Yes.

This story is conditioning for girls to think its ok to be treated badly, maybe I can change him, there may be a prince under there!

Bah. Should be in a GEDCOM file. ;) ([en.wikipedia.org])

Ten bucks says it'll be weapons/armor/multiplayer-character skins. Anything else would be too much development work & money for a limited market. In other words: candy for the completists but otherwise dispensable.

Hitting "expand" on these is giving me little bitty versions even smaller than the thumbnails. Anyone else?

want. want now. coherency? bah. WANT.

Protip: Space Needle is capitalized. Otherwise it sounds rather disturbingly like something that might get used in alien abductions.... #corrections

Yes. Yes yes yes. Still my favorite thing Jim Henson ever did.

Is it bad of me that I hope this book misses its deadline just so we can pop the "I am waiting for Vizzini..." joke?

Build up lots of coins and don't bother to toggle on your boosts until you get a special gem, then throw everything you can at the game at the same time. It's pretty hard to get a decent score until you stack your bonuses like that, but once you do it's awfully satisfying.

Heh, well. I've heard worse. ;)

I'm suddenly remembering my Dylan Thomas here: "....and books that told me everything about the wasp, except why."

When I was setting up my account on Xbox Live, I wasn't allowed to use Janai (which was only meant to be "Jenny" rendered really pretentiously — I was out of ideas one day when creating a character name in Myst Online, and it stuck). I still haven't a clue why. No one else has protested — not PSN, obviously not…

yes.

Not for the person who gets expected to fill in for everyone else who has kids / husbands / dogs.

It's... pretty much the theory behind the zombies in Naughty Dog's next game, actually. Behold the creeparific trailer for The Last of Us: [www.youtube.com]

Does BBC America show anything other than Kitchen Nightmares and Top Gear? Because I've had the channel for a few weeks now and that seems to sum up a disproportionate amount of its programming....

I got dark side points a couple times for choices I didn't think were evil at all, just kinda... well, not quite playing by the usual rules. Get deep enough into the storyline with Kira and you might run into a couple of these.

and then made pressed it — ?

Yeah, that's awesome. ;)
