@WrongThinker: It is definitely about the games. I guess I'm just a little disappointed by these specific games. Not that I wont be purchasing Dead Space 2 and GT, but I can't say I care about the others. It just felt to me like Sony came to the table _too_ empty handed. No Last Guardian and following up on the…

@clydemarshall: At least we got Steam? I suppose that's all I have to take away from this event...

Is Sony so far removed from what matters to their supporters that they think they can end this with Twisted Metal?!? Shocking. For once I'm more wowed by what Microsoft has brought to the table.

I don't give a damn about 3D, but I do dig the creep factor of this viral video. Well done, Sony or whoever.

@kamikazetedibear: I'm honestly more concerned that Persians are represented positively than anything else here. The world has recently seen nothing but negative imagery associated with an ancient and proud civilization. Whether made out to look like the hordes of Mordor in 300, or as a typical plot device in…

@Deaf Mute: No, no world shattering going on here.

As an Iranian, I have mixed feelings about it all.

Friend and I saw it at a local Ramen-ya and had to suppress our childish giggles as he ordered it.

"But it IS new."

@Nexus6: Japan does not allow for dual nationality. You must choose what you're going to be before the age of 22.

I think that my primary concern is if my [future] kid grows up to be a jock. I don't have a clue what to do if that happens.

That's spells divorce in my book. Throwing out something he cares about like that? Have fun trying to get remarried as an obachan in Japan!

Karateka, Pooyan, and Aquatron on my Apple IIc. Oh yeah, and the old 1982 The Hobbit game (which came packaged with a copy of the book and got me into reading — proof that good things come from early video game experiences :)

I understand venting, and that venting is a self-involved process (thus a justification for his decidedly "ORE" take on Japanese culture and societal quirks), however it would have been better if Tim had just said, "Guys, I'm really really mad and I'm not gonna take it anymore." I have no problem reading…

I remember liking the clicky feeling of the stick...but not much more really.

Nice. I wish Nintendo had put out more bitGeneration titles.

Ghibli Museum! Dude I have that same exact photo, just sans person. I think everyone is obligated to take it while they're there... #nightnote

@SplotchEleven: Agreed. In a world where you can nuke an entire town (Fallout 3) and feel no remorse, maybe it takes a scene where you are forced to gun down innocents to evoke a real reaction in people? It may be "hard to stomach" as I've read on various sites, but it's a game, about killing people, where you are…

Again, makes me happy I have a Roku player. #netflix

Havok. I hate how everything _feels_ the same now. Sure it's a great physics engine...but damn.
