@Hatebunny: Delight. My nipples explode with delight.

@Interstella5555: Leonard!

I remember a Flash based racing game LEGO had to promote this large LEGO Technic 4x4 truck kit they sold years ago. For some reason, people even cheated at that, posting run times of 12 seconds or less, whereas a legitimate run usually took at least a minute.

@Liquid-X: I do believe you mean the second largest you've ever seen.

I thought Smoke & Mirrors was never released.

One thing posters seem to be missing: cross-compatibility and pay once for multiple versions of a game. I can buy and play my games on my Mac, and if my future is full of Windows machines, I can still keep playing without shelling out a single nickle. Also keep in mind the oft-rumored Linux client.

@Kocrachon: ...which could potentially mean mediocre games with done to death stories and mechanics because it's a known formula that brings in the greatest amount of revenue. No thank you. Keep Gabe in the driver's seat.

@Scarecrow_Jack: Try this: continued support for games made years ago, with regular updates, bug fixes, and sometimes completely new content to have fun with. Most importantly, it is all free. Try getting that from any other game company.

@Codman24: Funny stuff. Don't think I can really say any more, except anyone who gets a parody song recorded for them must really be big (and no, that is not a dig at his weight).

Battle for Wesnoth. Midevel fantasy turn based strategy game. Not only free to own and play, but also free to modify. The game's code and resources are open source and freely available to anyone. Includes single player scenarios and multiplayer matches. There's also a iPod Touch/iPhone/iPad version for a mere…

@infinitezero: Maybe after the price drops to $20 or so. I still feel ripped off buying MW2 for $60.

@Sight: From the TF2 blog:

This may sound weird to you, but I originally bought this game months ago just to see Max and the Heavy interact with each other. Not for hats, not for unlockables. I just wanted to see 4 over-the-top video game characters play a game of Texas Hold 'Em together.

@coddan: I'm more used to having a well written and produced single player game with a multi player component tacked on willy nilly, like the previous Call of Duty games, or Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast. Like the great, almighty Yahtzee, I think a game should be able to stand on its single player content alone, and…

@DarkC: Amen to that.

This is just one of the reasons why I have left the multi player component untouched. Although the single player was decent, I still feel ripped off spending $60 on it.

@SG-17: Were's my Freelance Police!?

@Zeix: No.

I would like to point out that from what little I can hear in that video, its not the Monkey Island theme song, but rather the background music for the town of Woodtick on Scabb Island in Monkey Island 2.

Yep, as mentioned before, that is Zack Finfrock and the guyzos over at Wayside Creations. These days they run Backyard FX, a YouTube show where they show you how to make movie props for cheap. The Iron Man glove episode above is one of my favorites of theirs, if only for the test film alone.
