I'm a bit confused- how can the family claim to own a copyright on a photo that the girl herself took? Unless she was a professional photographer or something...

@AdmiralRupert: These hateful children =/= gamers. You are posting on a site meant for gamers, or didn't you know that?

I try to have a sense of humor about this sort of thing, really. I appreciate that being able to laugh at this sort of ridiculous behavior is a good and healthy attitude. But really, right now, looking at some of these messages makes my blood boil.

Worst. Date. Ever.

@MacBandit: You can get it on Ebay for $15-$25.

@sirnicolai: This paragraph is pretty much exactly what I was going to post. And yes, getting all those child actors will be a nightmare unless they go full CGI. Even then, I would prefer for it to be stylized CGI, rather than that vaguely creepy 'realistic' CGI they used for Beowulf and the Christmas Carol movie.…

The song is cute, but the video is totally lame. Did they really only have that one cramped hallway to shoot in?

If Sony doesn't make an optional, snap-on UMD drive, someone else will beat them to it. And make SO MUCH MONEY.

This is really great. I wonder, do video games have an organization like this? They are going through similar first amendment issues right now.

Plants? Hello? Of course the sand is going to erode away if there is no rooted plant life. It's probably not that the designer didn't think of that, but that Dubai's massive economic collapse a few years ago made it impossible to carry out.

@Jimmy1: Do you somehow think that just because we read gizmodo, none of us are affected by unemployment or the economic downturn? Grow up.

I can't stop staring at the Tumblbeasts image. I love, love, love it.

@Mark 2000: This is one of the most depressing buildings I've ever seen. It looks like a farm storage facility. Seriously, what's with the silo?

$4 an hour? That's like half of what a downtown garage would cost in LA. I'd park my crappy car there any day.

"None but a wizard dare raise the curtain and disclose the secrets of the future; and what wizard can do it with so sure a hand as Mr. Thomas Alva Edison, who has wrested so many secrets from jealous Nature? He alone of all men who live has the necessary courage and gift of foresight, and he has not shrunk from the…

At first I thought that this guy was in trouble for photoshopping child porn to plant on someone in order to get a guilty verdict. That would have been friggin awful. The reality is not so bad.

@The5thElephant: That's a very rational point of view, and 100% correct. However, humans are not rational. If I get into an accident and die, I will be dead. To my friends and family, I might still be alive, but this person, this me, will be gone. I mean, it's better than nothing, kind of like having a child that is…

@MetaKz: It looks to me like it's just a rerelease of the Devil Survivor game that came out for the DS a few months ago, although I could be wrong about that.

I've looked around for this with no luck. Can someone tell me what games are going to be available the day of launch? Or am I going to be stuck playing around with the photo manipulator for a couple of weeks?

@Xagest: I feel like all proposals are like that. The very fact that it's kept a secret, and often involves friends and family, just feels to me like preparing a trap.
