I had remembered something about this award winning computer animation. I want to find out about it but all I know is that it has this character called Dennis the Dog. This Dennis character is supposed to be well known, but searching the web isn't helping. Does anyone know anything about this animation???

Why do we have new ones now? Kryo?

I see people with higher "access levels" than other people, like "Journeyman" over "Citizen". How do you go up, and what stuff can you do when you have higher access?

Iraq is still big news, after five years. This is the place where you guys can discuss things about Iraq, whether it's how things are going to end up, how the Bush Administration could be so incompetent with Iraq, how the next president will handle this conflict, whatever. Post away.   Etrius

THIS IS A JOKE, SO DON'T GET ALL PISSED!!! Here are my theories of how Starcraft II could fail (If you're a Blizzard fan boy, then you're likely to get pissed anyway): Everyone spends a week camped outside the game store to get their hands on a copy of Starcraft II. Everyone gets it, and some problems come up: 1) The game uses intrusive DRM. People get pissed. "You Blizzard people should have known better!" kind of protests. Game gets posted on torrent sites, be...

Shut down the piracy sites. There are many high profile piracy sites, such as the Pirate Bay. The government can shut down these sites. In fact, the Russian government is doing that, so why cant the U.S. follow suit. These sites are illegal, so the government should shut them down. Doing this would be like hitting piracy in the nuts. With a golf club. Plus, with less piracy, publishers wouldn't have to punish legitimate custormers with crap DRM. Everybody wins, expect pirates, and those ba...

That idiotic, game hating, son of a b*tch is at it again! Old Jack tried to get a bill passed that would severely punish retailers for selling M-rated games to minors. The governer of Utah vetoed to bill, using the same reason that has killed Jack's attempts to destroy gaming in the past: the freaking First Amendment. Old Jack just doesn't learn. What really annoys me is this guy's nerve. He got disbarred as a lawyer in Florida, and now he's in Utah. Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't a disba...

EA seems to be finally wanting to correct it's errors regarding DRM, as the Sims 3 ISN"T GOING TO USE ONLINE DRM!!! All you have to do is type in a disk code, just like you used to do. I think this is great and it shows that EA (hopefully) is going to change its DRM choices. If things keep going well, we may see patches for EA games that remove online activation and install limits from their games (Spore, Burnout Paradise), even though that may be wishful thinking. The link is here. http...

There is something in the sea!!! And it's the Bioshock 2 teaser site! Let me tell you, it's quite interesting. It's been showing the path of a mysterious being traveling through water and kidnapping little girls. The only seen that has been seen is a red light. The thing has struck the U.S. now. This is quite the mysterious site. "Photos and newspaper clippings: tell whats been going on, and well as the guy whos been following it all. I believe it is updated daily. The URL is www.somethin...

This has been going on ever since the forum was revamped. I assumed that the forum people were working on this. They clearly haven't. Can the forum people fix this?

There is an awesome band out there called Freakhouse. They just released their second full length album. I have it, and I love it. Their website is freakhouse.com . You can also listen to five of their songs at their Myspace page. Seriously, check these guys out. You wont regret. If you have another band you like, be sure to let others know, especally if the band isn't well known. Its good to give bands well deserved publicity.

Well, there's always debates whether PC's or consoles are better. I've put together a comparison list, so you can decide for yourselves. PC Advantages: Can have better graphics than any current console. (PC's are the reason consoles exist) Much more powerful. (Core i7 and 8 gigs of DDR3 RAM, anyone?) Is the best at many game genres, like FPS, RTS, and of course, MMO. Can do a lot more than just play games. Customizable, and very upgradeable. Has some great exclusive games. C...

I recently had my computer's OS restored, and now when I try to put my computer into Sleep (stand by) mode, it goes into sleep mode briefly (the light blinks as usual), and then the system turns itself back on again. This is extremely irritating. Can anyone help me?

As you may have heard, part of South Park's newest episode has been censored because it talks about the Prophet Muhammed and shows him in a bear suit, joking about the fact that Muhammed can't be shown in a picture. Now Muslim groups are making threats to South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, and Comedy Central caved in and censored part of the episode. Reading the story just pissed me off. Political Correctness (also known as double standards) has run amok. Why can Muslim extr...

(Before discussing anything, please keep your post within forum guidelines so this thread doesn't get locked) In my opinion, American culture and society involving technology, games, and the other media is seriously screwed up. Look at all the stuff about it. These days, its perfectly acceptable to show someone getting mutilated and a building being destroyed with untold numbers of innocent people dying, but when a boob is shown, or a sex scene, people heads freaking explode. I mean, why? ...
