  1. Anymore room in here... on World's First Jail Sentence for BitTorrent Piracy · · Score: 0, Redundant

    For bad taste jokes. I don't think there are enough yet, but I Must Be New Here (TM).

  2. Anyone remember Gamepro TV? on Pro Gaming Comes to Network TV · · Score: 1

    http://www.nesplayer.com/television/gamepro_files/ gptv.htm

    Growing up, I lived in North Central Indiana, and never got any cool shows. I was lucky enough to get a Chicago station (WGN) that aired G.I. Joe, M.A.S.K., and The Transformers. As well as The Bozo Show, but that's another story. I wanted desperately to be able to see Gamepro TV. It might have sucked, but I had no way of knowing. Sometimes I miss the olden days where we had to wait for magazines to find out what's new in gaming.

  3. I thought... on EA Forms Wii-Centric Studio · · Score: 2, Insightful
    I was originally going to say that I thought Ubisoft was aiming for number two, but that was meant as number two behind EA.

    Either way, good to see companies fighting over making games for the Wii.

  4. Web 0.1 on Polonium-210 Available Through Mail Order · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen a website like that since the mid 90's.

  5. Re:WTF is going on? on Are IT Job Titles Getting Out of Control? · · Score: 1

    Wait, so we're not supposed to reply to this? Ok, I won't then.

  6. Re:How does this work on PS3 Lines Already Forming In America · · Score: 1

    Mob Rule takes over. I waited for 12 hours at circuit city in Chicago, was third in line. There were 9 systems total, 6 360's and 3 core units. At about 1 am, a friend of the two guys behind me showed up. There were about 12 people in line at this time. At 9am when the manager arrived and started handing out tickets, the 10th place guy (1st to not get one) started complaining about that guy who showed up at 1am and sat with his friends in 4th and 5th place. The manager asked all of us if that was true, we all agreed. So he told the latecomer sorry and gave the 10th place guy the last ticket. I'm pretty sure had the manager not cared, a skirmish would have broken out (10th place guy had a friend too, and my money would have been on them). Sorry about typing "guy" so much, because as we all know, that's all there were.

  7. Re:I agree.. up to a point... on Microsoft Explains the Lumines Live! Mess · · Score: 1
    Microsoft: Ok, you can sell it, but not for an amount that is divisable by the pre-set Microsoft Points we sell on Live.

  8. Re:what if problems arise? on 7-9 Million Wiis by 2007? · · Score: 1

    Because this isn't brand new technology, just improved existing. Don't get me wrong, i'd follow Nintendo into hell. But if it is indeed just a suped up gamecube, how many problems could their be?

  9. Re:before people complain on The Wii Takes NYC · · Score: 2, Informative

    Another way to look at the $250 price. The extra 50 dollars is a lifetime of free "Live" service for the Wii, instead of just a year. Oh, and the North America part of www.wii.com is up now.

  10. Re:So much is right, they can't go wrong.. can the on Wii to Launch Nov. 19th for $250 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I totally agree with you. Another way to look at the $250 price. The extra 50 dollars is a lifetime of free "Live" for the Wii, instead of just a year.

  11. Great... on Cisco Eyeing Tivo/Nintendo for Buyout? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Am going to have to get another CCNA (Certified Cicso Nintendo Administrator) certification.

  12. After 90 days, who cares about warranty. on Xbox 360 Hardware Disassembled and Analyzed · · Score: 1

    I am guessing that, like most electronics, the warranty for this console is only 90 days. After that, what's it matter if you rip the stickers off.

  13. Your missing the point. on Mac OS X x86 Put To The Test · · Score: 1

    Will it be possible to put Windows XP or Vista on Apple's new x86 hardware?

  14. Two Words.... Light Saber on Nintendo Revolution Controller Revealed · · Score: 4, Interesting

    HELL. YES. I just watched the video off of IGN's website, in one part, there was a guy using it as a sword. You could hear them clang. This has to happen, George, I hope your up late like me watching this because this has to happen.

  15. Re:Mr. President, Dr. Evil is on the line... on Oregon Is Growing A Mystery Bulge · · Score: 2, Funny

    You had me until "trillion fafillion dollahs". Sorry, sounded like a something a child would say, you big stinky poop head.

  16. Re:VOIP to landline not new? on Microsoft to Launch "Skype Killer" · · Score: 1

    Dialpad.com is what you are thinking of. Yea, sound was nice, slight delay. My friend would call me from Phoenix (I was in IN). Good to get points across, but not the greatest for long (see hours) conversations.

  17. Re:A coworker injured his penis. on 10 Computer Mishaps · · Score: 1

    I have heard this story like a decade ago, but it was about a guy that worked in a magnet factory and tried to take a couple home in his pockets.

  18. 60 for free MMORPG's would be sweet on Xbox 360 for $300 · · Score: 1

    I would gladly pay 60 dollars for a MMORPG if I didn't have to pay monthly fees.

  19. Great... more Nintendo Revolution rumors on View-Dependent Stereoscopic Projection · · Score: 1

    Here we go again with, most likely, another round of Revolution speculations.

    um.... Blade Runner was about clones.....so....yea...not the same.

  22. Re:Blatant Example of Microsoft Monopoly on Annual Cost of Microsoft Monopoly: $10 Billion · · Score: 1

    Why don't you just buy the cheaper one, format the drive, and install what you want (should it not be WinXP).

  23. Genuine??? on AMD Alleges Intel Compilers Create Slower AMD Code · · Score: 2, Funny
    "If the program detects a "Genuine Intel" microprocessor.... if the program detects an "Authentic AMD" microprocessor..."

    Is there some big counterfeit Processor ring I don't know about? What if the program detects a non-genuine Intel/AMD?

    So the book you pay for has a chapter pointing to websites with free information? Brilliant!!! I am gonna write a book filled with web sites that tell you how to write books filled with web sites.
