  1. Re:Interesting "coincidences" on Yet Another EVE Online Scandal? · · Score: 1

    When the story involves PvP manipulating it ANY way is against the rules of fair play. You either do the story missions and then "freeze" time for the next two months while you implement the next part or you don't make it PvP.

    You can't have your cake and eat it, yet here they are eating cake and advertising they still have some.

    Best buy already fessed up on this.

    "I have to put you on hold for this little device for a few moments, please excuse me" VS "hold on phone".

    Personally it would annoy me if you cut me off for a device unless it was an emergency, so yes I see a need for it.

  4. Re:No Online Wii Play? on Games, Movies, Comics Collide · · Score: 1

    I think we're just seeing the games being released now which were being made when the name changed to Wii and all the features were revealed. Give it another 6-12 months and we'll start to see more online play for the Wii.

    Remember Live didn't have many online games at first, because people weren't going to commit to the unknown, but once they saw what it could do they all started to include it in some form.

  6. Macs for artists on Apple Sued Over 'Lacking' Macbook Display · · Score: 5, Insightful

    It sounds dodgy but I can see some logic in this. If macs are sold as artistic machines (Apple sure tries to pull this off with the PC and Mac adverts) then shouldn't the monitors be as high quality and accurate as possible? I mean illusions are fun and all but you want the real thing if you're working on important art peices or photos

  7. Re:That'll make you cringe on Microsoft Using .MS TLD · · Score: 1

    Not to be a complete bitch and rape your point.

    Why can't a start up evolve inside a larger company and be fighting for resources? If someone said "We started in google and had to fight for resources, we're a start up based inside Google" people would go "oh wow! Google is so awesome!" and not question it what so ever.

    I am not supporting MS but I have to question why it's not possible for Nill to go "fuck it, lets give these muppets a chance to see how Googles style works".

    Or could just be marketing :P

  14. Re:No way. on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 1

    erm no. I was pointing out RPG in Japan means a tale told over various hours of gameplay. Where as western RPGs are more free roaming with a loose plot.

  15. Re:No way. on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not customisable? You decide what weapons tto use and what tunic for starters.

    And Japanese RPGs are stories being told over a long period, not the western RPG definition.

  16. Re:No way. on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 1

    Twilights princess is the same as OoT. It's payable but the running horse battles and wold form save the game IMO.

    And no, Zelda was always called an action RPG, like secret of mana was. It was never an "adventure" game ever.

  17. Re:Voice Acting on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I completely disagree. If you add voices it changes the characters.

    Take for example Link, he got a new voice actor for Twilight princess. The new guy is mostly known for playing Dearka elsman from Gundam SEED Destiny, the old ne was mostly known for Guy from Gaogaigar. The two characters are complete opposites and I personaly felt Link was diffeent in feel because of his voice more than the way he acted.

    Apply this to the entire game but removing Japanese voices to English, it'll completely change the world from the original. So until American companies grasp that we don#t want crappy American voice actors replacing the Japanese voices I, for one, am glad for text only games.

  18. Re:No way. on Does Zelda Need an Overhaul? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The Zelda style of gameplay is what the fans keep coming back for

    Aww young naive kids. Zelda has had several styles of gameplay from RPG to platformer to 3D platformer RPG mess thing. You can't say Zelda has a type of gameplay if you know the series.

  19. Re:Allocation of Resources on Valve Talks Half-Life 2 Episodes 2 And 3 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Different skill sets for different things. I suspect episode 2s models and most of the maps are done. Only minor tweaks left, which don' t require 24/7 mappers, so they move onto episode 3 while the rest finish off episode 2. Simple logic tells you this.

  21. Re:Why Is This In Politics??!!! on Russia Accused of Cyber-War Against Estonia · · Score: 1

    One could argue there is no such thing as an American, only Earthlings.

    But just to invalidate your point. America is a continent, to be born there makes you American, the common American-usage is someone from the United states of America. But either way, believing or not believing in Evolution is not something needed for an American passport, nor American citizenship, which would be two very big features of being American.

  22. Re:Why Is This In Politics??!!! on Russia Accused of Cyber-War Against Estonia · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The world does not evolve around America kiddy wink!

    The politics section originally started out I believe a year or two ago to cover the election and resulting aftermath of "ZOMG BUSH GOT LESS VOTES!" type story. It has since become a more rounded section and carries stories from all over the world under it's banner, because you know "Stuff that matters" is quite often political.

    I mean when people start having wars via the Internet (as this rather implies is happening in some twisted form) it starts to effect us geeks as well. So we discuss it on Slashdot and because it's political based they used the politics banner.

    I feel sorry for you if you can't see that the FAQ maybe outdated and this has been this way for a good few months (maybe 12+) now, so decide to grind your axe on a stone that's been here longer than you probably have (Anoncow has no ID so I can't tell from your number, but I have to assume you're new if you don't understand the politics section).

    Not to mention in a massive crowd all you need to do is fire a shot at the guy and then duck down in 'fear' and throw the gun to the side some where and you've just killed the guy and look completely innocent other than you maybe kind of look Arabic if you're even that colour.

    People forget the simple method is best. It takes the least planning, least chance of being caught and has the best chance of death.

  25. I perfer TFC on User Created Content is Key for New Games · · Score: 1

    I perfer TFC to CS, it's much faster paced and has more strategy than CS. The fact that everyone is even (give or take gun options) makes for an interesting game but the rock/paper/scissors feel of TFC is just more interesting long term for myself.

    Maybe I just perfer capture the flag than 3 minutes of creeping around. But I don't think CS and TFC are ccomparable on equal terms as they are like chalk and cheese.
