'Be active'... heh heh.

Awesome! Download play is what makes the DS so fun to play with others... In many cases (though sadly not all), one game cartridge means my whole family can play, and you can always check out the multiplayer on your friends' games (which often leads you to purchase the game yourself). Now if we could just have an end…

Some of my favorite games are Zelda games, but I got through maybe 20 percent of Twilight Princess before losing interest. More of the same, without the visual dash of Wind Waker (if anything a throwback to the muddy look of Ocarina of Time [not dissing OoT as a game, but the graphics were ugly to me the day I brought…

If Mortal Kombat has online or local multiplayer, sign me up!

I'm wondering... will 3DS games continue to support Download Play? I sure don't want to buy 2-3 copies of games to get my local multiplayer game on with my kids... If SSFIV has download play, I will pre-order it immediately. I have a creeping fear that one of the best things about the DS/DSi generation may be phased…

My eyes are stinging just from looking at Bash's. I wonder if Mrs. Bash has to take breaks from watching him play, in order to reduce the strain.

The moment in the comic where Supes told the jumper 'You're much stronger than you think you are' reduced me to tears. I missed that moment, and how it focused the theme of Superman's belief in humanity, through the device of a tormented girl, upon the reader. We all have a better self, and the reason why Superman…

Or if all of us, man woman and child sent him $8.11, we wouldn't have to involve the lottery at all...

DeNiro does seem to have a sideline in so bad they're good/so bad they're bad character names... Captain Shakespeare (Stardust), Donald Rimgale (Backdraft), Louis Cypher (Angel Heart), Rupert Pupkin (King of Comedy). Carl Van Loon is a worthy addition.

I'm pretty sure wontons are Chinese.

PSN banning for playing pirated games, sure... that's reasonable. But 'unauthorized software'? As in homebrew, or running something that allows homebrew? That's not reasonable. Voiding the warranty? Sure. But as long as I'm not pirating software, I should be able to run any program I want. Just wait, Apple will be…

"Who says they'd ever have bought a copy anyway?" is an argument agains pirated copies being lost sales, not against piracy being theft. If I would never buy a 100" 3D HDTV, and I take it without paying, I've still stolen it. I've stolen it even if I don't use it, or even sell it or gain any benefit from it. I think…

Yeah, I think we'll muddle through either way.

I have heard some good things about Clone Wars, but I don't think I can get over the look which I hate (and in a cartoon, the art direction is a big part of things), and even if I manage to enjoy it eventually, I'll never forgive it for using the same name as the superior Genndy Tartakovsky Clone Wars... which I watch…

I'm 38 years old, remember playing Cookie Monster Crunch with my sister on the Atari 2600, and totally want this... I have kids, but they're too old for this. I want to play it with my sister! I want a Kinect!

Well, once a film (or painting, record album, etc.) gets to a certain level of accomplishment, and especially when you're talking about comparing films from different cultures or a great comedy vs. a terrific drama, it becomes hard to say what is 'best'... but Miyazaki and Brad Bird (Pixar's Incredibles and…

Though more expensive ($170, $200 for bluetooth/microphone version) the Soundmatters Foxl V2 is hard to argue with for amazing sound on the go. It fits in your pocket, is solidly constructed, sounds crystal clear at low volume but gets surprisingly loud, and even louder if it's actively charging. The rechargable…

"As we've said before, there's really two types of non-Pixar animated films: Ones which are decent but not in Pixar's league (like Despicable Me) and ones which are just wretched and cheap." There are animated films just as good as Pixar... basically anything by Hayao Miyazaki, but also the recent Secret of Kells and…
