Another victory for Chris Remo Action News! Too bad that it's going to now take longer than ever for Idle Thumbs to get new updates now that he will have to devote some time to Shacknews. But at least Idle Thumbs will get a lot more traffic with all the times they posted the link to the site in the comments section.

trailer is out http://vforvendetta.warnerbros.com/trailer.html I haven't read the comic yet but I'll probably pick it up since it's by Alan Moore who did the Watchmen. Plus I'm really tired of superhero comic books now that I've read comics that are actually good like Sin City and Watchmen (although some batman is really good)

I have the feeling that V for Vendetta is going to suck. The Wachowski brothers really aren't that good at all and Alan Moore has already complained about the film. The Watchmen film is probably going to really suck as well, they'll probably change the ending too.

Great, so now that the rest of the world has discovered modding, they're going after anything that can be inappropriate after it is modded. I hope that everyone thinks that Jack Thompson is an idiot for going this far and then they just stop listening to him. At least if it ever goes to court, EA will probably fight him off with their lawyers.

Longhorn is named

Try clicking on the link multiple times. Just now I clicked on the link 3 times, the first two times it didn't work and then it worked for no apparent reason.

Wow, I really don't know how to respond to this. It's pretty funny that you attacked me though, considering that out of all the people here, I really haven't been that vocal about my opinion. On the other hand, it wouldn't suprise me if you were telling the truth. I wouldn't be suprised if people thought I was gay because when I talk to girls I stutter and it takes forever for me to make an actualy point during a conversation, but I sound like that when I talk to anyone.

How the hell is he getting so many famous actors? Haven't they heard how terrible he is? Uwe Boll can't beat Ed Wood though. Plan 9 from Outer Space became public domain just recently so I downloaded that. Easily the worst movie I have ever seen (but hilarious) "Greetings, my friends. We are all interested in the future, for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives. And remember, my friends, future events such as these will affect you in the future."

Well it really doesn't show anything, just a table shaking. It's just as suggestive as the car shaking when you pick up prostitutes in GTA.

There is a sex mini-game. You know how you start off the level on the boat with the topless women? Well jump on top of the bed and press the circle button (which always activates the button pressing minigames). The game zooms in on a vase next to the table and you have to press the buttons that appear on screen, the more buttons you get right, the more the table shakes, and eventually the vase falls off the table and you get those red orb things as a reward.

I was reading the article and noticed the following... What the hell, what kind of parents would give their kid the same first and last name. Getting back on topic, it's sad to see him go. The original series is probably the only star trek stuff that I like (not counting the movies, but most of those suck too)

Like everyone has alreaedy said, it looks like XP. I really don't even care that much about Longhorn. Microsoft is having so many problems with it that it could turn out to be another Windows ME. I don't even like the XP skin. Sure it's pretty, but it just seems to be a lot easier for me to use the Windows classic design.

Or it could have been his friends yeah right, like he has any! OMG LOL

I really hope that Doublefine is making a DS game, it would probably be the easiest way for them to make money (which they probablly really need seeing that Psychonauts isn't doing well). It's a lot cheaper to make and it would sell well since there's a lack of games for the DS and creative games actually sell well on the DS. Plus it would be a lot easier to convert to other languages, hopefully meaning that it would also sell well in Japan because they like oddball stuff. But I think he meant "Touch" as in, he touched you and now you have a horrible disease.

I think that ever since he died, every Douglas Adams book kinda becomes depressing to read. I finished the first Dirk Gently book a couple of months ago and then became really depressed that there won't be anymore books by him and that there's no authors out there that are like him. I'm really running out of Douglas Adams stuff to read too, I have to read the 2nd Dirk Gently book, and his non-fiction stuff then I'll pretty much be done. I suppose I should listen to the first two phases of the radio show, not that I can find it anywhere in stores. I bought the tertiary phase a week ago and it was really weird hearing him do the voice of a character after his death. It's too bad that authors like him are gone while Tom Clancy continues to sell the same crap over and over.

Didn't PC Gamer USA once have a listing of pc game sales and it said that The Longest Journey only sold like 70 copies of the game, then it later turned out that they left out a bunch of things like online sales and other countries and stuff. I don't know, I just think that maybe that this is what happened to psychonauts, that maybe they only counted one way that the game could have been sold or something.

What the hell? Aint It Cool News says that they said that it has Mars, Monsters, and other Doom stuff when before, they said it didn't have Doom stuff at all and it was going to be pg-13. So......they lied to us? And if so, why?

I thought he was taken out because they had trouble animating the hat

I think so, ID Software usually releases the source code for all of its games after they have been around for a while. You can buy the first 3 doom games (Doom 1,2 and Final Doom) at Walmart for $10.

IN MY PANTS

Do you even read the news on Idle Thumbs? I forgot about Alien Vs. Predator though. That and Double Dragon 2 (for the NES) were my favorite fighters. It's great to see another brawler game, there hasn't been a half decent one in the past 10 years.
