side on FL Court Rules Against Spouse-Installed Spyware · · Score: 1

    I have a paranoid wife. She admits she is, and she will see me typing this. To keep peace in our marriage, I installed a similar package to this, called Spy Anywhere and allowed her to control it and the password.

    I have nothing to hide, and it keeps her happy. Some of you may think I'm nuts, but if you are in a relationship that depends on a high level of trust, this is a great way to earn it. At least it has been for me.
