  1. Re:ews? on 12 Steps To Regain Industry Confidence · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Tell that to Take-Two's shareholders.

  2. The elephant in the room on Come the Revolution · · Score: 5, Funny
    Titles such as Black, TOCA Race Driver 3 and FIFA Street 2 should ensure the Xbox and PlayStation 2 remain comfortable under consumers' TV sets for the rest of the year. At least, that's the case for the two leaders of the pack - but a browse around retail outlets will reveal little in the way of software or hardware support for Nintendo's GameCube.
    Seems like Nintendo had some kind of game coming in the fall though...jeez, what was it called? The Legend of something or other.
  3. Launch title? on Wanted Revolution Downloads, Nine N64 Titles · · Score: 2, Informative

    The N64 had two launch titles: Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64.

  4. "Despite"? on Kama Sutra Worm Hits Softly · · Score: 2, Informative

    Despite warnings, or BECAUSE of them? The Houston Chronicle thinks the latter, and I'm inclined to agree.

  5. How much did Messiah pay IGN for this review? on Reincarnating the NES · · Score: 1

    Did the people at IGN even put a NEX side-by-side with an original NES?! I bought a NEX. It's a gorgeous system, it just happens not to work very well. Colors are off, sound is off, and quite a number of games don't work at all. Within short order I'd shelved it and reconnected my original NES (with a newly replaced 72-pin connector). Great wireless controllers though.

  6. Little from column A, little from column B on Majoring in Video Game Design · · Score: 1
    Are video game design majors just slackers, or are they pursuing a lucrative and legitimate career?
    The ones who switch to CIS after the first year are slackers. The ones who graduate are pursuing a legitimate career. In very few cases will that career be lucrative.
  7. Don't feed the troll. on Jack Thompson vs Amazon? · · Score: 1

    I have a question.

    Why are we still talking about Jack Thompson?

    Shouldn't we know better than to feed trolls?

    ...I guess that's actually two questions.

  8. Curiouser and curiouser... on Bad Day To Be Sony · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why, Microsoft is fighting this? Wow! Suddenly I find myself liking Microsoft much better than Sony! ... ... ...Say, what's this I hear about a major Microsoft product launch in a field dominated by Sony?

  9. Dear God. on MS To Launch Internet Versions of Office And Windows · · Score: 1

    I work in a computer store. On a daily basis, I deal with customers who do not know the difference between Windows and Office. "Do you guys have XP?" Or, worse, "Do you guys have Microsoft?" I swear to God the next time somebody asks that I'm going to pull a Microsoft mouse off the shelf. And now Microsoft is putting up a Web suite of IM, E-Mail, and blogging tools and calling it Windows? Oh, swell, guys. There's no better marketing than confusing your customers.

  10. Re:holy moly on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    How in the hell has this been modded to 4 as insightful? It's full of so many spelling, grammatical, and factual errors that it can't possibly be anything but trolling.

  11. Re:Wow! What a question to ask on Slashdot... on Hackers, Spelling, and Grammar? · · Score: 1

    Where I said 'It does seem to break the general rule of "an apostrophe indicates possession"', I should have written 'It does seem to break the general rule where possession is indicated with an apostrophe'.

    No, you shouldn't have, because that's passive voice.
