As much respect as I had for Toontown, people were calling characters "toons" well before that.

#9 is a good one for programmers to remember while optimizing.

Agreed, but the line between a kook and a visionary is kind of fuzzy and wavy and he's probably crossed it several times.

Recognizing that video games are (almost) (*) all about spatial reasoning is a good thing to do. Trying to get creative and do something else is pretty bold. But calling every game that is about…

Shadowrun Returns.

It's not a failure on the level of Colonial Marines, but that save system... ugh.

Remote play... maybe other gamers feel differently, but I don't care. My two platforms are PC and Vita. (Well, and a…

Unlike other digital downloads, nobody seem to offer a good comparison tool to quickly glance at the prices for different MP3 sellers. From what we'd heard, Amazon is supposed to be the cheapest place to buy MP3s, but our tests weren't as conclusive.

Having gotten hooked on Jetpack Joyride on the Vita of all things, I really want to try Daily Cool Running.

I suppose it's true that if you wear a mask all the time, you don't have to worry about your complexion. Just your sanity.
