  1. Re:I was always taught... on Inside the Games Machines of the Future · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Of course not. More processing power=more demanding fans=higher cost of development.
    No publisher will now take a risk on innovative games, unless they're self-funded (like Lionhead Studios) or made in developing countries(the Codemasters approach).

  2. Re:I was always taught... on Inside the Games Machines of the Future · · Score: 1, Funny

    Like Custer's Revenge?

  3. Well on Gaming With a Headmouse? · · Score: 2, Informative

    If you're looking for hardware this claims to be game compatible and there's an article here which touches on disabled gaming.
    If software, really you're probably going to be looking at non twitch turn based stuff. As I don't know which genres you're into or what sort of PC you have, I can't really recommend anything.

  4. Why so much broadband? on American View On Korean Broadband Leadership · · Score: 5, Funny

    You can play Starcraft perfectly well on a 56k line.

  7. Popular culture teaches kids to kill on Grand Theft Auto Led Teen to Kill · · Score: 0

    Just look at Leviticus.

  8. Were the webcams using reasonable force? on Serial Burglar Caught on Webcam · · Score: 1

    This man could be in a lot of trouble - the correct legal response to a burglar over here is to give him all your possessions and ask him not so sue you.

  9. Re:Ford Prefect is a black American? on Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Trailer · · Score: 1

    Well, is isn't more amusing that an alien is using a US accent without realizing that people from Guildford don't talk like that? I mean this is a character that chose the name "Ford Prefect" because he thought it sounded nicely inconspicuous.

    Good point, but then you miss out on the situation where Arthur Dent is willing to accept all of Ford Prefect's weirdness because he's from Guildford.

  10. Wonderful on Harrods Sells Holographic TV · · Score: 0

    This is fugging brilliant.

  11. I was into this stuff when I was 10-13 on NYT on Warhammer · · Score: 1

    And have no clue what it's like now, however, I'm quite surprised advances in computer game technology haven't cut into their market. I'd have thought things like the Total War engine, Combat Mission games etc would have crippled the tabletop gaming scene.

  12. Re:One step closer to tracking the entire populati on GPS-Enabled Criminals In Massachusetts · · Score: 1

    Yes, and then after we've all received the Mark of the Beast the Antichrist will come and blablabla. Don't you sky-pixie freaks ever give up?

    How the fuck is he supposed to pretend to be from Guildford now?

  15. Environmentalist have to take some blame on Kyoto Protocol Comes Into Force · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Modern nuclear power is cleaner, safer, cheaper and more efficient than it ever was, yet we continue to build toxic, filthy fossil fuel plants. Why?

    Because of the relentless, unscientific green PR campaign that's portrayed every nuclear plant as a Chernobyl in waiting. Wind, sun and waves are not always an option, and anti-nuclear campaigning has left no choice but fossil fuels.

  16. Re:Communists on Stallman Feeds Gates His Own Words · · Score: 1

    But Communism in Russia fitted neither of those definitions, unless you believe Lenin's "dictatorship of the proletariat" line.

    And a pure free market has as much chance of existing as pure Communism.

  17. And this time, with formatting on Stallman Feeds Gates His Own Words · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Doh

    In lefty terms:
    Capitalism=market based, means of production are owned by a few.
    Mutualism=market based, means of production are owned by all.
    Communism=non market based, means of production are owned by all.
    Stalinism=non market based, means of production are owned by a few.

    Obviously that's a very loose set of definitions, based around the Trot line, and changes depending on which lefty cult the person you're talking with belongs to.

    That reviewers for magazines that rely on advertising from large publishers tend not to be the best reviewers either.
