  1. Re:Wrong demographic for this crap? on Pokemon Diamond/Pearl Released in U.S. · · Score: 1

    I think the game is really damn fun, and it offers a lot of new or updated things, namely the underground tunnels, wi-fi battles and trading, and 3D overworld graphics. It's a fresh game for a rehashed series, and I recommend to any DS owners who liked Red/Blue. Most of my friends play it, and all of us are over 16.

  2. Re:360 + Windows Messenger on Xbox Spring Update To Offer Codecs, MSN Messenger · · Score: 1

    Live Messenger will have this once the Spring update comes about, and now it works both ways.

  3. Re:I am going to research if a game has ads on More Advertising in Your Next Xbox Game · · Score: 1

    Oh please, the ads are usually nothing more than a billboard ad or a stadium ad. No game I have ever played with ads detracted from the game, in fact, some are helped by it (sports games, in particular). And ads have been in games for a while, hell, some games are ads, such as the Burger King ones.

  4. Re:I'll tell you one way its worse on Vista Worse For User Efficiency Than XP · · Score: 1

    Yes. In the Mouse menu, of all places. Would never think of finding it there...

  5. I disagree to your disagreement on 4 GB May Be Vista's RAM Sweet Spot · · Score: 1

    I've always been surprised by what people find. I'm running on an A64@2.2GHz with 1.5GB of RAM. Vista boots faster, loads programs faster, shuts down much faster, and the time it takes to switch between programs is virtually nonexistent, all compared to XP. I will admit that a few games aren't quite as fast as they were on XP, but considering the drivers for the cards suck right (which, by the way, is no fault of Microsoft), it's excusable. The install also went smoothly, no problems whatsoever and detected everything the first time.

    Also, you can disable UAC in this awesome little menu called...wait for it..."User Account Control". Oh yeah, I dual-boot this machine with Gentoo. Once again, no problems.

  6. Re:Zappa on RIAA Hires Artists, Then Sends In the SWAT team · · Score: 1

    No, because they're not really trying to go for that image, they're successful businessmen with a legitimate following. They're no different than radio show DJs, except they do a lot more work. They just mix the music and help some up-and-comings get heard.

  7. If... on The Partnership That Could Have Changed Everything · · Score: 5, Funny

    If they teamed up, we would have Windows running on Macs. Oh, wait...

  8. Re:No Thanks! on Mini Introduces RFID-Activated Billboards · · Score: 1

    It's some sort of cream or chapstick thing that's filled with "natural" herbs and gets rid of headaches. Or so I hear.

  9. Re:parallax boe-bot on A Fully Programmable Mobile Robot · · Score: 1

    I made one of these a few years ago, easy C-like programming and fun to build. I made it a line follower, but I was cheap and didn't have much stuff for it...

  10. Re:Nintendo has my money and my respect on Wii Launches, Sells Out Peacefully · · Score: 1

    True dat. Me and my friends camped out, and while we were having shopping cart races and waged minor warfare on Target, we were all peaceful and nice. I got to know a couple of people there. There was even a family of 4 there. Great crowd.

  11. Re:No Ben! on Peter Jackson Talks the Halo Movie · · Score: 1

    Look, have you ever seen the MC without his helmet in the games? No. So, I doubt that they show his face, and if they do...well, it won't be until the end. However, Halo 3 is still coming out, so we could see his face, and then they could CG it in, or find someone remarkably similar.

    Either way, I hope they do it right. It looks like they know what they're doing.

  12. Re:Game Stop? on BloodRayne and Psychonauts Added to Steam Library · · Score: 1

    I think you're thinking of http://www.gametap.com/

  13. Re:My Rights Online?? on How Retailers Watch You · · Score: 1

    Think of it as "Your Rights Offline" too, even though it doesn't say it.

  14. Re:Great! on The Beautiful Chaos of 1,000 Trackmania Racers · · Score: 2, Informative

    Luckily, I had just finished a session of this game, so I was on Windows. It's quite amazing, everyone follows a similar path at the beginning, but as you go further in, people miss jumps, flip over, take a different path, up until the end where everyone jumps into the ocean.

  15. Meh. on Federal Judge Strikes Down Ban on Violent Games · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Well, at least the judge found a video game to be essentially an interactive book, instead of a "violence starter". Really, if a 13 year old kid is playing, say, Doom 3, and his parents are aware of it's rating and think that the kid is mature enough to handle it, they usually are. I first played Doom when I was 6, and Half-Life when I was 9. My parents didn't think that it would incite violence, and, well, it didn't. People like Jack Thompson only make ignorant parents more ignorant.

  16. Use the original disc on Miyamoto on Wiimakes, Dead-End Design · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They should be able to use the original disc, and have the game be locally patched to handle the Wii's control scheme. I wouldn't mind paying $5 for some Metroid Prime goodness.

  17. Wierd on Apple Fires Five Employees for Downloading Leopard · · Score: -1, Troll

    Does anyone else find it odd that an Apple employee is downloading their own product? Unless, of course, they work at an Apple store or something. Besides, Leopard doesn't seem all that different from the previous version...

  18. Re:obOfficeSpace on EVE Online Rocked by 700 Billon ISK Scam · · Score: 4, Funny

    From the thread: "At $12-$15 per 30 day time code, 120 mil isk. Gotta go ask a friend how much prostitutes go for here in Holland. Okay, you can get 2 girls till your done for $150 bucks. So you need 10 GTC's to hook up with two girls at once, that's 1.2 billion isk. With 700 billion isk you could hook up with 1166 girls. If I did my math right"

  19. Re:Apart from gaming on Linux Hardware Looks at Core 2 · · Score: 1

    You don't game on Linux? I have Steam running under WINE. And RCT3. I still use Windows for Eve Online and BF2 though.

  20. Okay, I think I stand for all of us when I say... on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 2, Interesting

    ...what the fuck? Did he watch the trailer? This game is about defeating bullies, not being one. Hell, from the looks of it, it's a comedic game, not GTA+School

  21. Re:The Next Phase on Pac Manhattan Creator Speaks Out! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's probably due to the repetitive, back-and-forth style, except that if you want to one-up your opponent, you need to find their weaknesses, and there's creativity.

  22. Re:It's missing some... on Sega Genesis Collection for PSP and PS2 · · Score: 1

    Michael Jackson's Moonwalker. Seriously.

  23. An IPv6 enabled fridge? on Defcon 14 Full of Amazing Hardware Hacks · · Score: 1

    That's infuckingcredible.

  24. Spore! on Titan's Lakes of Methane and Ethane · · Score: 1

    I think it'll be a while before we get any humans there anyway. Why don't we grow the moon, Spore-style?
