  1. Re:Other MMO's have/might get it right RE:AC on The Lameness of Warcraft · · Score: 1

    And thank the gods for that- the last thing the world needs is more Robert Jordans.

  2. Re:My Guesses & Opinions on Linux Users Banned From World of Warcraft? · · Score: 1

    If the issue is Warden, the reason that it's hitting Linux users is that Warden is a Windows program and Linux WoW players are using the Windows version of WoW.

  3. Re:WTF on Report Blasts "Peak Oil" Theory · · Score: 1

    ...and the fact that our ability to engage in large-scale shipping will be massively impaired if not eliminated isn't the sky falling? Hard Knock University is not an accredited school.

  4. Re:WTF on Report Blasts "Peak Oil" Theory · · Score: 1

    The only way that it can plateau is if the market is manipulated (like, say, by OPEC regulating output). In a world where supply and demand hold, there will be a peak.

    And anyway, even if there is a plateau, it's just a peak that lasts a little while before collapsing.

  5. Re:Could the Masquerade function as an MMO? on CCP and White Wolf Games To Merge · · Score: 1

    Congratulations, you never actually read Hunter: the Reckoning!

    Relying on idiot Vampire fanboys for your info about Hunter was dumb in 2000 and it's dumb now.

  6. You're kidding, right? on PC Game Market 'Becoming A Niche'? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In the gaming industry, the platform that hosts World of Warcraft and its seven million subscribers is a niche market?

  7. Re:This is Dangerous on Judge Rules Sites Can Be Sued Over Design · · Score: 1

    That would be the Mao that seized power in a violent revolution, right?

    Statistics say you'll flip on the light to discover that you've just murdered one of your children.

    I was all set to pwn the lamer, and you totally beat me to it, and beautifully, besides. Bravo, sir!

    Bah, I meant Dungeon Keeper, sorry. My mistake.

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

    Diablo isn't like Dungeon Seige, which is a Sim game. Diablo is Nethack with pretty graphics, done in realtime.

    Has to be, in order to be ready for when we adopt Chinese business practices out of a need to do so in order to compete with them.

    HAHAHAHA, "hippy communes", wow, you are Libertarian. Or maybe you're just one of those Republicans who still can't get over the Vietnam War- you guys're pretty pathetic. But hey, let's not forget what happened when we deregulated the Energy industry- there's a good number of people who died thanks to Enron's manipulations.

    Also, please continue to rant. It's adorable.

    One word for you: Energy deregulation.

    The dead of California are on your hands.

    They don't- you're really getting DSL from someone else with an Earthlink or AOL brand slapped on it, much like how the Dell 720 Photoprinter that came with my laptop is really a Lexmark with a Dell insignia.

  16. Re:Superiority of the Free Market. on Internet Connectivity Outside of the United States · · Score: 1

    The answer is quite simple: most ISPs are not competing with other ISPs, and those that are are almost never in anything more competitive than a duopoly. Since their motivation is to make money, not to provide superior service, they'll only provide superior service when they think it'll help them make money. In foreign countries which value internet access greater, the government creates the necessary incentives, since the market cannot.

    Speak for yourself, Libertarian. You folk make up a tiny fraction of the US population, with an absurdly high influence on political thought, and every single time we try something you propose it fails.

    Einstein had a word for trying the same thing repeatedly and expecting different results.

  18. The hell are you talking about? on ESR Says Linux Followers Should Compromise · · Score: 1

    20-30%? Hell, Mac's getting a ton of games lately, and they're nowhere even remotely near 20%.

  19. Wow! on Video Projector on a Chip? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Finally, the resolution of a cellphone VDU on a screen the size of a bedsheet! Amazing!

    That speech brings to mind that Crichton is a third-rate author who has built a career on writing novels about how science is scary and will kill you.

    Yeah, we wouldn't want to interfere in natural processes.

    Some people might want to beat up the elderly, but there's a reason the law doesn't support that plugin.
