On the subject of planets, something few modern people know is that for a time in the 19th century, we had 11 planets in our solar system, because the four largest asteroids were not called "asteroids" until decades after their discovery (as the word had not been invented yet). This...

Damn you, Bob. I had forgotten the game-show version of Video Power. Thanks a lot!

I think LRR needs more Andy. I always love Andy bits.

There is an obvious flaw with this poll, and there would inevitably be one no matter what game "won". Fundamentally, 86.52% of your community decided on something other than the top choice, and their votes all seem to count for nothing. Naming anything "Game of the Year" based on less than...

Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, but I'm of the understanding that the destruction of Krypton in the comics is a deliberate act of villainy - specifically, the act of Brainiac, doing what Brainiac does. Is that not the case?

The message I take away from this is that Kate would like us to put together her own prom.

The big difference? When I fuck up, I own up to it and refocus discussion on how I (or we, if appropriate) can fix it.

Am I the only one that thought that was Jeanette Voerman at first?
