Local apocrypha about "No Such Thing:" You know the line "I just can't wait til my 10-year reunion?" Who couldn't attend his 10-year reunion because the school (Fairfield High School, Fairfield, CT) decided they couldn't and wouldn't provide the security infrastructure in order to accommodate a big celeb like mr.…

Yeah this is where I am with it too. When the trailers first hit, I looked at it and knew exactly what it was going to be. Then it came out, and people starting gushing over it, saying that it was special beyond what it appeared to be. I caved, and watched it, and…it was exactly what it looked like from the start.…

UNSKIPPABLE BUG MONOLOGUES.

Embarrassing childhood memory: I played a friend's Zelda 2 save-file at his birthday party. I was so intimidated by the suddenness of the random over-world encounters that I wouldn't leave the town he was saved in, which was one of those towns with the people who turned into bats. I just walked back and forth, talking…

Favorite video game song: Konami Kukeiha Club - Bloody Tears.

Y'know it's not that bad a game. It's at least comparable to Haunted House on the Atari. My brother-in-law knows how to play that one but it always looks like witchcraft to me.

"All kids, outta the pool." Simple, but great.

In which I reveal that I beat Wisdom Tree's Spiritual Warfare twice.

Plus one. I had your exact same experience, and to this day, on any list of "best games of all time," Star Control 2 is in my top 10. What a terrific simulacrum in which to experience the wonder of, the continuous opening up of, exploration.

That must be the nicest compliment I've ever heard paid to Fox News. You're aware, right, that the Simpleton is the down-to-Earth meatball with the heart of gold, as opposed to the cold, pretentious eggheads that are the other people in the song?

I think it makes a difference if a person played it on Playstation or PC. It wasn't too bad using a controller on a console, as you could easily fine-tune the camera to aim and orient yourself. It was a huge pain in the ass on the PC.

The level design and accompanying art design are what really shined about Psychonauts. So many good ideas in there. Shame the Meat Circus flips most players' opinions.

It's a feeling, having spent a lot of time around people expressing drunk sentiment. From the first sentence about exclamation points, I felt like the author was putting his arm around me and talking like Dudley Moore in Arthur. Actually, I fully endorse reading this article (and all articles) in Dudley Moore from Arth…

I often wonder if articles are written drunk. This, is one of those articles.

WANT PIANO

On the one hand, that's really sad that Ernie got bait-and-switched, and more Winston would have been great.

Everyone wearing jeans and a denim jacket reminds me of Randall Flagg, the Walkin' Dude. Extra RFWD points for wearing a denim shirt under the denim jacket.

You're in the "Tone" box now, from which there is no escape.

Oh great, you've made me go all sad face.

Or. Y'know. Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
