I actually got a repetitive stress injury thanks to a bad desk. My previous desk was an old writing desk never intended for computers, so I ended up using it with bad posture, resulting in an injury in my neck. I upgraded to one with a sliding keyboard tray and a LOT more leg room, and it's...

No More Heroes. Every single cutscene in that game is hysterical, every single action scene is chocked full of cartoony violence and a movie adaptation of it would be a hell of a ride.

wait No More Hereos?

I see you've never met a music game elitist. The kind that quit the song when they get a single non-perfect judgment. The kind that whine when songs are too easy, or crappy because they can't nail every last note in a certain measure. The kind that grind on the same song, over and over...

The MP3 player feature in my cellphone is pretty neat and I'd use it... if it acted like an actual mp3 player. Pros: Straight MP3s on my MicroSD card. No converting, no weird software, no bullcrap. Most MP3s work perfectly. They can play out of the speakers, which is quite nice. Cons...

I've never owned a durable piece of Apple hardware. They'd have my dollar if any of their iPods didn't have a chrome, extra smudgable and scratchable backing. Or if their laptops didn't cost around $2000 and have less functionality than a $500 bargain Dell laptop. Honestly, if you think...

Yup. If you can get your Xbox on Live by any means, you can update your backwards compatibility. MS also has a free downloadable disc image you can burn onto a DVD. Worst comes to worst, you can go out and buy the latest issue of Official Xbox Magazine, which has the latest update. Also...

All in all, Miyamoto said the right thing. Wii Fit won't make you fit, but then again nothing will if you don't actively pursue a healthier you. Wii Fit isn't going to prepare you a healthy lunch, hold up a big red sign when you walk into a McDonalds, and make sure you do your personal...

I'd like to see these games have better compression or Microsoft give me a free bigger hard drive if they think I'm going to start plopping down $15 a game, when I could just go out to Gamestop and pick them up on DVDs. Once you buy a game or two on the 20GB hard drive, you're through. If...

I've always found that the next-gen bandwagon dies off when there's serious talk floating around about the next set of consoles. Which should be rolling around sometime soon. The first of this generation was the DS released in 2004, four years ago. Of course they're STILL flying off shelves...

3rd place in a Pump it Up tournament a long time ago. I won $12, and after the $5 entry fee I walked out of there with $7. Those hundreds of dollars I spent on getting better finally paid off, I guess. At the Halo 3 launch at Gamestop, I played that shoot-the-target, win-a-prize game they...

I've always been more of a Croissantwich man, myself...

Ugh, I hear this kind of talk about Blu-Ray and HD-DVD from a friend of mine who's obsessed with it (and just NOW got a HDTV). Every single time he brings it up, I refute with the same arguement: People are not going to go for buying yet ANOTHER format for a while. DVD is massive, and not...

The weed eater in Dead Rising. You can find it near the back of the hardware store in the north plaza. You can pick up a zombie with it by impaling them, which will cause them to spin helplessly. You can walk around and knock other zombies out of the way with your spinning zombie, as it...

Nintendo has a trend of doing this for safety. If the analog stick didn't catch on, they'd have a perfectly good D-pad and face buttons. If they designed the analog stick for primary play and consumers didn't like it, they'd be stuck with a default controller which nobody would use. History...
