Well, my understanding is that they originally intended to make the game in b/w, which complicates things a bit. But I've been playing in color, for the most part.

Black-and-white vs. color film stock was a choice, not a necessity, in the early 40's through the late 50's, when the bulk of films of the genre were made. The Wizard of Oz and Gone with the Wind both came out in 1939, but the use of Technicolor dates to the 1920's. Leave Her to Heaven, a 1945 noir, was shot in…

Like many other types of individuals, transgendered people play video games, become journalists, and do many other things. Ms. Petit wasn't discussing gender identity, she was discussing L.A. Noire.

Clearly, Ms. Petit is not 'bombarding' anyone with anything just by existing. And, really... honest dialogue about race/gender/sexual identity can't start if people that are uncomfortable aren't able to say so... which doesn't excuse hate speech or descrimination, but this doesn't fit into those categories. The…

I second this, but want to clarify it's not a creepy stalkery love. It's nerd love. Like what I feel for Wil Wheaton and Stephen Fry.

On the way to my Dad's house, there's a handmade sign at the head of a driveway, "Adult Tap Dance". I realize it's probably an instructor that doesn't want to deal with teaching kids, but my mind turns to other possibilities every time I see it.

I comment from time to time here and on i09... but due to time constraints, I don't generally peek in on TAY because of it's ability to suck me in... but my daughter was sick today (not too sick to spend some time at the ol' RB3 drum stool... I played bass) so I had to stay home from work.

You can get 2 games for your PS3 and also for your PSP.

I'm loving it so far, and kind of curious as to how Team Bondi prefers us to experience their game, in black-and-white or color? Obviously we're free to choose, but I wonder if they feel like having the game released in color was a capitulation to Sauron... didn't they originally envision the game as a black-and-white…

When did hearts come back? I'm guessing they were added back when we lost the ability to page through posts with our arrow keys... Or was it just me that didn't see them/couldn't use them in the comments? I love you ladies and gents, and now I can show it again!

Does Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved count? I know it's descended from Asteroids, but after thinking about it for a bit, I think it counts. Most of these games are scrolling, but Space Invaders wasn't, either... and it's like buttah, one of the best arcade-type games of all-time in my opinion. I put a lot of quarters…

For various reasons: Braid, Geometry Wars 2: Retro Evolved, Lost Odyssey and Rock Band's various iterations.

Confession: I rented the first Transformers from Xbox Live, and it did look absolutely amazing. Something about the detail of Megan Fox's short-shorts cheek leak. And gears, moving parts, etc.

I actually really like it, I've enjoyed my HTC HD7 wheras I've mostly tolerated my previous phones. If it had a robust, well organized app store, it'd really be the bees knees. That said, I don't need my phone to do a million things, and I'm quite happy. The interface is very clean and intuitive, especially as a Zune…

If you're going to continue to dress provocatively, Criterion really can't be held accountable. I'm having some impulse control issues, myself, to be perfectly honest.

Aardman Animation already sounds kind of pirate-y. In a perfect world, this would go head-to-head with the Pirates of the Carribean de l'année and put that monster out of its (our?) misery.

Riddles are abound tonight.

'Entire characters' sounds like a good idea, but they're just as hard as screenplays!

Actual Windows 7 Phone owner here, thanks and keep up the slow trickle! I sure am glad to see that MS has shifted their game support over to WP7 from Zune... whew!

Even though it truly hurts my brain reading Zack Snyder interviews, and even though there are times when it seems like Snyder might not completely understand the material, the film is so faithful that it mostly works. Snyder really does make striking images, and was working with great material, so the film looks…
