  1. Re:32x didnt work on The 10 Lamest Game Consoles Ever · · Score: 1

    I had (and still have) a 32X. Although by the time I got mine games were hard to come by, I really liked a few of them, Shadow Squadron, Space Harrier, Metal Head....And Knuckles Chaotix is one of my favorite platformers.....I'm sad my cartrige bit the dust a few years ago.....

  2. Re:Today's "true" myths on Star Trek PhD Thesis Wins Academic Prize · · Score: 1

    What? And make people feel as stupid as they really are? Nonsense....

  3. Re:Today's Philosphical question... on Ever-Happy Mouse Sheds Light on Depression · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Myself, being an artist of sorts, would rather die than have my art taken away.

  4. Re:right with ya on that! on Apple Recalls 1.1 Million Laptop Batteries · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I got the same problem.

    From TFA: "Apple has said it has received a total of nine complaints so far from users reporting "overheating" of the batteries."

    9 complaints my ass! The Apple support forums are full of people complaining about various problems with their batteries, overheating being the most common. What they should say is "We tried to ignore this problem as long as we could, but then people started to catch on fire so we're gonna do as little as possible to save our own asses."

  5. Re:Parenting philosophy on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Personal responsibility?!? How dare you say such a thing in a public forum! Don't you know it's the governments(R) job to be responsible for you while you live a happy-go-lucky(tm) life? It's people like you who are impeding the progress of our great socialistic world!! Back to the freethinking and archaic idealism from which you came foul demon!

    Doesn't mean you cower in fear either. And how the hell did you extrapolate that from the parent anyway?

  7. Re:Meat-based Robots Are Not the Answer on NASA Learns Anew From the Apollo Program · · Score: 1

    Sheesh, don't you have any sense of adventure? What about going just because you can? Granted, the practical side of me says "you're right" but the other side thats more fun, exciting and much more likely to do something worthwhile says "practicality be damned, I want to go to the moon". Robots are cool and make menial tasks interesting, actually walking on the moon transcends cool.

  8. Re:a globally catastrophic event on The NYT Imagines Life After Earth · · Score: 1

    I think we may survive this one, his term is almost over after all. Now we just have to survive the next moron to get "elected".

  9. Re:Masters Of Orion 3 on Can Games Make You Cry? · · Score: 1

    I'll second that one...although my reacton was to go play the original a few more times.

  10. Re:One game back on Can Games Make You Cry? · · Score: 1

    Personally, I would go with Locke's loss of Rachel after spending all those years looking for and finally finding the Phoenix, only to find out there wasn't enought power left to revive her but for a few moments.

  12. Re:Well, that's not so hard. on Whatever Happened to the Gaming Mascot? · · Score: 1

    In that case I want a Microsoft game where I play Mr. Gates and get to take over the world through economic force....or something like that.

  13. Re:Hmmm... they should have enlarged that list. on Five That Fell · · Score: 1

    Do yourself a favor. Reinstall it, change the controls to your liking and take a weekend off from everything. The Freespace series is simply a must play for anyone who likes good games, especially fans of the space-sim genre.

  14. Re:Gamers Prefer Quantity Over Quality on Xbox 360 Wins Through 2009? · · Score: 1

    Chair throwing jokes are always funny, assuming you are the one throwing the chair. It's like "HAHA, you got hit by a fucking chair bitch, yeah, what 'cha gonna do now?" It kinda still works if you on the side of the chair thrower. If however you are on the receiving end of the chair throwing joke, then they suck badly and should all die along with the people that tell them.

  15. Re:Navy? on The U.S. Navy's Doctrine of Laser Eye Surgery · · Score: 1

    Yup, USAF flies E-3 Sentrys, rather large planes based on the Boeing 707/320 airliner. The Navy flies the E-2 Hawkeye, a smaller and more durable plane that can actually fit on a carrier.

  16. Re:I wasn't aware... on The Best of Xbox Back Compat · · Score: 1

    In theory, yeah, but as you can see from some of the other posts here, it's being implemented very badly. Sony has set the bar pretty high in this field and MS seems like it isn't even trying to compete at times.

  17. Re:I wasn't aware... on The Best of Xbox Back Compat · · Score: 1

    I don't keep up on it to much, but IIRC, MS is working BC into the XBox via a software emulator (hence the need to Xbox Live, gotta get the new patches) instead of just making the 360 hardware BC with the old Xbox hardware. With the playstation, the PS2 hardware was BC with the PSX.

    There was a group doing that (sorta) on their own awhile back, a Starcraft total conversion mod for WC3.....then some corporate bastards had to come and stop them out......

    Kefka could whup that whiny Sephiroth any day of the week. After all, it was Kefka who taunted: "You people sound like chapters of a self-help book!"
    I have to agree. It's been awhile since I beat my last FF game, but if I recall correctly Kefka was the only FF villain to actually go through with his "destroy the world" scheme. He was funny too, none of the normal emo crap.
  20. Re:the best 3d web thingy ever on Three 3D Web Browsers Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Exposé is, to me, the most useful feature to hit the computer industry since the mouse. I always hate not having it when using my windows PC or someone else's computer. (Yes, I know that are apps that do the same thing as Exposé for windows, but the last time I used one of them it slowed my computer down badly)
