Apparently they're winding up TV Club Classic altogether (which is such a huge bummer – I read old TV Club Classic all the time. I rarely bother with old regular coverage). And if I recall, the Dawson's Creek articles had very few comments.

I quite enjoyed it. It's a kids book and I'm a grown up so my expectations weren't that high.

The reveal about how Elle Fanning's father was responsible for the mother's death was the worst! She picked up his shift? That's ridiculous.

Donkey Kong Country Returns: Tropical Freeze (or whatever it's called) is in the mail, but I am determined to finish Mario and Luigi: Dream Team. I'm really tired of it at this point though, I've finally reached Antasma's castle but I feel like it just keeps going and going. There's probably at least one more of those

…not sure if joking.

If I remember correctly, the Kafei-quest spanned all three days. Then you had to be somewhere five minutes before the end of the world (I think you were supposed to hide and follow him into a cave in the desert of something). Made one wrong move? TOO BAD!

I think it was a thriller.

Bugs me so much that Lily's normal job was replaced with a fantasy dream job. Especially since they made a big point about how she accepted her life and let go of the pipe dream.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU

Well, I didn't really hate the puzzles, it was mostly that they were so poorly connected with the rest of the game's world. It felt lazy.

I wonder if I chose a bad path through the game or something, because I remember quite liking the first five hours or so, but by the end it seemed like all I was ever doing were those boring crystal clock puzzles…

I want to play it, but I'm like an old junkie chasing a high that will never return (didn't enjoy the last two games, nor any other JRPG from the last 12 years or so really). I guess at least I'll wait a few months until the price drops until I embark on yet another disappointment.

Oh no, that's discouraging. I'm not even quite sure how Street Pass works, can you just turn it on in a busy area and let it handle itself from inside your bag? Or do you have to actually play a game and actively allow people to make contact?

Ripping off that arm WAS traumatic. I thought it would be like ripping off a band-aid: One motion - right off! *sobs*

I tend to enjoy end game fetch quests (love them in the Metroid Prime games for instance) but speaking of Windwaker – I really don't enjoy boss rushes. It's like, really – we're doing this again? Yeah, yeah – you get red and angry after two hits, not that impressive a second time…

The discussions related to reviews really do suck on the other sections of this website as well (except for TV, I guess). I sometimes look up a movie (or book) review a few months after release when I've gotten around to it - eager to get the AV Club opinion - and usually there isn't a single comment left by someone

Changes to the control scheme in general, like gyro-controls (balancing on a fallen tree), motion controls (shaking the wiimote like an idiot to collect bananas in Donkey Kong Country Returns) or microphone controls (I was on a long distance train, Nintendo! I didn't want to yell out loud whether I was a BOY or GIRL).

*omg* I was just doing a little dance of triumph for having my comment indirectly mentioned in the roundup and then I got a stud!

Lindblum from FFIX! Or Zora's domain from Ocarina of Time (I guess it doesn't really look like much now, but back in the go-go 90's it seemed like the most magical place in the world to me).

And, like Emily Nussbaum argues, the series finale which just shat on everything that preceded it (the Carrie storyline that is, the other stuff was fine). Nevermind that Carrie had been confronted time and time again with the fact that Mr. Big was emotionally unavailable - showing up at the right time in an
