I liked: "Walt Whitman!" "The chocolate guy?"

Sazh is boss, though those cleats have got to go. The baggy lines on the golf shirts the other three are wearing, though, are doing nothing for the characters; the virtual fitting around the stomach needs to be improved. Also, that palette is too matronly for Lightning, and Hope's shoes are...

As noted above, Famitsuu is a bunch of easy graders; there's hardly a game they don't give a stellar grade. I really wish we'd stop paying attention to them.

Shouldn't the headline read "some astronomers"? A blanket "astronomers" sounds like there's a scientific consensus already on the issue, which there isn't; it's a "hey, *maybe* this happened" hypothesis newly proposed by a team of two which needs (lots of) further investigation and research to...

I'm not used to A British Person being female.

Yahtzee's already sung his praises, but supergreatfriend [http://www.youtube.com/user/supergreatfriend] really goes the extra mile with his Let's Plays of Deadly Premonition, D and D2, and Illbleed. "Who Is Killerman?" [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4Ds3nVJ-ok&feature=channel_video_title] (go...

No mention of No More Heroes or Robin Atkin Downes yet? People. I'd also go back to John Truitt's performance as Ghaleon in the Lunar series - sardonic, contemplative, brimming with resentment and anger or softly sad as needed - one of the first truly great videogame voiceover...

I see that Johnny's proposed show is basically a revamped Steven Seagal: Lawman. I'm not sure, however, why we needed Cage's show being rejected twice by the same people, save to drag out airtime. On another note, though, does even Johnny Cage have to be dark and joyless here? His...

I was going to say "gee, I wish *I* took shop and learned how to make flutes and tables and miniature bridges!" until the lathe story. All my hands-on classes were in the more formal arts (painting, sculpture, etc.). The closest I came was a Stagecraft class in my last year of high school...

Yeah, I watched both for the first time recently as an adult, and I wouldn't split the movies into good/bad. Labyrinth works well as a modern fairy tale written by a girl on the cusp of adolescence, and Connelly is as engaging as she usually was in that era as the young protagonist...

Producers, did you just spend 1 minute of a 9-minute episode on a "Previously..." recap? Seriously?

"I took it to the guy at the counter, and he nodded, and said, 'Yeah, I had a look at that one. It's about a blue man with his penis out.'" No one's commented yet to note that this story is hilarious? Come on. As we're all trading bargain-bin tales, I think my best find was Minish Cap in...

Can't read this without thinking of "Anthony Saves the World." "The slow motion didn't work!"

Perhaps the issue here is that there might more than two groups under discussion. I think that lack of openness to the unfamiliar in the traditional gaming community at large is indeed an issue - but I'm not sure that's a problem with what we would refer to as the "hardcore gamers" - the...

I don't mean awesome movie critics per se, though I'm sure some worthy names will be popping up here - just awesome single reviews. *Jason Adams (NSFW from time to time, though these reviews are OK) takes aim at Knowing...
