  1. Did they forget the storyline? on Alliance WoW Race Revealed? · · Score: 1

    I don't see why these two new playable races would abandon Illidan in Outland only to join separate factions in Azeroth. They both owe their lives to him. But I'm sure they will come up with a paper-thin reason for their turncoat. After all, that's what they did for the Night Elves and Undead. The game would have been so much cooler(story and gameplay wise) if they stuck to the four factions in Warcraft 3, and added a fifth one in the expansion.

  2. Re:the divide... mortal enemy of multiply on Judge Blocks Ban on Violent Video Game Sales · · Score: 1
    If you can't tell the difference between fantasy and reality, you shouldn't be watching movies OR playing video games. Same for your brother, and for all sentient beings.
    What are you? Some sort of unfeeling machine? Sure there is a difference between reality and fantasy, but the goal of art is to evoke some sort of emotion in you.
  3. No way! on Blockbuster's Offensive Against Netflix Flops · · Score: 1

    Porn over the internet? There's no market for that!

  4. Re:"To challenge our faith"? More like a flood on Scientists Find Preserved Dodo Bird Bones · · Score: 1

    To sum that all up.

    God lies to us through logic. God used to show off his phenomenal, cosmic powers at the slightest offense(to prove his existence), but now he doesn't really care. Some things in the bible are true, but others aren't. So instead of believing what one dude says, believe this other dude without a shred of proof, because I have faith. And faith supersedes facts and logic, which are just god's way of sending you to hell anyway.

  5. Re:WOW! on Blizzard Banhammer Kills 18k · · Score: 1
    Piracy is impossible in MMOGs as you are paying for the registration code, not the game itself, and the registration code should be impossible to counterfit.
    I think that the poster you replied to was talking about actual piracy. You know, firing cannons over the bow of their ship. Then boarding them, slaughtering the crew until the captain agrees to parley. All to reap the precious boxes of WoW being shipped to china.
  6. Re:This is awesome.. on Jack Thompson Buys Stock in GTA Parent Company · · Score: 1
    I am suprised he didn't do this earlier. I am so glad I am not a boardmember of Take-two...
    You and me both! I just wouldn't be able to bear listening to some zealous nut at work all day and then be driven in my Rolls-Royce to my mansion. I would probably be so exhausted that I would have to spend the rest of the night with my super-model girlfriends in my hot tub.
  7. Re:In all fairness on Impressions From A Second Shipment 360 Owner · · Score: 1

    That's only assuming that the buyers of the modded Xboxes would have bought full-priced retail games. After factoring in the cost of a hard drive and xbox, how much were they actually selling those copied games for? It couldn't be more than a few cents each.

    Unless there is something that I really want, I will not buy it at full price. If I happed to find it for a fraction of that cost, I might pick it up.

  8. Re:The obvious reasons on Pokemon Gene Renamed Under Legal Threat · · Score: 1
    Indeed, and there's something else one could refer to as a "pocket monster", but you wouldn't want children playing with it.


    Speak for yourself!
  9. Re:The problem is... on Israeli Company Creates Nano-Armor · · Score: 5, Funny
    The armor may survive, but will the wearer be, too?
    No. As soon as the wearer of such armor is struck, he will instantaneously be transformed into absolute nothingness*. Thus he will no longer be.

    *Whether "nothingness" is Void, Null, Cipher, Zero, Nothing, or Jersey is still under debate.
  10. Re:The View-Master on Popular Toys Throughout the Ages · · Score: 1
    Mecca is in Saudi Arabia, not Iraq.
    They're next.
  11. Contest on Bioware/Pandemic To Go Public · · Score: 3, Funny

    How will this effect the job I win from their Neverwinter Nights module contest?

  12. Re:You cannot legislate responsibility! on Clinton Files Game Legislation · · Score: 1
    For example, some christian organizations treat Harry Potter as evil for its depictions of magic, etc.
    I always thought it was funny that the witches and wizards of Hogwarts all celebrate Christmas.
  13. Re:Don't Senators watch PBS? on Clinton Files Game Legislation · · Score: 1
    the myth that video games cause children to become aggressive homicidal sociopaths


    This sounds like a good idea for a Myth Busters episode.
  14. It's about the cool factor. on Why You Can't Buy A 360 · · Score: 5, Funny

    Because a company has finally come around that doesn't care about money. A company who decides that they want to make their customers look cool by being the only one on the block to have their rare game system. If you go out and by commonly available, high-priced system, you are a rich snob. If you go out and mannage to get your hands on a semi-high-priced, nearly-nonexistant system, you are truly the coolest of the cool.

  15. Makes Sense on Small Publishers Winning Mobile Gaming Race · · Score: 1

    Since most mobile gamers aren't expecting ultra-realistic graphics/physics in their hand(just something fun to pass the time), a small company doesn't need an army of graphic artists/coders to produce a game. I see this as a good thing. Without graphics being the main selling point, there will be more games that focus on fun gameplay.

  16. Rag Doll Kung Fu? on RagDoll Development · · Score: 1

    That interview makes Rag Doll Kung Fu sound like a really cool game. Has anybody here played it before? What did you think of it?

  17. Re:XBox viable? on Are three cores better than two? · · Score: 3, Funny
    Yes, but that was due to a lack of string.
    Well that's the string theory.
  18. I propose a test on World's Tallest Building Causing Earthquakes? · · Score: 1

    We should test out this theory by building super tall buildings on beds of extremely soft sedimentary rocks in other areas.

  19. Re:What a load... on Game Designers Lack An X Chromosome · · Score: 1

    I've played quite a number of online games and there seems to be a HUGE number of homosexuals. I can never pick them out, but my fellow gamers seem to spot them almost instantly and let everybody else know about it too. So I can only assume that there is a market for homosexualy skewed games.

  20. I'm hoping for.. on Smash Bros. Creator On-Board For Revolution Smash · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I hope that they include some more characters that aren't just different looking Mario. I can understand why they need Luigi, but is Dr. Mario really necessary? Being a self proclaimed master of Smash Bros, I can feel the difference between two similar characters, but it is a little disappointing to unlock Ganondorf to find out that he is just a Cptn Falcon. I am hoping for more unique, Ice Climber-type, characters.

  21. How Few? on Xbox 360 Launches In Europe · · Score: 3, Funny

    I wonder how few Xboxes will be needed to create a simulated shortage when the Japanese release day comes.

  22. Re:Game Promotion? on BioWare Hiring Writers by Contest · · Score: 1

    I think you're right. There is already a huge number of modules for this game and many of them are very well written. If they truly are looking for new talent, why not contact some of these mod authers?

  23. Re:The middle ground? on The Industry On In-Game Advertising · · Score: 1
    If Carl Johnson drank Sprite instead of (whatever the made up name of a soda was), I'd actually prefer that.
    That would just cheapen the whole experience for me. Think about all of the in-game radio ads that, instead of trying make you laugh, will be trying to separate you from your money.
  24. Can't walk the dog past 7-11 on Driving Away Teens With High Frequency Noise · · Score: 1

    Looks like you can forget about walking your dog past the 7-11. It would be even worse for a blind man and his guide dog. I don't think the squirrels or birds will be too happy either.

  25. Re:Educate Yourself Before Commenting on Singapore Blogger Spared Jail · · Score: 1
    Also, in a country where you can cane, imprison or kill people for offences that would warrant a fine elsewhere...
    But the reverse of that is also true: In a country where you are mearly given a fine for offences that would warrant a caning, imprisonment, or death elsewhere...

    That's like telling your parents "but Bobby's parents didn't ground him." Just because one group thinks something is right, doesn't mean everybody else agrees.
