  1. Re:When will we get multi-platform multi-player? on Nintendo DS to use GameSpy · · Score: 1

    That would explain why everything comes out like "All your base are belong to us."

  2. bad decision on Nintendo DS to use GameSpy · · Score: 2, Informative

    I cannot stand gamespy. I have had such horrible experiences with it that I avoid it all all costs. Costs like buying games that use it.

  3. Re:Interesting pricing on Apache Jakarta Commons · · Score: 1

    What Barnes and Noble isn't telling their members is that they are still paying more than if they went to Amazon!

    Wow. That is stunning.

  4. Re:First Post! I mean Revolution rumor. on The DS and Revolution to Connect Wirelessly · · Score: 1

    But posting it twice will get you double the mod points!

  5. Re:well on The DS and Revolution to Connect Wirelessly · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Just in case of what?

  6. Re:I'm waiting for on Real ID: You Can Still Fight It · · Score: 1

    I wasn't aware that ID software made Unreal. Or did they buy them?

  7. Re:Why is this so confusing? on From Carnivore to Herbivore · · Score: 1

    In biology class, one of the things you learn is that plants have the most energy-to-size ratio (i forget the actual term).

    Looks like you didn't learn it, then :)

  9. Re:Um, where is this? on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    Wow, that was creative :) I feel like I'm reading the sequel to A Beautiful Mind.

  10. Re:Nice review on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 1

    In the MSOffice 2003, the only improvement was in the Outlook portion. Everything else was the same...

  11. Um, where is this? on Associated Press Reviews OpenOffice · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Peter Svensson of the Associated Press has reviewed OpenOffice and declared it a Microsoft Office killer:

    Anyone care to point out where this was said, because I obviously missed it when I RTFA...

  12. Re:I don't get it. on Gamespot - Stupid Pants Operation · · Score: 1

    Like I'm gonna click on that link :)

  13. Rotten tomatoes on Initial ROTS Reviews Hit the Internet · · Score: 5, Informative

    I prefer to let Rotten Tomatoes compile all of the ratings for me...

  14. Re:hmm on GameSpot To Launch GameCenter Service · · Score: 1

    I hate gamespy. Like I need another app running on my machine when I'm trying to play a game. And then, after getting people together, you have to launch the game (experience with Freedom Force). OTOH, FF2 integrated "gamespy" into the game this time, I believe.

  15. Re:"you're fired" on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 1

    Actually, you're wrong, but it was meant as a joke anyway...

    FTA: "Most of the job losses will be at IBM's European operations as the firm looks to focus on high-growth markets."

  16. "you're fired" on IBM Gives SCO the Works · · Score: 5, Funny

    And now that the 400 have done the work, they will be part of the 13,000 fired...

  17. Re:Nice photoshop work... on How Lightsabers Work · · Score: 1

    Somehow, there is a shadow from the light saber.

    That's the dark side of the force...

  18. snopes on Al Gore to Receive Internet Achievement Award · · Score: 2, Informative

    And here is the Snopes.com page to refute it all...

  19. When? on Live E3 Coverage From G4 and MMORadio · · Score: 1

    When does e3 begin, anyway?

  20. Suggestion...vehicle control on The Next Unreal Tournament · · Score: 1

    If they need something to improve, it could be vehicle control. I'd love to have a Manta where I could look around without turning. Or a Scorpion that could take harder turns (without using the spacebar, which usually just grinds you to a halt).

  21. Re:oh snap, I need a bigger hard drive. on The Next Unreal Tournament · · Score: 1

    I don't know how well linux runs in low free space, but I do know windows can't handle it, so I'm leary to try it.

    You mean that Windows can't handle UT2k4?? Runs fine on my ancient machine...

  22. Re:Game Speed? on The Next Unreal Tournament · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Ever play Quake II CTF with the off-hand grapple? That was probably the most fun that I've ever had gaming.

    Onslaught is great, and for another breath of fresh air, I loved Call of Duty. I had never played a game that was meant to be realistic (as in you can't hop around like a bunny, and that you have real guns).

  23. Re:Looks incredible, but... on The Next Unreal Tournament · · Score: 1

    Sounds like we're in the same boat, though. I'll keep upgrading this comp w/o buying a new one until I can, when I have some money. So, on the horizon, I need a new graphics card and flat-screen monitor. All components that I hope to pass on to my next machine.

    In fact, I never even considered playing UT04 until my dad got a new computer over Christmas. So that I could "test" his new computer, I downloaded some demos (FarCry and UT04). I knew that my old comp had no chance with FarCry, but I had to give the UT a shot. I was pleasantly surprised that it worked well enough. Sure, things aren't as crisp as I would like, and I can't use the lightning gun, but there are other strategies and guns that you can use to get around the limitations.

  24. Looks incredible, but... on The Next Unreal Tournament · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Those screenshots really look impressive, but one reason why I bought UT04 was that it was still impressive on my old pentium 899 mhz. Sure, my frame rate isn't great, but the gameplay is.

  25. Re:MMOPG on MMOG Expansions Incoming · · Score: 1

    I'd play a MUD if the Crystal Shard were still around...great way to waste away the day at work...
