Metal Gear Solid
…became a parody of itself with MGS2, surely?

Heavy Rain is by the same developer, which might be why it sounds so similar to Indigo Prophecy (Fahrenheit outside the US). That was a great game for a few hours and then once the story got ridiculous everything was ruined. I've heard that the developer took that feedback on board and stuck to a more conventional…

I second the Mieville love, I can't believe one of his books isn't on this list!

Hell yes. Phantasy Star IV is one of my favourite RPGs of the 16 bit era. I never got into this dungeon crawl stuff.

BARGAINS! IMPRISONING ME! ALL THAT I SEE! ABSOLUTE SAVINGS! WHAT A GREAT DEAL! WHAT A GREAT FIND! LOOK AT THESE JEANS! DAMN I LOOK SEXY AS HEEEEELLLLLLLL

Yay
This band is amazing and I am super-stoked that they are back together. New album is great, I think a bit tighter than their previous albums.

I much prefer the Shining Force series to Fire Emblem, although it is far too easy.

I seriously can't think of a label with a better roster of artists than Touch & Go. This is sad news indeed.

Finally
I'm glad people are finally remembering that Lily actually was pretty good the first time around. I think critics have been trying to revise history given how overexposed she was/is. Winehouse isn't fit to shine her shoes.

Lily Allen is great
When I saw Lily live I was quite impressed. She could actually sing and she was charismatic.

Hilariously dated?
I thought Clueless was still hilarious and relevant.

Dear Sloan
Please marry me and allow me to have your collective sonic babies.

All of this delightful commentary on the Strokes has failed to point out that all of them are eminently fuckable. Except maybe Albert Hammond Jnr., he pretty much looks like a drunk homeless guy.

Yes
I agree with all these old people that music these days is shit and it was much better 5 years ago.

Excuse me?
Sugababes are like, an awesome pop band. So don't be hatin'.
