Earth Hour and WoW {WoW}
Mar 29th 2008 8:23PM No, it will *not* send a message to businesses and governments about how serious people are today about the environment. It will send the message that we are a nearly mindless horde of drone who love our bread and circuses and may just make some sort of symbolic gesture of no lasting practical value. And we may not even do that very well:
"You need not feel pressured to unplug everything"
Jesus. Rather than work on reducing our long term energy consumption habits, you suggest we feel wonderful about ourselves while sitting in the dark for an hour. It sends a message to the powers that be, all right: We are all idiots.
Dreamcast.com converted into phishing scam, Sega warns {Joystiq}
Mar 11th 2008 4:51AM You know, in spite of all this, does anyone else get the idea that everyone is still just happy for a reason to talk about the Dreamcast again? I've never seen a console looked back on with such a warm, friendly glow in the rose-colored glasses of nostalgia.
Even I'm not immune. I dug out my copy of Typing of the Dead, the greatest typing program ever and almost solely responsible for my ability to touch-type. I mean, which whould you rather have:
"Type this sentence as fast as you can. Then try and beat your speed."
OR
"Type this sentence right. freakin. *now*. Or ZOMBIES WILL EAT YOUR FACE."
God destroys young man's PS3 with dust [update] {Joystiq}
Nov 10th 2007 8:52PM I think Frank is a plant. No, no, I'm not saying Sony bought him out, even *they're* not that stupid. I think he's an ingenious ploy by Microsoft to post here and make all PS3 fans look functionally retarded.
Xbox 360 outsold PS3 in Japan last week {Joystiq}
Nov 9th 2007 2:14PM We know. Xbox has absolutely *no* chance in Japan. None. And we all know it.
That's why to see the PS3 come in behind something that even the most strident Xbot *knows* is a failure, even for a week, is enough to make us sit up and take notice. "Whoa, they must be doing worse than I thought."
Sony gets head in the game with new PS3 ads {Joystiq}
Nov 1st 2007 8:24PM Everyone seems to like the new ads. I'm probably the only one who thinks it makes the PS3 look like a giant ball of screaming obnoxious.
Yeah, I'm just an old man who thinks a PS3 will clash with his tea cozies.
It's not even a Sony dig. Or a dig at all, for that matter. Game console commercials have always been like this: EXTREEEEME!
Rumor: BioWare's mystery MMO based on KOTOR {Joystiq}
Oct 22nd 2007 9:22PM Stop making sense, you fool! Let me have my dreams.
Rumor: BioWare's mystery MMO based on KOTOR {Joystiq}
Oct 22nd 2007 9:13PM Oh hell *yes.* If anything could pry another $15 a month out of my wallet, it would be WoW with lightsabers.
MS offers free replacements for scratched Halo 3 discs {Joystiq}
Sep 26th 2007 1:40PM What... the *hell*?
It was an offhand comment, certainly not justifying that freakin' *novella*.
Why do people give credit for Microsoft over RRoD? Because they admitted there was a problem and are trying to fix it. I'm not so naive to think they would have done it out of the kindness of their hearts if there hadn't been a massive consumer outcry, but it's still more than Sony did for my Disc Read Error.

Sep 26th 2007 12:16AM Meh. I feel it's the same situation as the RRoD. It shouldn't have happened. But now that it *has* happened, at least they're acknowledging it and doing something about it.
Is the PS3 above the average consumer's 'price ceiling'? {Joystiq}
Sep 11th 2007 11:26PM Ahahahahahahaha!
You are a right ass, good sir. And I swear I don't mean that in a bad way. That's the hardest I've laughed all day.
