  1. Re:Not a bad list but. on The Ten Most Important Games · · Score: 1

    That just means you didn't make it very far. By the time you are into the different books, it gets VERY difficult.

    You really need to know how to think outside the box for some of the puzzles.

  2. Hoth on GDC: LucasArts and The Force Unleashed · · Score: 1

    As long as we don't have to relive Hoth again, I'll be happy.

    Hoth Adventure XII: Remember those droids you saw in the background? And that guy? This is their story.

  3. Re:Niche marketing? on Are Exclusive Games GameStop's Secret Weapon? · · Score: 1

    I went looking for Crackdown last night. I went to two Gamestops and got the same response "If you didn't pre-order it, we are sold out. You should have pre-ordered" Way to lose a sale guys. Went to Circuit City and they had stacks of the game available.

    Perhaps GameStop could start turning a profit and making money if they actually stock games.

  4. Re:I know ! I know ! on Where the PS3 Stands Now · · Score: 1

    $1200 Per unit! Atleast according to Jack Tretton.

  5. The Dig Anyone? on NASA Proposes Manned Asteroid Mission · · Score: 1

    Can we get Robert Patrick to be the lead commander of the mission? Although I did hate that one puzzle with the turtle bones...

  6. Re:Oh great... on How To Make a Green Lantern Ring · · Score: 1

    Thunderbird Supply should have what you need. Didn't need to google as they are my silver provider for chain maille projects. Atleast they were before the price of Silver jacked it self up.

  7. Re:Maybe Not on What Makes The DS So Popular? · · Score: 1

    First of all, the current school aged generation is so about showing off technology at every turn. But perhaps since you are in the wooly wild north you don't notice this.

    How many people know someone that has a cell phone, an iPod(or iPodlike device), a DS/PSP and is under the age of 18? I know of atleast 5 or 6 kids like these. But of course since we are Americans we HAVE to flaunt technology to make up for our lack of education... Right?

  8. Re:So Long on 35mm - One Step Closer to the End · · Score: 1

    Just switch to Fujipan 400. You will thank your self with a wider range of contrast and a much nicer looking negative(Not to mention slightly cheaper if bought online)

  9. Voodoo 5 on NVIDIA and Dell Display Quad-SLI System · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Is anyone else reminded of the Voodoo 5 with the size of this thing?

  10. Re:The PROBLEM with American comics is... on Marvel Gets Cash to do 10 Films · · Score: 1

    Their(and Barnes and Noble's) manga section is larger because instead of getting in 1 copy of a trade they get in 3-6 copies of any given manga.

    If you were to take all the regular comic trades we have(I work at a B&N) and multiple it by 2-3 it would easily equal or surpass the ammount of manga we have.

  11. Re:Grim Fandango on 10 Next-Generation Franchise Comebacks · · Score: 1

    While I would love to see Manny return, WHY THE HELL IS EVERYONE SUGGESTING SEQUELS? Jesus H. Christ people the original games were good, great even. Why ruin them with sequels...

  12. Jack Thompson on Video Games in The Classroom Case Studies · · Score: 1

    If Jack Thompson has his way Sims 2 won't be in any classroom or any stores any time soon. Of course, this could be used as ammunition against Jack's case.

  13. Possible Theory on Tapwave Closes its Doors · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My theory is that it tried to go toe to toe with Nintendo and the GBA. Sure it had the whole touch screen thing before the DS but you just don't mess with the Gameboy.

    Maybe they should have consulted with the makers of the NeoGeo Pocket, Wonderswan, GP32, Atari Lynx, Game Gear, Nomad and various others on how to try to tackle the Gameboy.

  14. Re:Wow, people are fools on Grandma Sues Over Hot Coffee Mod · · Score: 1

    If her grandchild did access the part in the game couldn't Rockstar sue her under the DMCA for having a modchip and using it?

  15. Re:WoW now shut down indefinitely until bug is fix on World of Warcraft Duping Bug Found · · Score: 1

    You obviously haven't been following WoW since the begining. When they had a 36 hour down time on all servers we were credited that day on our accounts. If there is a problem that needs to be fixed, Blizzard typically doesn't care if they have to take things down for 36-48 hours.

    This is something that could seriously affect the game world. If it's not fixed properly people will equate WoW to Shadowbane(Paging Godwin!)

  16. Re:Spoilers! on Harry Potter's 'Half Blood Prince' Leaked · · Score: 1

    The simple solution to this is steal every copy. Leave no evidence that one copy was taken!

  17. Re:It's alive! (Unlike Dead Cousin Ted) on The Making of Maniac Mansion · · Score: 3, Informative

    DosBox is actually a bit heartier when it comes to SCUMM games. SCUMMVM has problems with games like Full Throttle(only 75 percent according to their website) but DosBox played it 100 percent perfectally.

  18. Bluetooth Profile on Linux-based Bluetooth Robot · · Score: 0

    Does anyone know what profile(s) this uses to communicate with the phone? I would think atleast OBEX or OPP... Probably means that Motorola v710 owners are SOL.

  19. Re:Somewhere A Nerd Cries into his Beer. on Ask mc chris · · Score: 0

    There's this wonderful thing called the internet and the ability to download tv shows happens to be a feature of said internet. Since you apparently already have the internet(which is obvious because of your post) you can probably also use google and other search engines to find info on said tv shows and even where to get copies of them.

    Some nerd you are. Oh and isn't an Adz an ancient wood planeing tool?

  20. Re:I have one. on Ask mc chris · · Score: 0

    I can answer this one. Went to the Hartford show and his set list was pretty much from all three albums. He did 11 songs in total.

    1 mcchrisownz 2 the tussin 3 ten year old 4 toothpickspliffs remix 5 stop time 6 geek 7 white kids love hip hop 8 robotdog 9 tractorbeam 10 mynameis 11 fette's vette

    Basically a good mix between new and old stuff.

  21. Somewhere A Nerd Cries into his Beer. on Ask mc chris · · Score: 0

    After reading through some of the current threads I have to say one thing... Slashdot nerds are a different type of nerd than the rest of us. I've known about mc chris for well over 4 years now. Of course most slashdot geeks would never dream about watching something like Adult Swim(where his songs debuted), It's probably too low brow for them.

    But anyways, Keep on making music mc and plan some more shows in NJ!
