  1. Re:should teach context for safe outlets on What Game Violence Can Teach · · Score: 0
    Games are supposed to be a way to virtually get out frustrations that are illegal and wrong to do in real life.

    Huh? And I always thought they where for entertainment... Likes books and TV...
  2. Re:Pre-orders are bad on Prelaunch Wii Kiosks Only at GameStop, Pre-Order News · · Score: 0

    I pre-ordered FF7:Advent children the first day they offered pre-orders. I get there and there are at least 5 copys sitting in the new release section for less than my preorder copy. It left a bad taste in my mouth for preorders.
    On the other hand, I had a friend preorder his DS and he by passed the line to get the last one in stock. Granted this is the same guy who claimed to be someone else to get the last copy of guitar hero in the area too...

  3. Love their games on Shiny Entertainment Purchased, Absorbed · · Score: 0

    But everytime I hear their name I think of the damned R.E.M song that's their namesake...

  4. Re:I have seen the future on Caller ID Watches · · Score: 0
    ...and to whisper the text of SMS messages in your head so you don't have to read them

    Great now I'll have even more voices in my head...
  5. Add one more nail on Suit Blames Videogames for Homicides · · Score: -1, Flamebait
    ...The plaintiffs accuse the corporate defendants -- Sony Corporation of America...


    So, if the blue-ray doesn't kill them maybe this will...
  6. Re:How about the PS3 or Wii? on Guitar Hero II Coming to 360 · · Score: 0

    I'm just thinking how cool using Superstar would be and what other "Guitar positions" could translate into gestures for the game.

  7. Re:I have but one thing to say about the subject on Wii Opera Browser is Free Until Next Year · · Score: 1, Funny

    Maybe it was written by "It's a Me! Mario!"

  8. Re:Stop Gravity Now! on Study Finds World Warmth Edging to Ancient Levels · · Score: 0

    5,840,000,000 isn't unfathomable... Just really big...

  9. If I remember right on PS3's Lack of Rumble May Disappoint · · Score: 0

    They took it out for space issues for their crap attempt to knock off the Wii. then found out not only does the Wii do what it does it also rumbles and has a speaker... It's at that point the loaded gun shot right in thier foot.

  10. Re:Oh well on .mobi Websites Now Available to Register · · Score: 0

    Roast over a low flamebait tag until troll is back under it's bridge

  11. Re:Don't look for business analysis in a games mag on Buy a PlayStation 3 and Sink Sony · · Score: 0

    Umm.. wait... Hasn't Nintendo been making money off it's consoles for years? In fact, I believe they've never sold a console at a loss...

  12. I can't be the only one on First Gaming Fitness Arcade Opens in CA · · Score: 0

    Who goes to the arcade and gets drenched from playing DDR for hours... This seems like a good idea.

  13. Re:This just in... on Zero-Day Team Launches with Emergency IE Patch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Ahh. Example of no good deed goes unpunished. I might not install them on my machiene, but, if someone wants to clean up the mess after Tuseday's party. I say go for it.

  14. Re:PoliSci on Which Grad Students Cheat the Most? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't think the answer of "I can neither confirm nor deny that" counts...

  15. Re:oblig. simpsons quote on Microsoft DRM To Get Even Tighter · · Score: 0

    I was hoping for the "Buy Him Out Boys" quote where Bill Gates Wrecks Homers Internet Business

  16. Perfect world enviroment on Strategies for Test Databases? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You'd have 3 servers as close in configuration as possible. One houses your production enviroment DB and the other houses your test and one for the QA enviroment. You can get away with QA and TEST in the same server but you REALLY don't want a devoloper to crash the test box or bog it down with a bad query when they're doing QA.

  17. Golden Age? on Another Golden Age of Gaming? · · Score: 0

    I'm not sure we'll ever reach the craze of the old NES but if anyone can really bring a golden age back to consoles it's the big N. As for TTG/CCG, I think the smaller companys are making more great games.

  18. Smaller than I expected on Katamari Damacy - A Critique · · Score: 0

    Maybe a little bigger next time?

  19. Re:great on Spamhaus to Ignore $11.7M Judgement · · Score: 0

    Didn't someone sue when they fell on a knife after breaking into someone's house and won or is that just an myth?

  20. Meter Actual on Measuring the Energy You Use? · · Score: 0, Informative

    A lot of times energy companys just make an estimation of that you bill SHOULD be. If it seems unually high you can request them to come and get an actual reading on your meter. If you're meter still reads high then you should start checking the things that the others have posted about. Not only may this identify that there IS a problem but could also save you some coin on the bill. At least that's how it works in the private sector.

  21. Answer to lifes problems on The Drawbacks of Anonymous Surfing · · Score: -1

    I know some places what someone who will just do well in the environment and will train them on the parts they don't know after they get a body in the chair that won't crack when all hell breaks loose.

  22. Re:He missed the best one... on Outré USB Gadgets · · Score: -1

    Hehe if the button was programable to send the launch command to the missles I'd get them both for my desk in a heart beat.

  23. Re:Hacking into webservers and insertin malicous c on Next Gen Phishing Improves on Simple Spam · · Score: 0, Funny

    Or just an average day at the NSA...

  24. Obg Clerks Refrence: on Pluto Making a Comeback · · Score: -1

    Why are we walking like this?

  25. Best bet on Breaking Gender Cliques at Work? · · Score: 2, Funny

    Get the guys castrated so they don't wet themselves and yell "OMG B00bIES!"
