Other great freeware games?
Anyone want to recommend other freeware games to check out? (And yes, you should definitely play Cave Story. But only with a gamepad. It would be madness on a keyboard.)

Nothing to add here, just want to say thank you.

I'm with you, Snakes. Loved the game up until the end with the super boss. Spent an hour or so of trial and error to get to him, only to discover that (a) there's no save right before you fight him, (b) virtually no health upgrades, so you go into the fight damaged already, and (c) are supposed to figure out how to…

Sharpless, I actually laughed out loud. I'm stealing "give it to my face" for the right occasion.

Actually, ChicJanowicz, you're clearly smarter than me. I didn't get it until the second comment, and then I chuckled. Bronsonman, good joke, and thanks for breaking it down for me.

It's one of the few non-fucked up things about copyright law. There's a fixed, non-negotiable, and relatively reasonable licensing rate you pay to do a cover of a song. There's no such rate if you want to use the recording of the performance.

You all suck. Or maybe it's that I was the perfect age when all the music you hear is what you love decades later, but this song is awesome. (Looking through the list, there are no less than six songs on this CD that I still really like. Which seems really wrong somehow.)

Wait, no love for Working Girl?

RagingBear: I've been debating whether A Apple is a real person. He seems almost like one of the gimmick posters on this board, where his gimmick is bile. If you view him in that light, he's kinda funny.

Mr. Tusks, the love comes from its scope. I was hooked on the game the moment I went into the city and saw the god of war kicking down buildings and people like they were ants. I felt small watching it. And then you kill that guy. Or rather, you kill that god. It takes the fantasy and pretend hero aspects to…

In Living Color
I don't know about your band "Living Colour", but it made me think of something else that aged so so poorly. I remember watching In Living Color thinking it was just groundbreaking, hilarious comedy. I saw a couple minutes on a rerun a few years ago, though, and cringed at the "racism without nuance…

Broken Arrow and Minority Report are the shittiest movies you've ever seen? Really? They're not great, but dude. I reserve shittiest movie status for movies that make me angry with their terribleness. Your two movies are at worst forgettably mediocre (but actually, I remember quite a bit from Minority Report, so…

I've always felt Garden State got a bad rap because it was so prone to that backlash feeling. On the whole it's not very good, but it has a couple really great visuals (really love the scene with Zach Braff wearing pajamas that perfectly match the wallpaper). I just think that people feel cheated because it pretends…

Bill, don't worry, it's good. I had the same hesitation you did. Still watched the entire series in a month or so. Is it the greatest show ever made? No show can meet that hype. Just keep it at very good.

Paraphrased:

Um, dude. This is a show about a guy that gets superpowers because he sees a bunch of images really quickly. (But yeah, I thought the same thing. Also, he can see the Eiffel tower from the plane window. Also, they probably could've opened that box with a saw, rather than sending him around the world to get the…

So glad to see Ferguson getting some respect. The guy does a really good job at making you feel like you're just hanging out with a friend who's in a goofy mood.

Gimmick judge, I hear what you're saying, but the premise is good enough I appreciate seeing him around. Maybe the best thing to do would be not even try to capture the voice. Just begin a sentence with something vaguely on point, then take a cut and paste from the interview itself. That thing was so epic and so…

I'm with the people hating on Big Bang Theory, I've watched a few episodes on this site's recommendation, and I can't understand all the fuss. It has never been more than the mediocre show I assumed it was from the beginning.

What planet are you writing from? With the exception of Ebert, who's known for his occasional bafflingly good reviews of bad movies, Phantom Menace was universally panned. The reviews all said something like, "It sucks, but I know you'll go watch it anyway." And I did. And I hated it in the theater. Still regret…
