Sorry for being slow, but that's a gorgeous photo and I want to learn to do it too. Did you place a drop of wa on the penny or on the lens or your camera somehow? If the latter, how do you keep it from dripping off due to gravity?

A drop of water? Like, on the lens?

Why? You can still get gmail on the built-in mail client, skydrive is way superior to google drive, and most of these apps are available from third party developers anyway. I love my HTC 8x and the lack of these first party google programs has not impacted my life in the slightest.

Yes, there is a native built-in mail client that will allow you to sign in using your gmail account. I have this exact phone, and honestly the lack of a gmail app doesn't affect me in the slightest.

My favorite part was when he tilted his head back and shot the food pellet out of his mouth like a cannon.

I feel like American developers often use a British accent as shorthand to show that a character is sophisticated, especially female characters. It's a pretty lazy trope, actually, and it can be really funny when every other character has an American accent and they just never address it. Does that count for the tax…

Microsoft really needs to lean on Unity to make their Windows 8 compiler available already. That will increase the number of games available on the Surface by a big margin in one go.

Full disclosure: I'm a Microsoft employee so I got my Windows phone for free, but I love it. It's so much faster and easier to use than my crappy old Android. Granted, it was all fragmented and not running the latest version of the OS, but it was still such a relief to switch.

Why does no one ever mention that this game was written by Rhianna Pratchett? I feel like that's a big deal.

So...art can only be art if it's made by one person? Nothing collaborative can be art? What a pointlessly narrow definition.

Rhianna Pratchett is a superhero and a huge inspiration to me. I hope I get the chance to meet her someday.

Hi. I work at a well-known video game studio as a narrative designer. I am literally the "idea girl" you're talking about. And imagine - they hired me KNOWING that I was female!

I'm feeling a little choked up. It's so sweet that Pratchett's daughter is able to carry on his legacy, it must be such a comfort to him. She's grown up with his novels and I'm sure she'll do a great job. I'll continue to buy discworld novels as I've done for years, and I'll be rooting for her personally too.

I can attest to the fact that this game gets super challenging around the 600m mark. I'm currently in third place on the leaderboards, and I don't know how the guys in 1st and 2nd place managed it.

I love the 'thunk' it makes when you shove someone. It sounds super satisfying. I would seriously play this as catharsis after a long day riding the bus or something.

It's not that weird, I kinda dug it. They're definitely trying to tell a story with a particular aesthetic and mythic structure, but the story was pretty straightforward. Is this weird in the same vein as Kotaku's patented "Isn't Japan Weird?" stories?

These are super popular in Japan! They're called love hotels and you can get an hourly rate. The rooms are often themed. When I went to one with my boyfriend, we got a disco themed room. It had a tiny dance floor. There was an in-room vending machine where we bought pancake scented lube. Also, as we were leaving, we…

You can easily mold wax with your thumb. Just wait a few seconds so you don't get burned.

Hey, this is my division! Too bad I'm graduating this year....at least subsequent generations of IMDers will be able to reap the benefit's of Richard's awesomeness.
