@Reldaw: That reminds me of the days before massive information penetration when I sat on Pokemon Red going up and down a 5-tile beach back and forth, one hundred times trying to get the fabled ultra rod that would let you fish for pokemon like Pikablu. Read more

I don't know how I would handle all those idiotic incoming messages. I really don't. Read more

I've downloaded three or four of Radiangames' titles, but I have yet to try one...I went on an Indie Trial downloading rampage and, high-rated as they were, added said games to my Xbox, but due to my ridiculous fear of new things (I just finished seeing Good Will Hunting for the first time about a half hour ago) I Read more

@Wess28: Hrm...Pretty sure they don't have any control over that. Microsoft doesn't want to hand over the reigns to any asshole with an Indie game to start adding to peoples' gamerscores. That could get out of hand very quickly, and leave a big mess for Microsoft to clean up lest their gamerscore concept lose Read more

@slxiii: You nailed me if it turns out to have been a Chechen extremist, but I disagree that it is irrational to assume when one hears about a suicide bombing (as I do almost daily listening to the radio) to assume it was religiously motivated. Few other ideological concerns so motivate people to kill themselves for Read more

This just made a nerd nerve in my head pulsate. Fuck these sensationalist news outlets in every corner of the globe that want to use outdated video games to tie people to criminal behavior. Suicide bombing? Hm, let's have a sit-down, head-scratch and see if we can't think of the one group of people who have made

He's clearly a product of the Jack LaLane way of life. RIP Jack. Read more

It's very interesting, but I think I'd feel like a dick playing it. Then again...party games really are for getting drunk and playing, and that could be very fun indeed... Read more

I usually laugh when TalkRadar uses sound clips from Ar Tonelico, but the fact that this game exists at all, and is on its third installment no less, makes me embarrassed. It's the same visceral shame for my species I feel when I'm sitting at the pizza place and Larry The Cable Guy: Health Inspector comes on, or they Read more

@madisomi loves lasercats: Just because one cannot disprove something like astrology or God does not make the likelihood of it being true an even fifty-fifty. With no evidence existing in favor of the supernatural phenomenon of which you are positing the existence, there is no reason to take this claim seriously. Read more

@mgsbigboss: You don't have to convince me. I enjoy Silent Hill. But when it was released, some reviewers wrote it off as derivative. My point is that it was still an enjoyable affair, even if it borrowed elements from the only other real console horror series at the time. Read more

@Cruxics: Hm...I would like to think there is a happy medium between stiffness and agility that could make the player vulnerable, but not control like a tank. At least Dead Space has a reason, being his wacky boots. Read more

As I read this article, I was thinking to myself, "is there a place to start putting in early ballots for the best blog posts of the year?"

@madisomi loves lasercats: I can disprove astrology easily, as was done over a thousand years ago, when people like yourself still said, "well astrology could still be true..." Read more
