  1. Re:Except... on Square Enix Considers Revolution Support · · Score: 1

    except that it said "met in real life"...

  2. Re:even worse on Dance Dance Revolution Exercise Study · · Score: 1

    That's really awesome man! OK I'm done I just needed to say that.

  3. Re:Have you ever tried to eat healthy? on Dance Dance Revolution Exercise Study · · Score: 1

    Wendy's is more expernsive than McDonald's...

  4. Re:and Jerry Lewis is a genius !!!! on Dance Dance Revolution Exercise Study · · Score: 1

    How can something be rock-hard and way too chewy at the same time?

  5. Re:bad ideas for launch on PSP Not A Sellout Hit · · Score: 1

    Seems to me that the games are much better, just not as pretty in your opinion. You must not like old systems or emulators either. Wait a minute...you're just a casual gamer with no idea what he's talking about.

  6. Re:IGN's history department on Next Zelda Game Examined · · Score: 1

    Most definately had a fishing game to the north of the main town.

  7. Re:"English" on "English" Not Threatened By Webspeak · · Score: 1, Insightful

    English is most definately a real language albeit an extremely complicated and unorganized one. It seems there is no other requirements to be an "English" word other than a certain amount of the population has to recognize it. This is in stark contrast to other languages such as French where new words undergo much scrutiny before being admitted into the language. Languages such as Latin have strict guidelines that most words seem to follow while English has so many exceptions it's not even funny.

  8. WTF? on Google Begins Removing AFP From Google News · · Score: 0

    What the flip?!?! It seems like it would be good publicity for their site. It's not like Google is claiming rights to the news or anything.

  9. Re:i don't get why the DS is so popular on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    Seems to me the GameBoy's have been very popular in the past so why would anyone want anything less "GameBoy-like"? And the touch screen is great for a lot of games like Mario 64 and Metroid Hunters...

  10. Re:Sony have an advantage on PSP And DS Duke It Out · · Score: 1

    Nintendo has been around for more than 100 years, has much better in-house games (Mario, Zelda, Metroid), and I'd venture to say that they put quite a bit more money and effort into their games than Sony.

  11. Re:I'll take a stab at it on Playstation 3 Development Underway · · Score: 1

    Personally I think the name "XBox" is bland and unoriginal. Like Microsoft couldn't think of anything better so they were like "hey X is a cool letter and it is a box...so XBOX!"

  12. Re:I cant Wait!! on E3 Expo Space Sells Out · · Score: 1

    What are you saying is the maybe? If you are referring to the Revolution then I thought it had already been confirmed...

  13. Re:Mind over matter. on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    Seems to me you just don't like to be wrong...but that is just an opinion.

    Also some of the greatest philosophers were also the greatest scientists.

  14. Re:My Quickbrain trumps your assbrain on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    The pain originates in the brain. The impulse doesn't. Get your facts straight.

  15. Re:Mind over matter. on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard any rational thought trying to explain the origination of matter.

  16. Mind over matter. on 13 Things That Do Not Make Sense · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The brain is a very powerful thing. I don't know what is so hard to believe. Pain originates in the brain so it isn't that hard to believe that you can deceive it.

  17. Re:No more than other media... on Illinois Videogame Law Moves Forward · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    If you want a funny take on your philosophy on how to succeed then look at my site. Kind of coincidental. But I agree with you. I plan to start my own company. It gives you much more freedom to do what you think is necessary and there is no one to hold you back.

  18. No more than other media... on Illinois Videogame Law Moves Forward · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Seems to me video games should not be regulated any more than movies or music. If children playing mature video games is a problem then it is their parents' problem not the government's.

  19. That's cool... on Literate Gaming Analysis · · Score: 0

    Well I will read most anything if it has to do with video games. If it is something that no one else has done then that is one more reason to read it. I hope they succeed in doing whatever it is that they are trying to accomplish.

  20. Advertisement? on Stock Market for Geek Culture · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Stock market games have been around for quite some time. It seems that all they did was limit it to tech stocks therefore reducing the amount of enjoyment and making it easier. Then they slap a fancy name on it and announce it at some convention to get hype. Seems to me it is just one big advertisement for Yahoo and everyone else involved.

  21. Re:Commentary? on The Nintendo Keynote In Depth · · Score: 1

    I think he was referring to the handheld itself not the games. I don't know if a handheld has sold 20M+ or not though.

  22. Re:OT: Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    Only in your opinion...I guarantee most would disagree.

  23. Re:OT: Super Smash Brothers on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    Just a question...did you play anyone that is good? If you did I think you would understand the complexity. No matter what fighting game...Tekken, Mortal Kombat or any others...any unexperienced n00b can just mash some buttons and beat even the most experienced player. I know because I've done it. In Smash Bros. this just doesn't happen. I don't think there is anyone that just started playing can beat someone that had the game for years and still beat him...unless he is the God of video games.

  24. Re:too little, too late on Star Wars Episode 3 PG-13? · · Score: 1

    Sorry for the typo the love scenes killed me.

  25. Re:I miss the days... on Nintendo's Next Console Revolution Will Have WiFi · · Score: 1

    Seems the GameCube is my favorite controller as well. The only people that don't like it are the ones that got too used to the PS2 controller. Nintendo designs their controllers around their games. Everyone else designs there games around their controllers. Seems everyone else is a little mixed up.
