Mass Deduction (née scrapking)'s discussions

Damn, Halo Wars has good cutscenes. Love that game. (And I normally detest pre-rendered cut-scenes in FPSs, but in an RTS it seemed to fit). Read more

LOL, comment of the day right here. :) Read more

I don't know about faster. I have yet to see a smartphone that could match the 360's triple-core Power-based CPU (each core clocked at 3.2GHz), let alone the capability of the 360's GPU. Read more

I went cold turkey on all forms of pop for a while, and after that I didn't miss it any more. The last time I did try a sip, it tasted grossly-sweet rather than delicious. Read more

I stopped drinking all pop/soda over a decade ago. I'm still amazed that people drink that stuff. Read more

I don't think it would be that much different. The days of multiplatform games being the biggest sellers and most important games generally is here. As consoles get more powerful and games correspondingly get more expensive, there's little incentive to have platform-specific games. Most people I know with either a… Read more

Thanks for the tip. And nice to see another commenter with a Yamato/Star Blazers-themed icon! Read more

It should be "Chip and Dal3". :P Read more

The original show was simply called "Transformers". Read more

Didn't Beast Wars also touch on the idea that the Autobots might not be that good, with suggestions that the leaders of the Maximals (back on Cybertron) might have made some questionable decisions themselves? Or am I misremembering it? It's been a while since I've watched them (though I have the first season box set… Read more

I'm excited about YouTube. But I actually have to log in to YouTube to use it? I rarely bother to do that, I just go to the site and watch what I want without logging in. Wonder what you username/password is, I created it a tonne of years ago... Read more

I sometimes forget some people don't have Gold. I mean, in a worst-case scenario you can just get a buddy to add you to their Gold Family Pack, right? Everyone I know has Gold, either paying for it directly or mooching off of someone else's. Read more

That's definitely not true. I am super-stoked about YouTube and Rogers on Demand. YouTube on the big screen will be nice (there are a few subtitled videos on YouTube that are hard to read on my computer monitor, and should be much better now). I'm hopeful Rogers on Demand will let me dump cable entirely. So to say… Read more

Isn't that usually the way though? Read more

I know a lot of people who would rather not be told, provided it's still not on-going. Blissfully ignorant, as it were. Read more

I was cheated on once, and that made it harder not to cheat in return (even though two wrongs don't make a right). Read more

I once had a scare that a girlfriend was doing things behind my back, going to BDSM sites, reading erotic fiction (something each of us had promised not to do without the other present)... turns out she was setting up a huge scene for us, I came to her apartment only to find she had handcuffed herself to the bed in… Read more

I question how valuable this is. Look at how the 360 continues to outsell the PS3 despite the PS3 having the greater wealth of exclusives in recent years. The gaming market has changed from the days where exclusives were virtually the be-all, end-all of how people decided what system they wanted. Now Call of Duty… Read more

And thank you for taking the time to actually count the number of button presses to get to various sections, I was about to do that and found you'd done it for me (which I appreciated). :) Read more

By "TF:A" I take it you mean "TF:Animated" rather than "TF:Armada" (as the former seems generally considered good, whereas the latter seems generally considered poor)? My bad for not specifying in the OP. :) Read more
