@Benedinho: I agree. That would be extremely tiring. I would much prefer a lessened ratio, maybe like 1:5. Zelda: Twilight Princess on the Wii had it right. Swing the controller slightly to swing the sword on-screen; I never got sore from that motion, and it made the game much more enjoyable.

The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw.

Steam's Game Special of the Day: Star Wars: Battlefront II for $5. I know I'll be downloading that today.

@CrispyAardvark: I actually had bought some ninja stars in France, and my college roommate and I would practice throwing them at a styrofoam-and-duct tape target. We stopped after I missed the target entirely and buried the star two inches into the closet door. Yeah, our landlord wasn't too happy about that.

I would get this if it was another dollar. I've been stuck on episode 3, level 12 for about three months now, and I don't even pick up the game anymore because it's so frustrating. It's the level with the stone, wood, and glass houses, with the little pigs hiding underneath the floor. I've gotten every pig but one…

@Chambana: Monocle smile!

I've also read an article (can't find the source) where men and women's brains react differently to different movies. When a man sees a violent movie, only 4 spots in the brain register. But when a women watches that same movie, there are 7 areas of activity in the brain, most of them centered around emotions. …

I bought that panasonic TV with the iPod dock back in June, for about that same price because it was a floor model. Good quality, and it's enjoyable being able to pipe pandora through my room.

@c010rb1indusa: I agree. My wife and I bought our 3G's in March. Yes, we knew that a new iphone would be coming out in June, which would most likely drop the 3GS to $99, but we didn't want to wait the three months to get an iphone. Besides, the only difference from a 3G to 3GS was a faster processor, a video…

@sweetelectro: I have one. And when I was stranded, accidentally left my cell phone at home, and couldn't call long distance (my whole family's cell phone area codes are out of state), i was really happy that I could go to a nearby house and call my house phone. Plus, it's nice when my wife forgets to turn her cell…

I remember I got my star on my first comment, the one where you supposed to "audition" to be a commenter.

I'm excited for this update. I'll gladly give up my jailbreak with themes and multitasking if it means I can launch my camera app in under a minute.

My wife works at a company that does a lot of business with ATK, and she said that those rockets' spending was cut. As in, last week. So, no Constellation rockets in 2015. Soon, they're going to be shooting off all the ones they've made so far, to destroy them.

@geekymitch: That's true. Though I do remember seeing this same kind of death (head stuck in the liquid nitrogen) on an episode of X-Files back in the day. Gave me nightmares for a few days.

@USB_Humping_Dog: So true. I don't need to buy expensive game apps, because Dealzmodo finds at least four to five a week that become my new favorites. And all for FREEEE!!!!

@geekymitch: Which is another myth that Mythbusters tried (I tried to find the clip on youtube, but came up empty). And they found that even with leaving the head in for 5 minutes, the head still wouldn't shatter.

I loved the Tom Swift book series as a kid.

I once drove some books to the city library, only to find that my car wouldn't start after that. The library was closed (I was just dropping off the books) and I had left my cell phone at home because I was only going to be gone a few minutes. I actually had to go to a neighboring house, and use their phone book to…

Oh, Free iPhone Apps, how I love you. I have over $100 worth of apps on my phone, for maybe $5. And that's not counting the ones I've downloaded and deleted after a few days.

@Radian: Agreed. I got one as a wedding present, and trying to make chicken salad is a nightmare. Those ridges catch everything, making it necessary to stop, use a spatula to put the food back in the blade's path, lock the cover back on, and pulse for two seconds before you have to repeat the whole thing.
