When the first Chumby came out, the main universal criticism was that it couldn't run on battery. They finally have a chumby that can run on a battery. So now Sony will have it's own Chumby, for double the price...and no battery?

@deanbmmv: Sonic the Hedgehog. The original. I hate that game. I never understood why so many people love it.

It's weird to watch video games with the sports announcers.

@Legion329: I agree that opinions in reviews should be carefully considered in order to make sure that they are fair, but regardless, they are subjective. You can't have a review without subjectivity, it would be a summary.

@Darksaber2: I disagree completely that art style should not affect a review. An art style is an element of the gaming experience. If you think that it's insignificant, then you can easily dismiss that part of the review, but other people may be interested.

@JazzNeurotic: It's true that both Luke and Mike expressed opinions on the game. The difference is that Mike took it a step further over criticizing the article and made it a personal attack on Luke. Effectively, he's passing judgment on everything that Luke has or will write based on this one article.

@mabadaba: In any opinion piece, like a review, it is implied that any statement reflects the writer's opinion.

@Legion329: A review is subjective by definition. It's all personal opinion. There's no such thing as an objective review. The kotaku reviews are even organized by "loved" and "hated". What could be more obviously subjective?

@Koztah: The key word being having the right tools. They can add up.

@(Starman) NONAME: Do you actually use it for mountain biking or do you just prefer the geometry? If it's the latter, I would opt for a sporty hybrid bike. While many hybrids are too upright, some out there have a similar geometry to mountain bikes and are a lot faster on roads and better suited for commuting than…

@SophT: It's a lot more instant than working 2 or 4 years for a degree.

@lance.uppercut: I disagree with the value of kids working as soon as they can. I think for a lot of kids who start working early, they become accustomed to the instant gratification of a paycheck for their work and devalue the less tangible benefits of a good education or training.

@rymas1: It's great that he raised money for his team, I'm not making the comparison to say that THON is more worthy. I'm just saying that a lot of people do things that are as physically impressive as this all the time. This is a record that seems more about doing something that is oddly specific with Guinness paying…

@oogabubchub: I danced with ARHS a few years ago when it was still in Rec Hall. $7.5 million is amazing! Our year was the first year they broke $4 million.

@AnimaOnline: I'm not faulting him for raising money, nor am I calling him lame (sorry if that was unclear). I just mean that the actual feat itself isn't really impressive enough warrant world-record recognition as there are many people out there doing things that are at least that impressive all the time (like THON).

This seems like a pretty lame World Record. At Penn State I did THON which is an annual fundraiser where you have to stand for 48 hours. Nothing against this guy for doing a game marathon to raise money, it just doesn't seem all that impressive from a record setting standpoint. Hundreds of people do THON each year.

I had a a few friends growing up whose parents were really overbearing about what movies they could see. One of my friends still had to ask to watch PG-13 movies after she turned 13. Did this ruin their lives? No. It was annoying at the time, but it the long run it didn't really make a difference. My mom was a little…

I'm waiting for the official announcement to pass final judgment, but without all the details, I'm disappointed that this is Apple's answer to the netbook. I really would have loved to see an Apple netbook that (1) has an actual keyboard (2) folds to protect the screen (3) costs significantly less than a macbook.

I've never understood how smoking can be considered cool or glamorous when it makes you smell disgusting. I always thought that this should be the angle that they use with anti-smoking campaigns. It's obviously not cool to smell bad. Instead of using some nebulous, intangible threats of an unhealthy future, focus on…

@GunFlame: I thought the opposite, it was completely unrealistic. You can't even smoke in public places in many states today, the idea of someone smoking in an environmentally controlled lab or even in the workplace would be completely ridiculous today and based on trends, even more ridiculous in the future.
