"It's sort of ironic that we have begun to see drugs as a way to enhance our achievement rather than just to have fun."

Sheath it when not in use or for mundane/dangerous use (like handing it to kids), unsheath for showing off. Not so odd a thought process :P

I got goosebumps remembering the Epoch's theme song just now. Ah, Chrono Trigger...

Or the people selling micro-fiber gloves/micro-fiber fingertip replacements...

I'd already read the spoilers about Bell possessing Olivia here on io9, so I knew it was coming, just not sure when. It kinda came off as rather goofy sounding to me without as much of the element of surprise, but I got a good laugh out of it nonetheless.

That was bugging me too.

I remember being taught about some lady's cancer becoming self-sufficient after it was biopsied. It survived outside her body just like bacteria, and outlived the lady by far, continuing to reproduce. Can't remember what they use that cell-line for, off-hand.

Did you not see me mentioning the Special Editions too?

They did do that, and it was a solid upgrade from the original. Just like this version of Ocarina looks like it'll be a solid upgrade (at least visually) from the original.

Lucas doesn't have nearly the same hot streak as Miyamoto. At least we're still getting new stuff from him and his series that are still good, like Mario Galaxy 2, and Skyward Sword isn't looking bad either.

I'd rather have Smash Bros with FF characters than FF Dissidia with Nintendo characters.

All these crazy dream sequences reminded me way too much of Scrubs.

Ooh, I clicked thinking this was some variation of the optical trap.

Ugh, but what about the cases where the cops are suing people who video tape them?

Exactly what I was thinking.

Heh, I was just talking with my boss about how I don't believe tablets are like game consoles or desktop PCs.

Yeah, me too. I've got three normal 1 liter wide-mouth Nalgenes, all set up with silicone sipper tops.

Here's IGN's take: [gear.ign.com]

You know, considering that smartphones and tablets with similar specs are around 500 to 800 bucks when not subsidized, that's actually spot on.

Yeah, Disgaea 4 better do well and ensure that NIS doesn't disappear or fail to release it here.
