All tuckered out from all the science-ing he'd been doing. With science.

Huh. Yahtzee was just about the last person I expected to be making a "Monkey Magic" reference.

I respond to the notion that this idea will catch on with an emphatic: "PFFFFFFFFFFFFT."

I thought the same thing when I first heard of it. It's actually quite tasty.

Grim Fandango, as in my mind it's the closest a game has ever gotten to being cinematic. (In plot, pacing, and characterization. Not necessarily in gameplay.) Playing that game I'm instantly reminded of classic film noir from the 30s, and it's effing beautiful.

When I was younger, the Skull Kid from Majora's Mask scared the absolute bajeezus out of me. I'm not sure why, looking back on it. Especially when there was a giant moon and an evil mask to be frightened of more.

Crash Test Dummies. Everyone only wants to remember them for "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" (Which isn't even that bad a song.) but they've had a lot of other really enjoyable songs besides their one mainstream hit. ("Afternoons & Coffeespoons" and "Winter Song" to name two.)

My favorite bands are sort of jumping all over the place, as I'm always discovering new things, but lately I've really gotten into That Handsome Devil. You may recognize them from Guitar Hero 2 and Rock Band 2, and their music is pretty astounding stuff. Sort of a hybrid between punk and...

No question, my favorite is "Helter Skelter." Charlie Manson inspiration aside. <_<

You give the remake crowd WAY more credit than they deserve, MovieBob. Christopher Lloyd wouldn't even appear AS Doc Brown. More likely they'd stick him in some cheesy wink-at-the-camera cameo role like they do with every other bad remake made in the history of the written word.

Bostonian, actually.

I would put the Gravity Gun from Half-Life 2 in Team Fortress 2. Wait for it... And I'd give it to the Engineer. Congratulations! I've broken the game by either allowing Engineers the option of moving sentries to un-sappable areas, or allowing them to build something, pick it up, and...

Y'know, somehow I had a feeling someone would say that one. Honestly, looking back I was more pissed off at that than moved when I saw that, because I'd spent so much time buffing the character up. Thinking further back, I was a lot MORE moved earlier in the game at Barrett's reactions...

Off the bat I can immediately see something terribly terribly wrong with it, even after a brief SKIM of the list. No Adventure Games! No Monkey Island, Sam & Max, I Have No Mouth & I Must Scream, or Grim Fandango...None! And yet all four of the 3D Grand Theft Autos made it onto the...
