I think this may be the funniest comedy bit I have ever heard regarding video games. Warning, as with most comedy, there is some strong language in a couple of spots. http://youtu.be/yKIiUsbOO24

Kudos for the line "what do you do with the devil's phone number?" That is an awesome, extremely noir line.

I would make that the central Department of Motor Vehicles of the universe then appoint a committee to run it. That should achieve 3 things. 1) It would immediately render them unable to reach any conclusions or decisions. 2) They would become so hated that no one would ally with them. 3)...

I used to use an iRiver H10 20gb with Rockbox open source software (as it added some features that the base firmware didn't have). However, the battery was ALWAYS crap as it was a display model which was on all the time, but I got it for 60% off. This year, I got a BlackBerry Storm and I...

I can't believe that I forgot about it, but The Tick. I got the wonderful experience of having 2 different Tick series murdered on me. I had blocked them both out.

To hit the big ones that so many others mourn: Invader Zim Firefly But I also have to add: Brimstone Dead Like Me Exosquad Batman Beyond John Doe

To borrow from Patton Oswalt, I would go back to hit George Lucas in the head with a shovel before he came up with Jar-Jar.

One Hundred Years of Solitude was probably my favorite forced to read book. Oddly enough, I have a degree in English Lit, but got out of reading most of the "classics" by careful class planning. Skipped on Moby Dick, The Great Gatsby, On Walden Pond and a few others that would probably make most...

There is an article that I read a while back about this. I had to go hunt it down. The Lamest 360 Achievements I totally agree with each of these, but not the order. I they aren't all hard, but they all suck.

Why not mix it up with something that we KNOW is going to have another game made of it anyway? A prime example would be a WWII shooter. You could have a zombie outbreak from a German secret research facility. It could even have different modes where you play a German soldier, a prisoner or an...

I wonder if anyone at the ESRB noticed this during the review process but then thought "Nah. No one would be that obvious. I must be imagining it."

They had a pretty good run going on over at io9.com about the best space battle smack talk. http://io9.com/369491/best-space-battle-smack-talk I wanted to see what good smack talk you could think of from books/TV/film/games. Throw enough good ones up here and I might put a poll up with the...

There are 2 classes of games that I really wish I could enjoy, but just could never find the magic for myself. 1) RTS: I love turn based, but can't abide RTS games. I always felt that the AI had a huge advantage, since it can look at the whole screen at once and I can't. 2) Online PVP...

I was just wondering if anyone has tried the GameTap service and could comment on their experience?

Wonder how long before he starts posting profanity in some forum about them?
