Those CD's "Magnet" magazine used to (or still does) send out... they have a cheap cardboard sleeve, which promptly gets lost (along with the CD). Thus, I have numerous songs from those samplers in my iTunes, labeled as "Track 8, 7, etc.".

@Duuuuuuude: See, that's what probably would surprise you. I'm a hardcore horror fan, and have seen; and loved, Let The Right One In (thankfully before the remake's release... at which point we can come back here to lament about it). I have also always been a big reader.

I like Twilight a lot as well. But these parodies are getting pretty popular... and harder to ignore. And yes, that is a real movie, coming soon to DVD.

@gerrrg: You are dead on. You are one of the few that get it.

This feels like a good time to mention that you could be streaming all kinds of film releases that are *gasp*, a day old or more - on Netflix.

@Santar: Exactly... it would've been a heck of a lot funnier if they'd re-purposed two burly GameStop employees, and had them smash computers and be mad. It's not like they have anything else to do.

GameStop doesn't have public bathrooms... or room to browse in peace.

The giant teal & yellow Game Boy colors on top of the nightstand... are those game/accessory cases, or something else?

@xoforoct wishes he lived in chasm city: I was specifically referring to stickers on top of stickers... in which case peeling reveals cheaper prices underneath, and blood boiling above.

@STiger: That sounds awesome to me.

@FriedConsole: In actuality, there are 8 stickers stacked up underneath the current price (in which they gradually built up the price to $39.99 and settled on it)*.

@mfwahwah: Because there is no other industry like that, and they seem to think that people enjoy the theater setting, which no one does. It's moronic for studios to think that withholding the same films they've been holding back for years is still going to be viable in our current world.

@MooglesInMyFace: 7+ months for DVD/Blu-ray releases... sometimes 1 month or more sooner for digital releases. Four Christmases was an example of a film released a full year after its theatrical run, for no other reason than to have a spot in the new release list in December.

This is just proof that legal digital copies can be cranked out simultaneously with films in theaters... nothing special needs to be done to them to make them digitalized. That they hold them back for 7+ months just to get you to go to a theater is downright moronic.

I like Mario a little more now that he's autotuned.

@hazelnut: I'd like to think we've all been banned from Kotaku once, for silly reasons :) I know I was (Crecente has one itchy freaking mouse finger).

@Nick Galvez: One way or another... losing my rear bumper could take some of the weight off of the truck too. :)

See, everyone around me is always saying: "Why is the table moving?" Now I can explain to them that I'm just losing weight... not to worry.

@TheUsedVersion: I was embarrassed for him there, more than anything. I wouldn't mind seeing him act someday though. I mean really act... not have a walk in role in a Vince Vaughn movie.
