Not mentioned here: Lola's Math Train, which becomes so much more intriguing when you misread it as Lola's Meth Train.

After ten years the coolness of having Billy Zane voice Ansem still hasn't worn off. Billy Zane!

As are you! It's without a doubt my favorite and I try not to miss any opportunity to gush about it in the hopes of finding fellow fans.

That Steve Hackett, man

When I read this, I read it as Sword of Vermilion and got excited.

Don't think music from (this) Wild ARMs has been posted yet. When it hits the whistle around 0:18...the feelings start to happen.

You're right, I completely forgot about that (I remembered him being fine in 4 but I forgot they...rebuilt him). That would make much more sense, then.

Even though it's quite certainly a Snake in the trailer, the only characters I can think of that lose arms are Ocelot and Liquid (after dying). I doubt Liquid has anything to do with this, but Ocelot *does* undergo some kind of psychotherapy/hypnosis/something that's explained in the end of 4. It's been years since…

On a scale from "hand-me-down Game Boy when your older brother got a Game Boy Advance" to "that N64 on Christmas when you also got a pony," how would you compare your giddiness upon opening the WiiU?

Well, at least they're being consistent.

I grew up playing Mario is Missing and I never realized until now that that's where he came from.

"Sketches for my Sweetheart..." had a cover of Genesis's "Back in N.Y.C." They're absolutely my favorite band and the song is from my favorite album; it's rare for any non-relatively-obscure prog band to cover them, and for someone as talented as Buckley to do so is simply wonderful. It's a fantastic cover that he…

So who you gonna hire next, Mr. Writer-from-Japan? Chilly Willy? Or Screwy Squirrel?

That gave me the image of running around as Dracula doing errands for the bosses in order to keep them happy.

Any and every reference to In the Year 2525 is beautiful in my book. Bravo.

If he'd made this a reality then I'd be really impressed.

"Ratchet & Clank and Uncharted are nice and all..."

Surprised at no Force Your Way or Find Your Way from VIII. I guess I can see Find Your Way being too ambient for a rhythm game but the lack of Force Your Way is surprising.
