Here. Why? Because the first thing I thought of reading that headline was “There was a PC port of DMC4?” And I’m almost always up to date on my game news. Imagine how the casual customer feels. Promotion, people! It’s generally required for sales.
Sorry guys, but some people are just dumb. Just plain idiotically stupid and there’s no way around it. Just read, I’m not going to say anymore.
This, and with the amount of corruption in the legal system there’s a chance they might very well get away with it. I know this is just an addition to the case, but it brought it to mind again for me.
What this amounts to is: “We don’t like the law, so let’s just ignore it [...]
Many of the muffins are rapidly losing faith in Emilie Autumn. Maybe this has something to do with it. Tracks on the upcoming Girls Just Wanna Have Fun/Bohemian Rhapsody EP (alphabetical, not real order):
Asleep (Live)
Bohemian Rhapsody
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Asylum Edit)
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun (Teatime Edit)
Girls Just Wanna Have [...]
After Jay pointed it out to me, I noticed that the last two posts were showing up as having been written by Codeman. While it would be cool to actually see Codeman around here again, he’s not writing at the moment - those two posts are both by me (Pacdan). I was logged into the [...]
That Windows usability is an epic failure. And that’s why I don’t get all this anti-Vista BS. In my experiences, Vista is more stable (not saying much), more compatible, and much easier to use than XP ever was. Why anyone would insist on staying with XP when, although it has it’s issues, Vista works far [...]
OK, so Rapidshare seem to have decided to drop the absolutely ridiculous cat vs. dog CAPTCHA’s. Good, right? Not with what they’ve come up with for a replacement:
What the heck is that? Pseudo-3D landscape CAPTCHA? Why do they expect us to put up with this crap when there’s many better services out there, some without [...]
In addition to adding no real features of note and not delivering on the improvements in resource consumption that were promised (it may be better, but it’s still a memory hog), Firefox 3 broke my sidebar - apparantly over an objection to the h2 tag. I’ve got it more or less fixed, at least for [...]
A hit list of four people on a piece of paper does not a plot to commit murder make. Seriously, try finding a high school student who doesn’t hate four people in their school - I guarantee you can’t. Just because someone was (a) stupid enough to write down the people they hate on a [...]
Windows Media Player (11) takes 14 seconds to add a song to my playlist. 14 full seconds (I really timed it). Isn’t that just a little bit ridiculous? Add it to my long list of complaints with the program, it’s still not going to stop me from using it (at least not yet). Still seems [...]
Is nothing sacred anymore? Why did the History channel feel the need to get so damned political??? Is there no escape from this madness? I mean, that’s what you’re supposed to be able to watch while there’s nothing on without it being actually involving, basically as background noise. This is absurd!
PS: Yes, I did write [...]
Under the category of: How Stupid Can You Get, Grand Theft Auto 4 is making headlines. Why? For the same reason all the other games in the series have. I’ll give you guys a hint, you tried it three times already - it didn’t work. Why? No one cares. First amendment and stuff, you know [...]
That is not a CAPTCHA. That is retarded. How is anyone ever supposed to read it, not to mention picking out only the letters that have a cat on them, which was a stupid idea to begin with. I had nothing against CAPTCHA codes, back when they were short and readable, but the system has [...]
That programmers these days are completely incompetent when the little application that goes with the fingerprint scanner manages to be using over 1GB of RAM. No lie. I have no idea how you manage to do that, but it’s pretty damned ridiculous.
In my fucking face. What wasn’t dead before certainly deserves to be now, and it looks like my video card and the wireless receiver for my keyboard and mouse were already toasted. Why me? Why me? Why me? And it smells like burnt power supply in here again (for the uninitiated, it’s a fucking vile [...]
While putting cats and dogs over your CAPTCHA’s may make them harder to read by automated programs, it also makes them near impossible to read (at least in some cases) by normal people - so please knock it off.
Yours sarcastically,

Completely ignoring the fact that by letting the 360 gain this much ground Sony already lost the console wars, PS3 fanboy has 10 reasons why they think the PS3 is still relevant this year, only one of which is actually well, relevant.
1. Blu-Ray Won: Yes, so PS3 will probably become the dominant HD movie player [...]
At least we wouldn’t have to deal with this bullshit. An ad for Hitler Hilary Clinton immediately followed by an ad for Barack Obama. I despise politics. Actually I just despise advertising in general, but political advertising is even worse.
For this:
We have e-mail, we have real IDE’s, we have technology. This is just obscene, not to mention exceedingly difficult to use. Oh, and did I mention the part about the teacher not speaking English?
To the two people who have had their comments awaiting moderation forever. I kind of hadn’t checked the comment queue in a while, doh! The one on “Completely, Utterly Screwed” is actually worth going back there for, that’s like second page now. Need to check that more often.
With the word genre? According to Dad, music now has a “gender,” while Marc says it something like “jen-ree.” No wonder school system is going down the drain.
Shoddy AI programming. Actually, there’s a very good excuse…AI is pain in the ass, but my point is if you can’t complete a mission after 15+ tries (Avalanche in campaign mode in Unreal Tournament 3) because 3 AI teammates can’t hold down a node that you could have held all by yourself, there’s a problem. [...]
Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been delayed yet again, this time to March 9th. I think they need to rename this one Super Smash Bros. Forever, and maybe they’ll actually get it out the door before Duke.
I passed Linear Algebra with a D. ROFL
I only passed one test. I failed another and didn’t take another or the final, and he gave me a D.
Most excellent. Hahahahaha!
Must mean I’m the man.
My damned wisdom tooth is coming in where there isn’t space for it and it hurts like hell. Of course, it’s not like I’ve been reminding Mom to make me an appointment since before Thanksgiving. At first there was a problem with the insurance not wanting to pay for it, but that’s been settled for [...]
I just found something I’d put on a CD (years ago) with the intention of making fun of. It’s from an advertisement for Verizon DSL advertising it as 768 kiloBYTES. Damn, I wish I could get that much Internet speed for a low monthly rate (for the non-technical users, the appropriate term would be kilobits [...]
Like when Windows Media Player (11) randomly decides certain MP3’s are corrupt and won’t play them, even though they work fine with any other media player, but then is fine with them once you use Quintessential Player to re-tag them. Not calling Microsoft programs shoddy or anything like that.
How stupid you feel when you get to your math test and don’t have a calculator? Very, immensely, profoundly stupid, that’s how stupid you will feel. Fortunately I was able to steal borrow someone else’s once they were done and complete the foolish thing without any further disaster. I actually think I did pretty well, [...]
To someone who I unfortunately haven’t seen since my graduation party: Alex Gunn, whose birthday was the 24th if I’m remembering correctly (which I’m probably not). It’s pretty damned sad that I don’t remember, I’m too young to have this bad memory. Anyways, happy late birthday, even though you’ll most likely not be reading this [...]
