There were mini-dudes for Blaster, one of my friends had some kind of little yellow lion guy.

TRUKK NOT BIRDY?

A screensaver that does the same thing every time it kicks in - starts at 5:59, then flips to 6:00 and starts playing "I got you babe"...

My understanding is if you fill up the hall of heroes NOW with level one characters, you can get a lightsaber.

'spose, but some of the time constrained 'missions' were dang near impossible.

I'm holding out for the return of the Burger King games, only maybe this time for Xbox360/XboxOne instead of XBOX/Xbox360. Three horrible games, but definitely kitschy in a weird collectible kind of way.

Maybe they should move to the same building as Robotoki. Crooks might be bowled over by the defenses then.

I also liked Greg Keyes' The Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series. Had a fun protagonist and some nice thought put into the world structure. Plus the main character is a game warden/forester guy.

There's one fan.

Shame that it won't work for an already wall mounted TV; the sad wire-and-ziptie shelf I'm using now for an AppleTV doesn't compare to something nice looking like this. Most shelves for wall mounted tvs seem designed for gigantic old VCRs.

Most places (e.g. Sears, Canadian Tire) have a far better warranty on regular screwdrivers as well, where you can often just bring them in if the tip wears and get a new one for free. The removable tip ones are handy for quick and light work, but lack variety in size. The 'bits' tend to wear down easier, becoming a…

In an interview two weeks ago, the candidate asked with genuine interest "how will my performance be measured" - in all the hiring I've been involved with in over eight years at my present company, no candidate had asked that before. This wasn't someone trying to gauge our tolerance level for slackness, this was…
