A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Overkill much?
And seriously, if Optimus Prime was a PC, this is it. That damn robodude is always the biggest of everything.
hes smaller than megatron :I
speaking of which... anyone know why megatron didnt use that glowing sword (that comes out of his arm) when fighting megatron in the last fight scene? (too effective?...)
of the movie btw not the tv shows
@DiscoCat5
Dude,You Fail.
Original:" anyone know why megatron didnt use that glowing sword (that comes out of his arm) when fighting megatron in the last fight scene? (too effective?..."
Edited:" anyone know why Optimus Prime didnt use that glowing blade (that comes out of his arm) when fighting megatron in the last fight scene? (too effective?..)
I assume thats what you meant.
@ Ace
Same idea here. I thought "huh.. I don't remember Megatron fighting himself..." Be cool if they had like schizophrenia or something though.
"Let's kill these humans"
"No! They're innocent!"
"KILL THEM!!"
"nooo!!"
Smeagol (Gollum) type thing, you know?
Looks like a car that has been in a crash. Even the wiper blades didn't survive the crash.
And they're all smaller than Omega Supreme whose teeny compared to Unicron or Primus.
haha yes i guess i need to proofread my messages a bit better :p, but of course i meant megatron, but seriously anyone know why he didnt?
and before you pull me up for saying megatron, that one was sarcastic... just covering myself, never know what some poeple think on the net.
so in summary,
why doesnt OPTIMUS PRIME use the glowing sword that extends from his arm in the final battle scene when he is fighting MEGATRON?
could itb e that it would be too effective? thus changing the series of events after that battle.
and that pc looks pretty cool too. out of my price range though :(
No love for DDR3?
Pricey and doesn't really deliver the performance over DDR2 (yet). Although this rig is pricey in the first place, so, eh, whatever...
I think DDR3 will start to become more popular with Nahalem late this year/early next year.
I challenge anyone to come up with a more overtly sexual tagline.
I defy anyone to buy this and not admit major sexual inadequacies.
Here you go:
Faster. Deeper. Harder. LONGER!
Yeah, wow. Good job acer.
By the way, you're not allowed to own one of these rigs if you live within 5 miles of an elementary school...
"this computer is like boning Jessica Alba"
Do I get a cookie?
What about ... "WETTER" as in it's so wet.
It's liquid cooled so that line would be accurate.
A sexier tagline surprised nobody else has thought of it already...
"iPredator"
I wonder if Apple will ever bring a gaming system/console to the market place.
Penetrate your games!
Martin, I also thought up "iPwn". See how it rhymes with iPhone? :)
Obligatory bit follows:
That's what she said...
what about The Sexual Predator:
Pwn some noob and T-bag him halo style!
...thats what she said!
what does it do deeper?
I like the overall design of the case though... its kind of cool and it doesn't look like anything i've seen before
cough* http://www.engadget.com/2008/03/04/video-hands-on-with-the-gmc-bulldozer-r4-computer-case/
but seriously.... HD-DVD?! that better be a no-cost add-on!
Jesus. That thing looks like the lovechild of Optimus Prim and a Super Nintendo.
@colin
Not surprising: its supposed to look like a giant clitoris.
The case does look quite deep as does it's height. Width looks pretty normal though.
@Mike
The clitoris is just a myth. How could they design it to look like something they've never seen before?
Paint it red with gold highlights, add in a little logo, and an extra $500 on to the price tag.
What do you have then?
The official Iron Man rig.
Guess what that sound is.
The sound of the Acer marketing, design and finance departments kicking themselves.
Harder Better Faster Stronger!
How did they get Shirow Masamune to design a case for them?
Anyone else think that thing is rockin an Iron Man Mk III look?
It would be much cooler if the front cover served a purpose other than to make it look like Iron Man's travel bag. I wonder if they also offer a blue glowing round mouse that attaches to your hand, a hud, and a radial keyboard (like in the movie).
so how much is this?
Add a few more angles and moving parts and I'm sold!
I can't find a good reason to care. Go Orange!
Oh comeon, 8GB ram? a quad core?
HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF THE MAC PRO?!!!!!!!!!
Mac Pro
2x3.2GHz Quad Core
32GB Ram (Upgradeable to more)
4 Hot Swappable HDD bays
And UNIX, OpenGl, etc.
Wow! Those specs makes the Mac Pro the ultimate gaming rig! Doesn't it...?
Build the best Mac PRO and then go build a PC with exactly the same spec, compare prices and wonder how a fucking Apple case costs ~5k.
Oh comeon, 32GB ram? Eight core?
HAVE YOU NEVER HEARD OF BLUE GENE/L?!!!!!!!!!
Too lazy FTY, why don't you go try?
Two Xenon processors, yadda yadda
Oh, and it also can't sound like a jet.
And now for the mandatory comment: Does it play Crysis?
Yes, very well, if you boot windows on it.
This mother will run vista ultimate 64 bit with crysis with ease
"This mother will run vista ultimate 64 bit with crysis with ease"
And so does my rig...except I payed half that.
WTF is with the Iron Man case tho? Scratch that...what the hell is the deal with overcompensation on all facets of this computer?
And now for the mandatory reply:
It obviously does, it isn't worth asking, and the only way your comment could be considered manditory would be if your goal was to piss people off.
oh my jesus christ holy optimus prime batman monkey balls !
Not for the green minded.
It looks like a Japanese robot who needs some attention
