Shadowstitch commented on Child vs. Crane Game

"Hell, when I worked at a Namco arcade, we used to open it up and hide one of the local elementary-school age mallrat kids whose parents left them in the arcade for hours on end (The cheapest babysitter in town) inside the machine, to spook the hell out of people. He loved it -- he'd lurk under the toys and peek out, waiting for someone to play the game."

"Pfffft..."

Shadowstitch commented on TV Station: Check With Detective For Facts on Pedophile Story

"Here's another little comment that's sure to get lost in the mire of other comments: I used to work for a TV News station as a graphics guy, and as such none of this surprises me in the least."

Shadowstitch commented on John Riccitiello, Little Sister Killer

"I don't know where this image came from originally, but this is the biggest one I have in my collection... "

Shadowstitch commented on Pac-Man T-Shirt Spreads The Word

"What a terrible, terrible bootleg of an awesome shirt design."

Shadowstitch commented on Metal Gear Solid 4 DVD Humor Spoiler Alert!

""Oww...my ears are ringing.." "That's because you left the volume up on the TV." We've got ourselves a Metal Gear Mk II..."

Shadowstitch commented on Portal-Themed DS Is Case Of Wrong System, Right Idea

"The shell casing he's using there is widely available at most game accessory stores, and I've even seen it at a few dollar stores."

Shadowstitch commented on Sega Asks, "Do You Still Own A Dreamcast?"

"I'll be honest -- I got chills when I read this article..."

Shadowstitch commented on Halo 3 Laser Command Gets Priced, Photographed

"I saw some of these lying around at Fry's last night, in horribly mangled boxes, leading me to believe they were actually REALLY old merch that somehow languished on the shelves. I was shocked to see the insane prices on what amounts to a nerf gun with some lights and sounds..."

"Expansions??"

Shadowstitch commented on PC Psychic Controller Hits This Year

"I can't help but wonder if the name "Nero" came (at least in part) from the movie "Strange Days," in which Voldemort played Lenny Nero, a shady dealer of black-market mental recordings made and played using a device not unlike this one. Of course the "Squid" was much smaller, but the similarities are there."

"@Lampbane: You're totally right, it's a transparent snap-on cover."

Shadowstitch commented on Tails Goes Bargain Basement

"I remember seeing those godawful things at our Toys R Us, up on top of the game aisle displays, along with an equally deformed Mario and Sonic...back in the days when the Dreamcast gave us goosebumps and you could still score SNES games in the clearance bins. I actually live close enough that I COULD go get this is I REALLY wanted, but it's so hideous...it's like they took the US animation spec of tails (Which was pretty gross by itself) and warped it even further."

Shadowstitch commented on What's Cheaper: Used Copies, Or The Virtual Console?

"I am increasingly uneasy about this new economy that relies upon people paying real money for virtual things... People buy virtual land in Second life, buy virtual gold in MMORPGs, you pay for subscriptions to play WOW and earn your virtual items (And god help you, the WOWCCG to earn extra in-game goodies) and now everyone's making a killing off of selling virtual console games. And what happens when there's some kind of data loss or severe outage?"
