Silent Hill 2, silly. Let me put it this way: sometimes things are inexplicably popular, like the Kardashians. Sometimes, things are popular for very good reasons, like Beethoven. Silent Hill 2 is not a very original choice for list like this, but it falls into the latter category: It is popular for very good reason.

Also, it is not .30, it is .30-06 Thirty Aught Six. There are significant differences between the two cartidges, most common being range.

I suppose now it would be silly to add the fact that the Garand is not a rifle at all, but a carbine. The difference is in the barrel length.

I could tell you that all the Star Wars movies suck, and self-righteously laugh at you for even considering that they have place in cinema history. But, I will not. Instead, I will take the high road and just hope that you are not too disappointed when the new movie comes out. Though, I think that even articles like…

My grandad was a race car driver. I will never forget the wisdom he passed onto my dad, who passed it onto me: “The car is not your woman. It is not your honey. It is a thoughtless lump of metal that will not hesitate to kill you or anyone else. It does not care. It does not care how fast it can go, nor how much money…

I can’t draw a stick man the same way twice, so you are not alone.

I have a confession to make: I have never once recruited the Krakken for my Army.

This would be an awesome chance for more random Suikoden articles.

$89.99 is not a bad price for Suikoden II, consideing we’ve seen it as high as $405 on Amazon, and has sold for more than $250 on ebay.

Tak Fuji. Eeeeexxxtreeeeeeeeeeeeme

Matt Groening is a wonderful human being. I’m from Portland, so we often see him round town when he comes back to visit his family and friends. I ran into him at a coffee shop one day, and not wanting to take up too much of his time, but still wanting to tell him I loved his work, I walked up briskly, tapped him on…

As someone who has in the past often worked with physically and sexually abused young women, I find this uncalled for. Please know two things: 1) It is not a funny situation. 2)Rarely do they “act” polite or well behaved. The ultimate authority on whether or not a child has been abused is that child them self.…

Fred Rodgers never signed books or gave autographs. This is not because he was a jerk, but because he refused to entertain the idea that he was any kind of celebrity. In fact he was philosophically opposed to the very concept of the “celebrity.” He did not feel that one person should be held above another socially in…

I live in Portland, so it is the same for me. Obviously, we see Gus around pretty often. He is the only person in Oregon we allow to have an entourage lol, but he is nice and mostly keeps to himself. Linus Torvalds lives in Lake Oswego still, you can actually hang out with him sometimes at Moonstruck Coffee over…

I have no bad celebrity stories. I mostly avoid them, but I have met Matt Groening, Linus Torvalds, and Patrick Swayze, all of who were lovely people.

Mr. Swayze in particular. I met his wife at TradeWest, not knowing who she was and we struck up a conversation. Mr. Swayze then asked me to come for lunch, while I…

Yeah, look. The Pianist is a piece of shit, directed by no one of note, except perhaps to serve as a warning to pedophiles. The film is a gross travesty when compared to the majesty of the book, completely missing Władysław Szpilman's entire point only to serve its own mere "story." Really, this is why he resisted the…

Hand is rotating counter to circular force of the kick. Also, as mentioned prior, the impact of the kick is nearly inconsequential due to striking with the instep at the ankle joint.

Yes. Because Konami is actually the NSA, working to make games that subtly promote the space-lizard agenda. I simply cannot believe that anyone is buying this nonsense.

Look, Mr. Ashcraft, I understand you are frustrated, but please remember that the vast majority of this story was invented by the press itself. When that happens, please do not act indignant when Konami refuses to comment on a made-up story.

The Gamespot piece that most of this is based on is a single-source article. .…

That's true. It was single-source, and there are all sorts of problems with that. For the most part, ethical standards demand multiple sources when dealing in anonymity. There are of course exceptions for things like reporting from war zones or cases where the source's life is in severe danger, but none of that…
