  1. Re:Just one problem - IT'S NOT PIRACY! on Software Piracy Will Get Worse · · Score: 1

    Yar, but liberatin' information ain't be nearly as fun as sailin' the seven servers and pillaging the work of millions of poor Comp Sci majors. Arrr.

  2. I just hope... on Super Mario, Civ IV, Katamari Hands-On Impressions · · Score: 3, Funny

    I just hope that I'll stop losing elite ironclads and cavalry to veteran galleys and spearmen.

  3. Re:I fondly remember castlevania for the GB on Castlevania Coming to Xbox · · Score: 1

    The Game Boy had four colors.

  4. Re:So far so good on Nintendo Revolution Details Emerge · · Score: 1

    While the Game Gear may have had superior hardware to the Game Boy, GBC, and to a much lesser extent, the GBA, it had a few major flaws.

    First, it had horrible battery life, and took six or eight AA batteries if I remember correctly.

    Second, it was fucking huge, like a mini Xbox.

    Third, it's software library was rather lacking.

    I'm sure that there were a few other issues, but it's been years since I've played with one.

  5. Re:Fools, small chidren, and ships named Enterpris on Enterprise Finale Airing Tonight · · Score: 1

    Of course it's Picard. Kirk never did anything like this.

  6. Re:In my experience... on Charter School Firm Attacks Online Criticism · · Score: 1

    I dunno about you, but I'd say that your best option is to burn the place down.

    With fire.

  7. Re:So... on Charter School Firm Attacks Online Criticism · · Score: 1

    Are they going to sue slashdot?

    That depends on who you mean by "they". If this lawsuit goes well for CSUSA, I can think of a few companies that might. Surely we've all given Microsoft, SCO, Google, AOL, Apple, NASA, and quite a few other companies far more criticizm and libelous comments to feed on than a bunch of soccer moms ever could.

  8. Shadows of the Empire on The Chewbacca Awards · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I'd say they were spot on with their placement of Shadows of the Empire as the best action game. I loved that game so much. I wish I still had my N64.

  9. Re:It falls down? on Sony's Robot Attends Pre-School · · Score: 1

    It's made by Sony, not Microsoft.

  10. Re:Just imagine... on Bandai and Namco To Merge · · Score: 1

    Well, the Falken in Ace Combat 05 does look quite a bit like the Swordfish...

  11. Re:It makes sense not to launch on the 4th. on NASA Ponders Postponing Launch until July · · Score: 1

    More like a bottle rocket.

  12. Re:Boycott! Boycott! Boycott! on Apple Sued over Tiger, Injunction Sought · · Score: 3, Funny

    Only in Kenya.

  13. Re:elected representative?? on New Bill Would Ban Public NOAA Weather Data · · Score: 1

    It's times like this that I really like the fact that we have the Second Amendment.

  14. Re:Or... on Senator Clinton Slams GTA · · Score: 1

    You, sir, are an excellent parent.

  15. Awesome... on UN Wants To Regulate Internet · · Score: 2, Funny

    I, for one, welcome our new UN Regulatory overlords...

  16. Re:ah c'mon on The Solar Death Ray · · Score: 1

    Except that the Federation first used it on December 24th, 0079, while attacking Solomon. That's a full three years, three hundred and twenty three days before the Solar System II fired on the deorbiting colony on November 12th, 0083, during Operation Stardust.

  17. Re:As a tech-savvy Gamecube owner... on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's called a mod chip. But even then, the "pirate" would need the disks, and they're pretty hard to find, and I doubt they'd be cheap.

  18. Re:10 years to get an extra button on Apple Developing Two-Button Mouse · · Score: 1

    By the time Mac users get mice with wheels, PC users will have those flying mice we were promised in the 50's.

  19. Re:As a tech-savvy Gamecube owner... on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    Yes, well, Halo caters to the crowd that can't tell their IP address from their social security number, so I wouldn't be suprised that they think that Xbox Live is the epitome of online gaming.

  20. Re:As a tech-savvy Gamecube owner... on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    Why would I link to a mediocre FPS that was also released on the PC?

  21. Re:As a tech-savvy Gamecube owner... on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    Because, you know, nobody cares about Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Super Smash Brothers, Starfox, Pikmin, or Animal Crossing.

  22. Re:As a tech-savvy Gamecube owner... on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1
  23. Re:As a tech-savvy Gamecube owner... on Console Players Are Pirates · · Score: 1

    I'd hardly call the disks a unique media. They've been around as a standard format for years. Of you take a look at any CD or DVD drive, you'll notice a lowered area in the tray that matches the disks perfectly. I have no idea why they aren't more common though.

  24. Re:built in monitor or projector on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, projectors aren't small. You'd need something with hardware as compact as a Gamecube's in a case the size of an XBox's. It would also require a way to replace lightbulbs, and I don't think console makers are too keen on giving users access to the internal bits of the system.

  25. Re:If it's that different.. on Nintendo Revolution May Alienate Third Party Developers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Yeah, it's a shame that Duck Hunt flopped.

    BTW, you're forgetting that Nintendo had the floormat controler idea long before DDR was even a thought.
