@Arbiduck: Don't get me wrong, I love Castle Crashers, and played the hell out of it from Day 1. But I have kids, and between me, the kids and my sister, we were able to play locally. But online just wasn't practical until the patch was released months later. To be fair, it may have just seemed like months.

@Arbiduck: Online multiplayer was a mess when Castle Crashers was released. It's been patched, but it took too long, and it really soured what should have been a triumphant release.

@jayntampa: "You can be and become anything that you want to be, even Miss America..."

So my sister's (my old) 360 red-ringed yesterday, and since it's still registered to me, I went online to open a repair ticket. Turns out the three year RROD warranty on it expires in two weeks, so in a way it was lucky. She had a good run. Here's to three more years...

@b-radicate: I'm especially intrigued knowing that Crecente was initially disturbed at the choice of source material, and all the marketing gaffes that followed. If the game sounds like a bad idea, and the marketing team puts its worst foot forward, and the game is able to overcome all the bad impressions, it's worth…

@vidhagans: The Wii controls were very well handled, but I would have liked an option to play with a gamecube or classic controller. The multiplayer bit, where spectators can stun enemies, was brilliant. My daughter was a bit young to not get frustrated at the platforming (6 or 7 at the time), but she enjoyed…

@vidhagans: Sunshine wasn't bad, really, but what if they had made Galaxy instead, and we could've played it with a Gamecube controller?

@jack2pot: Born in Yuba City in California, lived on US Air Force Bases in Nebraska and in Germany, then back to Sacramento, CA and environs ever since.

@Ladi: But this OJ is reconstituted with Vodka!

@Ladi: Personally, I don't see how the comment lumps all Muslims together, as you and Whitemage claim. I agree it is flippant about a serious issue; I mentioned that earlier. To me, it is merely a statement of fact to state that it is dangerous and sometimes deadly to publicly criticize Islam, or to practice…

@halfthought: See my reply to WhiteMage.

@WhiteMåge is in fact a boy, damnit: Look, I said the comment was tasteless, but that's because it's a serious matter. You do realize that there are entire countries where it's dangerous for a girl to go to school? And where genital mutilation is considered a tradition? Look. I don't assume anything about anybody. But…

@halfthought: While the comment you quote is perhaps somewhat insensitive, what is truly appalling is the very real danger, the very real death that people have faced for their actual or perceived slights of Islam. Think Salman Rushdie. Think Theo Van Gogh. Think women accused of adultery, or girls guilty of attending…

@chronomasakari: That's before I play with them for a bit.

@Mister Jack lost his Saint's Row 2 save :(: Sounds like the Shyamalan Effect.

@josephmeraz: Have you seen them, they're like Rolos!

@VicViper: Batteries? BATTERIES?!!

RockyRan's comment seems pretty level-headed, and the way O'Brien lumps it in with the vitriol and paranoia of the other two comments he quoted is not very respectful. O'Brien has a computer, and limits the kids' time with it. So he is OK with technology, with kids playing games and with setting boundaries for the…

@deanbmmv: That was delicious.
