  1. Re:Or are you happy to see me? on How Watchmen Killed 'R'-rated Fantasy Movies · · Score: 1

    Malin Akerman.

  2. Re:Horrible 3D Implementation on Nintendo 3DS To Be Released In February/March · · Score: 1

    Have you tried it?

  3. Re: How does on Obama Wants Allies To Go After WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Most Americans don't watch Fox News.

  4. Bar Arcades on 'Old School' Arcade Still Popular In NYC · · Score: 3, Interesting

    What about Dave & Buster's/Gameworks? Although straight-up arcades are rare, these places are somewhat common.

  5. Relief... on LHC To Idle All Accelerators In 2012 · · Score: 4, Funny

    I guess we won't have to worry about 12-21-2012 after all.

  6. Re:Nolan is better without FX on Behind the Special Effects of Inception · · Score: 1

    Yet those were his two best films and much better than this.

    That's just like... your opinion, man. According to http://www.rottentomatoes.com:
    Memento: 92%
    The Prestige: 75%
    Inception: 86%

    Sometimes a movie can have a good plot and good fx. I for one thought it was very well done in both areas.

  7. Re:What Would This Change? on Pressure Mounts On ICANN To Approve .xxx Domain · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Agreed. But you have technically-ignorant people from both sides of the argument thinking it will do something. It would be nice if both sides were informed that:

    1. It could never be mandatory, and if it was made so it would be unenforceable
    2. If it wasn't mandatory, few if any sites would actually register to avoid being TLD-blocked.

  8. Re:This is stupid. on Pressure Mounts On ICANN To Approve .xxx Domain · · Score: 1

    Why is this ridiculous? Just because they aren't blocking every porn site doesn't mean it isn't a simple way to block a bunch of them at once.

    An analogy: "why have marijuana-sniffing dogs in airports since it can be grown in the US?"

  9. Re:Take some time and think on Juror Explains Guilty Vote In Terry Childs Case · · Score: 1

    If you read the article, it wasn't so much that he didn't hand over his passwords, as it was the fact that he could have easily given someone else access without revealing his passwords.

  10. Re:EA rears its ugly head on Dragon Age: Origins To Get Paid DLC Expansion — On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    If I had mod points I'd mod this up. This answers the bitching in this thread.

  11. Re:I don't buy that on Have Modern Gamers Lost the Patience For Puzzles? · · Score: 1

    I remember games like "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" and "Full Throttle" where if you didn't catch something 2 levels back you couldn't proceed.

    This is just a bad design decision just like the FPS puzzles you mention, only there to increase game-play time.

  12. Re:Final Post on Final Fantasy XIII Is Coming To Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    It will have 18 hours of cutscenes.

  13. Re:Why so slow with expansions? on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    While I agree, I also understand why Blizzard did what they did. They worked on developing free content for their existing expansion instead of devoting 100% of their resources on a new one. If you look at what's been added since the TBC release, a pretty significant amount of content has been added.

  14. Re:Fakkkkkkeeeeeee on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    It's not a Blizzard leak. Blizzard would post this on their site like they did for TBC.

  15. Re:Fakkkkkkeeeeeee on World of Warcraft Expansion Details Leaked · · Score: 1

    It's not a tanking talent though. A 360% buff on armor is much less than the druid's 450% increase, and they wear cloth which is generally 50% less armor than leather. It looks like a solo/pvp talent to me.

  16. Re:Sprint EV-DO might be part of it. on Hands-On With The Kindle · · Score: 1

    Sprint might get a small piece of the pie from every book sale.

  17. Re:$14 beta tier? on Hellgate London Beta Signups Begin · · Score: 2, Interesting

    A majority of people who sign up for betas just want to try the game out before buying it.

  18. Re:It's just a gimmick! on Wii Zapper To Have Zelda Pack-In Title · · Score: 1

    It's definitely not an easy thing to do. There is a lot of balance and atmosphere that can be lost unless painstaking work is done to perfect a random FPS map generator. Most FPS designers lean towards multiplayer to provide a dynamic experience.

  19. Re:Just use hemp. on New Wonder Weed to Fuel Cars? · · Score: 4, Informative

    I'm guessing the sun, water, and soil play a part...

  20. Re:Prepare for cranial explosions! on Jack Thompson Sends Subpoena to Bush · · Score: 5, Funny

    My guess is that it's to prove that if Bush can be completely incompetent and misguided as President, then Thompson has the right to do so as a lawyer.

  21. Re:This is why... on Microsoft Readies Cheaper 360 · · Score: 1

    I'm a fan of Pogo myself. There's also Yahoo games.

  22. Re:Still can't get one on Final Version of Wii Browser Now Available · · Score: 1

    I live in Michigan, but I got mine a week ago from a wal-mart in Wichita. I was lucky, they were carrying out one as I had just turned to leave.

  23. Re:My question is on Final Version of Wii Browser Now Available · · Score: 1

    People without a computer, but... with an internet connection... people stealing their neighbor's wireless?

  24. Re:Displace YouTube? on NBC, News Corp Join to Create YouTube Clone · · Score: 1

    I would definitely watch TV shows on this. The big difference is that on the couch there's not much time to do a lot while commercials are on. If it's on the web, I can alt-tab and read slashdot or fark. Good times.

  25. Re:WoW is seen by some as "EQ Lite" on Why Vanguard Sets a Bad Precedent for MMOGs · · Score: 1

    In the WoW expansion, the level 70 instances are not easy anymore. They have set a new standard for endgame content that does not simply require a large group. Instead there are difficult 5 and 10-man encounters that require an above-average amount of personal skill. Before the expansion you had to have a relatively large guild to be able to experience the content which needed a lot of coordination and skill. Now it's the start of progression right out of the gate at level 70.
