  1. Mario Text Adventure? on New Cube controller · · Score: 5, Funny
    I'm looking forward to a text adventure for the GameCube!

    Mario is standing in front of a pipe.
    > Jump inside pipe
    You can't reach it!
    > Walk east
    You've reached a dead end.
    > Walk south
    Mario fell off the platform! Play again?
    > q
    Goodbye!

  2. Daft Punk on Ghost in the Shell 2, Matrix Revisted, Daft Punk · · Score: 3, Troll
    The French duo known as Daft Punk are well known throughout Europe for their amazing videos. They put out a DVD titled "D.A.F.T." containing all four videos from their first album, "Homework." You might want to check it out if you like their style... The disc even has commentary tracks and behind-the-scenes documentaries for each video... very cool stuff!

    BTW: The latest GAP ads are just a rip-off of the video for "Around the World" - directed by the great Michel Gondry.

    Cheers,

  3. Debian is okay for newbies, too! on What's A Good Starter Linux distro? · · Score: 1

    Although Mandrake, RedHat and other distros might simplify the installation process, I still think that Debian GNU/Linux is the way to go. And I've never been too fond of RPM's either... It seems like the other distros are trying to turn Linux into something it is not, in order not to scare away users coming from Windows.

    Before attempting an installation, I think that new users should get a good book and spend some time familiarizing themselves with the OS.

    Booting off a CD-Rom with the latest Mandrake distro and letting it do all the work might sound easier than reading a book (or a bunch of HOWTO's), but I have found that you will get much further by actually knowing what you're doing... ;)

    Oh and apt-get is the best thing since sliced bread!

    Cheers.

  4. Re:Was it really first? on Prodigy "Classic," We're Going to Miss You · · Score: 1


    PC-Link was just another name and interface for AOL for a while, the software came with the Deskmate OS on Tandy machines. AOL was also known as Promenade to Mac users at that time...
