  1. Re:Money, nerds whatever. on Cheap New GeForce 8800 GT Challenges $400 Cards · · Score: 1

    "Biggest cock in the building" syndrome doesn't mean you have any real control or respect.

  2. Re:Ha ha ha...zo'o on Ratchet and Clank's Trek Towards Pixar Quality Visuals · · Score: 1

    They worry about mass appeal first, look second, story third.

    Unless you can tell me that Shrek 2 was a great story.

  3. Re:Ha ha ha...zo'o on Mario 64 Working Full Speed on PSP · · Score: 1

    You are definitely missing the point. It is a remake, in that the original code has been drastically optimized to run on the ds. I don't know the specifics, but since they are DIFFERENT platforms, you can't just use the initial data with a veritable expansion pack and play it on whatever system you want, otherwise PC's wouldn't be the computer system of choice for gamers, and Dreamcast games would work on playstation - they can read the discs, can't they?

  4. Re:Funny, but lame on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    As far as font conversion, you can still use points as a unit of measure, or an identical standard by a metric name, simply because fonts never need to be remeasured. I, on a regular basis, use metric measurements for graphic design while using points to measure my font.

  5. Re:Stop Digging on Sony, Nintendo, id Lauded With Emmys · · Score: 1

    They specified that it was for the playstation 2 version.

  6. Re:Stop Digging on Sony, Nintendo, id Lauded With Emmys · · Score: 1

    no, they gave it to the dual shock for the playstation 2, which was the dual shock 2

  7. Re:I know... on New Molecules for a Faster Internet · · Score: 1

    yeah, but for readibility, they're not the most usable grammatical system, and that's why they don't have heirarchy over other devices, like comma usage or simply explaining something with eloquence.

  8. Re:I know... on New Molecules for a Faster Internet · · Score: 1

    The thing is, proper grammar and sentence structure can basically eliminate the need for nearly all parenthesis.

  9. Re: Different Tastes I suppose... on Why Bother With Episodic Games? · · Score: 1

    Well obviously ESB is not a good standalone movie, nor is it a movie designed to close the series, but that's essentially what started the discussion - the concept of episodic media. It obviously worked for star wars, and whether you like it or not, it's probably the best rated star wars movie. They couldn't exactly make a ROTJ a 5 hour movie and combine it with ESB, could they? As for Pirates 2, I found the actual movie to be more coherent than the first, since it seems to have a real defined goal. The first time watching the first pirates it seemed a little lost and disjointed, but that never happened with the second one.

  10. Re:Note a different aspect... on Why Bother With Episodic Games? · · Score: 1

    Really, because personally I like the second Pirates better, and the second original Star Wars movie is often regarded as the best star wars movie.

  11. Re:right... I'll buy that bridge... on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 1

    That doesn't apply in Canada, but you can't stop anyone for suspected shoplifting until they've left the store itself.

  12. Re:right... I'll buy that bridge... on Demo PS3 Units freeze on Purpose · · Score: 1

    my installation of .kkrieger went totally fine.

  13. Re:Ha ha ha...zo'o on Child's Play Collect Almost Half a Million Dollars · · Score: 1

    seriously? I mean, really, you're serious about this? I just, you know, I just want to find out, you know, how serious you are.

  14. Re:Really? Unconfirmed info on wikipedia?!? on Long-Term Wikipedia Vandalism Exposed · · Score: 1

    why not?

  15. Re:paper trail? on Ask a "Star" of HBO's Voting Machine Documentary · · Score: 1

    so what people examine the quality of these voting machines? Is it justa committee that examines everything else, or is it unbiased professionals? It's not exactly the same as buying a new television.

  16. Re:Supercharged! on The Wii's Brain Exposed · · Score: 1

    nintendo has said they are not always exactly the same on the VC.

  17. Re:I like beige boxes on Sexy Intel Computer Design Worth Big Bucks · · Score: 1

    yeah, because comparing people to computers makes for a really valid argument...

  18. Re:Which console am I a fanboy of, ostrich man? on U.S. PS3 Game Prices Staked At $59.99 · · Score: 2, Funny

    hey, calm down there, turbo.

  19. Re:Packaging? on Optimus Mini Three OLED keyboard reviewed · · Score: 1

    it's just the location of the X button. It's not a big deal whatsoever.

  20. Re:Packaging? on Optimus Mini Three OLED keyboard reviewed · · Score: 1

    that wouldn't affect anybody who has ever used a playstation.

  21. Re:Strange on Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony · · Score: 1

    I thikn, by getting the ps3, you already, if you are resourceful, have cheap computing power that you can put to good use.

  22. Re:Okay, I think I stand for all of us when I say. on Jack Thompson Files Take-Two, Rockstar Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    watch penn & teller's Bullshit, I believe scouts are addressed in episode 4. They are a far less friendly activity than video games. Oh, uh, also... take a look at their origins...

  23. How the deal work on What Actually Happened to TechTV? · · Score: 2, Funny

    1) Start company
    2) Buy out a competition company
    3) ???
    4) Profit.
