  1. Re:Death penatly for spyware. on Gator's EULA Dissected · · Score: 1

    In Davis Square near Boston there is an intersection where it is legal to take a left on red. There is a sign indicating that it is allowed though. It is the only instance of left on red that I am aware of. IANATLL (I am not a traffic law lawyer) though.

  2. Re:Based on experience on Anti-Spyware Products Don't Live Up to Promises · · Score: 1

    You forgot step 5.Then plug in your internet connection.

    If you do step 5 out of order your fresh install will be meaningless within minutes. I have seen this first hand, spam popups upon the login for penis pills.

  3. Another in great tradition on Metal Gear Movie? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am sure this will be another great addition to the long tradition of legendary game-movie conversion. Recall such greats a Boob Raider, Mario Brothers, and the best of all Wing Commander!!! Seriously, Wing commander 3 and 4 were better movies with far better acting than that pathetic Hollywood attempt.

    As much as it may suck I would rather see great games make crappy movies than see great movies (Star Wars) turn into nothing more than game launching platforms (Pod Racing).

    Plus there is always a chance it won't suck.

  4. Obsolete again... on ATI Unveils the X850 Series · · Score: 2, Informative

    $550 eh, so I could either buy an Athlon 64, a new motherboard and a gig of RAM, or buy a videocard. Well the major bonus of this is that I will finally be able to afford the last generation cards.

  5. Perfect score agenda? on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 0

    I remain suspicious of reviews with so much praise and perfect scores. 10/10, is the game really perfect or at they pushing their own agenda?

    I think what they are really doing is hoping to convince more newbies to join so they have that many more people to squish with their uber leet loot.

    Or maybe since they invested so much time and money in their virtual characters they need other people to join go give that character any kind of relevance.

    Could be they just like the game too though.

  6. My take on WoW fromt eh Beta on Review: World of Warcraft · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I played the WoW beta from the beginning till around August.

    Although it was fun it was also very repetitive and really not something you will want to play for the long haul without some major changes. Up until I left every character of the same class was essentially identical. My major problem with this game is that there is nothing in it that if fun for it's own sake. Grand Theft Auto is a game that is fun to play without the proverbial carrot always taunting you will that new skill/power/loot.
    Another major problem with WoW is that you have no effect on the world you "live" in. This may have changed in the final months but when I left you could not even place items on the ground. This really destroys the feeling of living in a world when you have no way to affect any kind of change upon anything. I felt this was more of a game that people just happened to be playing at the same time instead of a really interactive experience. Anyway I got sick of the repetition.

    I give it 7/10, decent but nothing great.

    A massively multilayer Grand Theft Auto would be a game that would claim may a soul. It will happen eventually but not for a long time I think.

  8. Re:Define 'hojillion' on Tycho and Gabe Respond to Your Questions · · Score: 1

    That was funny, so I made it permanent. Well as permanent as an entry on wictionary can be. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Hojillion

  12. Re:Completely anonymous P2P? on MPAA Sues Movie-Swappers · · Score: 1

    You know it is quite possible for the government to pass laws that are not in the publics best interest. Just look up some of the bills that have been proposed in the last few years. Just because there is a law does not make that law just. Blind acceptance of the law makes you a slave.

  13. Re:CDS?!? on Half-Life 2 Release Date Broken · · Score: 1

    Who has a 200$ videocard to play Half Life 2, Doom III, or Unreal 2004 yet does not have a 15$ DVD ROM. I have been complaining about this for years, at least some games are starting to release DVD versions, I know Unreal 2004 did, but you had to wait an extra few weeks for it.
