  1. Re:Let the terrorists identify themselves on New Australian Laws To Censor Terror DVDs · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "on the right track" for a legally purchased DVD?

    Curiousity leads many people to many things, including terrorist videos. How does it make me a terrorist if I want to watch Die Hard as an example of how to take over a building with a small special ops team?

  2. Re:Why not ask Nintendo? on Was Videogaming Better Back in the Day? · · Score: 1

    I already have a SNES and a NES, I do not already have wii games.

    One I buy, one I can emulate or just boot up my old stuff.

    Not fair to compare

  3. Re:Less shared culture on Was Videogaming Better Back in the Day? · · Score: 1

    I play both quite happily, because I understand games are about fun (be it monster collecting or leaping off buildings on a bike while shooting people). Why would I turn my nose up at a good fun game with a lot of entertainment value?

  4. Re:No, it wasn't on Was Videogaming Better Back in the Day? · · Score: 1

    turn-based strategy game

    Super robot taisen Original generation 1 and 2 on the GBA will do you just fine.

    The problem is they don't get translated from Japan, where they are quire popular and are often released.

  5. Re:Oldies on Fun and Profit With Obsolete Computers · · Score: 0

    If they did that shirt in blue or tan I would so buy one :)

  6. post it on Donkey Kong Recreated Using 6,400 Post-it Notes · · Score: 1

    I wonder how feasable it would be to do this on walls in bedrooms and such. Maybe a simple Mario or mushroom could at least be done.

    I just hope they branch out a bit more from Mario, stuff like Zelda and Metroid need love too

  7. Why MM? on A Bit About Making Maniac Mansion · · Score: 1, Interesting

    What is it about Maniac mansion that so many people remember stuff from? We never hear this kind of thing about Broken Sword or Monkey island, so why does this one game seem to have talkative developers?

  8. Wiis in the UK on Final Version of Wii Browser Now Available · · Score: 1

    Gamestation's website (google it, not link whoring) has a "news letter" type sign up for the wii. They will tell you 48 hours in advance of when they put the Wii on their website to order. This is how I got mine the first time I was told they had some in stock.

    It's not hard, just requires a little planning.

  9. Great on AMD's New DRM · · Score: 1

    So where do we go for our chips now?

    I was looking at getting AMD since Intel are doing this shit, but now AMD joined the band wagon how exactly are we ment to get DRM free hardware these days?

  10. Re:I love TFC on Team Fortress 2 Has PC/360 Cross Platform Play · · Score: 1

    I know they are in both Dusts and have been for a while in classic CS.

  11. I love TFC on Team Fortress 2 Has PC/360 Cross Platform Play · · Score: 1

    I love TFC, played it for years, but Valve lost a customer the day they added adverts to Counter strike. They were done extremely poorly and they did not belong in the game to begin with.

    Hence good luck Valve, but you pissed on your chips with this guy.

  12. I got mine today on Wii Shortages Could Last For Months · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Mine arrived today and I can see why it's so popular, my only "problem" is it's difficult to see how "normal" games will work on a wii unless they use the gamecube pads.

  13. Re:Bah. on Dumping ISP May Cost Customers $150 · · Score: 3, Informative

    Great idea until they laugh at you.

    What are ypu going to do when everyone you just dicked around are the only options?

    "John Smith of 321 road? Nah, he's a trouble maker" x a couple of times = you screwed.

  14. Maintenance? on Combined Hovercraft and Helicopter · · Score: 1

    But how complex are these machines to maintain? War equipment needs to be bery quick to fix and and this sounds extremely complex.

  15. Re:ATTN: Windows/Linux refugees! on O'Reilly Opens Online Tech School · · Score: 1

    Welcome to Slashdot : We don't have a fucking clue either. :D

  16. Re:ATTN: Windows/Linux refugees! on O'Reilly Opens Online Tech School · · Score: 2

    WTF. How is this related to my post?

  17. Re:Open Source coding? on O'Reilly Opens Online Tech School · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Personally I think this could be the most interesting course if done correctly. Rather than "Here's how you code, do this, do that" it could be a mix of coding standards, how to deal with people and how to deal with the bullshit drama in some areas. This would be a useful course for geeks lacking social skills and while they may not learn a huge heap about coding, they could learn a lot of more useful stuff to them in the long run.

  18. Overseas? on Resident Evil 4 Waggles To the Wii · · Score: 1

    Which seas is this over? America? Japan? Europe?

    We have many Overseas and we could do with it clearing up.

  19. Re:Not jumping the gun. on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 1

    Have you NEVER played NiGHTS? NiGHTS entire point was "This is the dream world, reality does not apply here"

  20. Re:Not jumping the gun. on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 1

    It will also mean levels will require a more generic design to switch. Now maybe if each level had a "special" area only accessable with one type of weather this could be fun.

  21. Re:Not News on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 1

    I ment using the Wii, it wasn't ment to imply the first ever. :)

  22. Re:I have no idea what NIGHTS is... on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 2, Informative

    NiGHTS was a saturn game where you flew around as a Nightmarian (aka NiGHTS) and basicly flew through hoops, followed paths and had a jolly good time. If you've never played it you're really missing out on a classic!

  23. Masks? :( on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 2, Insightful

    IS it just me or does this song like it's ruining the point of NiGHTS? In the original we didn't need masks or collectable ideas, you just got to the shrine and you were off. Why include artifical barriers like masks when the game it's self isn't suited to to them?

  24. Re:Awesome. on NiGHTS Wii uses Forecast Channel for Game Weather · · Score: 1

    NiGHTS is one of those games which really defined an era. It was amazing to play and is still great to play now, if you don't think era defining games arn't news for nerds then I don't think you belong here.

    Plus shall we mention this is the first time this has been done in a game?

  25. Re:Yes and no on Should Chimps Have Human Rights? · · Score: 1

    Just to continue the argument.. who is to say bugs are just machines? We do not know bugs 100%, they may well feel and think just like we do.
