@NoelVeiga: I keep mine in safes. Safe from criminals, but still useful to me in a pinch.

@NoelVeiga: But you don't live in an ideal world. Neither do I. Behaving as though you do when you don't is irrational. "We don't have guns" is a fantasy. In the UK and Oz, criminals have guns, just the law-abiding folks don't.

@NoelVeiga: Re-read this:

@NoelVeiga: So, some guy breaks into your house in the middle of the night, and you want to be completely defenseless if he decides to kill you to cover his tracks? Or you're walking in the park in the evening, and some mugger decides to beat you to death so he can take your money? Much as I hate to say it, there…

@NoelVeiga: Instead of unnecessarily living your life in terror of guns, go to the local range and take a handgun or rifle class. They're tools to be treated with respect, but their presence alone shouldn't inspire fear.

@deafblindmute: oes it make you shoot faster? No, because the fired cartridge pushes back the slide, hits the ejector, and gets pushed out. The other half of that is the slide then recoils forward and pushes the next round of our magazine into battery. Having the spent shell fall out ever so much faster doesn't matter…

@ddhboy: I think you're overestimating "grudge" and underestimating the licensing and implementation costs. Microsoft didn't even have DVD support in Windows until Vista Home Premium.

What the hell does the drive have to do with viewing 3D BR-Ds? The drive reads data. It doesn't care what the data is. The software and your display hardware is what lets you output in 3D.

@Snow leopard: IT'S A FIRE (sale). OH MY GOD THE HUMANITY!

If you want some nice, high-res pictures of the sun, google for "helioviewer" or "jhelioviewer".

@bitslammer: That was my experience, too. I ran a Linux software RAID5 storage server for a number of years, and it was not exactly the hassle free experience that was promised. Keep in mind that I was president of the local LUG back in the day and a professional Linux sysadmin, so I knew a thing or two about the…

@Tre_Green: Hey, stop being an elitist prick. I enjoy Mafia Wars just as much as a fair few "real" games, if not more. I don't love all the stuff Zynga does to promote it, but the game itself I find it be fun... and newsworthy.

@SpishackCola gives all glory to the HYPNOTOAD!: I agree. If they had released with all of the Japanese updates from the start, it might have had a better chance. As it was, it was literally just the beta.

@Kyolux [TSP_David]: Idea Factory is developing it... it's going to be a mess. And I own X-Edge.

Nice hat, Two Fry. *BAM*

I was having a reasonably good time with this game on the PSP, so I might think about grabbing it on the Wii...

They need a standardized controller INTERFACE, not a standardized controller. "Here's a Bluetooth protocol and each console has its own software to figure out the properties and config of said controller".

@brass2themax: Maybe all of YOUR PS2 online games, but even then I'd be surprised. Most PS2 games with online support saw their servers pulled a long time ago.

Sounds like they should have tossed up a copy of the Blood Bowl tabletop manual online!

@MSUHitman: Neither. It was an optional boss in the US version that you didn't even need to fight - just got you some unlockable pictures and such, IIRC.
