  1. Re:What about the poor guy that played Boba? on Star Wars DVD Box Set Released · · Score: 1

    That's Jeremy Jeremy Bulloch. He appears briefly as an Imperial guard on cloud city who drags Leia off of Cloud City just as Luke gets there. So he still gets a moment of un-helmeted glory.

  2. Re:What a load of garbage on Time-Shifting For The iPod · · Score: 1

    good point... in that case, let me rephrase myself:

    I DARE you to make less sense!!!! :-P

  3. Re:What a load of garbage on Time-Shifting For The iPod · · Score: 1

    somehow, your explanation makes LESS sense than the original poster!

    the only reason i can come up with, is that his daily commute occurs AFTER morning edition has left the air(2nd shift?), so he records it before he wakes up, and listens to it on the way

  4. Re:Wild ride to the past that should have been on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Insightful

    here here! i agree completely
    The Rocketeer was one of the most underrated movies of my time, I'm really looking forward to next weekend.

  5. Re:Doc Savage, Man of Bronze!! on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 1
    A modern retake on an era, just like RenFaires have little to do with the actual Middle Ages.

    that's a lie! everyone in the middle ages was a wealthy Pagan Celtic magician who carried a sword and all the women wore low-cut tops and flirted with anything in pants!

    hehehe, sorry, i know too many ren-faire people who can't seperate fantasy from reality

  6. the Sci-Fi museum on Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just visited that museum on vacation a few weeks ago. It's not very big, being shoe-horned into the Experience Music Project, but what it lacks in quantity it makes up for with quality. The exhibits and presentation was amazing. (for example, while a short loop about the Matrix displayed on a big projection screen, smaller projectors turned the walls into cascading 'Matrix-code')

  7. Re:Adverts in games? on In-Game Advertising Breaks Out · · Score: 1

    did PA do that joke first or did the Simpsons?
    (not with BF42 of course, but with a Saving Private Ryan-esque movie theater ad for Buzz Cola)

  8. Re:Half-Life 1 on Which Classic Games Have Aged Well? · · Score: 1

    did he say Counter Strike? no... CS is now so far removed from HL that they're no longer considered the same thing, sheesh

    the original HL had a gripping intense story that kept you in suspense, intelligent AI, and an unbelievably real, yet "unreal" environment that sucked you into the world of the game

    i'd almost be afraid to play if they remade Half Life with modern graphics and sounds, i practically had to sleep with the lights on while playing it the first time!

  9. Re:Mega-spark RAM on Abused, But Working Hardware Stories? · · Score: 1

    i work at a military electronics company, and ESD is HUGE here, your first week, you have to sit through an hour long ESD class

    they showed a picture of a part, magnified 50x, a tiny little wire, no bigger than a human hair popped off, just because of a static shock, that caused the whole unit to malfunction

  10. Found it! on Celebrity Casting For LOTR · · Score: 4, Informative

    i just remembered where it was:

    http://flyingmoose.org/tolksarc/movie.htm

  11. Re:LOTR as film noir? on Celebrity Casting For LOTR · · Score: 1

    already done
    i wish i had the url, but it was bascially old film clips with new dialouge over it, Bogart was Frodo, Peter Lorre was Gollum, Sydney Greenstreet as Gandalf (a clip of him in a grey business suit in the beginning, later scenes in white)

    anyone have the url?

  12. MOD PARENT UP on SETI Predicts We'll Find ETs by 2020 · · Score: 1

    good stuff, i've often pondered that myself, what if they're sending signals via something like "sub-space" (sorry to get Trekkie on ya, i just didn't know how else to put it)

  13. Re:X-Rated Picture on Fifteen Years of Technology Reporting · · Score: 1

    ME TOO!!!1

    (anti-lameness, blah blah blah)

  14. Re:Interesting! on Fifteen Years of Technology Reporting · · Score: 1

    oh... is that joke still funny here, on the moon we have progressed far beyond your level of "pac-man" jokes

    WE ARE FUNNY! SPACE INVADERS JOKES OWN YOU BITCHES! HA!

    settle down err.....

    [adult swim]

  15. Re:Sell out on When Videogames Publishers Go 'Street' · · Score: 1

    if ya wanna look me up
    you better look below
    Sealab 2021 NEW SHOWS!

    that's been stuck in my head for a week, damn you M.C. Chris!!!!!

  16. Re:Sorry... on Stargate Atlantis Tomorrow · · Score: 1

    Is somebody forcing you to see what is likely to be the worst movie of the summer?

    someone is forcing him to see Catwoman.... oh god.... oh god no!!!!!! its torture!!!!

  17. Re:balance of terror continuity... on Star Trek XI: Romulan Wars? · · Score: 1

    what episode was that in? reading it in a novel, or a throwaway line in a random episode doesn't make it any more or less 'canon' than Enterprise/Nemesis

  18. Re:Games have always been political. on In These Games, the Points Are All Political · · Score: 1

    obligitory Bloodhound Gang reference:

    PM: yo yo yo yo! what it is mutherfukkerz!!!

    BG1: aw shit, here comes Pac-Man

    BG2: Hey Pac-Man! what's up?

    PM: Me you bitches! I'm high on crack! wanna freebase?

    BG2: no Pac-Man! drugs are bad!

    BG1: yep! can't help ya man!

    PM: puuusyyyys! (sound of pipe) whoooah! holy shit!!!!
    (cue Pac-Man theme music)

    (hey, at least i didn't go the cheap route with that tired "video games didn't influence us" rave cliche)

  19. to answer their question on Microsoft Offers A Peek At New Search Engine · · Score: 2, Interesting
    What do we have under the hood? A brand new algorithmic search engine -- built from the ground up -- on Microsoft technology. Give it a spin and tell us what you think.

    This site will be available for a short time. After we have time to incorporate your feedback and add some features it'll be back, new and improved.

    what do i think? i think you should stop having the marketing-drones right your copy, when Google says things like "give it a spin" or "it'll be back", it seems genuine, when Microsoft says it, it sounds forced and derivative of the original
  20. Re:Simpsons Did It! on John Deere American Farmer - The Game · · Score: 1

    or King of the Hill, when Boomhauer got his virtual fingers sliced off in the VR mower simulator

  21. Re:My dad built original Dland fireworks computer on Disney Launches Fireworks With Compressed Air · · Score: 1

    I'm a huge Disney Imagineering fan... reading a post like this just makes my eyes light up... i really really really want to go now! (too bad i live in PA)

    That's incredible that your father designed the fireflies, that is one of Disneyland's most famous "little touches"

  22. Re:Interesting notion... on Unofficial Tabletop X-Com Game Given Away · · Score: 1

    yeah... uh, how about
    Pac-Man!!!
    wow.... that's just freakin cool

  23. Re:Not too funny... on The Mathematics of Futurama · · Score: 1
  24. Re:No no no... on The Mathematics of Futurama · · Score: 1
