  1. Re:"Kiddie" System on GameCube Hits the Street · · Score: 1

    According to IGN Cube and GameSpot the Resident Evil (Biohazard in Japan) series from Capcom will be EXCLUSIVE to the Nintendo GameCube. I doubt that ANYONE can call Resident Evil a "kiddie" game.

  2. Re:The Twin Towers should NOT have collapsed!!!... on U.S. Attack -- More Updates · · Score: 1

    I have heard that there were secondary explosions that caused the collapse of the towers. Reports from the street say that they were heard seconds before the collapses. I don't know if they were caused by the plane crashes, or if they were secondary terrorist attacks.

    At this point, the cause of the problems don't matter. What is important now is that everyone bands together and does whatever is possible to help.

  3. Here's the EBay link on The Destructobot For The Man With Everything · · Score: 1

    http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem& item=1186599868 They're looking for an opening bid of $25,000. I'm sure they'll get it too.

  4. Re:There is no sequel. on Matrix Sequel Delayed to 2003 · · Score: 1

    *trying to realize there is no sequel*

    Ok I've got it. There is no sequel. I am waiting for myself...

    Why am I so damn slow? Quite frankly, I don't think that I worth waiting for until 2003.

  5. Actual Launch Figures on Nintendo Announces Gamecube Launch Numbers · · Score: 3

    Not all 1.1 million units are launch units. 800,000 are for the launch, while the other 300K are for the rest of the month. You can see those details at http://cube.ign.com/news/37001.html. It's nice to see that Nintendo learned from Sony's mistake last year.

  6. Every team should have one. on Pentium Throws a Fastball · · Score: 1

    I heard about this machine right after spring training. The article specifically mentions the Cleveland Indians as having used the machine. Marty Cordova, an outfielder for the Indians, was a significant user of the machine before and after practice, and he attributes the machine to helping him get back into his prior form. With the help of the extra batting practive from this machine he was able to raise his batting average by 93 points so far over last year.

    What I don't understand is why every major league team doesn't have one of these machines. Why will they pay a player $20 Million per season, but won't invest in a $200 K machine that will help make EVERY one of their players better?

  7. Hemos... on U.S. Supreme Court Issues Election Ruling · · Score: 1

    Clearly, this does NOT mean that GW has ceded more power to the federal government. What it does show is that the Florida Supreme Court has acted outside of the law. I think its high time that Gore understands that he has LOST the count, LOST the machine recount on election night, LOST the next machine recount, LOST the absentee count, and LOST the hand recount. George W. Bush has been President-Elect since November 7th, no matter how much the media in this country and the liberals in this country don't like it.

  8. Character assassination on Politics, Assassination, and Debates · · Score: 1

    Is it really too much to believe that every great once in a while the liberal left, otherwise known as the United States media, could take a break from bashing anything even remotely conservative, to actually report the lies and scandals of the current administration? If a conservative president had done anything remotely like what Clinton has done he would have been removed from office. Lying multiple times under oath, accepting illegal campaign contributions, hiding/shredding evidence that had already been subpoened, and that's just the beginning. If Gore wants to be a mangler of the truth and a law breaker, he certainly has learned from the best.

  9. Following this eBay precedent on Ebay Seeks Federal Assistance In Banning User · · Score: 1

    I would like to ban (i.e. get a restraining order against) this cadre of random ninja monkeys that keep following me around. Specifically I would like them to stop following me to /. so that I may read in peace.

  10. Re:another review on Daikatana Sucks: It's Official · · Score: 3

    I suppose this is flame bait, but here goes anyway. I played the demo and *gasp* I liked it. I'm tired of seeing all the sci fi first person shooters, and when I played the first level of Daikatana I thought it was just going to be another of those. To my surprise it wasn't. Sure it had sci fi elements, but I was pleasantly surprised that it had dark ages mythology/fantasy in there also. I thought that the graphics were good and the shading/textures were good also. I thought that the wide selection of weapons were just as good, and I thought better than any other fps that I had played. To each his own though.
