Actually, that's a good point. There were a handful of 2D 32-bit+ games that are probably in my own personal favorites list, I just tend to remember the 3D games. Even Metal Gear Solid, which is probably in my all-time top-five, is still pretty ugly. The 3D worked, but it sure didn't look nice.

By "here in Minnesota" I assume you mean The Current? I moved from there a few years ago and still listen to that regularly.

It's a very good album but also one of the most stylistically diverse that I've heard in a long time. Each song is pretty enjoyable, but you could probably convince someone that they're not all done by the same band.

It's also interesting to see what "bad" graphics are still acceptable. There are tons of 8- and 16-bit games (or games resembling them) but nobody seems to be spending much time on the 32- and 64-bit era. Most early 3D games are just flat-out ugly.

Interesting theories, but they don't add up. If it's to stop leaks, all a leaker has to do is paint the controller or use PhotoShop, like other people have said. If it's obscuring details, that doesn't make sense either, since the controller and console aren't moving. It works for the ships and cars like you mentioned…

How can you ever forget sky-surfing? Easily the coolest made-up invention ever.

I feel like ol' DW gets overlooked a lot, but that show was amazing. I can't really decide between that and Talespin for best after-school amazingness.

Damn, he grew up quick.

For some reason I love reading bad reviews. I know I'll never play this game, but read the whole damn thing anyway.

The Dovakid is pretty awesome. Also, this has nothing to do with the cosplay, but I completely hate the Dark Brotherhood armor in this game. The cosplay is well done, it's just an awful look from the start.

Who throws a ladder? Honestly.

Holy crap. I think I would literally revert back to being 8 years old again. My body would just Benjamin Button back to me lying on the floor with a pile of action figures in front of me.

I'm in.

The post isn't about the nudity (or equality in nudity). It's simply an opinion saying that he felt uncomfortable with the combination of sexualization and extreme violence. Just yesterday, two teenagers were sentenced for rape and one of the biggest media outlets in the country spun the story as "These poor young…

It seems like more of a violence problem than specifically a violence-against-women problem. It makes sense that the enemies are female, since they are representing characters in Greek mythology that were female. In general, I find it kind of disgusting, but I find all of the violence in these videos to be pretty…

They did. This is either an unedited press release or they just pulled it straight off the AP wire. You didn't think local TV stations did actual reporting did you?

They're not for everyone for sure. I bought into the fad a few years ago and my girlfriend did shortly after me. My feet ended up killing me to the point that I started running less often in order to let my feet recover between runs and ran way fewer miles than I would in my normal shoes. My girlfriend on the other…

I LOLed

You don't really understand the concept of "character" do you?
