  1. I think they did it today on Rumsfeld Stepping Down · · Score: 1

    Just to change the story, i.e. Dem Victory...Just wanted to say as well that when Rummy made his go to war with the army you have comment, in response to the question about lack of armor for the HumVees. A good SecDef would have said "good point about the armor, I'll go down to the motor pool and kick some @ss, you go buy as much scrap metal as you can (and let me say that right after the invasion I think there was alot of scrap metal hanging around)." But instead of acknowledging the problem and then at least trying to fix it,all he did was fix the blame.

  2. It's bad either way on Is An Uninformed Vote Better Than No Vote? · · Score: 1

    If an uninformed voter would be more likely to voter for a more Charismatic person, or lets simply say the Marketing or Marketability of a candidate or position (independent of the particular merits). Unfortunately it is alos true that smaller electorates tend to skew to the extremes, as apathy usually affects centrists and moderates before ideologues or people whom are directly influenced by the outcomes (lobbyists and special interests). P.S. Who's up for a new 3rd party...I know I am. Maybe something like: I don't care about Left or Right, but whatever will work and is worth the cost. Plenty of room for debate in that spectrum without ideologic blinders. Ideology has always been a substitute for thinking in my opinion.

  3. Re:Another World on Games That Advanced the Art of Storytelling · · Score: 1

    You got that right, now Dialogue-less story is innovative.

  4. How? on Games That Advanced the Art of Storytelling · · Score: 1

    Do you seperate advances in storytelling versus a good story? And multiple points of view/main characters isn't exactly earth shattering

  5. I'm less worried on U.S. Publishes Guide To Building Atom Bombs To Web · · Score: 1

    About Iran using this as somebody in a madrassa in one of the former Soviet republics or Afghanistan or Pakistan

  6. Evangelicals Worst Fear... on Wired's Very Short Stories · · Score: 1

    Sorry, Wrong God.

  7. Oh, you wanted... on Wired's Very Short Stories · · Score: 2, Funny

    the antidote, my bad.

  8. E.T. on The 20 Worst Games Ever · · Score: 1

    As Soon as I saw that list, I knew that game would be #1. Ah the memories and the Pain...oh the pain...so tedious...so many times to fall in the pit...over and over and over

  9. Anyone ever play Killer? on Pac Manhattan Creator Speaks Out! · · Score: 1

    from Steve Jackson games? Probably the closest I've ever been to a true outdoor computer game. Let me tell you the first time somebody car bombs you (gets into your car and turns the radio volume all the way up)is a day you don't forget.

  10. Re:The problem is 2D television. on The State Of The Platform Game · · Score: 1

    I've found that 3D platformers that use shadows while jumping help mitigate that factor. One game to utilize such was the, in my opinion much maligned Jedi Power battles. Especially if you had a friend to play with. It, also like sands of time blending it's 3D world into smaller 2D enivironment, And while its' conbat is fun the jumps can be very difficult. And I found that new players would often find the jumps far deadlier than the foes. And in a game with shared lives that that need to be carefully conserved to actually finish the game. Watching Jedi jump off of cliffs like lemmings (I know that's just a myth, Disney pushed those animals off a cliff for that film) die, respawn, jump and die again. Just saying, Shadows...they save lives.
