Yes, it plays exactly like that. You do get speed upgrade, but I'd say if you hate the way it controls, the game isn't for you. I love it, personally.

Also, I really wish Binding wasn't PC only for now. My roommate and friends keep stealing my laptop so they can play it.

The Binding of Isaac is incredible. Steam says I've played it for 23 hours and I have no intention of stopping - because even after you beat it, you unlock more characters, more items, and even new dungeon floors. For $5, this is the best value in gaming all year. Anyone who loved Super Meat Boy, The (original) Legend…

… You put spoilers around her name? Am I forgetting something?

Everyone, of course, knows and worships Dawes.

Yup, saw the trailer while at Drive (which is as fantastic as reported), halfway through the trailer, I said to my friend, "Oh, so they're dead the whole time?" And then the trailer confirmed it a minute later.

It's worth touching on how fantastic the expanded Horde mode is. By throwing in base building and weapon purchasing, there's a hell of a lot more strategy this time around, and for me, a hell of a lot more fun.

I don't know Dr. Wally, but I can all but guarantee you if he has a werewolf playlist, he has "Wolf Like Me" on it.

Wait, worse effects? That actually takes fucking effort.

I'm just going to go edit every episode of Buffy so she always wears those sunglasses in every scene.

Sophist? Where's your take on the mythology and your behind-the-scenes insight on this episode?

So… season 6, then?

Girls are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands. No shame. I can understand some people making fun of the dude's voice, but I love it and the music he puts around it.

Actually, from what I've heard, the MK Kollection is fairly bad. As in, buggy, completely broken online, and some cases of the emulation just not reproducing the games as they were.

Also, people who hate The Decemberists should give The King is Dead a listen. It loses the grandiosity of most of their recordings, as well as a lot of the pretensions. I especially love "Down By the Water": http://www.youtube.com/watc…

Okay.

If you're in the dumps and you're feeling mellow
Just call on your old friend and NEIGHbor, Horsefellow!
He's not a talking horse, he's no Mr. Ed.
He uses his hooves to type, instead!

GLut - let's not think about the future. Let's think about now. And how I'm right here and I'm going to eat all of your food.

I do! I live right here!!!
