  1. Re:$5 Says... on Mario Might Save Christmas? · · Score: 1

    I think mthe game mechanics are superior to SM64 but overall the game is less fun, not sure why. I'd guess the level design is not up to par or the linear progression forces you to play through the less interesting levels instead of allowing you to do something else like Mario 64. Getting the requirements to get to Bowser felt like a chore and once I got there and beat Bowser I never touched the game again. It was great fun for the first ~30 stars though.

    65$? I think you need to check those prices for Wii games again. Also I doubt that the average length of movies is 2 hours now unless you count the commercials.

    With names like that I'm waiting for OS X Sherman.

    I don't think anyone's trying to look good here, at this point we just want the spammers dead, NOW.

    I wonder if anyone is going to get killed over the rumors spread by this anti e-crime technique?

    We can only hope so.

    Do you REALLY want to bitch about graphics when WoW looks quite a bit worse and yet has 9 mil active accouts?

    He's the pro-PS3 troll, of course he's going to complain about the graphics and other numbers because those numbers are the only thing the PS3 counterparts have over Halo 3.

    The question is if the military would obey an illegal order like that. Commander in chief does not mean he's being obeyed without questioning if he gives orders like that.

    Oh, a slap on the wrist is perfectly fine. As long as you use an axe.

  9. Re:People still use AOL? on AOL Cutting 2000 Additional Jobs · · Score: 1

    I used to have AOL back in the 28.8k days (well, my parents had it, I don't think I was very old at the time). I knew AOL wasn't the internet because in the AOL front-end I'd have to click "Internet" every time I wanted to get anywhere useful instead of whatever crap AOL had available. That annoyed me...

  10. Re:It IS free. on Led Zeppelin Agrees To Digital Distribution · · Score: 1

    AFAIK the contracts artists got for online distribution don't pay them much more than piracy so they were probably not all that concerned.

    Because apparently the only people who are willing to talk to their political representatives about copyright terms are those who wish for longer terms.

    That's most likely because a religious leadership is primarily leadership and secondarily religious.

  15. Re:Rating systems on Halo In Church Points Out ESRB Flaws · · Score: 1

    I would add a "malice" label that describes how malicious the protagonist is. E.g. a soldier fighting against Nazis is fighting for a good cause while a protagonist from GTA is fighting purely for his own profit. Killing because you had to vs. killing for fun, ...

    For games where this is left up to the player there should be a separate label ("mirror: as good or evil as the player"?).

  16. Re:Stupid installer on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 1

    I cleared out that much and now it gets past -112 but gives me a "720MB are required on drive C" error message after eating everything up with the copied msi file.

  17. Re:Stupid installer on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 1

    Nope, that already is on a different partition. Also I looked through TweakUI and moved the "installation folder" (which seems to be a temp folder of some kind, pointed to my swap partition originally) to a larger partition but still no dice.

    The only way I could free up that much is by deleting the OS.

    They removed Assault in 2003, too. It was reintroduced in 2004. So expect a UT3.11 for Workgroups next year that includes Assault.

    I can already predict the next game the guys at Epic will make, it will be a Quake Wars:ET clone using there Unreal Tournament franchise..

    Do you mean UT2004's Onslaught mode or Unreal 2 XMP?

  21. Re:Semi-Old News, and 64bit Info on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 1

    I don't really understand what a "beta demo" is even supposed to be. Beta = testing version to find bugs, demo = trial version to evaluate the program. What is the demo demonstrating if it's a buggy beta? Is that like saying "if this demo isn't as good as you expect that's because it's beta"?

  22. Stupid installer on Unreal Tournament 3 Beta Demo Now Out · · Score: 1

    I can't install it, I'm getting an Error -112: Out of space after that Ageia driver setup. The target partition has ~5Gb free. Apparently it's trying something stupid with the OS partition which only has a few hundred MB left.

    Best solution would be to force the seller to buy you a new bike and give the old one back to the original owner :P.

    The goal of ICANN is not to reward smart businessmen who know when to buy domains, it's to keep the internet somewhat organized and having domain names not lead where any reasonable person would expect them to lead only causes confusion. IOW, give the registrar his cut or he won't care.

    Can hemp be grown as a monoculture? AFAIK corn does not require crop rotation which makes it easy to produce in large quantities. Which of course requires fertilizer and cow shit is pretty popular for that but releases nitrates into the groundwater.
