Who's Poliver?

I'm all for it if it spawns a porn parody.

Wow. So much win. Funny commercials, pretty girls... And the beer commercial starting 4:08 on the next-to-last video is beautifully done. Even tho I don't understand a word they're saying (well, except the English parts scattered throughout) I could watch those for much longer than I would lots of trashy movies and…

Didn't you guys just the other day report japanese wii Us came with a preinstalled play-by-the-hour karaoke game? Hourly game payment seems to be relatively common in asia, it's not exactly novel, other than the fact it's being introduced this side of the ocean.

Question: So it clears most everything from the Wii U memory. Can I then get an SD card where I have said stuff (especially game saves) backed up and then restore them to the original wii?

Brazil has always been in the same region as the USA (NTSC, ie. Americas). We're out of luck regarding those hard-to-find Japanese RPGs (same as Americans are), but everything else should be fine. Even if they decide to make a separate store for Brazil or South America (as iTunes does), we'll still get the same prices…

There's a huge point for people who live in countries where the games aren't officially distributed. All games are imported here in Brazil, for instance, which means you're looking at a month of waiting, and then practically double prices for all the import tariffs and the importer's cut.

I actually find wm+n far superior to analog... And far inferior to kb+m, of course. Goes to show how much i hate analog stick aiming.

Whoah! The art deco icons/bars in "The Internet 1996 World Exposition" are strikingly similar to the UI art in Civilization V.

I thought about that myself... But then again, there are plenty of snakes which are about as long, proportionally, and we don't hear abou them dying of entanglement. Then again (again) snakes are probably smarter than millipedes.

I can't help but be a tiny bit annoyed when people are making an affirmative statement or giving their opinion on something and then finish the phrase in an interrogative?

"(...) to relive fatigue and weakness in the back and knees"

This either shows someone who developed a very high skill in a certain action or someone who's cheating. Either way, I'm pretty sure it makes the game quite miserable to people on the other end of the scope. Which, imo, screams "broken game mechanic".

Physical fight, considering they were both the same age... JRR, hands down. Tolkien was drafted, trained for and fought in World War I (even tho he didn't want to), while GRR declined going into Vietnam and has always been, afaik, a couch potato.

Whoah! It looks pretty good! It's on the to-watch list now.

Can someone please, please, explain me why a grouping of books targeted at ages 13-19 is called "young adult"? Because ages thirTEEN to nineTEEN clearly spells teen-ager to me. If a boy/girl is 17, he/she is NOT an adult yet, and cannot, logically, be a "young adult". Heck, I'm 28 and I consider myself a young adult…

it was just something that tickled my OCD bone =)

"antropomorphic maps (...) turning russia into a giant octopus and the united states into an eagle"

but does it have a Goldilocks asteroid belt? http://io9.com/5956970/our-asteroid-belt-is-unique-++-and-thats-why-life-may-be-rare-in-the-galaxy

Eh. I was talking about Montreal 2007. Thought it was clear, since we were talking about safety in F1; sorry if it wasn't.
