  1. All I read is 'feelings'.

  2. Re:Not going to fly after Oculus Rift on A Bid To Take 3D Printing Mainstream · · Score: 1

    when's the last time your Epson/HP/Brother added a coupon to your printouts?

    OH GOD TAKE THAT BACK BEFORE THEY SEE IT.

  3. Dead Space Dead Controls on The Problems With Porting Games · · Score: 1

    Well, they seem to mention Dead Space alot in the article and from personal experience I can tell you that this game has one of the shittiest control schemes i've seen in quite a bit. Every time you switch to target(aim) mode, the mouse sensitivity goes to bollocks which makes aiming really really hard and forces you to up the general sensitivity just to properly play the game.

    I can see why reducing sensitivity in consoles while targetting makes it easier to chop off limbs from the baddies as intended but there was no reason whatsoever to keep this feature enabled on the mouse+keyboard setup.

    The general feel of the controls was more horrifying than the game could ever be, you never felt in control of your character. And it doesn't have to be this way. There are no excuses. Gears of War PC has the same 3rd person view carried over to the PC, but the controls and camera work is near-perfect. My 2c anyway.

  4. Bjarne Stroustrup. on Bjarne Stroustrup on the Problems With Programming · · Score: 1

    What a name! Sounds like a distant cousin of G.Threepwood. I mean, you can even start a law firm with those names. Imagine a big plaque with the sign "Stroustrup & Threepwood" slapped on it.

    Boy that sounds expensive.
    Or silly (me). :)

  5. Ok, I'm depressed now. on NASA Unveils Strategy for Return to the Moon · · Score: 1

    2024? I'm 27, which means if they really manage to build a base by then (which is already doubtful by itself considering the space program's de-evolution), I'll probably never get to see man walk on Mars. In fact, my yet to be spawnlings (aka children), are probably not going to either. Oh well. Anyone want some apple juice ?

  6. Screen Size on Tokyo's Swanky New 360 Lounge Open · · Score: 1

    Somehow reading this news post from an old 12" CRT makes me feel all woozy inside. . .

  7. " so what do you call a moon with no planet? " on New Tenth Planet Has a Moon · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    moonis aplanetus ! uhm...yeah....

  8. Re:Sounds unnecessary .. on Intel and Laptop RAID? · · Score: 1

    ....and more noise :(

  9. Re:HIV is part of natural selection on Crocodile's Immune System Kills HIV · · Score: 1

    ....I mean I see your point and all. Until it happens to YOU.

  10. Just a quote from an old favorite game.... on Ubisoft Developing Next America's Army Game · · Score: 3, Funny

    Kill, kill, kill..... Doesn't anybody **** anymore ?

  11. How about that : on NTT's Cool - Human Area Networking Technology · · Score: 1

    Combine this with an expensive flash memory implant hidden somewhere cosy inside you : got yourself a nice courrier. Johnny Mnemonic style, woohoo! And they said it couldn't be done .....

  12. Aha.... on Microsoft's AntiSpyware Disabled by Spyware · · Score: 0, Troll

    The good news are that it's Windows, so you are used to that kind of shit :-D Sorry, couldn't resist...

  13. PC getting the shaft.... again..... on Doom 3 Expansion and Xbox Version · · Score: 5, Funny

    Not including co-operative mode for the PC is beyond my comprehension :-/ Do they think that PC users are all lone freaks?

  14. Noooooooo on Counter-Strike Movie Deal Signed · · Score: 2, Informative

    Oh my God noooooooooooo! Uwe is like, the suckiest director ever :-/ If you don't believe me, just rent Night Of The Dead: a SEGA adaptation.... blech......

  15. Ppprrfrrffrrrrttttt..... on Converting Images Into Sounds for the Blind · · Score: 1

    .......that would be beige I guess.

  16. That is a very good deal. on 8Mbit Broadband to Become Available in the UK · · Score: 1

    Well, compared to the 0.384/0.128 Mpbs I get for the same amount of money where I live, I'd say it's right about time I should start weeping like an infant. Either that or leave the country :(

  17. Re:*rubs hands together* on Doom Movie Update · · Score: 1

    Well, it's because you have been ill-informed buddy! Doom III is a 3D adventure! Not an FPS. I love how you don't get to find the duct tape, not even in the very end! So atmospheric... (00ze...) :-D

  18. Re:old-fasioned on PC Setup for Small House with Child? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If I were your kid, it's YOUR life that will be unussualy short. Soon as I could get the power to do so, I'd make you pay. And it would probably include a wide leather belt, for fun. Remember, not all kids are the same. Consider that, the next time you think about using that belt.

  19. Re:I think I saw that guy... on Math Whiz Breaks Calculation Record · · Score: 1

    ..... and he could probably stand there and look at 25 - 1 more guys' PIN before he had to start writing down :-D
