  1. Special hardware my ass on Prepping For The 360 · · Score: 1

    For me, it's just a cable with a headphone jack on one end and standard red&white audio connections on the other. Now if it's streaming music to custom playlists in games, oh wait, I can just turn down the music in the game and turn up my music. ...

    So uh... what was my point?

  2. Zonk, what are you doing? on PS3 Industry Leader In 2007? · · Score: 1

    It's "News for Nerds." Enough of these retarded speculation stories.

  3. Harcore plain jumpers on Gaming Fanatics Show Hallmarks of Drug Addiction · · Score: 1

    Naturally I was a bit skeptical regarding the danger and excitement of jumping on a flat surface but when I slipped and got a concussion, boy, was I hooked.

  4. Re:Badly in need of a remake on Old School Gameplay Collides With Modern Graphics · · Score: 1

    You forgot System Shock. SS2 is kick ass but the original deserves a remake so much more.

  5. Re:From the makers of Windows PC's on Sony Music CD's Contain Mac DRM Software Too · · Score: 1

    Wait, VAIO? People buy those miracle turd machines?

  6. Why? on Revolution Least Expensive Next-Gen Console · · Score: 1

    Frankly, when games are so damn fun, the only way I could give a damn about the graphics is if make my eyes FUCKING BLEED or if it has below 20 FPS. Shit dude, that's a nice TV but meh? I'm sorry you feel HD is so important that you'd shun Nintendo despite apparently enjoying their games.

    So, go get the X360 or PS3. Enjoy your shiny, crisp graphics from games you've already played. Generic FPS on the X360? YAY. Shiny car simulator on the PS3? YAY. Hopefully, I'll be playing Mario Kart 64 with decent framerates online.

  7. Re:Look at the last part on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Woo hoo! Power to the pseudo-scientists! Now I can put that phrenology degree to good use.

  8. Re:Not surprising on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 1

    Slimmest scientific backing?

    Gee, that's far more than I thought!

  9. HA! on Industry Leaders Frustrated With Game Culture · · Score: 1

    ZING!

    Although to be fair, wasn't he out of the loop and/or not really in charge? IIRC, it was someone by the name of Harvey Smith who douched up DEIW.

  10. Rats! on How Bad Will The 360 Shortage Be? · · Score: 1

    I should have pre-ordered long ago so I could be a douche and sell it on eBay!

  11. Re:I miss SEGA on XBOX 360=Dreamcast 2.0? · · Score: 1

    Too much running, not enough jumping. That and magic mushrooms.

    If I wanted speed, there was always Unirally.

    Nowadays I got F-Zero GX. If only Sega and Nintendo got together for the new Smash Bros game...

  12. Re:As a record store owner. on New Bill Threatens to Plug "Analog Hole" · · Score: 1

    They have fought the War on Drugs with skill, so why not the War on Piracy?

    So... War on Drugs, eh? Have we won that yet?

    Anyway, that's a nice little sob story what with including the 1984 references. Too bad it sounds like some bunch of bullshit.

  13. Re:can't do it on Sony Says No To Central PS3 Online Service · · Score: 1

    Well if we're going by profits, Nintendo actually won then. They had about the same amount of GameCubes sold as the Xbox but since they aren't sold as a loss (oppose to PS2s and XBoxes), they profited on each sale until they hit $99. It's probably the same with the portables too.

  14. Googleporn.com on Google DVRs and TV Advertising · · Score: 1

    Mmm, google porn. Oh wait, they already got image search.

    Mmm, image search.

  15. Re:Downloadable demos on PC Gaming On The Comeback Trail · · Score: 1

    Not if you're on a slow 'net connection, or unwilling/frightened to click on advertisements and Slashdot stories because of the Spyware Boogeyman or something to that effect.

    So what are you doing at a computer then? CAREFUL. YOU MIGHT CATCH A COLD FROM YER EMAIL. I HEAR THEY HAV GERMS

  16. Re:If the CRT dies on Sony Profits Low, Halts CRT Production · · Score: 1

    I say hit the estate sales. Might be hard to find what you want but when you hit gold, oh is it ever so sweet.

    A friend of mine managed to snag a 19" viewable CRT beast for $5. I just hope my table doesn't break.

  17. Original franchises? on Spielberg and Electronic Arts Partner Up · · Score: 1

    What, like Dark Angel?

    (psst, mod me funny.)

  18. Re:Interesting tidbits from the article on EA's Conquest of Origin · · Score: 1

    Uh, maybe you could tell the kind people at The Escapist that WE CAN USE SCROLL BARS. It looks awfully nice a purdy but ffs, I'm not reading this out of a mag. I GOT A FUCKING MOUSEWHEEL. LET ME USE IT.

  19. Re:Too Human at Last! on 360 Launch Lineup And New Games · · Score: 1

    Too Human? More like Too Late, am i rite?

    Lessee now, PSX (as it was called back in the day), ???, GameCube, X360? Gee, I'm sure they had fun doing everything over and over again for each system and the new constraints/capabilities.

    AGHAHAHAHAHAHHAAH.

    Anyway, who's up for a round of Daikatana?

  20. Re:Not the only GoldenEye remake in town... on GoldenEye:Source · · Score: 1

    404ed, sir/madam/it.

  21. Not the only GoldenEye remake in town... on GoldenEye:Source · · Score: 1

    http://goldeneye.downclan.com/

    Nothing release yet but they are doing an amazing job recreating EVERYTHING.

  22. Re:Local Government on Sonic 'Lasers' to be Deployed in Hurricane Region · · Score: 1

    Wrong. Because of tax cuts, war costs, and various other huge expenditures sapped the funds. The Bush admin balked at costs and slashed them significantly.

    What was it, like 1 out of 3 LA Guardsmen are in Iraq along with their high water vehicles?

    Frankly, the feds should have been moving into place well before this disaster or at least putting personnel on standby and preparing to move in. But no, they didn't. Not for FOUR DAYS.

    Or how about Bush's little quip that no one expected the levees to be breached? Say that to my October 2004 Nation Geographic where in the first couple paragraphs it's practically word for word what happened. http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0410/featur e5/

  23. Re:right... on Plugin Lets Users Turn IE into Firefox · · Score: 1

    ...don't we all want a more secure Internet Explorer for our Windows-using friends as well?

    Isn't half the issues with IE related to MS's bungling of internet standards to lock webpage designers into Windows only standards?

  24. Re:How about blaming Louisiana? on 9 Weeks to Pump Out New Orleans? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    4. One of the roles of government is doing what others can't do for themselves. The people in Louisiana, Mississippi, and all those along the Gulf Coast, can't clean help themselves. They are our countrymen, and they're in dire need. If you were a civilized individual with any ounce of decency, you'd recognize that.


    Call me crazy, but I think we can do better than put them all back into that sinkhole.

    Yes, it's a huge port and there's tons of fossil fuel resources that we do need. So let's cancel Operation Iraqi Freedom, bring our troops home, and put them to work using those billions upon billions upon billions that will be saved. Is it worth building and losing another Duck Tales style gold heap (insured damages are at, what, $36 billion?) every time they get a hurricane or the Mississippi floods? God damn it, if the money has to be spent, then let's spend it wisely.

  25. Re:New Revenue Streams, So To Speak... on Flash EULA Doesn't Fit the Times · · Score: 1

    Oh come on! This isn't trolling.

    If only I had mod points still....
