Owen, this article was terrific. Your articles are always enlivened when you're able to interview someone, but human-interest reporting reflects your strengths well. I was reminded of some of your truly touching night notes, which are among my favorite things you've written. But as wonderful as they are, they reflect…

@kearneybobs: My hard drive is in the NSFW format.

@kearneybobs: Enjoy. Wind Waker is one of my all-time favorites. I'm so glad Nintendo opted for backwards compatibility. I'm thinking of doing a Luigi's Mansion run-through, though that's less of a time commitment.

@Capp: Clubhouse Games has all sort of card and other traditional cames, as well as some neat games that make use of the stylus... plus it has built in Pictochat.

I wonder what Tim Rogers thinks of Viewtiful Joe, I don't think he's mentioned it on Kotaku, though I could be wrong. If you've read 'Let's Talk About Jumping', I would say that VJ exhibits good level design in the Western as well as Japanese senses of the word, compared to some Japanese games.

@deanbmmv: Laughed my ass off even if the typing/spelling made my eyes bleed. Don't worry, I'm prone to make the same sort of errors when I'm rushed. Actually, now I've laughed my ass off, I'll be prone whenever I'm not standing.

@D-K, Anarchist: I read all of Tim's articles, but Tim + bowel movements clearly would equal all sorts of win.

@spannu: I was born in Yuba. My dad was in the Air Force, so I only spent a few years in Marysville. Then on to Omaha, Nebraska, Peterswald in what was then West Germany and I've lived in the Sacramento, California area since 1984 (I was twelve when we came back to the States). You won't hear me complaining that we…

Marysville, California, US... Originally intended by its founders to be "the New York of the Pacific", Marysville was once one of the largest cities in California, shipping over $10 million in gold to the San Francisco mint from its strategic location as a stopping point for riverboats during the gold rush.

@legendnthemaking: Trying to complete the wizard goals for Medieval Madness on Pinball Hall of Fame: The Williams Collection. And some Miner Dig Deep.

Based on the reaction to Ctrl-Alt-Del every week, maybe they could rename the strip Space bar-Space bar... As in, if it offends your eyes, just move on... I would guess that it's not easy to get the permissions to run a virtual Sunday Comics every week. But as a lazy person, I appreciate having some web comics…

@NoelVeiga: People fall in love, get married, give birth, lose loved ones every day... probably every minute, on average. But those people, at those times, become the center of the universe, in a unique way (not the usual selfish 'the world revolves around me' B.S.), and are uniquely alive, perceptive and open to…

@DunnCarnage: I was tempted but I'm saving my points hoping Qix will be released on the XBLA in North America on Wednesday. And now I'm tempted again. Must.... wait...

Maybe Rockstar should make the next core GTA game less sprawling, then release more of these smaller stories (to all platforms).

BryanH's lack of a star has rankled for some time. His comment is easily comment of the month for November, and his and Nowayman's comments tower over the rest of the week's entries. Congratulations, guys.

@Owen Good: If you drop the third letter from each name, you'd be your Own God...

@skarecrow13: I played it last night, it was great. Simple, beautiful, with a stunning score, really a shame to miss out when it takes maybe 15-25 minutes to complete.

@MrBionic: Don't think I've seen the Cross Battle Adapter mentioned yet.
