Further proof that some people would vote for Satan himself as long as his name appeared as “Satan (R)“

This is politics as religion. Oh well, 240 years was a good run.

Hoping that Santa just hasn’t gotten around to answering that letter from 1991? It wasn’t lost, Rosin. You were just naughty. (And you know what you did.)

I’m broke so I awarded the Specknose Game of the Year Award to this cartridge of Marble Madness that I picked up at a garage sale. (It has just as much credibility as Knightley’s trailer show.)

I too am conservative. It’s why I vote Democrat.

If I can’t have Tidus, I’ll cheat and take Sean Walker from 24:The Game. I was so glad to see him get killed. (Almost hard to believe that this is the same guy that does Obi-Wan and the “Animation Domination” promos.)

That absolutely worst offender for this is Ben 10 Alien Force for the Hyperscan*. Not only does it constantly remind you how to jump over obstacles, it will often do so in the middle of your jump ruining both your concentration and your inertia.

(*To be honest, nearly everything Hyperscan does is the absolute worst.)

Throw in the XMB from PS3 and you’ve got yourself a deal.

And the towers on start up represented the save files on your memory cards. (The Final Fantasy save files made for some pretty huge ones.)

They had to switch it to a blue spiral in Europe due to trademark issues. They may since have lost the trademarks on the spiral altogether. (Either way, it’s probably an issue that they’d rather just leave alone as there’s simply no upside.)

Young ‘uns

The Game Awards has a credibility problem and it’s the same problem that seeps into journalism in general and game/tech journalism in specific *ahem, CNET*). With the content of the show dependent on the cooperation of the very studios being “honored” the awards themselves hold as much weight as a deflated balloon.…

How shitty of a military 4WD does it have to be to get stuck in such manicured terrain?

I think he misunderstood when they said that they were probably going to give it to the Leader of the Free World.

As much of a fan of WCCW as I was, Kerry Von Erich was the very model of a local hero. His performances in the ring outside of the Fritz family influence, (particularly once he started abusing drugs) was nothing to really write home about. Flair and Lawler almost literally carried him through his biggest matches. I…

Yeah, there is definitely an apprentice at the helm during many of the matches on RAW lately. If I had to hazard a guess, they let him/her fly solo for WarGames. It looked like the same style.

EDIT: I feel like I should point out that in my haste I misinterpreted the tone of BlindingLight’s comment, contradicting the notion that the “artistic eye” can’t be taught. I initially read it as a separation between artists and individuals who compose screenshots from art. It was late and I read something that…

I’m more blown away the older that I get and the more that I learn just how many tricks were necessary to make graphics like that possible. (In Pitfall’s case, there are essentially five different screens being drawn at once: The score area, the trees and Harry’s torso, Harry’s legs and the ground with its obstacles,…

False. Artists work hard to hone their skills.

Thank you.

I was surprised that this was overturned on due process (Fifth Amendment) rather than the Tenth Amendment. State background checks for firearms were struck down twenty years ago because as Justice Scalia put it, “forced participation of the State’s executive in…
