@bangbangblah: Is it just me, or would most people, even non-millionaires, not even ask for any change back, given the numbers involved? And I take cabs on a regular basis, but I don't live in NY. Are tips included there? I could see a cabbie lying about having bills, but I can't really see lying over $0.20. Although…

@gold163 BLOOD HEAT: Wow. Against all odds, I made it all the way through. Truly, that was a triumph of trampolines, explosions, and guys who were clearly not in any way severed in two over coherence. When you absolutely, positively cannot afford to watch Star Wars, surely there is a neighbor's oven you could stick…

@adoggz: Ughh... meh cookies have raisins. I'm not impressed, and can do without them.

@Rebochan: When mine red-ringed, I resigned myself to the wait. I'm in California. If I were you, I'd be perched nearby with a set of binoculars, in desert camo jammies stalking the shit out of my xbox. Isn't Mesquite easy driving distance? I'd be like O HAI I was just in the neighborhhood. Mmm hmm, yeah this…

@Jon: I am not Xoc, but I know him. Check out Video Game: The Movie: The Game, a bit of satire that ended up predicting reality as we know it today.

@gold163 BLOOD HEAT: I saw my mom died too. Whew! Maybe it was his mother board.

@Kobun: Yoknapatawpha represent!

@Perfectnumpty; Doesn't have a clue: The Silmarillion gets less abstract and more character-focused progressively. So you should be fine.

@sluchie88: Another great series in progress is William T. Vollmann's Seven Dreams. It's hard to describe, but it's historical fiction focusing on encounters between Europeans and natives in the 'New World', with a treatment of the mythologies of those involved as having reality and participating in the conflicts,…

@Krigo's EDGE: I'm having The Club delivered brand new, from Amazon. It was $10. Saw it too late on Thurs to post in TAY.

@Jon: *thought bubble*

@Save me: I haven't played RE5 yet, but on an unrelated note, you make lots of comments, back up what you say, are probably on the way to a star, but one thing bugs me.

@jayislost: Can't believe we have to wait 164 more days! And on the other hand I can't believe it's all going to be over in less than a year.

@TarnishedReputation: If the customization features are relatively deep, I will spend an hour at the minimum creating a character. It's kind of a problem.

@jayislost: If you haven't played them, Fallout 3 and Lost Odyssey are they best examples of time sucking awesomeness in, respectively, the Western and Japanese RPG genres for the 360. If you follow the links above to Amazon, Lost Odyssey is $28, and though Fallout 3 is only $3 off, if you pay the extra $3, you get…

@Andrew Thomas: Yeah... no saves meant my friend and I would rent a game and then only leave the couch to sate our physical needs, until the game was completed.

@eipxen: And why are you reading Joystiq again? Just taking the piss, I used to read it myself.

@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: I'm so excited, finished Mothership Zeta, and I'm starting Vesperia in the morning! I was already pretty stoked, and you two are just fanning the flames.
