I knew I hearted you for a reason. I'm LOLing at your pic.

I'm not a big fan of the Stern pinball machines but I'm glad that someone is keeping pinball alive. What Stern fails to realize is that all pinball machines require two things: a large set of breasts. Really, it makes EVERY pinball machine better.

Indeed. Gottleib as well.

I don't know, I can think of at least a dozen MUST-OWN games for the Gamecube. I opened Textpad and without thinking too hard about it came up with 19. Sure the vast majority of them are Nintendo made games but there are definitely more than 5.

I have a BS in Business/Econ, thank you. :P What you're talking about is a controlled economy while I prefer a more free economy.

Even the idea of reservations seems a bit out of my league at times ...

You mean the class of people who took Economics 101? Yeah, I'll be there. Meanwhile the Karl Marx was fuzzy and cute meeting is out by the dumpster.

You can't really agree or disagree on economic facts but whatever.

You clearly don't understand that if wages were lower then people wouldn't have the buying power and demand lower prices forcing the market to bear lower prices. Eventually without arbitrary and false government controls, the market would figure its own minimum wage.

Jeez, and I was opposed to being taken to a restaurant that would cost $60 for two people. Part of it stems from not being able to afford it but a big chunk of it is that no food can ever be worth THAT much money. It's all about being seen and showing off.

Why does minimum wage even exist? It's a ridiculous concept. No one would work for 5 cents an hour so the market would demand that the employer pay market rate for their labor. This happens every day in most every industry except the jobs that pay minimum wage. Minimum wage is nothing more than a welfare type program…

An NES Play Choice 10 was installed in my local supermarket and we were NEVER allowed to play it when Mom took us to the grocery store. Sometimes we'd pretend to play the demo but we weren't allowed to have any quarters to play.

No, Giz will post about tools to get rid of the future Republican president. It will be Anti-Bush all over again.

I've been trying to tune it out since 2008. It seems Obama's been on the campaign trail ever since he was inaugurated.

None, unless you want a second one. I'm saying if you don't own a Wii or Gamecube. I own two GCNs and a Wii.

The Dreamcast is the most overrated console. Really, it was good but if people loved it as much as they claimed to, Sega would be in the hardware business today.

The unemployment numbers are only "better" because of the spin. They took people off the list as eligible employees and many just stopped looking.

On a side note, Gamecubes are piled ceiling to floor at every Gamestop and can be had for $30. If you don't own at least one, you're missing out on the most underrated console of all time.

I can't imagine a knife block with a sharpener (even a honer) working very well, though.

I put one of these on my wedding registry: www.amzn.com/B000Q4I9LM I've heard good things about them online and thought I might give it a shot.
