This is a very local story for me. Nampa is the closest town to where I live right now.

If Microsoft ever started selling cars, you would have to pay them $50 a year in order to be able to access 5th gear and the radio.

Little Racers STREET featured on Kotaku. Quick! Panic! We're not ready for that many people to see this!

I like how they're keeping the main game, and Landmark separate. This way, we get all the fun of the resource-collecting, building, emergent gameplay in landmark, without having gigantic penis sculptures and stupid crap littering our epic MMO with some very innovative features.

Not really. I allow him to use the Youtube app on the PS3, and he's pretty well trained to ask us if he wants to watch something new. Youtubers like Cupquake stay pretty kid friendly, and since it's in the livingroom I can keep tabs on things.

My son's of the age where he's always asking "Is (insert-mythical-creature-here) real?" He doesn't seem too torn up when I say no though. It's especially funny when he finds out that certain Youtube personalities he's a fan of are actual, real people. He gets excited. Now he wants to meet Cupquake, ZackScott,…

I got a 9.3. I'll take it. I knew that Color Theory course I took over a decade ago would come in handy.

I kind of reminds me of the English dub of Excel Saga, although I think that was intended to be completely insane.

Why couldn't I stop watching this? I think this video gave me herpes.

Okay, Spy took it too far. Shovel launched snowball: fine. Hot water gun "flame" thrower: great. But eviscerating your friends with icy knives crosses the line.

In my list of things I wish Nintendo would do, this was among them. For better or worse, this is a very smart move on Nintendo's part, and I can't wait to see what comes out of it.

Wasn't this glorious masterpiece the work of Capcom as well?

In Japan, golden poo is lucky.

No region locking. I play Japanese and European releases all the time on my US Dreamcast. Enjoy.

Imagine you're at a job interview. Your potential new boss smiles, motions you to have a seat, asks you a few typical qualifying questions, then says:

Middleton. Near Nampa/Caldwell. Tiny little town. I could just move to a cheaper place, but honestly I miss where I was.

I've heard that lots of Californians are moving to Idaho. I moved here because I thought that the cost of living would be lower, and the chances of my neighbor manufacturing meth would be lower.

Potatoes, ah yeah.

I'm originally from Utah, but I moved to California almost 20 years ago when I was 10. When people find this out about me, they almost always ask "Oh, so... are you Mormon?"

Did his hair turn into freaky face-hair near the end there?
