    It amazes me what people are willing to invest enormous amounts of time in.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have a life-size papercraft Link to fold together. #left4dead

    Awesome!
    But I guess it'd be more true to the original if the guy made the game more similar to Gauntlet... #left4dead

    This looks, well, boring. Very cool, but at the same time, doesn't look all that enjoyable to play. #left4dead

    @Twag86: Not really. Many only had 4 directions. This is from someone who, between 1987 and 1991 rented one NES game every weekend, usually a different one each time. #left4dead

    @eastx: You are correct. I missed a crucial "don't". But I stand by what I said nevertheless, many (awesome) games had no diagonals (Bomberman, anyone?). And yes, many equally awesome games had diagonals.

    Hell, some games made you walk on a goddamn grid...Bomberman again. #left4dead

    I used to really dislike rap but it's definitely grown on me. I kinda like the beat in this one. The graphical video is obviously amazing though. #followme

    The video is really good, but the song is pretty mediocre. And this is coming from someone who bleeds hip hop. #followme

    @CreateTheTruth: I agree. Very formulaic, "by the numbers" style, nothing we haven't heard a million times already.

    50% self aggrandizement, 40% comparison via simile and 10% talking about the geographical location that you are situated at.

    But alas, the same holds true for so many other genres of music as well. A formula for "pop" that is tried and true and seldom varieted from.

    The video did manage to keep my interest until the end, which is notable however. #followme

    This disdain for hip-hop music is disturbing. The hip-hop that is popular is like any pop music, vapid and two dimensional. There are great artists out there if you care to look. #followme
