@lucasreis: No washboard peripheral.

@electroshockwave: In Britain, "Rythym Heaven" is the name of an unspeakably vile and perverse sex act, involving dogs, bicycle pumps and yoghurt.

@Orian: It's OK, they can fix that in post-production.

@Valnen: Yes, exactly.

@Kazzahdrane: It's actually kind of astonishing that there hasn't been a John Smeaton: The Video Game (or at least a TV movie).

@AntiZERØ: That's what I mean. Doing all those things is the important part. The part of the process where they make the game enjoyable is just an extra that doesn't really impact on sales because the license sells the game regardless.

This game sounds socially irresponsible. Do we really want people driving around blowing up filling stations and downing passenger aircraft? Won't someone please think of the children?

They don't need to make the games perfect, they just need to make sure that they aren't totally broken. Once they achieve this, idiots buy the games in huge quantities and money is made.

@Ghinn: It may be something to do with the trailer that Nintendo released a few weeks ago, which showed Link riding a train. Over and over and over again.

Given the affection that some Mac fans tend to have for their machines, I would hope that drool-proofing would be standard for all models. I mean, have you seen the way some people behave in the Mac Store?

Hurrah for Edinburgh Zoo! I got married there you know, so it has to be my favourite zoo.

@ShadowOdin is sad he missed Wyatt Cenac's visit to Sweden: Blame lawyers. I know I do. For everything.

@RockyRan: Douglas Coupland once posited that the "door close" button would be the ideal vector for a disease afflicting only yuppies and other impatient people.

@icepick314: It'll affect port sales? You think people will be put off their after-dinner drinks?

If I went to Monte Carlo and asked for a Monte Cristo, I would expect to be handed a cigar. [en.wikipedia.org]) If I was looking for a grilled ham and cheese sandwich, I would be sure to ask for a Croque Monsieur.

@Kinburn: Maybe his parents don't fancy drilling holes in their living room wall to hold a TV which is going to be removed in a few months.

@Theoutlet: That is definitely the most meaningless, nonsensical phrase it has ever been my misfortune to read. There should be a tenth circle of hell for people who come up with platitudes like that.

Not familiar with the guy - I'm guessing he's like the American equivalent of Andy McNab. Oh God, Bravo Two Zero: The Video Game. That's all we need.

I want a Phoenix Wright-style minigame where lawyers and team bosses argue over the legality of newly-designed components.

@Satki: Er, the SNP are in charge - they're the ones who are spending your taxes.
