@ClaudioIphigenia: I will say that I loved the game Star Wars Episode I Racer, and mostly object to the way the podracing scene was handled (too long, NASCAR announcer alien with two heads, and the juvenalia that ruined the whole film) because the podracers themselves were cool. But what was depressing was that when…

I went into Subway on International Star Wars day wearing my AT-AT X-ray t-shirt, and the topic of Star Wars came up between myself and the kid, probably 16 or 17 years old, working the counter. Nice enough kid. He said he liked Star Wars, hadn't seen it in a while, his favorite part was the racing. The racing.

@Michael Dukakis: *whispers*

@Kobun: Actually, I agree. He would be remembered a lot more fondly had he gone out as a Packer. But it's not playing for another team, it's the way he handled things. Nobody holds it against Joe Montana that he played for the Chiefs, even me, a much suffering Raiders fan (sell the team to Madden, Al!) who has little…

@Michael Dukakis: I think you need to take a step back and take a good look at yourself, M.D. Heal Thyself. Seriously. Back, and to the left.

@VincentGrey: Yeah. Too soon. The day the Federalist Papers went too far. You know what, let's not even talk about it.

@Goldwings: THANK YOU FOR SAVING MY PUP!: Maybe in the morning. Flynn de Marco?! I mean, ideally, all the old writers would be listed, but he's not posted an article here in a bit (actually, I think he did drop by for a guest piece, but he's not posted regularly in some time).

@Kobun: Hey, Favre was one of the best ever to play for the Vikes...

@vid3oman64: Image all the people... living life in peace...

@Rachel Fogg: *realizes was 21 in 1993*

@otis123: Crecente has had it up to here with the quality of (some) comments, and followed up a Tuesday of disemvowelling with a spate of banning today.

@CptOverkill: Nuts & Bolts is well worth whatever you pay for it. It's as much about building the right rig for the gig as it is about piloting vehicles: most times the going gets rough, the trick is to build something more appropriate, not to race better (though that helps). The game is one of the best looking and…

@Shinta: Viva Pinata is another game (also by Rare) that looks like a game for kids, does appeal to kids, but offers a depth of experience that will appeal to open-minded adults. Those games remind me a bit of Pixar films, in that, by treating children with respect, and by appealing to adults with quality rather than…

@Foxhack: I pretty liberally 'friend' back anyone who 'friend's me, unless I know of bad behavior. Now, anyway. If I see something like what you're describing, I would unfriend. Anyway, I hope things get better, and if the behavior is harrassing, then report it if not for yourself, then for the next person.

@Kenology18: I thought your comment was cool, btw!

@Kenology18: I'm not going to ban you for anything, it's not my gig... but questioning the framing device of the article (which is careful not to state Netflix' obvious desire for more customers as fact) in a dickish way on banhammer day might not be a great idea.

@One Man Freak Show: I'm playing a Tecmo Bowl season and listening to music... very relaxing and nostalgic.

@RicketyCricket: I've seen people banned for faking a disemvowelling. You're probably safe, but the hammer sensitivity is set to high today...

@rymas1: Trivia has to be pretty obscure for someone with internet access not to chime in with the answer within 5 minutes. Or hard to google, like The The, but without a Wikipedia page.

@Kenny: Mmmmm, I love colons!: I never finished Bioshock because of the sense of dread it created. It made me tense up completely, and I know most people don't even consider it that scary. I'm determined to play Alan Wake, though.
