You don't *need* street pass. You can have the one or two villagers you get by default in the game do all the work rebuilding and upgrading the shops, it just takes longer. But street pass will make it much easier. And all you have to do to pick up a pile of people is take your 3ds to a mcdonalds or home depot or best…

Sold! When should I pick you up?

Its easy to track down anyone trying to hide in London. Just wait until they use an Underground ticket then pay close attention to the movements immediately before and after to narrow down which ones. Sure sometimes he'll use a Black Ticket to hide the subway ride instead of taking the boat, but he always slips up…

Perfection.

This is the first I've heard of the rerelease and I was all excited to own a physical (and legal) copy that I might finally read all the way through. But no way am I buying it in individual issues. You want to gouge me, do it with some stupid hundred dollar oversized hardcover collection like Absolute Watchmen. Then I…

I found someplace you could download most of these so I didn't have to wait for everyone involved to work out their legal issues to read it. But after a couple of them I found it hard to continue. The story seemed to be the standard "power corrupts" kind of thing which we've seen done to death as of late. Perhaps not…

Bravely Default demo is well worth playing. Played some of the latest Pokémon with my son and it reminded me how much I sometimes enjoy a JRPG. Heard some cool things about what Bravely Default does with Street Pass and decided to give it a try. A weekend later and its the game I'm most eagerly awaiting.

There's a difference. They are kind of taking a metaphysical stance on the theoretical nature of art and its existence via interaction with the viewer. Shia is claiming to do the same to cover his ass. They mention above they considered putting a character based on him in the series. I doubt the portrayal would be…

"Doug, do you even know who Bob Dylan is?"
"I know he died of drugs."
"He's still alive… I produced his last album…"
"You mean Uncle Robert?"
"Yeah."

My four year old loves it too but doesn't differentiate between the singer and the song. So now that Team is the one all over the radio, she just calls it Royals too.

Maybe he accidentally watched Trick R Treat or Ginger Snaps instead.

My son started playing puzzle quest on the DS when he was about 2 or 3. And by playing I mean poking pieces that failed to combine, losing his turn, then giggling furiously when the computer opponent would release some devastating chain move against him. As far as he was concerned, he'd still caused it since he'd…

That's about the time of MTV AMP. Fluke, Aphex Twin, Daft Punk, Prodigy, Future Sound of London. Good times. I still have the Wipeout XL CD I bought just for the extended Herd Killing remix of We Have Explosives.

You've got the understanding of a four year old.

Or alternately they make 80s synth pop for kids who don't want to listen to their parents music. Or even more alternately, they make synth pop for adults like me who still like the sound of lots 80s pop but want to listen to new music so they don't stagnate and die.

Assuming I actually understood the movie and don't just think I did, I think the main thing is that like Primer it was a realistic alt-reality hard sci fi, but instead of time-travel it was about consciousness altering drugs. How they were created, how they were abused, and the long term effects they had on the people…

New full reskin DLC from DreamWorks as a marketing tie-in?

Snail Shell was agood EP. A sequel to "She's a Hotel Detective" and perhaps the most train-like of train songs ever.
I don't waaaaant to be first in line to see Mrs Traaaaaaaaaaain.

My favorite tasteless GIF is the world is this one which came out shortly after Katrina:

That was the thing. There was nothing really explicit about it. But it was too unsetting for the MPAA so they requested it be cut before it got an R, even though having the main character commit unsettling acts was kind of the point of the movie. And Blockbuster refused to carry NC17 films at the time and it was the…
