  1. I have the first review on Dungeon Siege III Being Developed by Obsidian · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Innovative/rich storytelling. Lacks polish. Story-killing bugs will be corrected in a future patch. Expansion coming in 5-8 months.

    Not that I'm cynical.

  2. Re:What the hell, Australia? What the hell? on Australian Police Ask Facebook For Police Alarm Button · · Score: 1

    We moved to Hollywood because there clearly weren't enough unshaven thugs making historically inaccurate movies.

    When we got back to check our mail, conservatives were squatting in our homes and pawing through - sorry, banning - our pr0n.

  3. Re:That's impressive for "Extreme Gamers," but. . on Study Finds That "Extreme Gamers" Play 48 Hours a Week · · Score: 1

    I'd be curious to see how many hours NOOBS play.

  4. Re:Pfft yourself! on Study Finds That "Extreme Gamers" Play 48 Hours a Week · · Score: 5, Funny

    FYI, I chose to stop that raid schedule when I was struggling to wake up each morning....

    I chose to stop when I realised the smell I complained about to my landlord was me.

  5. Re:CSIRO are still good guys on CSIRO Sues US Carriers Over Wi-Fi Patent · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Normally I'm cynical about government, but the CSIRO do good work.

    They're a bunch of scientists who get left alone by the government because the Australian Government doesn't understand them well enough to interfere with them. Previously underfunded, this 'lazy billion' might actually cause the government to sit up and try and to pay attention.

  6. I'd love to see.... on Google Reportedly Ditching Windows · · Score: 5, Interesting

    .....if Microsoft employees can ditch Google.

    That will be the true test of Google's influence.

  7. Re:"Life" on The Life of a South Korean Pro Gamer · · Score: 1

    No way I'm wasting skill points on cleaning and laundry. I'm maxing out 'post-kill teabagging'.

  8. "Life" on The Life of a South Korean Pro Gamer · · Score: 5, Funny

    ....their entire daily routine consists of eating, cleaning, laundry and games

    It's like amateur gamers I know, except without the cleaning and laundry.

  9. I remember my college days... on UK Students Build Electric Car With 248-Mile Range · · Score: 1

    ....when me and some friends would get into our old beaten-up Radical SR8, pack some lithium-ion batteries and do the great American Road Trip in 248 mile bursts.

    I just gave you some of the future right there.

  10. Re:Oh c'mon on Cutting Through the 4G Hype · · Score: 1

    I hope Apple takes a shot at 'simplifying' the terminology.

    I really want an 'iG' capable iPhone.

  11. Re:Win-Win situation... on Bangladesh Blocks Facebook Over Muhammad Cartoons · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...or every Facebook server on the planet is vaporized in a hail of fast neutrons.

    *Ahem* and when that happens, how do you propose I like things and stalk my classmates? I'm not going back to the Stone Age of actually liking things and using Classmates.com

  12. Re:I, for one, completely agree with Pakistan. on Bangladesh Blocks Facebook Over Muhammad Cartoons · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think they're primarily concerned that Facebook has been shopping their prophet's details out to spammers.

  13. Lame Superpowers on A Genetically Engineered Fly That Can Smell Light · · Score: 1

    .....this is what happens when you let Grant Morrison reboot nature.

  14. Re:What's New? on "Serious Games" Industry Gains Traction · · Score: 1

    They can also have a detrimental effect. I'm afraid to open barrels now. It's either going to be explosives, ammunition or medical supplies.

  15. Re:Fun on "Serious Games" Industry Gains Traction · · Score: 1

    I'm sure marketing will tell us they're fun, the reviewers will follow whatever either IGN and Eurogamer say and then Penny Arcade will tell us that the concept is flawed - with the assistance of puppets.

  16. Re:Well, duh. This is news? on "Serious Games" Industry Gains Traction · · Score: 5, Funny

    You're right. We've had serious, realistic games for years. Just many of the situations haven't come up yet.

    But when the Zerg come, we'll be ready.

  17. Re:It's not really Black Ops... on Call of Duty: Black Ops Announced · · Score: 1

    Well, it's politically correct. Call of Duty: Shootin' Dark People for Oil was just the working title.

  18. Re:End of the historical shooters? on Call of Duty: Black Ops Announced · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how I'd feel about COD: Vietnam. But I have this exciting training sequence in mind where you play a congressman's son, playing poker and doing blow in the barracks of the Texas National Guard.

  19. I think it's time to give up... on Fatal Flaw Discovered In Invisibility Cloaks · · Score: 1

    ...and bend our collective will towards something useful like Boots of Speed or Gauntlets of Ogre Power.

  20. New Kind Of War on Aussie Army Trains With Fleet of Robots On Segways · · Score: 1

    They're just scoping out their opponents and their traditional mode of transport. The Australian Government is preparing to fight a war against Google on two fronts - the internet filter and a hunting trip to Mountain View.

  21. Might be wrong, but... on Woman Creates 3-D Erotic Book For the Blind · · Score: 1

    Aren't they going to need a third hand to hold the book?

  22. Re:Swiss technology on Man-Made Atomic Clocks the Best In the Universe · · Score: 1

    So one of those Swiss Clock Council creeps got you too, huh?

  23. Going by what we've seen from Aliens already on Space Exploration Needs Extraterrestrial Ethics · · Score: 1

    1.) No interference with the internal development of pre-warp civilizations if they gestate within us.

  24. Non-programmer on The 25 Most Dangerous Programming Errors · · Score: 1

    Programming machines with capacity to love?

  25. Re:A bug in a beta? on Outlook 2010 Bug Creates Monster Email Files · · Score: 1

    I think you missed that those bugs create MONSTERS.

    Arm yourselves people! This is the warning that Tokyo never got!
