@Knoxximus Kiryu: I'm glad that games are there for you, but I would be out the door in a second if my partner ever said something like that to me.

@bobtheduck in Korea: Thanks, and thanks for making it through the ridiculously long post. I have to work on being concise.

@GGear0323: I had forgotten that number signs will turn anything into tags. It does end up looking wikipedia-ish, except that clicking on the "links" won't actually take you anywhere useful.

@lineypi: I think you're right about the age thing. Going to the movies when I was younger was often an excuse to get out of the house or dorm. Now things are set up the way I like and I enjoy watching things at home. If I'm going to see something in the theater, I want it to be something that's worth seeing on a big…

In reference to Halo 3 on the expensive games list:

This process is very fascinating. I like the final box art, but I find #5 to be a visual mess (though good in concept). It makes me curious how each of these covers would have looked if they went through the entire design process.

@Anonononomous: At least this time it's easy to look up.

This argument seems pretty weak. First off, they are talking about a 3 month trend. Videogames might be steadily increasing in popularity, but nothing has happened in the last 3 months that would suddenly shift the habits of moviegoers. Secondly, none of the movies they cite as examples of this domination are really…

I like the concept and the artist is clearly talented, but it would be nice to be able to opt for a shirt that wouldn't be completely embarrassing to be seen wearing in public.

@madammina: The level design in Psychonauts. Every one was completely unique and some of them absolutely blew me away.

@flox44: I like this series. I've been keeping an eye out for a new one, it's been a while.

@legendnthemaking: A diamond ring and a 360 + games? You are going all out for this.

Damnit! I just watched it because I was so curious on how they would attempt to make this sound exciting. I could have just read this. Wait, didn't Barmy get kicked off? He gave the tearful goodbye.

I'm not a person that thinks it's my right to pirate games (I don't pirate), but if I pay for a game, I do think it's my right to have unrestricted access to play it.

The story about the BMX XXX would have been a lot more interesting if we could actually see the cover than he designed. He's talking about how non-traditional designs get rejected, but we don't even get to see an example. How is that meaningful? How do we know that it wasn't rejected for some other reason?

@D-K: Definitely Pokemon.

@Y-bot: Fear of fear

@SuicidalEarthworm: I don't understand why BC is such a big deal. Taking a quick gander at craigslist, there are tons of PS2s for sale in the $30-50 range.

@atg1: I used to be all about finding every little thing and using guides to make sure I miss nothing, but I've gotten myself out of that habit because it takes a lot of fun out of the game. Now I refuse to even look at a guide unless it's to help me with a very specific issue that is threatening to ruin the game for…

@masonsturtle: I almost always wait. I just can't justify to myself to spend $60 on a game when there are still a bunch on great games in the $20 range that I haven't played yet.
