  1. Here's an idea. . . on Digital DJs Unaware of Copyright Law · · Score: 1

    Here's an idea, if you're a DJ don't play at Square's Conventions in Lameville. . . I seriously doubt like, a raver DJ is going to get busted on this, its not like the drug users are going to rat out that DJ. . .

  2. Re:Poor Xbox on OPM's Big List of Games To Play · · Score: 1

    he forgot Forza Motorsport, Steel Battalion, Phantom Dust, Rallisport Challenge, Jet Set Radio Future, Mechassault, Dead or Alive 3, Deathrow, Shenmue 2, and Full Spectrum Warrior. One could argue that that list is spread out across 3 distinct consoles. poor xbox indeed. but I suppose I'm just being rude.

  3. Re:Vertical/horizontal shooters. on OPM's Big List of Games To Play · · Score: 1

    I second, third, fourth, and fifth that! It's my favourite shooter, mainly because it forces you to play a puzzle game without even realizing it.

  4. Re:A serious question... on OPM's Big List of Games To Play · · Score: 1

    I see. . . I guess I shouldn't have judged without playing the GBA version, because the psx version is like, mastery of the tactical RPG genre. My bad :(

  5. Re:A serious question... on OPM's Big List of Games To Play · · Score: 1

    Front Mission 2 through 4 are amazing tactical strategy/rpg games. I bought a PS1 and Front Mission 3 after playing the SNES emulation of Front Mission 1.

    I was about to call you a blasphemer when you started to trash FFT, but I guess the GBA version isn't as good as the ps1 version?

  6. Re:Most important part on A Look Back at Making Mario 64 · · Score: 1

    I never really felt like the controls were difficult, or the camera hated me. This is why I think Mario 64 is one of the best 3D platformers. I didn't find the levels repetitive because even though you did the same level over and over, each mission was very much unique and was often seperated into its own part of the environment. Unfortunately I can't expect you to change your opinion based on my opinion, so I guess as they say, to each his/her own:D

  7. !creative labs on Retrofitting an iPod into a Geiger Counter · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I'm surprised that the geiger didn't go off when he put ipod near it :P go creative labs. . .

  8. Re:Why would it be silly? on OEM Hard Drive With Window · · Score: 1

    how do you plug your mouse into software. . . oh wait, that's ps/2, my bad.

  9. Re:Overkill on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 1

    I think you're missing the point. . . These $2000 top-top-notch videocards exist only to make the realistic ones reasonably priced. Okay so $2000 was probably a bit of an exaggeration, (based on 4x$500) but when the next gen of cards come out, the current generation takes about 50% price drop, which is when the "real" people actually buy them.

  10. A finger in every pot. on Is Microsoft Still a Monopoly? · · Score: 1

    I think microsoft is just realizing that it generally pays off more or atleast isn't quite as big a risk to have a finger in every proverbial pot. It's like investing, you can put all your money in one high risk stock, or spread it out into many seperate stocks.

  11. Re:Also, Phantom Dust on 30 Greatest Games of 2005 · · Score: 1

    I'd mention the fact that they classified Phantom Dust as Strategy and Guild Wars as Role Playing so you can't really make a comparison between them, but then I'd come off as a troll.

    Did you even play Phantom Dust, because it really did have an immersive universe.

  12. Re:There's a solution to this... on Disabled Fans Shut Out of Galaxies · · Score: 1
    If a disabled person wanted to play Counter-strike, she'd need a client-side AimBot, which is very clearly cheating. Your suggestion is not as bad, but it's on the same lines.


    or she'd need right mouse button bound to move forward, and left mouse button to shoot, which is very clearly cheating.

  15. The age old Zombie vs Robot debate: on EA's Best-kept Secret · · Score: 1

    Great so now instead of playing games that were made by mindless zombie workers (working sometimes even 48hours a day), we get them from emotionless robots. good Job EA!!

  16. Re:PSU+Carpet. . . on Fix Your Crashing X-Box 360 With String · · Score: 1

    and you my friend, have won the Oblivious To Any Kind Of Humor At All Award.

    In no seriousness at all, are you suggesting that people can not have any hard surfaces in their bedrooms/living rooms. . . People have furniture you know. . . and furniture isn't generally isn't carpeted. . .

    I just had a great idea, why don't I take all the furniture out of my bedroom, and the furniture from my living room, then try eating/sleeping/typing/gaming/everything entirely on the carpet, It obviously sounds like a good idea to the people who have their 360s going crazy. . .

    so anyway, do I win a prize?

  17. Re:This is how... on NES Controller MP3 player hack · · Score: 1

    Actually, It kind of looks like a Nomad Muvo, with its casing intact. . .

  18. PSU+Carpet. . . on Fix Your Crashing X-Box 360 With String · · Score: 2, Interesting

    How about not putting the PSU on carpet. . . I bet that would fix 9 out of every 10 complaints.
    If you bought a new PC, would you set your PSU on the carpet? no you wouldn't.

    When I get an X360 I'm going to stuff it in a PC case (the whole console) and mount the PSU in the regular PSU alotted area. . .

  19. Re:10 pages? bleh on Prognosticating Sony's Downfall · · Score: 1

    What's a ybox? Who makes the ybox? why have i never heard of a ybox? and finally, when does this fabled ybox come out? I seriously doubt the ybox will be able to compete with the xbox 360 launch this month. . .

  20. No , it isn't. on Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD Not Over Yet · · Score: 2, Insightful

    show me an ISP that can feasibly deliver 30-50gb of data in less than 2-3 days to EVERY one of its clients at ANY time, and your argument will have merit.

    The truth is that the world can't support online distribution yet, and it will only be around when the whole HD/BluRay has been decided, and they're looking at the next gen format.

    now when I'm sailing my ship in a rainstorm I get to have salty water splashed in my face, and on my keyboard and mouse, and in my computer.
