    First thing you'd say after rising from a coma.

    LET ME GO BACK! LET ME GO BACK!

    Poll: What's your favourite Orchestral Instrument?

    The cello, with its human-voice range and such rich timbre and range of expression. An instrument you can feel the music flowing through you, and play so very mournfully. A single cello can fill a hall with emotion.

    Stolen Pixels #245: Tycho Brahe

    Following established mechanics, her amulet could be her buy-in item? Though maybe a clank would be better... something for the Engy to use. I would be shocked if they weren't at least considering a Guybrush add-on. No good reason I can think of not to. Someone above mentioned Rincewind...

    Big Iron On His Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiip

    For those after some new music, here's a favourite radio station mod: CONELRAD 640-1240 - Civil Defense Radio It's a direct port of a FO3 mod (somehow the radio signal has reached all the way from the Capital Wasteland!) with its own host, the lovely Katrina, and is all about the Bomb...

    Shamus Plays WoW #5: Another Day, Another Mine

    I think this just about sums up the insanity nicely: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtEkUmYecnk

    Black Ops Swastika Emblems Will Earn Xbox Live Ban

    If they're going to ban the 'crooked cross' for association with Nazi war crimes, might I suggest banning the + symbol for its association with Christian crusades? Or the crescent moon? Or triangles? Or perhaps it's safest just not to allow self expression at all - we wouldn't want to offend...

    So It Begins

    "Jack, where did you buy that coffee?" OR *Punch* "That's for reminding me of Valentine's Day!"

    Psychonauts Creator Ready to Make Sequel

    I squealed like a tween at a Justin Bieber concert to hear this. There can be no better news, except that it's actually in production. Someone give this man a lot of money!

    Poll: The moon is falling...now what do you do?

    I feel lighter. Or heavier, if it's on the other side of the planet.

    Japanese Pop Stars Accused of Racism

    Apart from how ignorant it is to make Hitler appear friendly... at least he didn't drop an atomic bomb on them. Twice.

    169: Phantom on the Tokyo Metro

    Astounding. For someone who's spent his life in suburban middle-England (only last week having taken his only trip on the London Underground) it felt like a transportation. I love the kind of descriptive techniques you've employed, giving the reader enough to -feel- of the setting and do the...

    U.S. Marine "Baffled" by Medal of Honor Ban

    What amazes me most about this story is that the Marines are letting their personnel smoke. The US Marines, supposedly the finest fighting force in the world (though I'd like to see them take on the SAS) is letting their soldiers pointlessly destroy their stamina and general good health. How are...

    The best job in the world?

    This. Oh man, so much food and all that travelling and no effort involved in the presentation. Just smile, say some excited and eat. Yeah, I can do that.

    What Grade is Your Content Comprehension?

    Greater elitism (without being pricks) for a better world. Flesch and Gunning had it the wrong way around - don't lower your work to suit the lowest minded consumer, demand that the consumer elevate themselves to the world around them. If they're too stupid to understand the best content around...

    The Girl With a Sensitive Heart

    Good article, brought back many memories of the game. Which is kind of appropriate as I continue to get flashbacks from Call of Duty 2. What sticks in my mind particularly is scrambling up the banks of the Volga with nothing more than a clip of 7.62mm as fellow conscripts fall all around me...
