  1. Re:Hmm on Console Makers Scaling Back Their Push For HD · · Score: 1

    And yet to prove that point you had to pick one of the oldest games still played on the PC, which is deliberately made with very low end graphics because it's a freakin MMO.

  2. Re:Hmm on Console Makers Scaling Back Their Push For HD · · Score: 2, Interesting

    We PC gamers have been asking that ever since we hit 1600x1200 and higher around 1999-2000, and you guys STILL have 200 less lines than us on your "full HD" resolution.

    Something else that's been bugging me is the offer regarding user annotations. Are those supposed to be stored elsewhere because if they aren't amazon just gave away that they don't just have a killswitch but also keep watch on what you do with the kindle.

    No, they don't. My school had ONE teacher that sold suprisingly healthy muffins between classes at a fixed location and the rest of the "vending machines" were $2 per mini-gatorade ripoffs.

    Yeah it's a shame that at the same time I can no longer set my preferences for the old "clear private data" system and just do it whenever, now every time I try to clear all of that it pops up a goddamn window asking me if I'm sure. EVERY TIME.

  10. Re:I have this image... on Achron — an RTS With Time Travel · · Score: 1

    Actually they did in one video, damage incurred to past incarnations is carried to future incarnations somehow. I don't know if this means you can take strategic incarnations out of the timeline to the future to repair them or what. The whole game looks like someone saw the time travel vocabulary part of the hitchikers guide and said "Hey lets build an RTS around that!"

  11. Re:Avatar first-impression: on Avatar, Has Sci-fi Found Its Heaven's Gate? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Actually the mech wasn't the badguy, the humans running it just accidentally let out the bad guy by cutting up the tree he was magically imprisoned in.

    What, why are you all looking at me like that?

  12. Re:What about NES Redesign on A History of the Shrinking Game Console · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm just bitter about switching to CD's is all. Blowing on the disk just isn't the same as blowing in the cartridges. It'd be great if the big three would come out with addons that didnt boot your game up until you blew in the "cartridge" and reinsterted it randomly.

    Heretic, everyone knows there is only the one TRUE NES with the Zero Insertion Force cartridge system.

  14. Re:Call me paranoid... on Switzerland's Data Protection Watchdog Wants Street View Disabled · · Score: 1

    The proposal makes no sense because I was trying to accomodate people who have a problem with pictures taken by a bigass van with 360deg cameras on top. It's not like ninjas are sneaking around or anything.

  15. Re:Call me paranoid... on Switzerland's Data Protection Watchdog Wants Street View Disabled · · Score: 2, Informative

    Then maybe the better solution would be to not streetview map residential areas and stick to cities, because actually getting a street level view of where I should end up has crtainly saved my ass several times.

    And people wonder why i still have a ball mouse. Periodically I find it useful to have something that works even on dirty windows.

    cinematics vs supposedly actual engine footage. Although still D3 looks barely better than black and white 2 crossed with WoW.

    Are spellcasters/magical classes still going to dominate everyone else in multiplayer or what?

    Trying to get useful info off the internet is like trying to send a 6 year old grocery shopping. Unless you give it EXACT instructions and handle the results very carefully he's going to come home with a shopping cart full of poptarts and cereal.

    The question is more at what point has it involved enough of your work to be considered fair as a parody rather than just plagiarism. That one's a tough one.

    Yes, it is, but it was Times' parody and he just added "socialism" under it.

  25. Re:Hmm... on Average Gamer Is 35, Fat and Bummed · · Score: 1

    However there is a pretty good possibility that the correlation is actually working in the other direction. Does gaming lead to overweightness and/or depression for various reasons or is it that those kinds of people gravitate towards gaming.

    I didn't lose my physical fitness because I picked up gaming, I picked up gaming for something to do after developing joint problems and getting a nasty case of pneumonia that put me on my ass for 3 years.
