Ha, I did this cover a couple years ago for a buddy of mine. My favorite Hank tune. Game looks fantastic too.

Thick? That's a bit presumptuous. I know it's a fucking gag dude. I'm aware it's a character. It's still fucking retarded, annoying, long, and obnoxious.

Does this guy have actual fans? Can anyone sit through these rants? Serious question.

I went on tour instead of going to my prom. I'd rather not remember high school.

The advertising may have been strange, but I fucking loved my Gamecube. I think the Wii advertising is stranger. Two Japanese men in suits showing up randomly at your door? Creepy.

I completely agree with good ole Molly here. People get bent the fuck out of shape when you don't drop what you're doing and tell them what you're having for lunch.

Here we fucking go with the PC elitist posts. Get a life.

Creative ideas will come regardless of how powerful the platform is. That's not the debate here really. The conversation really is based around the features of the hardware, right? Power, functionality, online, etc. It has nothing to do with software...

Ah, the good old days. You're absolutely right. Sure games will look better, but the differences are certainly more subtle these days.

Exactly. These small tech jumps aren't really as jaw-dropping as they once seemed. I don't think we'll ever have that Mario 64 moment ever again.

True, and that would be great! But is that really a "wow-factor" in terms of selling a console? To most people, not really.

I play some PC games, the best of the best still isn't photo realistic. Gorgeous, but we're not there yet. Also, isn't this topic about consoles?

I do think we've reached a point of diminishing returns. Graphics-jumps aren't quite AS impressive as say, the jump from SNES to n64. More particles, better animations, more polygons, etc...but nothing close to the photorealistic future we all dream of. And this motion-controlled future all the hardware makers want us…

Mitt Romney? Really?

:) Thank you for the link!

Oh my god. I want more of these.

I guess according to their data, I don't exist. I use Netflix exclusively, and piggyback on my parents HBO service from 1500 miles away by authenticating it on my machines at home. I suppose I'll have to break down and figure out a solution when Football season starts, but I don't watch that much TV, and I sure as…

Is it a shock that Twitter would be in bed with NBC? Not to me.

This is just an excuse to post this Tom Waits interview...I don't really see the similarities. I, however, completely back the decision to have Tom Waits on Kotaku.

It's not like that on iPhone, for some reason. I don't really think you're meant to play games with it. That would be incredibly frustrating. I like using it for Netflix though :)
