Put some beans on it and you're most of the way there.

Ah yes, the classic "if she only came twice, it was a team-building exercise" defense.

They said they were skewing younger, dammit.

How high on coke was Stephen King when he wrote that passage? My guess is, pretty high.

How does a day last forever?

I wish it had ended in '93 so that it would have never peaked, and saved me all this suffering.

Middle-Eastern stereotypes! The kids love 'em!

Oh, man. I forgot about that Silent Hill 3 credits song. That singer sounds like he's auditioning for a James Bond intro, but crooning about misty nights and dismal moons. It's so over the top, I love it.

I guess it depends on how much she actually wanted this DVD; it could get into creepy territory easily enough, I think.

What about Dharma and Gre—

On one hand, this could be a joke; on the other, it makes sense that there's at least one couple out there whose lives come to fruition with the Sister, Sister DVD box set.

They were originally going to make the rooms puck shaped, but had to settle for flat walls for budgetary reasons.

The catering budget was a box of Fruit Rollups the director found in the back of his pantry.

If you're into the Streets of Rage 2 soundtrack, check out this video that tracks a bunch of Yuzo Koshiro's influences from late 80's and early 90's house and hip-hop. Really interesting.

I think Streets of Rage 2 is still my favorite overall game soundtrack. I played through that game at least 10 times as a kid, and I think it influenced my interests in music a lot (as well as engendering a violent attitude toward punk rockers, ninjas, and fat people).

The end credits theme for Final Fantasy Tactics. It manages to fold in a lot of the motifs from other songs in the game. It's both uplifting and melancholic, the overall feeling of which I could only describe as enigmatic—fitting for the ending that comes before (and after).

The engineers don't get to name big corporate products. The name came from a workshop of marketing people who make a depressingly large amount of money.

That makes the trailer four times as interesting, obviously.

What about Arsenio Hall? Picking a minority once every 25 years is diversity, right?
