the whole breakfast was breathtaking!

Wait
Smooth (I remember it being spelled 'Smoove') wasn't considered good/pop enough for the NOW music bubble? That's pretty surprising. I remember it being huge.

I agree, and when I read it I took that statement to be more in-line with what you're describing. AvP fails (and fails where many videogames before it have failed) by botching the critical need for the money moments to retain their power throughout the game.

An Ecco reboot has the potential to be really cool. Remember when the original Genesis game was supposed to be some avant-garde shit? I certainly was impressed with it as a ten-year-old. I remember trying to convince my friends that the game was serene and relaxing, a different sort of videogame, and subsequently was…

I'm still reading too, ricin! Your voice will not go unheard!

The Last Guardian is supposedly coming this year. Given how little we've seen of it, I'm not keeping my hopes up.

People have been talking about 'artistic compositions' in chess for years now. Never quite figured out what those nerds meant.

Also, who HATES Shaun White? I could see annoyed dismissals, but HATE? He just snowboards real good and has a comic mop top of red hair. Am I missing something? Did he drop some racial slurs on the half-pipe or something?

I'm surprised when any game these days doesn't include the square-jawed stylings of Nolan North.

I generally agree, and any geek can tell from my username that I love killer7 and playing it was probably the most rewarding experience I've ever had in front of a console. I like devs and publishers trying new things that scare people. But for me, Heavy Rain feels a little like it's ashamed to be a video game. Heavy…

I always thought Magritte's "The Menaced Assassin" looked like the opening sequence for a really surreal action game.

I Love
that Michael marked his height(s) on the wall in his office. It's stuff like that, man.

Yeah, are they really worth a reboot?

My cousin's a professional coolhunter, and he's got the biwa pegged for big, big movement.

Lovecraft: CHEX QUEST. Thanks for just unlocking a floodgate. I played the hell out of that as a little tyke, when DOOM was still kinda freaky.

This is probably the most pumped I've ever been for a reality show's finale…
…because I so love my horse in the race, and so hate his adversaries. Well, Bryan's alright, in a professional, no-nonsense kind of way, but douche volt just simply cannot win.

I'll be the ten billionth person to agree that SyFy's original programming is indeed baffling. Like the reviewer wrote, every new project that SyFy probably thinks is some badass, mass-appeal "reimagining" just ends up looking really, really generic and sloppy. Putting the Yeah Yeah Yeahs song in the commercial just…

I was thinking the same thing…

Just gonna jump on board with the Jules Feiffer love. The Man in the Ceiling made a big impact on me in grade school.

Either way, all I can imagine is an old man sitting on an outsized throne, fidgeting uncomfortably underneath a pile of plate mail. Are they gonna buff him up a bit with CGI?
