  1. Re:Details on On Gay Characters In Videogames · · Score: 0

    Ah Dammit, you're right. I remember now. Frick, ah well, the best was the tapeworm ride in Space Quest 6 though.

  2. Re:Same-Sex marriage allowed in The Sims 2 on On Gay Characters In Videogames · · Score: 0

    But only in Massachusetts right?

  3. Trans... on On Gay Characters In Videogames · · Score: 4, Funny

    I for one believe there should be more crossdressing in video games. I still remember I think it was Space Quest 3 where you cross-dressed in the mall.

  4. Re:Quake 4 on QuakeCon 2004 or Bust - Including Quake IV? · · Score: 1

    Aww, I just wanted to be on top of the list. It was the first thing that came to mind.

  5. Quake 4 on QuakeCon 2004 or Bust - Including Quake IV? · · Score: 5, Funny

    So is Quake 4 coming out before or after Duke Nukem Forever?

  6. Re:So.... on Microsoft Announces Vanguard MMORPG · · Score: 1

    I'm all for giant chickens. :D

  7. Bleh on Microsoft Announces Vanguard MMORPG · · Score: 1

    Bah, another gigantic MMORPG to force addicts into upgrading all their PC components. Personally, I'm addicted to Ragnarok Online. Pretty graphics that will run easily on a medium grade computer. Plus the characters are more cutesy :D

  8. Port Ragnarok Online on Expert Opinions On Linux Gaming's Future · · Score: 1

    Hey, if they can port Ragnarok Online to Linux and make it work wonderfully without using a Windows emulator, then I can finally switch my main desktop to Linux.

  9. Re:Americas Army is worthy of mention on Picking The Top Ten FPS Titles Of All-Time · · Score: 1

    Well, free means obviously not top ten. They gotta give top ten to the guys that sell games and buy advertising. :P

  10. Re:Hmmm... on 50 First Deaths - On Designing MMO Respawning · · Score: 1

    I want to be foot soldier #4756. I'd much rather get killed in the first wave of the first battle then go on a stupid hobbit quest.

  11. Re:Hmmm... on 50 First Deaths - On Designing MMO Respawning · · Score: 1

    There's actually alot they could borrow from MUD systems. How about setting up level restrictions on player killing. In the few MUDs that I played you couldn't attack anybody more than 5 levels below you unless they attacked you first. Also when you pk'd, you were flagged with a killer flag and town guards would do their damnest to take care of it :)

  12. Tech support sucks on The Oft Frustrating Job of a Sysadmin · · Score: 1

    One time when I was doing tech support for an ISP. I was walking a user into doing an ipconfig from the command prompt and had to give her directions to where every letter was on the keyboard. And when I asked her to hit the enter key, she asked, "Where's the enter key?" I was like OMFG. It's only two of the largest keys on the board. At least try, to look at the keyboard before giving up!!!

  13. It could stop spam... on Gates on Spam · · Score: 1

    Yeah, charging a penny for email would stop spam in email. How? People would stop using email and switch over to some other format that doesn't cost money. And then the spam would follow to that format.

  14. One less bill to mail out on Cincinnati Gets Broadband Over Power Lines · · Score: 1

    If this were in my area, then I could ditch the cable line altogether like I did with the phone line. Right now, I'm paying almost 50 dollars a month for my 39.95 a month cable internet. I don't watch tv. I don't need cable. I do however need power. It'd be so great to have my internet added on to my utilities.
