I watched this show quite a bit, because my girlfriend was obsessed with it. It was definitely a mixed bag. What kept me watching was John Doe as the cafe owner (though he was unfortunately not given much to do).

@willyt9: The "old school" console station is a great idea... and if you normally game on an HD set, it's a great use for an SD set, as the old consoles often look better on the TVs they were made for.

@Rictor: Am I the only one who pronounces 'Se7en' as Sesevenen? Great movie, but that name/spelling always struck me as contrived and cheesy.

Parents Google (or use other search engines) school names when deciding where to send their child. Parents search for their kids' school when looking up the address or phone number, or to go to the school's website. It's a bad idea not to change the name.

@Mokon: I just don't like to let go of great games... I'm the same way with books. And by going back and playing old games, I don't feel as much of a need to buy new ones. But I'm not beating myself up about it.

@battra92: I sold many of my Gamecube games, and my son ended up buying many of those same games (Mario Kart Double Dash, Rogue Squadron II, Luigi's Mansion and more), several years later, used. He is right, and I was wrong. Of course, I didn't sell them because I didn't like them, but my gamecube was busted, and I…

I think a portal like Pinball FX 2's with downloadable tables would be an awesome way for the Pinball Hall of Fame to continue their excellent work. It seems like their physical releases get lost in the shuffle, as kind of a niche product. They don't sell in quantities that justify continued shelf space in stores. But…

@Mark H: I've been wanting to see this kind of portal from the Pinball HOF for years, with downloadable tables. Maybe now that Zen has done it the HOF can take the hint.

@Ravidrath: With lead, you first dip your hand in water, which boils off to create a protective barrier.

@ill_fated: Somebody did this (not Dave) on the Letterman show in the 80's or 90's. Very important to dip your hand in water before briefly putting your hand in the lead.

@DeadnBuried: Definitely B) Wait to see past the launch line-up and a price drop. I don't feel compelled to jump on the bandwagon, but I'm open to the possibility of 'killer apps' that justify such a purchase. Give me a few 'Zak and Wiki's, along with a solid Rayman Raving Rabbids/Warioware-type game, making me a…

What THQ is missing is that a lot of their best customers, who buy many games new at or near their release date, can only afford to do so because they know they can sell them back (at a loss) two weeks later. Reducing used sales or lowering their value will not only freeze out people who can't afford to ever buy games…

Are you cussin' at me?

I went with my kids, father and sister to see Inception on Sunday (it was my second viewing, their first), and the theater was surprisingly full. As I sat next to my daughter and behind the rest of my family, I fretted about what this meant for Scott Pilgrim. I would rather have been watching the latter film, but I…

@TaliZorah: What are you doing out of the kitchen, Tali?

I am so excited that Bioshock is continuing, but not remaining tied to what has gone before. I'm about 300 pages into Thomas Pynchon's magnificent "Against the Day" which features dirigibles, anarchists, railroad tycoons, gunslingers, pshychic powers and more, and it sounds like Bioshock Infinite will be pushing some…

@lazerus72: I haven't found Whedon's quips to be 'snarky' or overdone in the Diablo Cody style since the Buffy days, the only possible angsty pu**y on Firefly was Simon, and I liked Astonishing well enough, but if he's not you're cuppa, gustibus non disputandam est, etc...

@lazerus72: Before he signed on for Avengers, I thought X-Men could be the vehicle that could bring Joss Whedon some success on TV again. Honestly, I still feel this way. There would be an audience because it's the freaking X-Men, Whedon knows the characters, and there's plenty of room for the wisecracking, the…

Is the price that high due to tarriffs? I can understand how supply and demand can cause higher or lower prices across different regions, but it's hard to understand how Sony is taking a loss at that price point if there aren't a ton of taxes driving the price up. Does anyone know?

This is awesome, and I commend Double Fine for learning from Brutal Legend and not putting all their eggs in one (I thought pretty awesome) basket. XBLA and PSN is absolutely a great space for them to build confidence and experiment.
