  1. Re:ps3 on Final PS3 Launch List Shows 13 Games For America · · Score: 1

    Thats quite the bold statement you made there.... ....except, ya know... not.

  2. Re:The issue is not the pollution on Coal — The Other Alt Fuel · · Score: 1

    Wind farms make noise and kill birds thats alright. Birds are a renewable resource.

  3. Re:Why would anyone want it for the Wii???? on Wii Virtual Console, Launch Titles Finalized · · Score: 1

    Oh cool, thats good to hear. I read an article on IGN lastnight that said "Starting at $8." I definately prefer the flat rate.

  4. My current state on How Many Windows? · · Score: 1

    9 items in my taskbar:

    1: Firefox - 1 tab
    2: Firefox - 2 tabs
    3: Firefox - 19 tabs
    4: Outlook
    5: Microsoft Terminal Services Client
    6: Microsoft Terminal Services Client
    7: Group Policy Management Console
    8: iTunes
    9: Outlook Reminder window

    I restarted late yesterday so I'm sitting pretty low on open items right now. I usually have 5-ish Firefox windows open with several tabs in each and a heavier amount of tabs(10-15) in one or two. .. then usually a Windows Explorer window or two and other misc items.

    My SVCHost has been a real pain latelly and sucking up RAM like a mofo. Its currently using 130MB which is on the lower end of what I've seen it at latelly. Thats the reason for my recent reboot. I do that when my computer starts paging too much.

  5. Re:Why would anyone want it for the Wii???? on Wii Virtual Console, Launch Titles Finalized · · Score: 1

    I think the SNES games for the virtual console begin at $8. I'd assume a premium game like Zelda 3 would command a premium price... Lets hope the price isnt TOO premium though.

  6. Patheticism on School Bans 'Tag' · · Score: 0

    When I was in elementary school they banned all Nerf toys.. we had been playing with a foam Nerf Boomarang and I think it hit someone.... as a result schools ban-stick smote us and our playground fun.


    School isnt a place for fun or physcical activity anyway. Students should each be in padded rooms with no hard surfaces or sharp corners. Any "writing" needs to be dont by means of voice recognition to avoid usage of sharp writing utensils. Reading is done from a screen flush in the wall covered by a thick transparent gel coating for maximum cushioning incase of bodily contact.

  7. In other news on North Korea Air Sample Shows Radiation · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sony recently confirmed its disposal of the previously mentioned exploding batteries by means of burying them in a landfill of North Korea. The landfill was stuffed to capacity and sealed off early last week. Sony reports it intends to bury the remaining defective units somewhere in Iran.

  8. Re:oh noes on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: 0

    I fully expected to be bombarded with a variety of clever and cliche butt jokes. I even contributed. I'm such a team player. Go team!

  9. Re:oh noes on Hubble Discovers Dark Spot on Uranus · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I prefer to call them dingle-berries

  10. Re:Pre-orders are bad on Prelaunch Wii Kiosks Only at GameStop, Pre-Order News · · Score: 1

    lol. Very good point. I would give you 5000 insightful points if I had any.

  11. I wanna talk about me, I wanna talk about I on Does File-Sharing Really Hurt the Music Biz? · · Score: 1

    I prefer the quality and physical ownership of a CD, but I love being able check out new songs to see how I like them via the intarnwebs. As such, all filesharing has done for me is increase my CD purchasing. Myspace has also helped in this regard.

  12. Re:Nintendo Treading On Thin Ice on Miyamoto on Wiimakes, Dead-End Design · · Score: 1

    I dont see the relation between adding tedious in-game actions and a new method of control for a game. The two ideas are rather different. The Wiimote doesnt just add useless actions, its like giving players a third hand in regards to control input to the game.

    Hand 1: joystick.
    Hand 2: buttons such as A or B
    "Hand" 3: Movement of the controller

    The movement input from the controller thankfully being far more robust than just tilt sensing.... I think involving such fancy things as acceleration and possibly even cooler words like inertia that I dont really properly undestand I'm sure.

    Anyway, I think I've forgotten my point, and my coffee cup is empty. Time to submit. Ta Ta For Now.

  13. Re:memories on The Wizard Released on DVD · · Score: 1

    Thats cool. I just wanna wear it to work and around town. I believe then I will meet the criteria for being cool... Gosh at least I hope so.

    I want a Powerglove again dang it.

    Really? Thats cool about the homage to Star Trek! Thanks for the info

  16. well dang on IBM to Buy ISS for $1.3 Billion · · Score: -1, Redundant

    I was gunna make a joke about IBM buyin the International Space Station but uh... .. well I've been beaten to it... about 35 times over.

  17. Re:Stargate? on NASA Names New Spaceship 'Orion' · · Score: 2, Informative

    But then, there have been 8 ships in the USA Navy with the name Enterprise as well as 14 Enterprise ships for Britian's Royal Navy. Its certainly not exclusive to the Trek 'oh Stars Orion though... well thats just a blatant attempt to snag fans from the Stargates... or perhaps fans of Greek mythological hunters.

  18. sometimes... things come to mind... on Moon's Bulge Explained · · Score: 3, Funny

    Well... perhaps the man in the moon was thinkin about some of them women from Venus....

  19. Re:Backwards Compatibility Can Be A Problem... on Microsoft Dismisses Xbox Backwards Compatibility · · Score: 1

    The biggest game buying forces want games for the latest generation of whatever flavor console/s they have (Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo). If your going to make a game for a Sony system, do it for the PS3. Likewise for the other systems.

    Developing for the older system comes off as more cheap/bargain bin style. Even if it was the best thing just a few months previous.

  20. Re:The X-Box is dead, you say? on The End of the Original Xbox · · Score: 1

    lol.. good point about the blinky NES factor. Man, I hate that.

  21. Re:The X-Box is dead, you say? on The End of the Original Xbox · · Score: 1

    Heck ya. I still use my original NES from time to time. I love the old school Metroid and Zelda. I'm sure people who have the old Atari systems play those too.. Systems never really die as long as they have some fun games. However, the end of support and push by the owning company may come to an abrupt halt. Thats when replay value of the games come forward allowing you to witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station! or.. .. um... the console.. I mean you can see the long term playability of the console.

  22. Its true! on Red Steel Impressions Roundup · · Score: 5, Funny

    The Yakuza are respectful. On an episode of The Simpsons when one of them accidently came flying through a window, he bowed before heading back out to rejoin the gang fight. He could have just killed everyone in site, like ninja's sometimes do, but no. He took the time to show the respect and bow. The're sweeties!

    That'd be a seriusly slow private road... 10 minutes for 1 mile?.. on real roads, is that how California really is? Crap that sucks. I'll stay up here in Washington.... and far north of Seattle as well.

  25. Re:OK.. on Retail Leaks of HD-DVD Players, Discs Reported · · Score: 1

    What they want to accomplish with all the extra space? High Def video takes considerably more disk space than the current standard-gen DVDs. So thats what the extra space is for.
