A Nintendo Power with a walkthrough for Star Tropics.

PROFESSOR PLUM IN THE SERVER ROOM WITH A ROOT KIT!

I'll just leave this here. I am obsessed with the new Beastie Boys album. Everyone that has liked any of their stuff should check it out.

Hot Sauce Committee, Pt. 2. Just came out today. First single is so damn good. Back to the old school original stuff.

The new Beastie Boys album is straight ill. That is all.

Secured credit card servers are assumed to be just that. Secure. I'd call that not doing what's been advertised. The brakes were me being sensational, but I'd say a better metaphor would be a car alarm not going off as it is supposed to be after it is armed.

When purchasing some games last night I surprised myself by asking for a copy of Final Fantasy XIII after having mostly ruled it out on the way to the store. It's not that I think it's going to be an awful game. It's just that I really can't bring myself to start it, because it seems like such a long time sink to…

I remember being so excited that I could make a fat Italian mobster with a baseball bat named "Nice Guy Tony" and that my friend was able to make Gordon Freeman.

Whatever. I was into games and their problems back when they were underground.

No more tasteless than referring to a "waterloo" (a real battle where both French and English soldiers died) or saying someone is on a "crusade" (which stems from very real and violent battles over religious ideals). Both words are in the lexicon but their meaning has been somewhat stripped away from the original…
