    @onigedaki: Agreed! Gotta mention Pro-Keds when talking about gaming shoes. I was lucky enough to find the Asteroids and Pac-Man versions in my size. I wear them on special occasions. Like Tuesdays.

    @Showmeyomoves!: Okay... I was just about to post a huge rant about how I hate "gamer" clothes and how tacky it is when people try to show off the fact that they are a gamer.
    But man... If I could buy those shoes, I would wear them everyday...
    Color me bright hypocrite-blue but I absolutely would.
    Way to make me rethink my values man...
    THANKS!

    But make sure you wear the tiara backwards otherwise it means you're gay.

    @DouglasJayFalcon: Nice. That and the Princess Peaches are winners to me. If you're out there, Internet, know that you can sport visible video game themes and still look classy. I'm looking at you, Nike, or should I call you, "Let's find some $34.99 shoes in our clearance bins that have some red and gray on them and call them Nintendo Editions."

    Yep, I'd sport the Peaches and the Snakes, if I had them.

    I like the Mrs. Pac-Man slippers. I just cant justify spending that much on a pair of sneakers though. Because lets be honest, anything good in this category is expensive as sin. The only pair I would ever consider buying were the Phoenix Wright ones. The thought of kicking someone in the face with a shoe that says OBJECTION! like that is a joy I wish to experience one day.

    Also, there are WAY more articles under the Shoe tag then I ever knew about.

    Damn, I was going to be all time-travely by posting a comment here.


    Oh well, it's still been over a year since the last comment, so... helloooo frooom the fuuuutuuuure.


    In case you 2005-folk were wondering, the Revolution is going to be renamed "Wii". No, really. And you'll soon grow weary of waggle jokes.


    On the subject of jokes, you'll one day encounter a game called "Portal". Trust me when I say that "cake is a lie" will become very unfunny, very quickly. Quit while you're ahead.

    This article has been very helpful for me. I, rather embarrassingly, never realized any of these functions existed until today.


    Admittedly though there's still some features of this site that I've yet to discover how to use properly. For instance, I know how to do simple effects like bold, italic, or even making a link. However, the fancier stuff like embedded videos and added images still eludes me.

    yeah, i still drop people messages, but no one reads em these days. still, ever since the PSN/XBL/wii etc boxes got put in there, ive been a happy panda.


    id invite others to join my militia of followers, somehow 300+ strong, but i think the king of kommenters thing is done for now, so uh, only do so if you wish to encourage my current combination of whiskey & no more heroes, which really needs to finally be finished.
