  1. Now no, come gents and ladies, can't we all just settle out differences like good little Internet denizens, where we shout and bitch and TYPE IN ALL CAPS and call the other person a fag? That's the real way to settle this conflict.

  2. Time to settle these console wars once and for all:

    The estimated value of http://nintendo.com is: $173,710,400

    The estimated value of http://xbox.com is: $64,184,000

    The estimated value of http://playstation.com is: $154,354,000

    Nintendo wins. And now let's compare the franchises:

    The estimated value of http://bungie.net is: $10,607,400

    The estimated value of http://zelda.com is: $68,110 (O_o)

    The estimated value of http://www.konami.jp/kojima_pro/english/index.html is: $1,251,800

    Halo wins by clear margin.

    Granted, the Zelda site itself is a specific game site, whereas the other two are for the company, but I couldn't find specific MGS and Halo sites.

    And just for kicks and giggles:

    The estimated value of http://ytmnd.com is: $19,062,400.

  3. Not to mention that the Sixaxis was pretty much ripped off of the Wiimote, and that whole innovation award was given to the PS 3 as a whole. Not sure why, I don't know see the innovation myself, but I guess they did.

    That's the only problem with fan magazines - all are guilty of having waaaaay to much fanboyism. Of course, they are fan magazines and are expected to be biased, that's a duh, but saying that Gundam is better than TP? That's how you can tell when they're going a bit too far and looking past a fairly obvious truth.

  4. Happy happy birthday, from all of us to you, we wish it...oh screw the song. Happy birthday, Pixie. Don't get too drunk tonight and wake up the next morning on top of the roof of a nearby apartment complex wearing your clothes inside out and a small dog named "Pookie" next to you. Cause that would be bad.

  5. Personally, I feel the PS4 is unlikely for the next cycle. As Sony has said, they feel that the PS3 is more than enough for both this and next generation. I think that's a load of bull, but I may be proven wrong (though I don't think it).

    Microsoft's 360 is certainly showing strong, so they'll most certainly have a new console. Nintendo's success with the Wii is probably enough to encourage them for a new console as well.

    I feel that, depending on the Wii's success, the new trend won't be graphics, it'll be innovation. The new controller seems to have really taken off, and I like that. I'm sure graphics will be bumped up, but I think that companies will be trying to out-innovate rather than out-HD each other.

    I don't think a home console from Apple is likely, seeing as they seem to like the mobile market a lot more. (Of course, I also said that MS would probably never step into the home console market. :P)

    I don't see a virtual reality home console for the next cycle, to be honest. I don't think the technology will be good enough to make it cheap, and I don't see any major company using it.

  6. I actually didn't buy this iPod, I got it used from my girlfriend (who got a new one for b-day). I've tried restore, but it won't find it on my computer. I can't revert to disc mode, tried that, so the only option is to send it off to get fixed or just pitch it. I can go back to CDs for a while, but I like it. And how long is the warranty on these?

    EDIT: and how do I format it without hooking it up to my computer? Is there a button sequence or something?

  7. So I've been recently liking my green iPod Mini a lot until the other day, when I apparently overloaded it by pushing two buttons too fast and now it's giving me a sad iPod icon. It must be fixed.

    So, here's the question I have: how's Apple's iPod repair service? How much will I have to pay? Is it ultimately worth sending it in, or should I just ditch it and buy a new mp3 player?

  8. Nice save, Old Man Time. I'll admit I almost forgot about this thread (shame on me.)

    Now, to add something relevent to the thread, I'd like to proclaim that I finally have my own copy of Smash. Hurrah! Unfortunately, that means jack without living, breathing, thinking opponents to play against. The stupid computer is... well a machine. It does super human things on a regular basis.

    The best example I've seen of stupid yet super human computer is in the Worms series of games, where they will regularly make seemingly impossible shots using the bazooka, yet will fail to notice that his guy is standing right next to an explosive barrel.

    In Smash, it's the same thing, where the computer uses seemingly impossible cheapness to kill you, yet you can easily win by figuring out their pattern.

  9. All the tracks have been tagged anonymously!
    Not really. Several of them still have comments intact.

    SPOILERS BELOW

    I especially love the one that says "Background music is a remix of Metalman's Theme from the NES game Mega Man 2; This arrangement is titled "Smooth Metal" by Zircon; original lyrics by Ghetto Lee Lewis and Reece Regino, performed by Ghetto Lee Lewis, final production and mastering by Ghetto Lee Lewis" :lol:

    Yours is recognizable too, as well as Flik's and 2p's.

    You should edit the tags better :(

    lol, just don't read the tags. It's not like I'm going to win this anyway. We got a lot better entries than I expected (I was expecting computer nerds from the internet who can't hold a note who own $5 mics or headsets).

    Also, this compo gave me a lot of ideas. I'm definitely going to try a different style next time.

    That would be me, but fortunately, Zolborn has a much better quality mic than I do, so if he hadn't been able to record us, you would have gotten that $5 recording you expected.
