That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to it.

Haha, poor Nayru. That's what I kept hearing after SS was released though. Some people would say that it was really awful or boring, or that they were thinking about putting the game down at that point, and then others would encourage them to endure and stick with it, because it gets much better after that. I guess…

Hey, waitaminnit! Don't Nintendo's pre-orders for Xenoblade Chronicles open up today?!

Awesome! Claymation is so great. I don't see enough of it these days. I definitely want to check this one out. It also kind of reminds me of that boardgame, Grape Escape.

Whoa. I really dislike Walmart, but this is rather tempting...

Well, I'm afraid my playtime in Skyward Sword has been pretty limited lately, so I am only partway through the Lanayru Mines, but it doesn't seem quite as bad as so many people have been making it out to be. I dunno, maybe I was just expecting something God-awful. It seems OK for now. I kind of like the new item you…

Haven't been feeling all that Christmas-y lately, especially with the complete lack of snow. But this song always puts me in a good mood. It's an old favorite of mine. Please enjoy the second installment of my week of Christmas songs.

I, too, hope for these things. I would actually be pretty disappointed if some sort of transfer were not allowed and facilitated.

Hahahahaha, nice one!

Yeah, joining a club is a good bet, so go for it. And a film studies class sounds like a good time. Good choice.

For those who celebrate - or can at least appreciate - Christmas, I think I would like to share with you all some of my favorite Christmas songs over the course of the week. So, without further ado, let's start things off with a classic by Frank Sinatra. In fact, I really recommend the entire Christmas with the Rat…

Yeah, I thought so, too, and started reading them in the wrong order.

I can always appreciate a decent Calvin and Hobbes reference.

This was a great tribute. I love Calvin and Hobbes so much. I collected and read the books all throughout my childhood and then eventually got the Complete Calvin and Hobbes to top off the collection. A large part of the appeal for me at the time was simply Calvin's world and the imagination he so often injected into…

Hey, I hear ya loud and clear. I had some similar difficulties in college. The only helpful advice I could give would be to join a group or club that's focused on something you're interested in. It could be a hobby or a recreational sports team. Or it could be something completely new for you. Unfortunately, I didn't…

Thanks for the excellent article, Harris. It was a great read, and also enlightening. I hope that soon we can see some change for the better in geek culture.

Thanks. :) But I meant what Ejia said: They haven't been replied to by a starred commenter, nor have the responses to them been promoted. I'm just wonderin' what's up.

"There's a lot of love in this room."

Anyone know why some non-starred comments are in dark text without visibly having been promoted, while others remain gray? I've only just noticed this.

Hahaha, maybe you're thinking of the Quizno's commercials with the sponge monkeys? Those were some odd advertisements...
