Battery powered watergun with clips? I had a pair of those 15-20 years ago. (God, has it been that long?) The new nerf ones look a little sturdier (and I imagine the battery compartment is waterproofed - we used electrical tape for ours), but this is old school tech. Still have fond...

To the folks who are advocating "proportional response", you're missing an important point - Casey doesn't want to fight. Throw a punch? Now you're fighting, you're involved, and you're playing their game. Casey doesn't want to fight. So his goal isn't to "win the fight", it's to "make...

I know what my father would tell me - good job. (Or, if I remember properly "I know you wouldn't start a fight, so finish it.") Before we all worry too much about our poor little bully, let's remember a few salient facts, shall we? - Walking away doesn't work. It sounds good in theory, but...

Two words - Self. Defense. Watch that video again. It's completely obvious who's starting the fight. Casey takes a few punches and stands there. Blocks a few. Ritchard is the aggressor, Casey is defending himself. Prosecutor would be hard-pressed to get a conviction on that. Ritchard...

re: Wii (as a happy Wii owner) I find it funny that the Wii got nothing but flack for doing the cheesy motion controls while the Big Boy consoles did the flashy Hi-Def graphics. And now, the Big Boys are trying to catch up (I tried a Kinect, and it's like hanging a picture - little more to...

That was my first thought, but Three Rings is some pretty smart people (Puzzle Pirates doesn't get remotely enough credit for finding a way to run an MMO that isn't "I CAN HAZ LEVELZ") So I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised.

I think the reason people are excited about this one is that over the top trash talk is part of the premise, for Duke Nukem. Think of it this way - the sort of talk you see at a WWE match is appropriate there, but not on the golf course. The trash talkers have simply been given their game...

No, it's like saying "I don't support breaking and entering, but here is how to pick a lock. Don't pick locks you don't own."

I watched through the whole thing, went about my day, and had a "was I *supposed* to click on this stuff?" moment (after all, YouTube is full of videos with embedded links, right?). Then came home, reloaded the video, and tried to click on the blasted t-shirt. Nicely played, LRR.

I would have to say that Cars is my least favorite (I think the "made for kids" complaint is about right). That said, "Pixar's worst movie" beats the hell out most studio's "best movie". (And people who didn't like UP have no soul. If anything, that movie is the anti-Cars: more for the...

Agreed on Robert - Rush and Eli are two of the best things about the show. As for Chloe/Matt, it was just too... simple. The love triangle should have run much longer. (That's something I blame more on the writing than the actors - it's not that I don't believe them, it's that the writers...

I hope they manage a way to keep running, but I won't be terribly sad if it's cancelled. I enjoy the show, but they're still stumbling around a bit too much. If I had to point fingers at why they were canceled, I'd have to say they had too many things going on: - I don't mind Chloe, but...

The one thing that makes the Myst series puzzles work is that (especially for the Cyan-made games), the puzzle isn't "figure out the blocks", it's "figure out why things work the way they do". The Riven number puzzle is perfect for this. You see the weird symbols everywhere, and then you...

I'd love to see Wallace & Gromit. Wallace being the person at the table, nattering on about cheese and whatnot, while Gromit quietly takes care of the actual playing.

I think the game will kick into high gear for me when survival multiplayer is solid (the Robinson Crusoe gambit is only fun so long), and if we could dial the difficulty a bit more (for whatever reason, day 2 I will *always* be surrounded by spiders and creepers - I'd love to be able to choose...
