And an even finer counterpoint...

Well, except for the part where he paid Activision $100,000 to settle a lawsuit they filed against him over alleged selling of pirated games.

And I couldn't imagine trying to get a Chevy Monza around Monza...

My parents used to have a rule: Never buy a car with a name that sounds like you could sneeze it. Of course, this was back when you could still buy a Daihatsu in the US...

Well, he had already won pretty much everything but the kitchen sink...

Hmmm... There's 3 cards at the top of the page, one of them is Gabe Newell, and he's wearing an HEV suit...
HALF LIFE 3 CONFIRMED!

That's cool. Now hurry up and get to work on that screen door I wanted for my submarine.

I take it you couldn't find a Bricklin then?

If I had to guess, the 3% are probably mad because the freebies are stuff they paid for at some point.

I'm using a K90 currently, and although it's got its flaws (one key with a flaky backlight on mine, which is apparently not an isolated problem from what I've read) I really like the look and feel of it. The aluminum surface is nice and solid, and far less prone to collecting stuff in between the keys than many…

Too many people willing to work for low pay just to say they work in the game industry.

For realism, shouldn't they have about 100 more people crammed into that train?

I'm reminded a bit of Gunvalkyrie, an early Xbox game that had some really good action and a similar style and some similar mechanics. I never got too far in it though, owing mostly to a ridiculously convoluted control scheme that made it really tough to play.

Too bad they couldn't throw this one in:

Oh, and one other thing: For the games that have it (3, 4 and the PSP version of 2) I'd recommend skipping any DLC until after you've finished the main story. In the second one in particular, there are a couple of (free) DLC characters that can be completely game-breaking.

Over the years I've spent way too many hours on the various Disgaea games. A couple of things I'd add:

Yeah, that was pretty much my first thought too.
