  1. Descent: Freespace -- Silent Threat on Have You Hit a Gaming Wall? · · Score: 0

    Your wing of fighters is sent as an escort for a couple of bombers. Simple mission in theory: bombers turn a space station into dust, everyone goes home. Problem is, the bombers do pretty much nothing to the station and you're forced to blow it up yourself. Not so bad, as after the first fifteen or so attempts, you've finally given in and gotten yourself a bomber to pilot. And then a huge destroyer jumps in. Still not so bad, as you have most of your wings still flying around. Its weapons won't even hit a half-decent pilot. Except the destroyer is the spawn point for unlimited waves of fighters. One by one, your wingmates are hunted down, until you're left, feebly pummeling away at the destroyer with your stockpile of bombs in a spot where you hope no-one will notice you. Eventually you run out, and call in a support ship for more ammo. The fighters chew up your support ship. You're stuck there alone, trying to melt a hole in the destroyer's hull with your laser cannons. A stray fighter notices you. You die. I've never seen the ending.

  2. Re:Blessed be her holy hooves. on Australia Conducting Electronic Census · · Score: 0

    I just checked my copy of the census. No sign of Jedi.

  3. Re:This, at least, matches... on Inside the NES Worlds of Power Series · · Score: 0

    Actually, I think what they mean is that Ken Hayabusa actually lives through the cutscene where he's supposed to die.

  4. Obligatory Simpsons on The President, The State of the Union, and Genetics · · Score: 1, Funny

    "God, schmod -- I want my monkey man!"

  5. Re:Blizzard is right on Gay Guild Recruitment Disallowed From WoW? · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm fairly certain that Blizzard has not written sex into the actual game, so therefore it doesn't officially exist ... you can't have sex at all.

    So it's just like real life, then.

  6. Go robots! Woohoo! on Robot Saves the Day at Radiation Lab · · Score: 1

    Go robots! Woohoo!

  7. Re:Propaganda machine in action? on Cyber Attacks on US Linked to Chinese Military? · · Score: 1

    Fnord.

  8. Re:Let's be fair! on Microsoft Sued Over Alleged Xbox 360 Defects · · Score: 1

    I suspect the battery comment refers to the batteries on the cartridges that allowed you to save the games, as seen in Super Metroid, Super Mario World and so on.
