  1. Android Studio is Excellent on Google Android Studio Vs. Eclipse: Which Fits Your Needs? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I've been an Android developer for 3 years, I've used eclipse extensively as well as Android Studio extensively. Android Studio kicks the pants off of Eclipse. The simple truth you don't realize how painful and terrible the whole Eclipse experience is until you've switched. It solved a ton of my pain points and I would never consider going back. All of my projects have been converted to Gradle, and the savings I receive from that build system are remarkable. It has its own pain points (mostly due to being a pre-1.0 release. Builds break from update-to-update, weird issues arise trying to go from eclipse to Android Studio. Gradle doesn't fully support native. So there are definitely use cases where Eclipse is still a necessary evil. But if you can go the route of Android Studio do it, you'll thank me later.

    Don't cheer, just take out your checkbook. They like the sound of money much more than cheering.

  3. Re:Is this guy a psychic? on Ten Gaming Myths Debunked · · Score: 1

    No silly! According to the article the PS3 has already been released in Japan, Indonesia, and Bulgaria... It's already sold millions.

  4. Game Never Ends on Student Game Postmortem - Chase the Chicken · · Score: 1

    The only problem with this idea is that the game will never end... Even if they do get to you and chop your head off it doesn't mean that it's over! http://www.goyk.com/video.asp?path=870

  5. Pointless Arguing on Classes vs. Skills in MMOGs · · Score: 1

    Arguing which version is better is pointless. Both have their pluses and minuses. It's like arguing whether peanut butter sandwiches are better than tuna. For some people it depends on the day. Some people never like one or the other, and some people really don't care. It's really a personal decision.

  6. Re:Duh. Wha? on Getting Into the Games Industry Isn't Easy · · Score: 1

    It's the next generation version of 'rock star.'

    Yay! That means that wanna-be rock stars like myself will have more chance because everyone else'll want to be games programmers. Wait! I want to be a games programmer too... Which means i now have less chance of getting in the field... Life is rough!

  7. Re:Press A to see something cool on Attack of the B-Grade Games · · Score: 1

    'A'

  8. Sales Reps on Google and eBay Partner for Click-to-Call Ads · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't know... The whole reason i do my shopping online is because i DON'T want to talk with people. In fact, most geeks seem the same way, it's much easier to just choose what you want, pay for it, and receive it. I don't think giving me the option to talk to a sales rep is going to boost their sales.

  9. Re:Come on! 10X Bigger than the Biggest Ever? on Discussing a Private Buyout of Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Wait... you'll thank all those people... but you won't even thank your motherf***ing mother.

  10. Re:W T F on ESR Says Linux Followers Should Compromise · · Score: 2, Funny

    I am physically fit, have diverse interests, am attractive, able to pick up attractive women and achieve full intercourse with little effort.

    Now now, let's be honest here, you're just talking about your WOW character aren't you?

  11. Re:Indie games... on Manifesto Games is Live · · Score: 2, Funny

    Indie games... for the most part suck.

    But think of all the unique indie titles and names that could be yours! Ideas of a lifetime! You could never expect non-indie companies to come out with such awesome games as "Lucky Fisherman" or "Jelly Wars" or "Boogers in my Dinner". But that's not all!! Buy our indie games now and we'll even throw in a special prize. We'll have one of our developers come to your house and build YOUR own game!

    ... Er ... Maybe the old saying IS true, Ideas are a dime a dozen.

  12. Re:How boody hard can it be? on Harvard Phd Vs. About.com over Gaming · · Score: 1

    No no no...! You've got it all backwards. 62% violent rating isn't very high at all... That means he only got a D- in his violence class. In fact that's why we've seen so many PacMan games in the past. He's trying to raise his grades so he can get into graduate school. We should demand above average grades from our video games!!!

    Well... Unless you're buying your product from Dr. Kevorkian

  14. Re:I for one... on Computer Manages Restaurant Workers · · Score: 1

    You only say that because you're hoping for a raise.

  15. Re:Hmm on In-Game Advertising Comes to Board Games · · Score: 1

    I always love when people use the word Statistically without giving any indication where those stats actually come from... That aside, I've always been taught TO use a credit card... Mostly just because of the rewards programs. If you use it like its "cash with rewards" it changes your view on it quite a bit... Of course that means you always have to have the cash to backup what you buy. And if you're curious where they get money if they're constantly paying you rewards for using their cards, there is a small fee per dollar they charge store owners for letting their shoppers use the card.

  16. Re:I can see it now... on The Robot Professor · · Score: 2, Informative

    No... no... no... you've got it all backwards. It's the robot that ends up going into the burning building to save the fireman/policeman/samaritan!
