Agreed with Ford there. Go online and see if there are any free shows going on around there or something. Worst case is that the band blows and then you can Mystery Science theatre them and go walk somewhere else or to your next destination on your date (so have a 2nd destination or "back up plan" just in case).

As for…

I love family and friends that just give you their stuff or sell it to you for cheap.

As for collecting apps, the one I use is Game Collector from Collectorz. Sure it costs money, but after trying so many different options I like having it available on my computer and being able to export it online to share with…

I have a buddy that has gotten more dates and action than I have since college and he is big time overweight. Not morbidly obese, but a big guy.

While he is antisocial he doesn't hold back who he is or what he's good at and just throws it out there. Girls LOVE him for that.

Conversation I just had with him was all…

Holy Butts where's Pikathulu when ya need em?

Thank you! I think you hit on a lot of things that go unsaid and generally unnoticed.

This mirrors my life a lot in the past years. I'm a first generation American to immigrant parents and am coming to the terms that I belong to both and neither at the same time. Hispanics ask me where I'm from and when I say I was…

Give me a Twin Turbo 300ZX (94?), a Skyline GT-R, and a pickup (mid 90's as well).

Would you include Infiniti's? Or would that be like the snotty, rich kids in the game?

Oh! You could make Datsun's like the adults or older people in the game!

I'd Kickstart the shit out of that.

Ah. Point indeed.

Subway has something similar called THE FEAST.

Order it and watch the employees eyes widen in horror.

And oh Halo 2 battle rifle, let me count the ways. You feel so right in my hands, like a warm, purring kitten that fires bullets. Pop goes one shield, pop goes another, pop goes a third. What's that in the sky? It's a bird, it's a plane, it— doesn't matter now, because I headshotted it with perfect, pulse-shattering…

I don't really care for Ruby/Sapphire but damned if I don't love the color scheme for the Kyogre 3DS.

National Live Internet.

I'm using this all the time now.

I thought this stuff was a myth and that people did it intentionally for funnies.

NOPE. Went and visited my relatives a few years back and at least 1/3 of their browser were toolbars. Took me a good 30 minutes to find everything and uninstall it.

Gamecube Component Video cable?

You lucky cyborg you.

Hey, if you didn't like it, more power to you. But you gave it a chance at least.

As heavy handed and bleak as it was, I enjoyed that of it though. It made me feel like I was stuck in this train, with no other option but to go forward, and that's what the character's realized as well. Damned if you go back, damned if…

Movie was great and the surprise of the summer for me. Great action, ridiculous sense of claustrophopia, and a whole lot of questions raised for you to mull over.

I haven't read the comic, but apparently the movie just borrowed the concept and turned it into it's own story so keep that in mind.

I do like io9's article…

Fuck. Even more reason to play this game.

Good read Doc. Very good. Keep churning them out cause it's this kind of critical thinking of the medium that I love.

I play games for the social factor and because they are more interactive than just watching a movie. And yes, social. Just look at tournaments like EVO or The International or even cons like PAX and you see that gaming is very social both online and digitally.

Also, I read about games for a few different reasons:

-…

I do too. Your voice is one that is one that is informed and doesn't always follow the masses. Your write up on how Uncharted hurts gaming is one of my favorite pieces you have written and I think helps showcase your talents and views the best.

So keep on keepin on man.

What's up Doc? Good to see you get another piece on Kotaku!

It's sad that consoles have the "worst" sales but nonetheless it saves me money that way as well.

Best Buy is the best for buying games new for consoles since you get 20% off new titles with their sign up. No BS magazine and a couple coupons throughout the…

Wasn't a driving test but it was on the Emissions Exam so I could get my OBD II certification:

Which one of these is NOT part of the Emissions check:

Catalytic Converter
O2 Sensor
FLUX CAPACITOR (I shit you not)
Gas Cap
