@Friedhamster: Were you ever based in Seattle before, or what's bringing you to the West?

@The Forgetful Brain: The Tenners?

@mintycrys is HOT for Bayonetta: Played Left 4 Dead for 2 hours after with a few friends, until the lag killed us. Then used the start-of-month bandwidth reset to download GTA San Andreas.

Is Pinky Swear stronger than a New Year's Resolution? Either way, I don't think it'll last guys :P

@Sihaya- That Girl!: *cough*tim rogers for a full-time job*cough*

@Rachel Fogg: SPOILER ALERT!!!!!

@buddhathing: Weekend Reader, I think it's called.

Videogames. It's about time you get a chance to go and play something you want to without thinking of it as work. And it'll help clear the backlog before the Q1 and Q2 2010 blitz that's approaching.

As long as you drop into TAY every now and again it's all good.

@Rachel Fogg: Thanks for the vote of confidence, I was starting to get worried for a second that people stopped taking note of how awesome I am.

@Slagathorian: OnLive probably still in beta, and if not, then it's still a very niche market with most people's internet speeds not able to keep up with the demand it puts on the connection. Nintendo have the only new console available on the market, although both Sony and Microsoft are gearing up for big launches…

I don't know what it is that I like about him. Maybe it's his off-beat writing style, how he looks a tad like J Mascis (Hey I got it right this time!), how he's better at playing the guitar than me, but I think it's down to not his articles, but his afterthoughts.

If you can get rid of the watermark on the side, it'd be fantastic. It's The Taking Of Calais By Francis, 2nd Duke Of Guise (1519-63) On 9th January 1558, by François-Edouard Picot. There certainly has to be something exploitable there somewhere.

@Arstrig: I used this method too, but was able to lure them towards resin balls and before you know it, BOOM, fire in the disco!

@holidays! cat: This. A hundred times this. The amount of games I've bought off Steam since the holidays is mental, and considering all the massive hitters coming out next year, the mere thought that I'll actually be able to play through all of them is absolute madness.

Canabalt.

I'm gonna miss that call screener you guys have. He's been great to talk to when I call the show and wait in the line, and just when he's starting to understand the fast-talking Irish accent and all.

@Rollett: OHOHO! Ez funny because you say Wii when it have two different meanings!

@Yossarian: I'm like that too, hardly getting anything for presents. So I used whatever little money I did get and spent it all on Steam games for myself.

@(Starman) NONAME: I think it's done in NY. At least it will be in their new CBS Studio in the new year.
