Interesting. How come? For something you recorded yourself or for stuff that never came out in other formats? And where did you buy a new VCR?

Ha! Took me a second.

I can't tell why this video weirdness is happening, and our tech team is a little puzzled at the moment, too. But we're working on it. Sorry for the error.

Here's the trick: White front paws = Soupy The Comment Cat. Orange front paws = Nipsey, loyal brother of Comment Cat.

11,000 words of "text-based" content about our favorite games of 2013 not enough for Cookie Monster? Must also kvetch on video page? Oscar, is that you? Give the keyboard back to Cookie so he can read these.

Why me have to watch Sesame Street? Why can me not just read about which sounds letter "G" make?

I'm in tears laughing at this thread. That's all.

Good pick. Tomb Raider was definitely in the mix when we were discussing our nominees.

The Wii U wasn't released this year, so it wasn't eligible for the "award," but I'm with you—I think it is coming into its own and public opinion seems slow to catch up. It took me a bit to catch on myself.

Personally, I prefer the daily reviews, because each short review got its own space to breathe, and its own little conversation. So I'm sympathetic to…

The uploader of the YouTube video emailed me to let me know that he is not the same Michael Davies as the Michael Davies who produced Talking Bad. (I was going off other news reports that said it was the same guy, my bad.) I've revised the writeup accordingly, since it doesn't really matter who posted it anyway.

I did a screen capture of the HD YouTube player I still had open. I wish I had seen your link; it would have saved me some time!

I worked at The Daily Show in 2005-2006. I was an AP in the field department; my job was to follow the news and come up with concepts for field segments—the overall slant, the likely characters, the major beats of the segment. Then, if Jon approved the concept, I would set up the characters (i.e., pre-interview people…

Thanks, PantsGoblin! I like your pants.
