Whenever you ban ANYTHING from ANYONE, someone will find a way around it. In the case of guns, crooks will find way around anti-gun laws, and will take full advantage of the fact that now every innocent civilian in the USA is unarmed. Result: crime rate goes up.

I am in full opposition to gun ...

You can access this site on your cell phone! Try it out!

Only problem is: you can't log in (or if you can, I haven't found out how, yet). The text boxes and stuff for the login page don't show up on mobile phones (probably written using a non-wireless web format?). So you can browse and read posts ...

Sometimes you just gotta wonder what developers think when they make a game. You really do.

I'm sure most of you have played Starfox Assault on the Gamecube. If not, swing by your local Walmart and play the demo.

If and when Nintendo and Atari decide to make another Starfox, they have to come up ...

Started with D2 shareware.

My dad brought the game home from work with him, and was playing it when I first noticed. It looked like the most fun I could ask for! Eventually, I got to play it myself.

Later on, I got ahold of D1, then the full version of D2. Now I have D3, meaning I have officially ...

HA! He never even TRIED to guess "WALL!" (Stopped at "Exit sign" and "Exit")

"Simple mind," indeed!

MDX

Ah yeah, Green Acres and whatever that show was w/Mr. Ed.

I think that was...Mr. Ed. :P

I can't stand Green Acres. Must be the song, must be something else, but I can't stand to watch it. Why that is, I have yet to figure out.

Anybody remember that old Mario Bros cartoon? I think it was called ...

What's your favorite classic TV show?

("Classic" being anything that was popular in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. ;))

My top two picks are Dukes of Hazzard (if you haven't already, buy this show on DVD!) and Knight Rider. I wonder if the Duke boys ever thought to challenge Michael Knight to a derby race?

Personally, I do not plan on EVER even THINKING of owning a DS. EVER. Why? BECAUSE:

1) Some games are not playable on a touch screen for me. I treid playing a multiplayer game of Metroid Prime Hunters at a Gamestop once, and got mopped when I tried to switch to missiles...which you can only do on ...

The intent of this thread was more to point out funny things you've noticed on product labels. Like the "100% Juice" with "added ingredients". Poor wording, inconsistencies, etc.

And yes, the stuff does taste somewhat like grapefruit juice, and yes, I hate grapefruit and juice.

MDX

A flare can kill a ship at 0% shields...which is rare. (Usually a ship that hits zero points shield is just half a second from being atomized, anyway.)

But I can't help but like the way they made the flares stick to the bots instead of just hit them and explode. Now you can do all sorts of fun ...

MDX

You don't have to trichord to get down them. I've flown headlong down them, AB at full burn, and have gotten through. It's more about timing your thrust and choosing the right tube to tackle.

Word of warning: Once you get in, don't start napping. There's Old Scratches in there!

MDX

Here's something I noticed on a bottle of Tropicana orange juice.

The label says 100% pure orange juice. Right next to this, it says 100% vitamin C (I understand their meaning, but they could've worded this better). Under it, it says "from concentrate, with other ingredients."

Kinda makes you ...

Just gotta warn you about that secret level: the high velocity in the tunnels will give you a headache if you play around too much with them. ;)

Other than that (and any resulting motion sickness. Better stock up on barf bags and Motrin ;)), this level's the most fun level in the SP game!

(Someone ...

D3 flares also do one point damage. The easiest way to figure this is to watch your shields when Guidebot pegs you with one (he does, and he will as long as he's out).

(One time Guidebot pegged a Stinger right on the nose with a flare. And in D3, they stick, so I've got this robot with a flare ...

MDX

Secret level 2. That level is FUN! (Toast all robots in this level, and enjoy your magnetic-lift high-velocity playground.:mrgreen:)

Also keep an eye out for those repair centers. They actually regenerate YOU, too! (I think you have to hit a switch or something before they'll work.)

As for the ...

I was listening to Paul Harvey the other day, and he mentioned something that caught my interest.

He said that a scientific study had concluded that attending weekly church services promoted good health. The study also showed that the mortality rating for churchgoers was drastically less than that ...

I always figured they'd make the new Batman cartoon kinda weird-looking, so I'm not surprised to see that the Batmobile got "dorkinized" for it. The front head-on view (seen as Batman jumps into it) looks kinda cool, but doesn't make up for the rest of the car, which looks like a Matchbox wannabe ...

In real life, you can't jump super-high to get anywhere in a single bound.

In real life, you can't speed up or slow down at teh press of a button.

In real life, you can't blast away ten robots at once with a gun the size of the state of Texas.

In real life, you can't fly space ships through space ...

Okay, Brownian motion wouldn't effect mass weapons, but the ship at least should move around just slightly (barely noticable unless you're really watching).

Electric weapons could be used in some cases where you have to charge up an underwater generator or something. Then your ship becomes a giant ...

MDX

Ships would move slower in water, but would also be harder to knock around. Projectile weapons and missiles would go slower, but move around slightly as a result of Brownian motion. Energy weapons would have a wider area of effect, but severely limited range. Electro-weapons would zap the ship that ...

MDX

Watch the walls, keep your ears open. If you start hearing robot noises and weapons fire OR see random flashes coming from a certain area...get moving. You're about to get hammered with fusion and concs!

Duper and Snoopy: I think he means D1.

While not exactly creeped out by them, I'm not especially fond of the commercials, either. Whatever happened to the days of Kid Vid and the gang? I'd take them over that freaky king any day!

As many of you have noticed, the schools in the US have been dumbed down to allow more kids to have a chance at a better life. This is one area both Democrats and Republicans actually agree on.

I, on the other hand, don't think the problem is with the kids growing dumber. I think it's all these ...

MDX

What an idiot! Stabbing someone over a stupid sword in a video game?

Good thing about D3: you don't have to leave your comp to unleash your wrath upon the heathen that darest rob you of your Fusion cannon!

Just keep and eye out for some Black Sharks.

MDX

Use bombs (prox mines will do, but I prefer to use smart bombs, if you've got 'em). If they don't blow before you can get a clear shot, shoot them while keeping an eye on your HUD messages. As soon as you see "door opened!" you turn and AB for all your worth! (I'd suggest setting markers in the ...

MDX

Don't D1 and 2 support VR helmets? I think they do. The only trick is getting your hands on one (what are they, $1000 a pop?).

MDX

Yeah. If only D3 Fusion did that!

Anyone using the thing would OWN everyone else!

I haven't been able to go online (and STILL can't) because of one reason or another. The most recent reason is I made the STUPID mistake of packing both my game and my joystick away.

Maybe after I move, and I have my stuff in my hands.

And after you destroy the towers, you can have fun rolling the balls from the top of the towers around. (Watch them go up as the smaller towers explode, then come back down. You should see a black smoke trail behind each one.)

I've lived with dogs all my life.

Some breeds of dogs can (and will) attack a human being for no good reason. I've got a scar (you can barely see it, but it's there) from a coon hound puppy bite (puppies tend to have much sharper teeth than adult dogs). However, most dogs, if raised and treated ...

With all that heightened security since 9-11, you'd think they coulda stopped something like some jerk with a laser pointer.

I don't trust news reporters. They're too notorious for blowing things outta proportion when they're no big deal. Someone so much as sneezes in court, the press is all over it. Whenever they show a high-speed chase (like the one just last week that went through THREE COUNTIES), I watch the chase and ...

Just call up the SPCA or soemthing! Let THEM worry about the stupid cat! Then you don't have to do the legal limbo with the owner, and the cat can be put down if necessary!

In that case, I withdrawl latter statements.

My first statement still stand, for those who don't understand what a laser actually is.

One time, in the final boss fight, I had the bouncing-weapons cheat on. I charged up my fusion, and let him have it.

The fusion blobs flew threw the boss, hit the opposite wall, flew back the other way (through the boss), hit the other wall, etc. Plus, the shot multiplied passing through him ...

A LASER is a CONCENTRATED BEAM OF COHERENT LIGHT. The word "laser" is actually an abbreviation for " l ight a mplification by s timulated e mission of r adiation". Laser light is a concentrated stream of amplified light and radiation. This is why it's advised NOT to point on into people's eyes!

If you need a nonlethal way to teach them cats a lesson, I suggest using paintballs.

1) They're quiet. No loud booming noise to disturb the neighbors.

2) Nonlethal. At 20+ feet, the balls just splatter and hurt, maybe leave a welt. Worst part is having to wash the stuff off the cat.

That way, no ...
