  1. You know... on Kevin Bachus Quits Infinium · · Score: 5, Funny

    ... I am beginning to think it was a bad idea to invest in this company. =(

  2. Games are a form of art. on But Is It Art? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Novels are art, right?
    Some RPGs have novel-sized plots.

    This is what Dictionary.com has to say about art:
    "High quality of conception or execution, as found in works of beauty; aesthetic value."
    Games seem to fit this description as well. Half Life and Doom are wonderful aesthetically.

    Other games even have literary merits.
    Case in point: Earthbound/Mother2 (warning, tsunami of text)

  3. Re:Time on Canadians Plan to Build World's Biggest Telescope · · Score: 1

    You mean the other party, right?

    The gnab gib? Unfortunately, the telescope will have to be build at the edge of the universe to see that.

  4. Re:wow, this is stupid on California Passes Violent Games Bill · · Score: 1

    Maybe this is just a coincidence, but I'm an 18 year old and I don't have any problems with this law.

    Strange, eh?

  5. Not exactly... on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 3, Funny

    It was a project funded by DARPA. These "shells" are fired from a mobile walking tank's rail guns. Theoretically, it could fire a nuke that is untracable and therefore cannot be stopped.

    Summary : Metal Gear?!?

  6. Re:Mutual? on How About a Nice Game of Global Thermonuclear War? · · Score: 2, Informative

    These countries have nuclear capabilities.
    Britain, China, France, India, Pakistan, Russia, United States, and I think North Korea as well.

  7. Re:I would like to Patent... on Nintendo Patents Insanity · · Score: 1

    Don't do that. The real money is patenting sadness. That way, the person gets locked in an infinite loop of sadness.

  8. 3 and 7 are at least two inches on Halo Movie Slated For 2007 · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Three and Seven are at least two inches apart on my keyboard. I wonder how that had happened. It'd be nice for a site to log all the errors of the editors, but I guess it would cost too much to host. =(

  9. Re:Like Miyamoto said.. on Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed · · Score: 2, Informative

    " A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever" - Miyamoto

  10. Nooooooooo! on Zelda: Twilight Princess Delayed · · Score: 1

    Argh, now that its pushed back, it will probably be released at either March or june earliest

    At least we know this won't be rushed like Wind Waker

  11. Seriously man. on Drawing Minorities Into Gaming · · Score: 1

    I've been black for thirteen months and I find this article highly offensive
    What does the colour of my skin have to do gaming? I personally don't care what colour the main character is.
    It is not like people look at games and say "Hey, that main character is white, so I'm going to buy it." or "That main character is black. I'm not going to play as a ****er."
    Stop putting race, religion, and gender into the games because they just don't matter.

  12. Re:The DS was probably my last Nintendo ever! on Nintendo Quarterly Profits Down 80% · · Score: 1
    I've bought every Nintendo known to man, basically because in the beginning

    You bought a virtual boy?

    Talk about devotion.

  13. Re:Every empire has its end on USA to Pass Science Crown to China · · Score: 1

    Lol, its because we're God-blessed, silly. I mean, Jesus loves us, right?

  14. Obviously rolling in cash on Got Spyware? Throw out the Computer! · · Score: 1

    They can afford 400 dollars every time they get a spyware? That's like 1200 dollars a day!

  15. Re:Grammer Check!!! on Sharp's Double-View LCD TV · · Score: 1

    Yeah, to hell with grammar and spelling check!
