  1. Hmblrr on Podcasting Goes Pay-to-Play · · Score: 0, Troll

    I'll never charge anything for my podcast. And I'm not just saying that because it's called "The Worst Podcast In The World", I wouldn't charge for it even if I thought I could. Seriously. Because I'm a lefty hairy commie pinko, and proud of it!

  2. Wow!! on Ten Reasons to Buy Windows Vista · · Score: 1

    All these great things that I've already had on my Mac for a year or more - and I get viruses and spyware and bad karma, to boot! Yeeehaw!

  3. I thought they were just for food on Robot Piloted by a Slime Mold · · Score: 1

    When is this going to be in Nethack?

  4. Re:Raised eyebrows on Possible Breakthrough for AIDS Cure · · Score: 1
    last i looked, mr. bush seemed a pretty hardcore christian to me.

    Last I looked, Mr. Bush did not quite forgive his enemies, turn the other cheek, do unto others as he would have them do unto him, or pretty much anything else that I would associate with the teachings of Jesus Christ, whom these "Christians" have for some reason named their religion after.

  5. IT bubble, IT boom... on The New Boom · · Score: 1

    If it turns out to be worse than the bubble, they could call it the IT boil...

    IT abscess...

  6. Aww... on Revolution In North America By Thanksgiving · · Score: 1

    I was really excited by the headline before I saw it was filed under Games...

  7. Re:I'm curious... on Maker of Postal Responds to Thompson · · Score: 1

    You kind of answer your own question... The point is that in a simulation you can do the stuff you wouldn't normally do...

  8. Re:The secret on Apple Surpasses Dell's Market Value · · Score: 1

    I believe that the sentence maybe continues thus: "...for the users to be happy and sane".

  9. Wow on Good and Bad Procrastination · · Score: 1

    I have a +5 Insightful comment to this article... Which I'm going to post right after this short nap.

    No more than 15 minutes, honest.

  10. Summary on Best and Worst of 2005 · · Score: 4, Funny

    1 biggest internet mistake since the year 1980: really short articles that for no apparent reason span across 15 pages with a terrible interface.

    Here's a summary of the article, for those of us who don't want to painfully click our way through what should have been no longer than twenty lines of text: "5 biggest game mistakes in 2005: the 5 game related things that happened. The end."

  11. We're working on it on Polar Bears Drowning As Globe Warms · · Score: 1

    Please polar bear with us as we attempt to get the carbon dioxide levels drown a bit.

  12. Re:Fascinating on Narwhal Tusks are Sensory Organs · · Score: 2, Funny

    A Narwhal man's place is in the kitchen! The tusks are for finding food.

    And yes that's how you spell Narwhal.

  13. Re:psychology not learning on Chimpanzees Beat out Children in Reasoning Test · · Score: 1
    Children are told to do things all the time- they are punished if they don't do them exactly as asked. Kids are encouraged to conform and do what they are asked.
    Whereas chimps in laboratory environments usually grow up in a totally free environment where they can do whatever they want and no reward/punishment system is ever employed.
  14. Hmm on A Programmer's Bookshelf · · Score: 1
    "...or what should be and is not?"
    Some fiction, apparently.
  15. Oh dear on Pirates of the Burning Sea Starts Beta · · Score: 1

    Good God!! Pimps at Sea lives!

  16. Well! on On The Feminine Form In Gaming · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I'm glad the masculine form in gaming isn't being questioned. All my male friends look like that.

  17. Re:Hooray! on Terrible Games From A Terrible Year · · Score: 1

    (Oh, and I'd like to be the first to point out that this had nothing do with the fact that there were no Mac games at all before this since there were no Macs.)

  18. Hooray! on Terrible Games From A Terrible Year · · Score: 1

    I am glad to hear this. In the years following 1984, there was a great boost in really great, awesome games being made. (At least for the Mac, which I use. Sosumi. Banzai, Scarab of RA, Crystal Quest, Social Climber, Fool's Errand, Zero Gravity, Bird Race, Strategic Conquest and Dark Castle to name a few!)
    Considering that there have only been two or three half-decent games released in the most recent few years and certainly not a single one in 2005, perhaps we can hope for a new boost of great games now? =]

    Well, I can dream...

  19. Bah on Car Paint Changes With Temperature · · Score: 1

    Is this news? I had a car like that 10 years ago.

    Sadly, it crashed into a raspberry bush at 1 km/h. At least I got out of it with only a few scratches.

  20. Artist's rendition on Glide File Sharing Service Debuts · · Score: 1

    Intelligent storage, an artist's rendition Now you too can store your data in a cross between a black hole and a chaotic circle down the drain!

  21. Sweet on Researchers Identify Gene Involved in Regeneration · · Score: 1

    If they'll be selling RoRs soon, how long before I can buy a WoW?

  22. Dark Fibre on Who's Afraid of Google? · · Score: 1

    "When was the last time you remember searching for something using AltaVista?"
    "What do you mean?"
    "I just mean not using Google. You know, Yahoo. When was the last time you remember using it? And I'm not talking about some distant, half-forgotten childhood memory. I mean like in the 90's. Can you remember when and why you switched? You can't, can you?
    You know something, I don't think we really... switched... at all. 'Cause I've been talking to tons and tons and tons of people, and nobody remembers how they started using Google."

    Shut it down! Shut it down forever!!

  23. Re:Not entirely new... on In-Game Ads Necessary? · · Score: 1

    Yes. And it was awesome! It wasn't nearly as Sonic-like as everyone seemed to think, though...

  24. Not entirely new... on In-Game Ads Necessary? · · Score: 1

    There have been some pretty old games made that pretty much were advertisements - and they were actually fun, too. Like Zool.
    But if Master Chief drove a Ford in Halo 3, that would be the final straw that would make me break up with Bungie.

  25. Meanwhile, everywhere on Blizzard Sued for Death of Gamer · · Score: 1

    Cigarrette smoking is still legal.
