The first time I played Mario 64 was at Blockbuster kiosk as well! Very cool to hear your account of it, because it's a very vivid memory for me.

I definitely can get behind your reasoning in regards to how side dish looks like chipped up potatoes. That seems like it would be the best answer :) When I think of potato chips, I would describe them as crunchy and not crispy. Perhaps our friends across the pond use crispy as their adjective more uniformly than we…

I apologize for my lateness to this thread; how did the name for the snack-food "crisps" come around? I have always been curious about that one!

I'm hearing from this review that there is a good Sonic game to be had. That's good enough for me. I miss Sonic games, and when Sega was a major player on the console & software stage.

THE BULLET IS ENOURMOUS!

I've not heard that quote, thank you for sharing that!

With the government shut down, I've been defunded of my ability to pronounce John Boehner's name correctly. Couldn't resist that joke! Anyway; I'm just hoping there will be some eleventh-hour deal to avoid crippling the economy.

Looks good! I wonder if they'll get another voice-over artist to ham it up as the narrator...

Oh man, this is an absolutely wonderful image! I nearly died laughing, thank you for posting this!

I wonder what's going on here on this sign...

Man, I played this game so much when I was a kid. I gave up my first time playing though, I had a hell of a time with the water routing puzzle.

I bought the disc. I've got an adequate connection, but for some things I just like picking up the physical game.

I've been playing the PS3 version since launch, as a matter of fact. It's really great so far, I hope the online GTA is the same caliber.

This is true, especially with the Gamecube's mini-DVD format. This discussion will seem funny once a new, higher-capacity format comes along.

I am definitely excited for GTA online. And it is shocking how Rockstar pushed the current gen hardware to create such a magnificent game.

Luckily, it's just an opinion. I'm not selling you a phone, so I don't know why my opinion rankles you so.

I'm with you, I know it's a silly thing to think, but I do. I just feel like we left it behind with the 32-bit, CD games. I also feel like you have a point; this coming generation will probably have a few games with multiple discs.

I decided not to get the game for the Xbox 360 because I had a feeling this would happen. There's something off-putting about having a game come on two discs this generation, at least for me. The game itself is wonderful, and I hope everyone having problems gets them resolved!

Rockefeller's bill, introduced back in January, was a response to the Sandy Hook shootings of December. It directs the National Academy of Sciences to "conduct a comprehensive study and investigation of the connection between violent video games and violent video programming and harmful effects on children."

All the neat, convenient stuff does have a learning curve, I'll concede that point. In the grand scheme of things though, it's still easier than having to use a book to type games into your commodore 64, nostalgic though it may be.
