  1. Hah! on Wii Can't Replace Actual Exercise · · Score: 1

    Clearly, they aren't playing it right.

    The Wii was designed for the people who swing their arms from side to side trying to make mario jump.
    It's not designed for couch potatoes.

    If you're sitting down playing the Wii, or you're not getting into it and getting excited and involved, then no, of course you're not going to burn any calories you moron.

    Play Guitar Hero the way it was meant to be played. Over your head, jumping up and down on stage, scissor-kicking, etc. And then just for good measure, thrash your couch with the guitar controller afterwards (but be sure to hit the cushiony parts).

    THEN tell me how many calories you burn.

  2. Re:my safety on British Drivers Destroying Surveillance Cameras · · Score: 1

    You know what you guys should do?

    Throw a tea party.
    Wink, wink, nudge, nudge...

  3. Re:Integer overflows on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 1

    Well if the Universe was intelligently designed, that means they use Linux, and we should be safe for quite a while.

  4. Re:Caution: I am not a physicist. on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 1

    Precisely. I've always called it "Absolute Maximum Temperature" of course, because that doesn't sound STUPID, but then I'm not in charge of inventing useless scientific terms.

    I mean we are talking about the temperature at which each atom is moving at the speed of light, and even in the case of the most durable elements, you're going to see the atoms split before they get that hot.

  5. Re:Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? on Is There Such a Thing As Absolute Hot? · · Score: 1

    He's posting on Slashdot. THAT rules out the possibility of a threesome.

  6. What this means on Clinton Would Crack Down On Game Content · · Score: 1

    What this clearly means, since politicians cannot tell the truth, is that Hilary Clinton is the only democrat who will actually refrain from passing such legislation.

  7. Re:isn't democracy great? on FCC Ignores Public, Relaxes Media Ownership · · Score: 1

    Not for long.

    *cracks into the Dallas morning News*

    *replaces all instances of November 2nd with November 3rd*

  8. Re:Interesting development on Encryption Passphrase Protected by the 5th Amendment · · Score: 1

    Precisely. No access to computers that powerful.

  9. Re:I'm gonna fire up a bunch of VM's on Microsoft Giving Away Vista Ultimate, With a Catch · · Score: 1

    Stream?

    You're thinking of tubgirl.

    *shivers*

  10. You know what? on LittleBigPlanet Demo Not Coming This Year · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know what would save SONY?

    Making games for the Wii.

  11. Re:How much of Microsoft ... on Will Privacy Sell? · · Score: 1

    Apparently 0% because nobody force you to grammar.

  12. Re:Advertising... on Nintendo May Pull Wii Ads To Avoid Hype · · Score: 1

    Shhh!
    They might hear you. Do you want that kind of information getting out?

  13. Re:Every Suspicion? on Team Fortress 2 Stats Confirm Every Suspicion · · Score: 1

    Didn't you read the article? It confirms all of that!

  14. Re:It's actually not as hard as you think. on Russian Chatbot Passes Turing Test (Sort of) · · Score: 1

    Ever been to a brick and mortar friendly local game store?

    You'd see people respond the same way to books.

    But that's because these ARE the few strange people who respond that way. The test doesn't really mean much, it's targeting way too few people.

    What is remarkable is that it might be quite profitable.

  15. Re:Goodbye on CompUSA To Close All Stores · · Score: 1

    "If you wanted to know what 1994 felt like, all you had to do was wander into one of their stores. "

    is that opposed to walking out of the door into 1984?

  16. Emperor of the Fading Suns on Twelve Game Music Tracks Worth Keeping · · Score: 1

    If you get the opportunity, check out the soundtrack to Emperor of the Fading Suns. The Game CD can be put into a cd player and played just like any other, though the first cd track is the data track for the game.

    It's really incredible music and nothing like what you'd find in a typical game. if you like classical music, you'll love it. I just don't know of any websites to send you to.

  17. Re:I call it... Let's not pay people... on Crowdsourcing Software Development to the Masses · · Score: 1

    And it's worth it. :)

  18. Re:Hmmmm on Brain Changes When Viewing Violent Media · · Score: 1

    in criminal courts.

  19. Re:Good game on BioShock Backlash · · Score: 1

    Slightly above average was really impressive for a console fps.

    to be more frank, it would TAKE the second coming of Christ to break some of the molds in the gaming industry right now.

  20. Re:There's more to it than that. on Postal Service Surcharge Could Slash Netflix Profit · · Score: 1

    "...how badly they're getting nailed by Netflix." ...Can I rent a video of that?

  21. So... on The Contempt of Publishers for Game Reviewers · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is Brain Age 3 any good? they didn't say!

  22. Re:XP on Most In US Have False Sense of Online Security · · Score: 1

    Especially when the red light matches the desktop background so much better.

  23. Re:No miracles, no defying the laws of physics on Blast-Proof Fabric Resists Multiple Explosions · · Score: 1

    DUH.

    It doesn't matter how many people die of unnatural causes, you'll always be able to claim that.

  24. Re:In Other News on Most In US Have False Sense of Online Security · · Score: 2, Funny

    to be fair, around 50% of them actually are.

  25. Re:Hmph.. on Dell's World of Warcraft Laptop · · Score: 1

    The backfire effects from goblin engineering deal damage to you.

    The backfire from gnomish devices can kill you instantly. No damage.

    provided you have any bandages or potions or some other ability to heal yourself, you can survive any backfire from goblin engineering.
