@Ferkner: You can order Dr. Pepper, made with sugar, in bottles online. It's pretty expensive, once shipping is figured in, but it's so good. There is one bottling plant in Dublin, TX that still makes the world's best soft dring with Imperial Sugar, the way the flying spaghetti monster intended.
@Rampage: It was the Wurst. Burger. Ever.
Lat night I removed the casings from two uncooked bratwursts and formed them into a patty, put it on a bun with tomato, onion and Parmigiano-Reggiano. It was delicious. Was it a hamburger? I say it was.
@Michael Dukakis - Mets fan: If Paul Revere is announcing the slim, maybe it will come in silver.
@Kobun: Great use of Solomon as a verb.
I admire your dedication and determination. I don't know if I would be up for having to finish so many of my games again. But the process could be cathartic in a way, so it could be healthy. I'm 18 hour in to my first playthrough of Tales of Vesperia. Are you as shamefully unable to press start until 'Ring a Bell' has…
@NeoStarr HD: That reminds me... I need to go back to Geometry Wars 2 & try to get the Wax Off achievement. Which means playing the same 3 minutes for an hour a day... too much repetition is self-defeating, sometimes your brain needs to sleep on it... & playing something like that, or an insane shmup level right…
@Fernando Jorge: I have to agree with you. If you're playing multiplayer RTS, you can't take a second off, and you have to give your full attention. Most styles of game have more down time... between levels of shmups, which are extremely demanding, or between rounds in fighting games, or in FPS while spawning. But…
@braceyoself: Try going through your download history. You might be able to download it from there.
@gyroball: My favorite thing about Netflix is that no matter what movie you search for, The Water Horse will be one of the results.
@(Zombie) Goldwings: There is real hope for this functionality, since Netflix has it, and the system they're using is straight out of the Netflix playbook.
@(Zombie) Goldwings: Um... if 100 people play indie game X, and they all give a 5 star rating, and 40,000 people play well-marketed game Y, with 90% giving a 5 star rating, then the indie game would be rated higher. And the high rating is a form of advertising that previously didn't exist. Before, a game that was…
@Mr.Waffleton: C'mon, the article states Miner Dig Deep is in the top 3. Just because someone downloads massage games doesn't mean they think it's quality or they're proud of it —- they're probably too busy... massaging to vote. This is a corrective to the unfiltered 'most popular' And, now we'll finally know which…
@Xenigma: I rated every arcade title i have. I have wa-a-ay too many, btw.
@Ishmae1: I would say the one account one vote will prevent massive spamming, most people won't vote on stuff they haven't played, and keep in mind a lot of people have played games, even downloadable games (say, at a friend's house) that they haven't purchased. I worried briefly about it, but it should be OK. They…
@Xenigma: I think the font is a good choice. Along with the in-game assets, the cover is letting the art style of the game speak for itself. The understated but stylish logo and background as well as the composition and stance of the character depicted really make the pictorial elements pop. Definitely stands out, as…
@Shawnrw222: Nothing about that definition excludes video games from being considered as art. I thought Braid was fairly successful as art, and though Lost Odyssey did rely heavily on short stories to appeal to emotions, I don't think that the stories, isolated from the game, would have been as effective. The way…
@SuvarnaprabhaLactuca: Capcom didn't 'make' Okami, they published it. By your definition, The Godfather, Blue Velvet, The Wire, The Sopranos, Do the Right Thing: not art. Your definition needs retooling. I'm not saying that Okami is definitely art, but mass distributed media will nearly always be packaged as a…
@Pizookie: On the bright side, we have three perfect (with the possible exception of the first episode of the final season) seasons, and AD never jumped the shark. And we are supposedly getting a movie.
