  • DCJoeDogaswell, on 12/21/2007, -4/+224Same *****, Different year. That pretty much sums up ALL sports games in general.

    They should release them when they actually make improvements beyond what a free roster update could do.
  • Phantom1045, on 12/21/2007, -3/+158Halos title should actually be:
    "Sign onto live to experience 12 year old brats use every swear word in their vocabulary 847 times."
  • Postmodernism, on 12/21/2007, -14/+123Duke Nukem Forever's Box: As real as Iraqi WMDs
  • Aharoni, on 12/21/2007, -5/+112If Wordpress had a box, what would it say, I wonder?
    "Wordpress: Can support up to 2 visitors... per month!"
  • Jeuk, on 12/21/2007, -1/+96Crysis: "Your Computer is Worthless: 20 FPS and Falling!"
  • icianom, on 12/21/2007, -12/+102What would they put on the cover of the actual Consoles?

    Wii: If you can read this then you've found one. Well done.
    360: Special units contain amazing red light display! 1/3 Chance of winning!
    PS3: We'll get some games..... Soon.... Have you seen home yet? It's kinda good! Right?
  • icianom, on 12/21/2007, -1/+44Careful now, with that kind of mouth they'd call you a 'fag' or 'noob' or something equally eloquent.
  • DanteDefiance, on 12/21/2007, -5/+44What does "laugh out loud" stand for?
  • spudnic, on 12/21/2007, -0/+39That was the joke.
    Idiot.
  • acceleration, on 12/21/2007, -5/+39Mirror: http://calloftheday.net.nyud.net/?p=128
  • Intenseboredom, on 12/21/2007, -0/+33Wait... Wordpress went down?
  • dongcha9, on 12/21/2007, -0/+31But then they wouldn't make sooo much money.
  • MasterInsan0, on 12/21/2007, -16/+45Wow. Dugg down for ripping off Yahtzee Croshaw on his Half-Life 2 edit. The real deal:
    http://www.escapistmagazine.com/articles/view/edit ...


  • Daveydje, on 12/21/2007, -4/+32Dugg for changing the title of 'Star Wars Galaxies' into 'This Game Used To Be Fun'.
  • wastedlife, on 12/21/2007, -1/+27WoW: Crack is better for your health.
  • Spuy767, on 12/21/2007, -0/+25It's good to hear that he doesn't own stolen systems.
  • BobsYourUncle, on 12/21/2007, -0/+23Turns out, I can't play in the NHL. Real life has let me down again!
  • StingerMS, on 12/21/2007, -4/+25Did anyone else enjoy part 1 a LOT more?

    I kind of felt like he just made a second part for Digg hits.
  • jaytea90, on 12/21/2007, -1/+22it's like surprise buttsecks without the surprise
  • Inferny, on 12/21/2007, -1/+21Anyone got a mirror? It's wordpress, need i say more?
  • nedev, on 12/21/2007, -3/+22Boy, am I glad SA totally never did the exact same thing.

    Because that would be embarassing.
  • banmaster, on 12/21/2007, -0/+17Hard to block em' when the site is still unavailable...
  • markwilcox, on 12/21/2007, -2/+19COME ON CALLOFTHEDAY.NET

    Youve been dugg what, 3 times and you've gone down every single time!
  • strictnein, on 12/21/2007, -1/+18Am I the only Halo 3 player that just mutes everyone when I'm not playing a team game?
  • pk7677, on 12/21/2007, -2/+17Halo3: Guide To Teabagging
  • staticneuron, on 12/21/2007, -8/+22Its funny you say this, I am lucky with a my 360 that hasn't been graced by a RRoD and now I own more games on PS3 than any other console. And the Wii's were easy for me to find. I got one for my baby sis.
  • Cloudime, on 12/21/2007, -0/+14Blitz 2001(N64/DC), is all I have to say to you. It was the last football game that was just plain fun.
  • zeiben, on 12/21/2007, -0/+13You had more fun with games in 97 because you were 10 years closer to your adolescence. Even EA can't stop the brutal, numbing plod toward adulthood.
  • NJank, on 12/21/2007, -0/+12wow, he made the same confusion of logic that my son often makes. He's 3.
    Idiot.
  • TheBlindGuy, on 12/21/2007, -0/+11RIP Star Wars Galaxies.
  • ineedaname, on 12/21/2007, -4/+15The EA Sports was a good one and true. Made me laugh out loud.
  • tHePeOPle, on 12/21/2007, -0/+11It's a very thin box.
  • igjoe, on 12/21/2007, -1/+12If you read any of the text you would see that he said it was inspired by Yahtzee...
  • inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+9http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEWIw-a0GJw
  • inactive, on 12/21/2007, -0/+9and that it was :(

    stupid SOE... i'd probably still be playing it had they not ***** it up with the CU, then NGE.
  • skodaman, on 12/21/2007, -3/+12FTA:

    I’ve sorted the server out with some more RAM, so hopefully we won’t go down under any traffic rush this time.
    So please, if you enjoyed any of the above, please please don’t block the Google ads.

    Ahh well...
  • Ryansmellsfarts, on 12/21/2007, -5/+14Not sure why you're getting buried, I immediately thought of Yahtzee after reading the Half-Life 2 review.
  • nfollmer, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8Am I the only person on the planet that does NOT play WoW?
  • 4Paws, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8You can fight back in Metal Gear Solid 2.
  • benguild, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9Aaaand Wordpress error.
  • jaytea90, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9Every single digg page has at least one comment like this, it always gets digged down...you'd think people would learn?
  • Christbait, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9MGS2 should be "The demo was a trap! You don't even play as Solid Snake for the rest of it!"
  • phronko, on 12/21/2007, -0/+8I don't really understand the complaints about Half Life 2's physics puzzles. I played it recently, and there were maybe 2 "see-saw" puzzles I remember, each of which took about 30 seconds to get past. Even if they were horrible, the other 15 hours of game sorta overshadow them.
  • Feawen, on 12/21/2007, -4/+12Yeah, I never understood that. Graphics have reached a plateau so it's not like they're making it look better. I had a lot more fun with football games in 97. My brothers play Championship Manager, along with a Stables manager, cycling manager, cricket manager, everything. I really don't see why.
  • Nerfdude, on 12/21/2007, -1/+9i stick to Call of Duty. so long as you're on the Allies side, things tend to stay civil. Axis, though... you may feel out of place unless you hate "the coloreds" and "women folk"
  • banmaster, on 12/21/2007, -2/+9Saying '*****' a few times might help...
  • Ellsass, on 11/05/2008, -0/+7That concept works well when applied to racing games and GTA.
  • ryodoan, on 12/21/2007, -0/+7Damn... that sucks... you were one of the 2/3 that did not win.
  • RichLatherX23, on 12/21/2007, -0/+6SOMETHING AWFUL DOT COM
  • Hoogs, on 12/21/2007, -1/+7I feel bad for everyone trying to get their hands on a Wii. I was fortunate enough to buy one from my friend for $180 complete with around 8 virtual console games.
