  1. Re:This is fantastic news! on Breakthrough Portends Cure For the Common Cold · · Score: 1

    Like convincing annoying people in IRC that hitting Alt-F4 does something amazing.

  2. Demos on Too Human Meets Mediocre Reviews · · Score: 1

    I was really looking forward to this game until I played the demo. Thank god for demos.

  3. Re:Is it me on I Will Derive · · Score: 1

    If only it sounded like David Wayne from Metal Church.

  4. Re:nerd credentials? on The Secret History of Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Mmm; I love The Prisoner. Only one of my coworkers "gets it" when I say any of that.

  5. Re:They should change the name on NES Nudity Galore - The JUSTIN BAILEY Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Looks like an ASCII version of "the shocker" to me.

    I could be wrong in my interpretation, however.

  6. Re:They should change the name on NES Nudity Galore - The JUSTIN BAILEY Conspiracy · · Score: 1

    Haha; how did this not get modded hilarious?

  7. Re:This won't help the xbox on Microsoft To Drop HD DVD · · Score: 1

    I find no issue with DVD playback on my 360- it is the main DVD player (I use the HD-DVD drive so my internal drive only sees gaming use) for my LCD HDTV.

  8. Re:FUD on Vista SP1 Update Locks Out Some Users · · Score: 1

    So... does SP1 disable all network interfaces and removable devices?

  9. Re:All I read was... on Microsoft Battles Vista Perception With Prizes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Free shirt for OEM system builders.

  10. Re:9% cpopy speed-up noticable? on PC World Tests Final Version of Vista SP1 · · Score: 1

    I can live with a couple seconds when deleting something, but trying to transfer 200GB of data from an XP machine to Vista and having it say, "ETA 32000 days" gets me even worse. I get an average of 1mbps.

  11. Re:FUD brakes please! on Microsoft Installs New Software Without Permission · · Score: 1

    You beat me to it- just setting something to 'off' isn't the best way to be sure. Gotta disable the service altogether.

  12. Re:Damn good game, but... on Bioshock Ships 1.5 Million, Sequels Likely · · Score: 1

    I'm having a hard time getting into Bioshock completely and I never really liked SS2. I always preferred SS1 and I'd love a port or "spiritual successor" to /it/. Nothing like some good cyborg killins with the flechette rifle.

  13. Re:DRM strikes again? on Playing Music Slows Vista Network Performance? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was thinking William Shatner.

  14. Re:Sounds Familiar.... on 8 Million Year Old Bacteria Thaws, Lives · · Score: 1

    The Thing also crashed onto our planet via a spaceship...

  15. Think of the mods! on The Aftermath of QuakeCon · · Score: 1

    Great- Quake 3 without mods. Just what I wanted...

  16. LJ on Multiple Sites Down In SF Power Outage · · Score: 1

    Well, that explains why I haven't been able to access LiveJournal for the past hours. Good thing I read Slashdot...

  17. SH2 on 360 Back-Compat Updated Again · · Score: 1

    All I can say is it's about time Silent Hill is BC. I can't wait to pick it up.

  18. Tasty. on College Librarians Urged To Play Video Games · · Score: 1

    As if librarians weren't hot enough- let's make them play video games. Mmm.

  19. Re:Terraforming... on Scientist Calls Mars a Terraforming Target · · Score: 1

    The Mars Underground http://imdb.com/title/tt0437325/.

  20. Re:Suggestion on Microsoft Aims to Boost the 360's Family Appeal · · Score: 1

    I love that commercial. Sure, it didn't make me want to go out and buy a PS3, but I sure hit Youtube and watched the commercial quite a bit.

  21. Screamers on "Bear" Robot to Rescue Wounded Troops · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you guys, but as soon as I heard teddy bear + robot, I immediately thought of Screamers (http://imdb.com/title/tt0114367/).

  22. Re:Sorry Niven; on Halo Science - Ringworlds and Plasma Weapons · · Score: 1

    Snippet from http://www.mania.com/41212.html :
    "Based on Larry Niven's RINGWORLD series of novels, a four-hour mini-series is in development. In the future four explorers crash on an artificial structure in deep space, a mammoth ring that circles a distant star."

    I've been waiting for years- I guess we'll see if it ever comes to fruition.

  23. MC vs MW? on Call of Duty 4 Announced · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the summary say "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare" and not "Modern Combat?" Battlefield 2 is "Modern Combat" and TFA says "Modern Warfare."

  24. Re:Yep. on Gifted Children Find Heavy Metal Comforting · · Score: 1

    Me too!

    I went from Metallica in high school to Symphony X, Dream Theater, Jag Panzer, Iced Earth, etc.

  25. Hell? on Doom Movie Trailer Released · · Score: 1

    If I don't see some Hell, I am going to be disappointed. I mean- what is Doom without Hell?
