  1. Re:I can understand the hold on Alaskan Cyclotron - Not in My Backyard! · · Score: 1
    What's the problem? He installs a helipad without getting approval, you install an anti-aircraft battery without getting approval. These things have a way of sorting themselves out.

    Heh. Where are my mod points when I need them?

  2. Re:Not all Star Wars games suck on Old School Gameplay Collides With Modern Graphics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Good God, could my original message be any less informative? Self-loathing aside, the point I was trying to make about the original author is maybe he is trying to say "Games based on actual Star Wars movies, with the exception of Super Star Wars, generally suck." I don't think the author meant to group all SW games into this category...I think he sees a distinction between games like TIE Fighter (not based on a Star Wars movie, but set in the SW universe) and games like "The Phantom Menace" (based on the flow and events of a Star Wars movie). I'm not feeling very smart right now...hope this makes sense.

  3. Re:Not all Star Wars games suck on Old School Gameplay Collides With Modern Graphics · · Score: 1

    This was my first reaction as well, but I think the original poster meant games that attempt to follow the action of a specific movie, like the Phantom Menace game, etc...not games that carve out a new part of the EU, like the cool games you mentioned. Just my 2 cents.

  4. Re:Where's the market? on Video iPod Oct 12? · · Score: 2, Funny

    To me, the market is the same market that drove the growth in VCRs - porn. I'm not being facetious when I say A LOT of hairy-palmed guys are gonna snatch this device up load it with A) 10MB of family pictures B) 59.99 GB of downloads from alt.binaries.multimedia.erotica. Forget the problem with scratched screens - let's just hope the damn thing is waterproof.
