I still prefer Smuglead, Wotter, and Emboar.

@Eville1 rocks out with his rooster out.: I'm proud I was able to be a part of that.

Come on down, folks, we've got bargains galore at Thoughtwanderer's 10th annual "Stay At Home and Spend Some Time With Your Family Like a Sane Person" after-Thanksgiving sale!

@slotter: It's kind of pitiful how much I love going through my stats in Smash Bros. And those don't track your performance, just stuff like which character you use most.

@ShaggE: Now Commenting In HD:

Yes, "Last Story" is a pretty obvious title swap with "Final Fantasy." But let's be honest, here: when fans think of Sakaguchi, they think of FF, even though it's been six years since he worked on an FF game.

@RedRaptor: Maybe they'll make a prequel. "The Second to Last Story."

@BigManMalone: Sorry, but once you start haphazardly throwing the term "evil" around to describe anyone with a different opinion than you, it becomes impossible to take you seriously.

@Bubbleman! All life begins and ends with Nu..: Not really. She lacks the social confidence to stalk anyone. Which is kind of pathetic if you think about it.

@onlysublime: It's almost as if Japanese developers might have a better idea of what products will appeal to Japanese people!

Well, that's that. Buying a PS3 now.

I always said "It's on like Dixie Kong!" Dixie's got crazy hipster cred.

Holy crap, someone else remembers Flashback and Blasto!

I'm amazed that there are people who are actually bothered by this. This isn't a necessary function or a vital component, it's a cute science fiction gimmick that would be more trouble than it's worth.

@squarebox: About 10-12 bucks a month, I'd say. Doesn't sound like much, but it adds up.

@NoelVeiga: Very well said, Noel. It's easy to forget that the primary reason old games were made so tough was so people would keep putting quarters in them. Without frequent game overs, the machine would never turn a profit. That design philosophy carried over into home games to artificially extend play time. But now…

@PossibleCabbage: Well, back in the old days we had cheat codes and other shortcuts to help us get through tough games. Those seem to have mostly gone the way of the Virtual Boy. I didn't complain about the 30 man code in Contra for the same reason I won't complain about the Super Guide in DKR: no one is forcing the…

For the last couple of months, I've made it a habit to unplug my electronics when I'm not using them. It's ridiculous how much money you save for such a small thing. Of course, it's equally ridiculous that the people who made my TV and game consoles decided I need a little light to tell me when they're turned off.

A jingoistic FPS? How novel!

@Salen: Funny how as soon as Milli Vanilli were exposed as frauds, this episode mysteriously disappeared from the rerun schedule.
