Yes, "drop". It's in the Oxford Dictionary, maybe it's time to stop being smug about it.

@avclub-df80f70f60b1c678f8c91696f4a54f5f:disqus No, it was just something some publishers did for their Datasette releases. I did, however, have an Action Replay with a great fast loader. There were quite a few games available on cartridge as well.

At least you got to play a Space Invaders knock-off or something while the games were loading. Nowadays you just stare at the Shogun 2 splash screen.

Take a look at the Chinese movie stars who have emerged after the glory days of Hong Kong cinema and you'll understand.

And I'm sure there is, but I have no idea. I used to F5 The Smoking Section with a passion, but nowadays there's just too much filler and stuff I don't care about, and the blog format just makes it really bothersome to get to the good parts.

Thanks for making me aware of this. Weird how The A.V. Club of all places apparently became my number one source for updates on soul albums, starting with Stone Rollin'.

The PC version has two stages more, and apart from Green Hill Zone they're all completely different: http://en.wikipedia.org/wik…

I might get Sonic Generations, BUT: Any opinions on whether I should get the PC version or rather the 3DS version? I like the idea of playing Sonic on a bigger screen since I don't care too much about portability with a title like that, but I really don't like the idea of PC induced slow downs in Sonic. The PC version…

You know what has two thumbs and enjoys a good typo? The sky.

Thanks, you can take the day off from destroying people.

Yes it is and neither could I. So since my player character never got out of that underground facility, you could say he stayed a while… stayed FOREVER!

Best DJ Premier track: Royce da 5'9" - Hood Love
Best song that kinda sounds like Premier, or Clark Kent for that matter: Saigon - What The Lovers Do
Best song that Premier provided scratches for: Black Milk - The Matrix
Best musical experience in a Korean restaurant: When that one kitchen help cranked SNSD's Mr. Taxi…

Ain't that the truth. "Emotional honesty"? Give me a break, you know who managed to sound emotionally honest without wallowing in self-pity? Every good rapper or singer ever, that's who.

I find some of the beats on Phonte's album a bit on the bland side. Many of them seem to suffer from PC software quantization, which I feel has been a common problem in many recent attempts to create beats with a D&D-era swing (as opposed to the more modern straight 16th-style). The mix is pretty middle-of-the-road…

Gotta love a fighting game that has gives you different endings based on how you play.

I think it's mostly screenwriting efficiency. If you're gonna have a guest role that's not stereotypically German on American TV, why even bother making it German instead of Generic White Guy in the first place? And if you're gonna have a character with a certain set of traits that's associated with a certain…

Yes, that's pretty much my gripe too. There was nothing to the parody that hadn't been done before many times (Action lines! Overemoting!), and the whole thing didn't look like anime, it looked like something an art school reject who likes anime would scribble when he's bored in Poli-Sci. I may or may not speak from…

Absolute Giganten had a pretty good, intense foosball scene. If you want to film foosball, cribbing from that movie would probably be a good idea.

Oh fine, then I like the original Oh Tannenbaum and denounce the shoddy Americanization. Thanks a lot, you just turned me into a Christmas carol hipster.
