Rocko's Modern Life and Animaniacs were probably my favorites. The songs on Animaniacs got me through a few grade school tests as I recall.

Alfador_VII: Heavy Rain is a great suggestion, and it's a game I had forgotten about. He'd probably like Portal's sense of humor as well. I'd be the least certain about L.A. Noire. This would be a lot easier if he were a sports guy, but unfortunately he is not. But maybe he'd find the genre...

My dad (who is 58) has never played games before, but he bought a blu-ray player that streams Netflix so poorly that I convinced him to get a PS3 instead. To my shock and awe he is even considering buying some games. He likes sci-fi and action movies, loves to read, loves gadgets and tech stuff...

Try p90x. It's a DVD workout series that mixes weightlifting with cardio and core strengthening. It's difficult, but you sound like you are already pushing yourself. You do for 90 days, and each workout is about an hour long. The order from day to day changes so you get the maximum benefit. I've...

I was going to start this exact same thread. My dad (who is 58) has never played games before, but he bought a blu-ray player that streams Netflix so poorly I convinced him to get a PS3 instead. To my shock and awe he is even considering buying some games. He likes sci-fi and action movies...

Super Mario World, Chocolate Island. The rest of the game had been relatively a breeze so getting stuck came as a shock. I just kept dying and lost it.

I liked Beck too. I think the full name is Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad.

Try crunchyroll.com. I'd do a 14 day free trial first, because they spam with ads if you don't. You can browse around for a couple weeks and decide what you like and what you would like to see more of.

I had that phone for a week and took it back. I had a Motorola Cliq before that, and found the G2's keyboard to be too slim. When I returned it (to walmart, which was a hassle) I went with a Cliq 2. I hope that by the time I get another phone it will be 3D with a keyboard. The 3D is admittedly...

Completely agree. I was excited to find anime on netflix, then bummed when it was dubbed. The English voice acting always sounds exaggerated. (Maybe that's the way it sounds in Japanese too?) Dubbed versions sound cheesy, and they are ultimately too distracting for me.

I like Eddie Izzard, Mike Birbiglia, and Mitch Hedberg. I'd agree with the posts above on least favorites (Larry and lewd US males), including Dane Cook, Carlos Mencia, etc.

I don't think it used to be called anything. I think it was part of Daniel Floyd's thesis presentation(s). I watched them a while back and only recently learned that they had weekly installments here. Shortly thereafter I joined up and discovered all kinds of awesomeness. I must admit I feel a...

Despite the fact that your parents have presumably been financially responsible for you for quite some time, it is still a bit disrespectful for your mother to seemingly steal from you. In the same sense, if you needed money for something, you would probably tell them and then they would...

Sorry! I ate your panda.

YES! Commas are important.
