  1. Re:GTA rocks! on The Worth of the GTA Franchise · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I had a 64th level crested dwarf mage illusioner, non-multiplayer, about a year ago. Forgot all about it until today and just had to plug it :)

  2. Re:GTA rocks! on The Worth of the GTA Franchise · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I'd love to see Take Two team up with someone like Square to product a really open ended RPG style game that has a Final Fantasy feel and GTA's attitude.

    I think what makes GTA fun is that it is leaps and bounds ahead of other real life simulators. If you take something that engrossing and then replace "kill all the hatians" and "shoot up the mafia mansion" with "find my fish" and "deliver this block of wood to the next town" quests, it'll quickly dull :(

  3. Re:Captain? on A Look At The Legend of Zelda Animated Series · · Score: 1

    The Super Mario Brothers Super Show was on 5 days a week. On Fridays, the zelda cartoons were replaced by Zelda, but the live-action sctick was the same.

    It was either right before or after the DJ Kat Show, which I hated for no discernable reason.

    Because the coding staff stuck on whatever branch was discovered to be wildly unpopular would either get fired or quit. It would devastate morale.

  8. Re:Yeah... on What's So Wrong With the ESRB? · · Score: 1

    Unlike pornography and alcohol, it's not actually against the law to sell violent games and movies to minors. Even those states that have passed bans on the latter have all had them overturned.

    Stores and theaters voluntarily agree to abide by these guidelines because the either the good publicity apparently does more for them than the loss of sales or the CEO beleives its worth it despite lesser revenue.

  9. Re:How do the rate them? on What's So Wrong With the ESRB? · · Score: 1

    FCC is the government. In the government, the guy in charge takes responsibility. Therefore, it must fine itself. Its leader must commit ritual seppuku so his head can adorn the battlements.

    Nothing. That sounds perfectly fair and just to everyone. Unfortunately, I get my news from the fark and slashdot threads, not actual experience :(

  13. Re:I've got one on Got a Question for Wikipedia Founder Jimmy Wales? · · Score: 1

    I know :(

    I've been editing random stuff for like 2-3 months, and never really wandered into talk pages. Then the whole mohammed cartoons thing came up, I started reading and all the links to past fights on other articles. So much wasted time and effort, and people always blame the tool whenever something untrue is found.

    "Is Wikipedia as fun now as you originally thought it would be?"

  15. Re:G/L/B Rights on Blizzard Techs Talk Login Times, Not Gay Rights · · Score: 1

    Gay people existed in medieval times, which WoW is based on. GNAA did not.

    While their broad advertising is unthematic, their existence is not.

    Though, I'd imagine many dark age lands had no issue over killing these heathens. It'd be interesting if Blizzard said "thematically, the Holy Mother Church of Horde has decreed you heretics with no protection under the lawsys"

  16. Whew on Gizmondo Europe To Be Liquidated · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Thank I live in America, where if the government can confiscate and sell your property for no discenable reason, they'll at least try and cover it up.

  17. Smoke and mirrors on BitTorrent to Sue Over Trademark · · Score: -1, Troll

    So, pirates are already breaking the law by giving away music and movies for free, something that usually means PMITA prison if caught. They're going to stop now because of a "trademark violation?" OH NOES, NOT THAT!!!ONENEONE

    Google will demand you rise up and slay your fascist overlords. For the good of the proletariot.

  22. Re:Hmm, problem on The Billion Dollar iPod Accessories Market · · Score: 1

    I remember reading several articles about not being able to product ipod-compatible accessories without their explicit say-so. Something about having to break the DMCA for you to connect a new product to the device. Wouldn't they therefore be privy to the ACME company making 10k off-white carrying cases?

  24. Hmm, problem on The Billion Dollar iPod Accessories Market · · Score: 1

    But for every $3 spent on an iPod, at least $1 is spent on an accessory, estimates Steve Baker, an analyst for the NPD Group, a research firm.

    If we can measure the exact number of Ipods sold, why not the same for ipod accessories? Why this "guesstimate" from the Department Of Pulling Statistics Out Of My Ass?

  25. *sigh* on Verizon Blesses Phone-As-Modem Plans · · Score: 1

    For more than the price of cable or DSL, you can get a modem! Wow, what a deal!
