Companies are made of and run by people (sometimes awful people) so they do act human in many ways, sometimes by making dumb decisions for all the wrong reasons. Some decisions are made in order to let higher-ups save face, rather than add shareholder value.

At least one of my bullies grew up to be a school administrator. I think that's part of the problem.

I took my son to the doctor yesterday and it turned out he had the flu. The doctor said exactly this about the flu shot, which none of us have received yet. I'm not sure we will.

I used to throw my SNES controller against the wall whenever I had particularly hard losses in SFII, but it never did break. (It did wear out over time.)

I still think the SNES is the best game system to date.

I believe "whales" is also the term for heavy rollers in casinos, the ones who find it fun putting $30,000,000,000 on a roulette spin.

Is there a NBA Hang Time ranked list? I'd like to add my team of Wolfman and Sex Magnet.

The author here seems as misguided as Barbara Walters in the 80s. There weren't enough Mario games at the time to make SMB2 feel out of place. Us kids just thought it was fun. And his experience buying video games—like it's a lottery— wasn't my experience. First off, they didn't produce these cards he mentioned: the…

I have the Zelda watch. I remember some weird kid at school stole it and a few days later made the mistake of wearing it to school. $70-100? Maybe I can dig it up....

I tried getting into this game and was very quickly annoyed by the inability to actually hit anything (and I was playing quite a bit of COD at the time). I could have put in more practice time but I just wasn't feeling it.

I'd still be firing up my 600GB PS3, but my brother played it too hot and got a RLOD. I fixed it once but it didn't last too long. Now I don't play games for myself anymore.

I don't know if this is true in other Mario Kart games, but in Double Dash if you're far enough behind to start getting the blue shell then you're too far behind for it to help you in any way.

Thanks for reminding me I have that Zelda watch, somewhere.

They didn't have cell phones back then, so when the say "no friends and no phone" they mean to say Shredder didn't put a rad touch-tone phone in April's cell.

Is this the happy Reading Rainbow "da daa dat" or the foreboding "dun dun dunnnnn"?

We have a guy in our contest who didn't save it or started filling it out too late, because all his winners are "none."

After March Madness, I like to backtrack and see which team is the "ultimate loser," the one who got beat by the team who got beat by the team who got beat by the team...who got beat by the champion.…

I have a McDonald's card for a free meal that I got when my order was slow. This was in the late 1980s and there's a really dated picture of a McDonald's on it (back when they were brown brick). No expiration date was written on it.

Joke's on you Nedry, I used Firebug to remove your dumb animation and access your Mac HD, then I found your zebra girl porn (blech). I'm a hackerz.

I hope so, but it would have been more realistic if he started typing a letter to his lawyer.

I'm not a big fan of Jolly Johnny Romita Jr's work, I prefer Marvelous Mark Bagley or Excellent Erik Larsen. Excelsior!

Red-blooded Murricans drink Budweiser* anyway.
