Definitely the Mountains of Madness, for starters. There's also the Case of Charles Dexter Ward (controversial, but a great book, not counting the unnecessary historical passages at the beginning. The story and plot twists make up for a lot), and I have a weakness for the Dream-Quest of...

strangely enough, the last song i listened to is this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_htoSaQFf4 That'll be hard to sing along with...

The SBC Cannon from Serious Sam, labeled as "the most powerful weapon known to humankind"; fires high-speed radioactive cannonballs that bounce around for a while before exploding. ... I think I'll be alright. ;) Man, I'd love to play L4D2 with that thing...

60 bucks is 60 more dollars then I have right now, not to mention that I feel like 60 bucks is really too much for a videogame anyway. Maybe Steam deals have spoiled me.

Offhand, Princess Bride and Star Wars.

Doom 2. So much stupid fun and it's hardly aged.

I'm pretty sure that the fact that people are calling it things like "this generation's Ocarina of Time" guarantees that it won't be. Not to mention that, if I remember correctly, OOT was kind of a surprise hit, the complete opposite of Skyrim.

physical safety: 9 potential to be stolen: 8 locks on your zips: No key head/earphones: earphones headphone cables tangled: Yes small emergency charger: 5 laptop/netbook/tablet charger: 3

In an ad for an Android phone: "Your wife will love the dual-core Intel processor." Just... WTF.

Yep. I just keep their gallery open in a tab and check whenever I remember it's Wednesday.

Well, very first contact was when me and my mom would play a Myst-style point-and-click game on a web page. I don't remember the name, though I do remember finding a key in a skeleton, and a distinct link to Roman architecture and history. And I remember watching the little "N" animation on...

The one moment of internet fame I had was when Steve Gibson retweeted one of my tweets, which led to a person getting referenced to me, who saw an article I had recently written, which led to him translating it to Spanish and Catalan because he liked it and wanted to share it. Which makes me a...

Seriously, does anybody really like that book? The dad was pretty hilarious and the story was somewhat interesting when read in a cliffnotes format but there wasn't really much else.

The closest thing to classic literature that I didnt like was "Wasteland" by T. S. Elliot. It's a fun read for anyone who finds absurd postmodern literature amusing.

Well, the two I can think of right off the bat are Duke Nukem and Sonic. Though really, there wasn't too much that they could work with for long anyway; Sonic only worked in 2D (Secret Rings being the one exception), and Duke Nukem is just too much of a flat character to keep attention now that...
