Oh, yes, I'll just bet Doug is ready to do some more "rowing" with Julie.

Well, I buy those gaming platforms I come to respect and which offer me games I want to play. Unfortunately, that means I own a Wii, a 360, a PS3, and a gaming-grade computer (self-built, at least).

@doubtful: That sounds similar to a Philip K. Dick story called, "Impostor." The main character is accused of having been replaced by a robot with a bomb inside it. He spends the whole story trying to prove he's human, only for the phrase triggering the detonation of the bomb turn out to be what he says when he…

@doubtful: Go read a book. Specifically, any of the Asimov Robot books, all of which thoroughly predate Robocop.

@Manly_McBeeferton: I want to say that the only way to cheat in Mario Kart is to have the game play itself for you, but clearly there are other ways.

@doubtful: doubtless what you really mean to reference is the First Law of Robotics.

@Bouzi: Go Habs Go!: Alas, they're also hard as hell to find, even if you're in Japan and interested in at least seeing one.

Researchers? I'm just saying...

@fallenvash: If any game has "broken ground" with "untraditional" melee, it was Zeno Clash.

@jezz.torrent: Yeah, the law is pretty black and white on this. If you're going to engage in this kind of act, be honest enough to admit you know what you're doing.

@Trygle12's posts considered harmful!: And the Law is always right. Right?

@Demonbird: Or very, very small, depending on how long his water heater holds out.

@2NinjasTapedTogether: Oh, don't mind him, he just needs to learn to play the system until he gets a shiny.

How is this a note? There's nothing in it that really seems ...noteworthy.

From what the Inception trailer shows, I have to say that it... um, isn't very impressive for anyone who's seen the gloriously beautiful Paprika.

@David Sharpe: It's a multi-strip series; one of their surrealist takes on life and culture, in this case a collision of Boy Scouts and monsters and magic fantasy.

Is it just me, or is the "Fall video game season" coming 4-5 months early this year?

@subsonicbeatbox: I wish I was stupid enough not to understand this rental contract but smart enough to understand that case so's I could get myself a free PS3. And whatever the hell else I wanted.

@Koztah: they're vicious, vicious creatures man. You SHOULD fear them and their machinations.
