There was a point where I wanted to switch from a lifetime of glasses to contacts. That was when I learned that my instinct for keeping stuff from TOUCHING MY EYES is far stronger than my will to get the damned things out once they're in. That was a rough hour or so at the optometrist's.

I don't know whether I'd…

I wish they realized that one of the first things people want to do in a mobile game is turn off the sound... so thanks for locking out the options menu for the first little bit there. :P The pain from that fades quickly though and... oooh, 192. What was I saying?

As someone who does not now and never will own an iOS device, I really don't feel bad playing a clone until there's an Android version.

I built one from adjustable-height sawhorses, 1x6's and MDF boards, and transplanted the under-desk keyboard tray from my old desk. Made some stands for my studio monitor speakers to keep them at ear level, and there's plenty of space for music gear, big ol' printer, two LCD screens and a little bit of work room…

Hills are a problem for me with bicycling, and unfortunately my town is pretty hilly.

I do have a recumbent exercise bike in the basement though, I just don't enjoy it as much as walking.

In my entire lifetime, there has never been a possibility of running for two miles. I don't care what the pace is. Pace is a completely meaningless concept to me.

When I've been getting regular exercise at a level appropriate to my capabilities, I can jog for a short stretch. It's probably not a good idea even then,…

6 Vita games, really?

I have 6 games on physical media, and another 10 or so downloads, and that's already more games than I have time to play because so many of them have a lot of content and/or replay value. There are another 5-6 games I'd buy immediately if I had time to play them too.

And I'm picky about games.

And…

What better way to warm something up, than with fire?

He's a screwed up kid, and the relationship with Denna is one of the few ways that actually shows.

But yeah, he needs to find himself a girl that is not horrible and manipulative.

The Wii U has one thing that no other dedicated gaming system has: a controller that combines stick-and-button inputs with a touchscreen. What the system needs, Iwata said, are more games that showcase the strengths of the hybrid interface. Emphasis ours.

If you drink enough milk that skim vs. whole is going to make the difference between developing type 2 diabetes or not... you're drinking too much milk.

Some techniques are actually much more difficult to perform slowly.

At least with percussion, and particularly with big percussion like taiko, and even more so when it incorporates choreography. Volume depends on the speed of the strike, and slowing down means less flowing and more waiting, less taking advantage of…

I bought my Lancer because of Gran Turismo.

Granted it's not an Evo, it's the sheep-in-wolf's-clothing OZ Rally edition... but still.

Lying Cat is the best character.

Seriously, the idea that "that product line didn't work, fire the CEO" is pretty short-sighted. Same with "that product line did work, so the CEO is a genius!"

It's kind of like the POTUS — held responsible for and given credit way more than he ever actually does.

Love the art. Whatever this game is, I want it.

I used to work on an MMO. (A quite old one, never wildly successful, but it's still running.) I was the major developer of the magic system (having inherited the code from someone who didn't believe in documentation and wasn't as good a coder as he thought he was) and in charge of one of the character classes.

I…

I got one in November and am very happy with it, so yes.

Sign up for PSN+. Download everything that's free. Keep checking it every week or so because the free games and discounts rotate (sometimes frequently). Try all the demos of things you think you might possibly like. Check out the PSOne and PSP Classics in the…

For some reason, now I'm wondering how many children have been named Claptrap.
