  1. Re:whaaaaat? on Games Announced, Dated, and Delayed · · Score: 1

    I am neither Long Island resident Kevin Fowler, Australian Quaker socialite Kevin Fowler, nor Texas country music legend Kevin Fowler. Sorry.

  2. Re:Cranking up the rumor mill on Games Announced, Dated, and Delayed · · Score: 1

    I just finally bought a GBA... but I may have to swallow my pride and man up for a DS. I need my fix of good side-scrolling mario action. I haven't sincerely liked one of them since Mario World.

  3. Re:Winning Eleven always launches at $40.... on EA Slashing Current-Gen Pricetags · · Score: 1

    especially when you can download roster updates for PC ports of EA sports games.

    I wish more Americans would dive into the winning eleven series. I'm one behind the current one, and it's head and shoulders above FIFA. Reminds me of the fun I used to have playing FIFA '96 against my brother on Sega Genesis.

  4. whaaaaat? on Games Announced, Dated, and Delayed · · Score: 1

    Didn't the God of War guy just slam sequels less than a week ago?

    Woot to even seeing the phrase "Fallout 3" mentioned, even if it won't be at E3.

  5. will this solve anything? on Games Industry Gains Lobbyist · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Is this guy going to be an anti-Jack Thompson with just as much of a crackpot sensationalist view... or is he going to actually relay his point in a sane manner?

  6. Re:Why not a community based p2p client/network ? on Razorback2 Servers Seized · · Score: 1

    But if we make it completely open source, an adware-filled copy will appear faster than you can cash your adsense check. And people will be dumb enough to buy it.

  7. Re:spectator computer games? on Professional Gaming League Raises $10M · · Score: 1

    CS made a pretty neat system to allow spectators to watch on a nearly separate server. Not sure how it worked, but when our clan played CPL matches and I wasn't on the squad, that's how I watched.

  8. Re:Really? on Professional Gaming League Raises $10M · · Score: 1

    I miss Counterstrike CPL matches. Does this mean that I am technically a former professional gamer? Damn, I was still on a dial-up!

  9. Re:No problem... on HP Developing Hybrid Tablet PC / Coffee Table · · Score: 1

    the Wizards of War "peeeeoooooo peeeeooooo" firing sound still haunts my girlfriend to this day.

  10. Re:Redundancy... on The Visual Look of Star Trek Online · · Score: 1

    or the inertial movement?

    Well, I'm out of cash. I'm off to the ATM Machine.

  11. remember when on EA Slashing Current-Gen Pricetags · · Score: 1

    Remember when EA said that all their sports games for the next (now current) gen systems were going to be $30 from then on 2-3 years ago? The focus being on Madden, so it could compete with the superior 2k series. Then remember the next two rounds of EA sports games debuted mostly at $50? Yeah. More EA doublespeak.

  12. Re:More Real Jobs on What Do You Want in a Job Website? · · Score: 1

    replying because i like the site and want to save the link for myself... i'm feeling lazy today.

  13. Re:Curious thing... on Legend of Zelda Celebrates 20 Years · · Score: 1

    both games are on bonus discs that came with different products, Majora is on a slick 3 pack with the Legend of Zelda and Link's Adventure. OOT is on the disk that came with a pre-order of Wind Waker. Hell, I reserved Wind Waker with NO intention of buying it just to get OOT again for $5 (freakin' college buddies borrowed my N64 OOT and sold it for pot).

  14. Re:Innovation on Legend of Zelda Celebrates 20 Years · · Score: 1

    I bought mine 2 years after it came out, and my battery still works fine.

  15. Re:grammar? spelling? sense? on Chinese Journalists Beat Censorship With Web · · Score: 1

    I cleaned my windowless bathroom with some mega grout cleaner yesterday and have felt a bit odd since.

    It's called Lysol Scrubless Tile Cleaner if you want to give it a go.

  16. grammar? spelling? sense? on Chinese Journalists Beat Censorship With Web · · Score: 1

    "When Beijing tried to make a journalist's pay at one newspaper depend on official reactions to their stories, a web-savvy reporter was able to create a groundswell of public opinion and reverse the move."

    Ed Note: Must use the check of spell.

  17. classic on Yahoo! Bans "Allah" in Screen Names · · Score: 1

    This coming on the heels of Yahoo! begging the US Govt not to censor the internet? Gold.

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/02/14/yahoo_cens orship_statement/

  18. the mire of shared documents on VisiCalc Creator Developing WikiCalc · · Score: 1

    I work in content development that requires lots of data tracking, with multiple people working with the data at once. More than a few times, a shared doc has lead to some data toe-stepping. We actually use expressions to generate monthly reports, so I could see some sweet applications of this in-house.

  19. Re:PC Games have one big problem... on PC Games Giant Rouses From Slumber · · Score: 1

    wait for the discount rack! Love the patch!

  20. urge on Apple to 'Switch' to Windows? · · Score: 1

    Between the recent "mac virus" news, and now this... I have this sick desire to scream "WHERE'S YOUR MESSIAH NOW!" at my roommate's iBook.

  21. Re:Uru makes me sad. . . on Uru Makes A Comeback · · Score: 1

    The couple of group interactions I had were great, but at the points that I ran into people, I very quickly encountered spots where I had to set out on my own.

    I never owned the commercial copy of the game... I'm interested in trying this again. Maybe I'll see if it's in the discount rack at best buy.

  22. not enough content on Uru Makes A Comeback · · Score: 2, Informative

    Look at the people rushing to FP this one.

    I beta tested Uru, and it satisfied the little part of me that wanted more exploration in MMO's... but there was a serious lack of both content and purpose. It was far too centered on an open-ended social experience. Obviously exploration was the bread and butter of Myst (which OWNED my life in early middle school), but this game needed more.

  23. uh oh on Amazon Plans Music Service To Rival iPod · · Score: 1

    preloaded music players?

    that's the quickest way for the riaa to blow you out of the sky. haven't they railed enough outlets for this already?

  24. video on Continued Success for Space Elevator Tests · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Regardless of how many descriptions of a space elevator I read, I can not grasp a visual of the process. Anyone have a video of something like the post topic?

  25. Re:OR ... we are all waiting until PS3 and NR come on 360 Sales Slow, Chip Blamed For Issues · · Score: 1

    It's GTA: San Andreas (at least the local copies here are called that). I don't know if it has other names in other Global regions.
