    DARK CLOUD!? That game is the f8cking SPAWN OF SATAN. Seriously. NEVER play that game. It erased my memory card and killed my father. Ok, so it didn't kill my father, but it still erased my card. Most. Tedious. Game. Ever.

    Better question: is there anything Google can't beta ?!

  13. Errm.. on Build Your Own MMOG · · Score: -1

    Just because you release something for free doesn't mean you should make people go broke coding stuff for it. Way to stave the open source developers, folks.

  14. Just another.. on Edubuntu - Linux For Young Human Beings! · · Score: -1

    I really don't see why Ubuntu is getting so much recognition? What did they do that was so-darn-great anyways? Please, enlighten me -- I see nothing special about this distro, (except the 'Linux for human beings' phrase, what? the other distros are for martians or something? Yeesh).

  20. That's easy to answer. on Why Does Beta Last So Long? · · Score: -1

    Everything I make is in beta because it still crashes and freezes sometimes, it doesn't have all the features I want to implement and it could simply run faster. I'm amazed that nobody else could say this.

  21. I happen to own a Lego Mindstorms set.. on Lego Mindstorms: What Went Wrong? · · Score: -1

    All I can say is: crappy programming setup, and not enough actual 'hardware'. I didn't spend $250 just to get a box of assorted plastic here people!

    Ken: For a thousand years, the evil brains have been constructing the giant Infosphere, a giant memory bank twice the size of three ordinary memory banks.

    Fry: What's so evil about that?

    Fiona: They plan to collect all the information in the universe and store it in the sphere.

    Fry: So they're trying to learn things?

    Fiona: Right.

    Fry: Those bastards!

    Nibbler: Being brains, they feel compelled to know everything. And soon they will.

    Fry: I'm as mad as I've ever been.

    Ken: Once their task is complete, they will ensure no new information arises in the only way possible: by destroying the universe.

    Fry: Now it's personal.

    Fiona: Your mission is to infiltrate the Infosphere and plant this quantum-interphase bomb, blasting them into an alternate universe, from which there is no return.

    Nibbler: Then outrun the blast on this Scooty-Puff Jr.

    [He winds the key in the back of the Scooty-Puff Jr. Fiona attaches the bomb to Fry's spacesuit.]

    Fry: OK, let's go through this once more -

    [The Nibblonians open the airlock and Fry is blown out into space. Fry screams. He rides the Scooty-Puff Jr towards the Infosphere. A swarm of brainsspawn fly past him and one hits him on the head.]

    Fry: Aah! Brains!

    [Ken appears on Fry's arm communicator.]

    Ken [on screen]: Fear not Mighty One, your missing brainwave makes you invisible to them. So long as you avoid intense thinking.

    Fry: Sorry, what? I wasn't paying attention.

    Ken [on screen]: That is most wise.

    Fry: Who?

    [Cut to: Outside Infosphere.]

    Ken [on screen]: In a few seconds the brains will finish scanning the last bits of information in the universe.

    [Brains float past a data port and it scans their information.]

    Infosphere [scanning data]: Beavers mate for life. 11 > 4. For quality carpets visit Kaplan's carpet warehouse!

    [The scanning ends and the Infosphere initiates a self-scan.]

    Ken [on screen]: Now the Infosphere will open it's protective crust so as to scan itself, completing it's thousand year task.

    [The Infosphere opens and a scanner comes out. It slowing begins to rotate around the Infosphere, scanning as it goes and making a noise like a connecting modem.]

    Fiona [on screen]: This is your one chance to enter the sphere! Scoot! Scoot now!

    [Fry scoots through the Infosphere's crust.]

    [Cut to: Infosphere. The place is swarming with brains and in the centre of the sphere is a huge master brain. Fry scoots towards it and crashes into it. He climbs to the top where there is a computer console.]

    Fry: I'm at the input console. I'm a little nervous and I've got brain in my buttcrack.

    Nibbler [on screen]: Roger.

    [Fry attaches the bomb to the console.]

    Ken [on screen]: Once you press the detonator, you will have 60 seconds for an exciting escape.

    [Fry is about to push the button but hesitates.]

    Fry: Hey wait, this brain knows everything about everything right?

    Ken [on screen]: It will soon. That's why you're supposed to be setting off a bomb.

    Fry: Yeah yeah, but I can't pass up a chance to learn the answers to the greatest questions of all time. [He speaks into the console.] Is it true that post-it stamp glue is made up of -

    Infosphere Brain: Correct. Toad mucus.

    [On the console screen is a video clip of a postman squeezing a toad so it's mucus drips into a bucket.]

    Ken [on screen]: There's no time for this. Activate the bomb.

    Fry: Wait wait wait. [He speaks into the console.] What really killed the dinosaurs?
