My apologies for the misunderstanding. He mentioned on his twitter that it was from (ironically enough) Twitter Abuse [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFeh_IXg4rA].

It may not have been the joke they were going for, but in a large company, it's entirely possible for some support personnel to work themselves into a niche where they fall out of the information loop unless they make an active effort not to. Likewise, nobody really knows what they're doing as...

In response, CNN creates a new 24x7 channel, CNTN (Cable News Tease Network).

Grrr...doublepost.

Bringing a whole new meaning to "We are a hedge. Please move along."

I have problems following some Unskippable episodes because I find myself trying to understand what's going on in the cutscene. I had no problem here, because this cutscene was incomprehensible. Nice delivery on, "Maybe you should put on the goggles that are on your helmet."

That situation looked like a job for Fishy McSketcherson.

Quest design in MMOs is a black art based on some conflicting issues: 1) Players like to quest alone so they can follow the story at their own pace. 2) Multiple characters may be trying to do the same quest at the same time. So, let's say the quest is instead "stab all the dogs"...

Manly: Will not explode if he inadvertently comes into contact with a JRPG androgyne. Macho: Will.

I still think the best example of this was in Wolverine Uncaged. "All right, so this is many years before the not too distant future...at six."

Compliments on the special effects. If you've attempted something as ambitious before, I haven't seen it, but it was elegantly done. I'm not a fan of ICP...I've only heard one or two of their songs before and was not impressed. I do think there's something to be said for the viewpoint...
