Too true, mate! My cousin owning a Game Genie was the only way that we beat some of those notoriously difficult games! (and not so hard games -- we WERE 4 and 6 years old at the time.) It was such a shame it broke before we could beat Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. [read: get past the 3rd level.]...

Thanks for the article, it's nice to go back to a series after a while and look at it from fresh eyes, or new perspectives. I enjoy that kind of storytelling in games, where each person can read into the story whatever they choose. At any rate, Capcom can re-write or gloss over what they...

That is a seriously epic win for that kid. Best dad ever. I wish my Dad had done something like that for me, but then again, he was the kind to play Doom and Wing Commander; not exactly inspiring source material for a little girl's room. >.>

Just when I think I'm coming to terms with the rules of Magic, I learn about something like this and that notion flies right out the window. Excuse me while I go try and work this out. *insert brain pain here* Actually, that's not true; you explain the concept VERY well, I just don't know...

James does a REALLY good General/Dictator type. He's definitely found his niche role.

I had started thinking about Magic before you had even mentioned it. So many of my husband's friends play their games that way, many of them being long time players, with back catalogues of cards they've bought since they were kids. They're always going to have better decks, better cards, etc...

The first time I saw my partner sit down, then disappear into dust on the wind, I nearly freaked till I realized the game mechanic behind it. I love the game for incorporating the mechanics into the game into something that can evoke that sort of emotional response. It makes it more real than so...

Really enjoyed this one, beautiful voices and very well put together. Hope there will be some more collaborations between you two! ^_^

This is the first public apology I've heard that hasn't evoked the sensation that the person apologizing has their mother standing behind them, proding them to say "I'm very sorry" in a forced, eyes-staring-at-shoes fashion. It might just be me, but he actually sounds heartfelt and profusely...

In reading her blog about what has happened, I was starting to feel better for her once Microsoft started listening -- until I got to the latest update posted today, which says after all they've done for her, she's been billed [hacked?] AGAIN for another $80. For shame, Microsoft. For shame.

I was sitting in the tavern just last night thinking, God these bards are awful! Mangling a classic! --This-- is how it's done. Beautiful!

I'm going to play this at my wedding. It's beautiful, they've done an amazing job.

That is absolutely adorable! ^_^ Gotta give him major props for having the creativity (and the balls) to ask Gearbox, and it's awesome that they went out of their way to do something so nice for their fans. I'm majorly jealous. The video of him showing the video to her and their friends was...

It's been a couple weeks now, and yet this is still by far my favourite LRR video. It just never stops being funny. I seriously want to do this to my friends. Ace.

Does no one else actually play 'characters' when they play games, or do they just play 'themselves' in the story? When I go into a game, I play a character, separate from myself, with flaws and traits and personality different from my own. Sometimes that means I'll play a female, sometimes a...
