  1. You know what they say.. on Mars Express Successfully Deploys First Boom · · Score: 1

    A new boom sweeps clean.

  2. Doesn't anyone else remember Star Wars Chess? on The Chewbacca Awards · · Score: 1

    It was a battlechess-type game for DOS or early Windows, which I loved unconditionally. When one piece took another, a short cutscene portraying the characters fighting to the death played. The various animations made it all worthwile. I especially loved R2D2 or C3PO killing the Emperor or Vader. Great stuff.

  3. Re:May 10th on CBC for those of us in Canada. on Daleks Return to Dr Who · · Score: 1

    Good point, but that still won't get us a DVD release. Oh well, US-based Who fandom is used to being left in the lurch.

  4. Re:GOD on Enforcing Crytographically Strong Passwords · · Score: 1

    Look out for the women in fake beards throwing stones...

  5. Re:May 10th on CBC for those of us in Canada. on Daleks Return to Dr Who · · Score: 1

    If they do release it in Canada, that'll give all of us US-based Who fans a *much* better option for buying DVDs, rather than importing R2 releases from the UK. Damn, I wish someone would hurry up and sell us this damn thing, so I can stop stealing it.

  6. Fun, but loooong. on Why Must You Destroy The Industry, PSP? · · Score: 4, Funny

    In the time it took me to watch this, I could have cast three whole summon spells in FF7.

  7. Re:Wash Post's street cred on Game Informer Magazine's Massive Reader Base · · Score: 1

    No no no, that guy's hardcore. He beat me in "Super Vito Brothers," he owns at deathmatch in "Boom III" and he found all the hidden packages in "Grand Larceny Auto!"

  8. Re:bah! on Game Music Featured In Hollywood Bowl Concert · · Score: 5, Funny

    It frightens me wondering what sort of weather report that was played over. "60% chance of random encounters, followed by light showers."

  9. Maybe it's odd, but... on OddWorld Inhabitants Leaving the Gaming Industry · · Score: 1

    I have the urge to pat them on the shoulder and say "sorry!" in a squeaky voice.

  10. Great idea! But... on Manipulate Your TV Listings with TiVo+Ajax · · Score: 1

    This will be much more useful when they get around to putting on more than two or three television programs actually worth watching.

  11. x /= "moon" on DART Succumbs to Fuel Problems · · Score: 1

    x = "space station"

  12. Re:Sorry about the donations link in submission on The Video Game Pianist · · Score: 1

    I feel you did the right thing. It's worth the price of a CD at least.

  13. Re:Not that great. on The Video Game Pianist · · Score: 2, Informative

    Check out the whole site. There's a video of him plaing Lennon's "Imagine" facing away from the piano with arms stretched behind his back, there are mp3s of him playing more traditional fare alongside the game tunes... this guy is damn talented.

  14. Re:Send money, quick! on The Video Game Pianist · · Score: 1

    How many really talented folks are still paying out-of-pocket to put their own mp3s up while the general public is happily making the latest "Idol" drones rich? The least we could do is throw him a few bucks to compensate for his iminent slashdotting.

  15. You've got to hand it to the guy... on The Video Game Pianist · · Score: 2, Funny

    Not everyone could link to videos of themselves on muchosucko or ebaumsworld with such dignity.

  16. Just for reference: on David Tennant Cast as New Doctor Who · · Score: 4, Informative

    David Tennant turns 34 on Monday. When they each began playing the Doctor: Chris Eccleston was 40, Paul McGann was 37, Sylvester McCoy was 44, Colin Baker was 41, Peter Davison was 30, Tom Baker was 40, Jon Pertwee was 51, Patrick Troughton was 46, and William Hartnell was 55.

  17. Re:Has anyone else seen one of these things IRL? on FBI Cracks Down on Piracy of Obsolete Game · · Score: 1

    You can do just that here.

  18. Re:The Biggest Surprise of all... on Games Losing Their Voices · · Score: 1

    Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president's daughter on this, the day of my daughter's wedding?

  19. Re:Recursive links ahoy. on Gaming As Image Statement · · Score: 1

    So that's the current generation's answer to when we used to blow dust out of our NES cartridges? I approve.

  20. Re:Huh? on Animaniacs Video Game In The Works · · Score: 1

    The only way they can win with this, hoever good (stop laughing and let me be optimistic, dammit!) they make the game, is to aim it toward the 20somethings who grew up with the cartoon rather than the kids of today. Animaniacs and Pinky & The Brain have the potential to be really good games if done well, but if this is dumbed down for the kiddies it'll be miserable.

  21. I'm on the edge of my seat... on Masters of Doom Movie In The Works · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for the inevitable sequel on the making of Daikatana.

  22. When it comes out... on Doom Movie Pushed Back to October · · Score: 1

    will you be able to swap in your own bitmaps in place of the actors?

  23. Re:Bring back Paul McGann on BBC Apologizes To Who Star · · Score: 1

    Big Finish brought him back a while ago, there are a few years' worth of quality McGann stories out there and it's still ongoing. Each one of those have better stories than the movie, and McGann has really grown in the role.

  24. Suicide Girls? on Classic Games Art Gallery · · Score: 1

    Are those so-called "Suicide Girls" still around? You'd think they'd have gotten on with it already.

  25. Mod parent up! on Hitchhiker's Movie is Bad, says Adams Biographer · · Score: 1

    That's probably the best post ever in this whole sort of general mishmash of debate over this movie. If I had karma I'd mod you up.
