$250 and one day before my birthday (on my friend's birthday).

@wahrugene1: Oh my god I almost literally rofl'd when I thought the subtitle read "His head got served!"

@Ken: Hear, hear! StarCraft II should replace Black Ops, hands down.

I love the soldiers of different rank in the same army analogy. Well said, sir. I approve.

@Kermi: Yet again we're playing right into their hands. The farther away from The Terminator the future is, the less prepared we'll be. Let's just do what they did in the movie! Then, at least, we can plan accordingly. They'll never expect that!

I really like this article, and I still won't play a game if I can't listen to the sound. I hope you don't miss something great, either. On a sidenote, though...

This sounds awesome, and these guys are great!

@Stephen Totilo: I believe I speak for millions of gamers when I say "Yes, it lived up to the hype and 13 year wait, and, for your own sake as a gamer, I hope so." :)

As awesome as this is, he's trying so hard not to get caught... can't the police use this video against him? Or would it not hold up in court because it wasn't police sanctioned?

You did not play StarCraft II. Does not compute.

Damnit I thought of this a few months ago! Glad I didn't actually try because this website would have been done way before mine would have.

@ARYXANDRE: Out of curiosity, what country do you live in?

@Nibel: The boat is all too real. It's NAAAHHHHT the pinnacle of gaming technology.

@Koda89: Funny you ask this haha as this is precisely what happened. I think they said they picked the winner at random.

@Dreamwriter: Then yeah, it seems like your logic is correct. Also, I don't have an iPhone and have only looked through the app store for my iPad a few times, so that's probably why I've never heard of those games.

Three words: Garden Gnome Carnage. It's really fun to play all throughout the year, is deceptively complex, and is difficult to get a very high score.

@Dreamwriter: I mean no insult, but I have never heard of the game so I know nothing about it. That said, is it possible that sales typically peak for an iPhone game about a month after it releases and the drop due "to Halloween season being over" was actually just a normal drop of sales? How did this compare to sales…

@Xeraphim: Sounds like a normal party to me.

I *challenge* anyone to make something *more* ridiculous than the Kinect Adventures boat peripheral. Seriously.

This is amazing! My interest in this game just went from 0 to 10. This really could change video game storytelling forever. Hey Ebert, are games ert yet?
