  1. Re:You're Fired! on Stephen Hawking Looking for Assistant · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wow, I just had a sound clip of Stephen Hawking saying "You are fired" pop into my head. I don't know how it sounds in the real world but in my own personal world it's hilarious.

  2. My list on A Definitive List of Gaming Genres? · · Score: 1

    Shooter (Title is a little misleading, sword slashing would fall in here as well)
    RPG
    Adventure
    2D platformer
    3D platformer
    Fighter
    Flyer (Spaceships and submarines count too.)
    MMO (MUDs would probably fit in here too)
    Strategy
    Sports (Many sub-catagories)
    Rythm (DDR, Guitar Hero)
    Casual/Puzzle (Bejewled, Tetris)
    Racing

    Genre-defying (Katamri, The Incredible Machine)

    There, I think that almost any game wil fit into one of those catagories. Many games should also only fit nicely into one category. Though there are exceptions. For instance Deus Ex is bot h RPG and Shooter while GTA is at its heart a shooter, but it has incorporated many other genres.

  3. PSP Fantasies on PSP to Get Classic Game Download Service · · Score: 1

    Hmm... this seems to be one of the best reasons to buy a PSP yet assuming that they have all of the Final Fantasies available. Of course, I would still need to shell out for the PSP only to then have to shell out more dough to buy copies of games I already own.

    Odds are an MIT student has already read this and Harvard is about to get 0wn3d in a creative and hilarious way.

  6. Re:Release Candidate? on Windows Vista RC1 Complete · · Score: 5, Funny

    Most of the work left is reclassifying all the bug reports as "features."

    So wait, are you saying that 4G is LOUDER than 3G?

    A mobile stunt entailed providing delegates on a specially designed bus with a live broadcast of the forum, Internet access, and video on demand, all simultaneously at speeds of 100Mbps.


    See! The Internet's not a truck that you just dump stuff on. It's actually a bus.
  9. Re:DNF1220! on Humanity Gene Found? · · Score: 3, Funny

    Actually, 1220 refers to the fact that it will be released 1220 years after the second coming of Christ. (*Note: This release date is tenative and subject to change.*)

    ...If we find an earth-like "moon" orbiting a gas giant in another solar system


    Dammit! Under your definition we would have to reclassify Yavin IV as a planet. Think of all the Star Wars books that would have to be editted.

  14. Re:One man's Pork is another man's Job Well Done on Bloggers 1, Smoke-Filled Room 0 · · Score: 1

    I live in New Mexico and I'm not sure where all that is going. Although I am told that Dominiche is good a bringing home the bacon. However, we do have quite a few government facilities here.

    - Los Alamos National Lab
    - Sandia National Lab
    - White Sands Missile Range
    - Kirtland Airforce Base
    - Some more big military bases I can't remember

    I'm also not sure if our fed taxes paid is also a little low because of our large casino industry that is run on Indian reservations and thus pays no taxes.

  15. Re:Talent Icons on Official WoW Expansion Talent Information · · Score: 1

    I'm going to take a stab at figuring out what the parent meant. I think he was trying to convey that Diablo was focused around a single avatar you chose instead of Warcraft where you were busy ordering around an entire army.

  16. Re:Horde Paladin? on Official WoW Expansion Talent Information · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's ver simple really. The Blood Elves are a kickass race. When a kickass race wants divine power, they don't ask for it; they just take it. In the Blood Elves' case, they made a Naru(being of light) into their bitch and their paladins tap into divine energy siphoned from it.

    So blood elf paladins' holy power does not come with any EULA saying they have to have a +5 stick of morality up their ass.

    Wow, somehow I find that the easiest to remember,

  18. Re:A question of fairness and integrity on Pluto Decision Meets with Frustration · · Score: 1

    Except they are not determining a scientific fact. They are pounding out a scientific classification. Classifications should and are decided by majority. By standaadizing what is a planet and what is a dwarf planet, scientists can now speak the same language and communicate more effectively. (Although I think the planet issue is a really bad example of this, I don't think that the definition of planet was really hampering any astronomers research. A better example might be when the length of a second was defined.)

    Ok here's your new set of letters

    MVEMCJSUNPCX or maybe MVEMCJSUNCPX you might want to make it witty in a way to denote that Pluto and Charon are binary.

  21. Re:NASA's new mission: to set foot on a planet on Pluto Decision Meets with Frustration · · Score: 1

    To clear your orbit means that you are magnitudes of size larger than other bodies in your orbit. The Earth and Jupiter are. Pluto is not.

  22. Re:A question of fairness and integrity on Pluto Decision Meets with Frustration · · Score: 1

    I fail to see how Pluto's planetary status benefits any special intrest groups or political parties. The two groups making money off this are the media and the T-shirt vendors. Astrologers might care, but they make up their own rules anyways so it doesn't matter.

  23. Re:PLUTO IS STILL A PLANET on Pluto Decision Meets with Frustration · · Score: 1

    I feel pedantic enough to point out that your solar system is missing Jupiter. Now considering that Jupiter is the second largest body in this solar system, I find it hard to forget.

  24. Re:big $, small thrill on EVE Online Rocked by 700 Billon ISK Scam · · Score: 1

    So far society have yet to consider online possesions as true property so he is safe from the law as well. (As long as he doesn't omit $130k in ebay auctions on his next tax return).

    However, cases such as these where online property can be worth substantial amounts of money will probably end up in the books getting rewritten at some point in the not too distant future.

  25. I love it on EVE Online Rocked by 700 Billon ISK Scam · · Score: 5, Interesting

    It's interesting to watch all the scams that go on in Eve, I consider it a great social experiment.

    There are three main features of Eve that create this situation.

    1. Easy-to-use player run capitalist system. (It's easy for anyone to start up and manage a business)
    2. Zero laws against corporate fraud (As pure as capitalism gets)
    3. Anonymity from victims. (It's a lot easier to rationalize ripping off people in a virtual world.)

    Combined together these factors have lead to some amazing corporate frauds and espionage.

    I don't have time/effort myself to invest in Eve, but it's still fun to read what determined Eve players go to lengths to achieve.

    (A thought occured to me while typing this. Someone should offer some sort of contract in Eve. Either it can be done through CCP with GMs backing it and they could even charge for it, or a sufficiently large and militarized corporation could sell contract enforcement. Maybe this has already been done, otherwise feel free to steal this idea and try to make some isk with it.)
