That was pretty cool, but I'm sure it would've been even better in an indoor rink with decent ice. I'd love to see that. I, umm, actually like figure skating, but I can see the appeal of non-traditional performances like this over the usual stereotypical figure skating stuff. This guy...

I'm kind of upset. Certainly, Blackberry has made a lot of mistakes recently (much like Microsoft in the PC world but more dramatically), but I've been with them since my first smartphone, and I just really like the balance between the smart part and the phone part you get with a Blackberry...

That "van der Merwe" pronunciation... I laughed. Still, psyched to see this movie.

A lot of people just upgrade for the sake of upgrading, because surely it must be true that newer is always better. It's rather irritating fixing people's PCs where they messed up the Windows 8 installation somehow and would have had a perfectly serviceable Windows 7 had they not upgraded just...

Graphics are important because sight is the main sense we use when playing the vast majority of games, and it's how we engage in the gameplay. In a game like Crysis, yeah, that probably is 60% of the experience. Within his narrow field, Yerli's totally correct. I don't like that "good...

"You are in a maze of twisty little passages, all alike."

This... thank you for this. I am bad at games. My reaction time is horrible, I don't care about strategy, etc, etc... I will sometimes play multiplayer with my friends, but I always lose horribly and spend the whole time making self-deprecating jokes. I usually enjoy that, don't get me wrong...

I hate to be that guy, but... should be [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quotation_mark#Quotations_and_speech] "...Wait," says the guy. Great column, though. You should do more of these.

Why not The Mars Volta?

I think it's a pointless question. "Anime" is a name used for cartoons from Japan, and "cartoons" or "western animation" are names used for cartoons not from Japan. I enjoy a lot of cartoons and I couldn't really care what they're called or where they're from. Anyone can make a cartoon about...

"And it publishes a weekly online magazine that brings together articles on a shared theme, such as "Gamers vs. Developers vs. Publishers" and "The Industry's Seedy Underbelly."" Man oh man do I miss the weekly issue. =(

It'll be a shame in some ways, but I've seen it coming for a while now. The low comment counts on the featured articles, the dwindling article counts in the individual issues, the increasing familiarity of the writers - this has been a while in coming. In September 2005 I found the PDFs of...

1. What Aidinthel said that CS Lewis said. 2. Internet memes are funny. Not all of them, and not any of them all the time, but the basic idea of a meme is that it's funny. It's often stupid, but that's why it's funny. Junk like the Game (you just lost it) and All Your Base and rickrolling and...

Not much of a twist, considering everyone already knows what's up with Trollestia. FOR THE NEW LUNAR REPUBLIC!

Everyone should play Arkham Asylum.
