I was also pretty terrible, despite wasting uncountable hours at the arcade. What's strange is that I went back to one of the few remaining a couple of years ago, and easily beat my old records on games that I hadn't played in 20 years.

Any game where nukes help you win is a good game.

It blew the Atari out of the water for gameplay, but didn't make the sales.

So-so attempt, Harvard Professor. Let's see if you can muster up something for Nickelback.

Any Lovecraftian monster seconded.

Evidently you're unaware of the existence of the Hall of Presidents.

Isn't it obvious? Jay Leno is a replicant, out to destroy humanity like Buster Friendly.

Peter Buck's notes make it essential, I think. (Especially his comments about "King of the Road" - it was rare at the time to hear a music track where the musicians were basically just screwing around)

Leno - he's just a dick that doesn't care.

The great thing about the NOW series is that they are as indiscriminate as an atomic bomb - anti-hipsters may bemoan Radiohead's existence, but the only requirement to get inside is to Be A Bestseller. And honestly, there's NOW's (pre-Napster) success story - people buying an album that they think is 80% shite to get

It isn't a 'worse case scenario'. If anything, Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' glosses over things like, say, who's scrubbing the toilets in her Secret Objectivist Lair.
One of the few smart touches of Bioshock 2 was Lamb pointing out that Ryan's belief in the Great Chain was just that - a belief, no different than a

The developers remarked that Atlas was inspired by Keyser Soyze - if you notice, "Patrick and Moira" was the name of Rapture movie on one of the adverts. He's just a practiced liar and trying to play the sympathy card… and also hide his identity from Ryan, who while figured out who you were, never seemed to deduce

I'm curious what's left to make - the city is pretty much destroyed by the end of the game.

The multiplayer has some serious lag issues, which apparently began after a patch was given.
And I doubt newbies like the fact that veteran players get grenade launchers when they only get pistols and shotguns.

It shows a lot of promise. (And considering the non-answers that the BSG finale provided, we really don't know 'how we got there', so to speak).

I always love the delusion that only the "other guys" are corrupt…

The fact that he also ripped into the establishment reporters was hilarious as well. Gosh, why did the NYT focus on an unfunny segment with Bush looking for WMDs in the White House and barely mention Colbert's segment when they had an article on it?

"Tax Joke". Remember, it's CAPITALIZED. (I assume the 'tm' is implied or something).

From someone with a degree in Physics…

What's that? Sorry, I'm too busy in my flying car, watching the hologram news show the shutting down of the last non electronic-based store.
