  1. Re:And when the Smog Monster causes problems... on Stop Global Warming With Smog? · · Score: 1

    Yah, I think Godzilla could take Smaug.

  2. Bots r fun on Blizzard Lawyers Visit Creator of WoW Glider · · Score: 1

    I used to write ALOT of bots for other MMORPGS before it became a big thing to do. Bots ruin a game only because people come to the realization that its not really a game, just a repetitive task that a computer can do for you with more determination. There is something of cruel joy when your PK bot pwns newbies screaming,"Peace!" If I wasn't starting to kick but in Texas Holdem, I'd spend my time writing a Tekken style RPG, where you actually have to fight. DDO tried it, but their attacks aren't varied enough, nor do they check where you get hit at.

  3. Re:Honestly on When High End Gaming Machines Fight · · Score: 1

    Since they actually have to use action in their games, I'd say those dregs are better than WOW dregs that just grind for leveling, or zerg dungeons.

  4. Top MMOGS of teh future on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Asheron's Call did it right with motes. Collect 2 and it forms a bigger one. Do this for elemental immunity %. 2^100 is a lot of motes to find. Sure you can find ones in higher #s but its a collect game that will never stop.

    Castles that rule housings. You have to conquer the castle to get it, then people who farm the land and run crafthouses pay tithes to you. Any band of adventurers can try and steal your Castle off you, but your offline guildmates show up and defend it.

    Real time combat like Mortal Kombat or Tekken. It'd be like Zelda Ocariana of time MMOG. You would have to do all sorts of sword play or aiming bows like a FPS.

    Those are just 3 of my big ideas.

    I already did #3, but I'm making it multiplayer over the next couple months. I got some bugs with directdraw not working, but it doesn't stop the 3d action combat.

  5. Slashdot on Are College Students Techno Idiots? · · Score: -1

    Slashdot is a waste of timeliness.

  6. Horray the experiment worked!!! on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

    Now that we know it will work, so why should we do the work?

  7. Re:NASA weighs moon plans on NASA Weighs Moon Plans · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think its because its been putting on a few pounds.

  8. So is this the big news we were told last week on Halo 3 Multiplayer Demo Coming In Spring · · Score: 1

    Cuz I was expecting BIG news.

  9. Doesn't China just pirate stuff? on Fighting For the Chinese Gaming Market · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Except for MMORPGS where they farm gold, don't they play all emulated games? In a culture where 50 cents an hour is good pay, I don't see people shelling out for $10 or up software.

  10. Re:The most secured system... on Successful Alternatives To Password Authentication? · · Score: 1

    The thought terrified me of being locked in a room with a PC without internet. It reminds me too much of 15 years ago *shudder*.

  11. Stupid joke on The Information Factories Are Here · · Score: 1

    And how soon will it, in its inevitable turn, become a dinosaur?'"

    1) Develop AI 2) Engineer cars that transform into robots. 3) Use a stop watch to time the speed it takes to go from car to dinosaur. 4) Flee in panic.

  12. By 2048 on Oceans Empty By 2048? · · Score: 1

    By 2048, won't we have most of the Ocean's life DNA on backup storage drives, so we can recreate any animal as needed per zoo? Nah, probably not 2048, more like we'll have the DNA, but won't be able to create animals until 2150 or so. I'm seriously not hopeful in this technology, just raising a dull point.

  13. Contra's vertical scrolling level on Some of the Best Game Levels of All Time · · Score: 1

    Sometimes you go so fast your ally dies. Then they steal lives off you.

  14. Army of Darkness 2 on YouTube Finds Signing Rights Deals Frustrating · · Score: 1

    I emailed Bruce Campbell about why they won't do AOD2 and its because so many companies own the rights that nothing could get done. It sucks too because he could be warped into a post apocolyptic future with Skeletons manning mechas and stuff.

  15. Can anyone get me the hook up? on E3 Reborn As GamePro Expo · · Score: 1

    E3 only lets people in the industry go. Since I'm out of the industry, can someone hire me as a game review writer or something as an excuse for me to go?

  16. You gotta fight on Bogus Experts Fight Your Right To Broadband · · Score: 1

    for your right
    to brooaaaadband.

  17. An Antibiotic not an Antiviral on Timely Book On Bird Flu · · Score: 1

    I must get a vaccine so I don't get strep throat. Help. I have the flu, I demand Pennicillin. I'm just making fun of the post after post of the same subject. Its like a viral post where everyone posts the same thing in different words, Yay for technology.

  18. Re:Well, that seems reasonable... on The Tax Man Comes To Virtual Australia · · Score: 1

    Sure, we'll let you pay taxes in WOW gold. We'll let you write off donations to charitable causes such as,"The be nice to newbies fund." But if your account gets suspended, you still have to pay up and can't sue Blizzard. Thats right, a fate worse than paying money: paying money to level a character back up to 60.

  19. Cool, Darpa listens to me on Pentagon Reveals News Correction Unit · · Score: 1

    I emailed them and said a television propoganda network is needed. If all the propoganda is truth and not lies, it will be an invaluable tool. The key is, will tempting lies be said. It all has to be truth or it won't work.

  20. I wouldn't mess with NWA on FBI Raids Security Researcher's Home · · Score: 4, Funny

    They're straight out of Compton yo.

  21. Re:Lost in translation? on David Jaffe on the Artist's Way · · Score: 1

    He said not everything is suited to 50mb blu-ray discs. I think he's right. More games are suited to the 25gb blu-ray discs.

  22. Re:Dumbest line ever on Hot Coffee's Effects On The GTA Mod Scene · · Score: 2, Funny

    There is no 'mod proof'. If modrs wanted to mod then it would happen.

    What goes for video games goes for Slashdot

  23. Re:A story weirdly inappropriate for slashdot on Wired's Very Short Stories · · Score: 1

    Broke off marriage, still has ring

  24. Me not know English? That's Unpossible. on Wired's Very Short Stories · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    eom

  25. Then you're in trouble on EA Selling Tutorials Via Xbox Live · · Score: 1, Funny

    If the safety you're using to cover your back goes over your head, then you might be getting sacked soon.
