@engineerd misses Uncle Pete: I was in a focus group last year and was pissed that I somehow got selected to evaluate the CUVs instead of the sports sedans on the other side of the room.

@singing pigs in elevators: Is this a promotional contest or a monkey's paw?

@Ty Brown: I can't wait for an extension or tool like this shows up for Firefox. I hope Lifehacker will give us an update if something like it is developed or found.

@SkippyTheMarine: Make sure it's a Model A. Model Ts are just too much of a pain in the ass.

@Garro: Definitely rekindling old flames. Going to have to go finish my Insanity playthrough now...

I'm happy to see that GLAAD is working with video game companies to help improve their practices in dealing with issues of gender and sexual orientation.

@ericesque: Forgive me for getting the impression that the newfangled start menu was slow when you had the following:

@ericesque: See, with the search, not only do you have to wait for it, but you have to know the name of the program you want to launch. With the classic menu (which renders instantly), all I have to do is go to programs > networking and select the utility I want. That being said, my hierarchy is pretty well…

@ericesque: Perhaps you could elaborate on your "keystroke launching" and convince me why it would be faster than my right hand tapping "Win + P + couple arrow presses to the category I want + Enter".

@Robotic Bilbo Bagins has no use for fleshy ones: This. I keep my start menu organized so I know where everything is. I don't want to have to wait on a search engine or have to scroll to see the whole list of programs.

@ericesque: OH MY GOD, we can't have an operating system that's UGLY!

@dapoktan: Just think of the goatee as a blend of the clean-shaven Guybrush from SoMI and the full beard of MI2.

@Rampancy: This is one of the only games I've ever pre-ordered. I like that you end up getting the DVD compilation at the end for the cost of shipping.

@UltimatePancakeSensation: It was far better to use a gamepad with Grim Fandango. If supported, I might have to use my 360 controller on this game if the keyboard controls don't cut it.

@rolfke: I don't think Rare blew it with Nuts & Bolts. N&B is a fantastic game. I think it got undermarketed and several unfairly harsh reviews, which allowed people to get a negative image of the game.

@ericsprojects: The Pyrex glass storage kits are one of my kitchen favorites. So much better than Tupperware.

@Yam: Argh. I think I'd have to buy two. One for carrying lunch and one for immaculate display. So much $$$.

@edhe (xbl): It'd better integrate. I don't use the background music playback feature too much at the moment because it requires searching through my catalog of sometimes broken ID3 tags every time I want to change the music. If I could just put on a radio station from a genre I'm feeling at the moment, it would…

@Booji-Boy: Nuts and Bolts is tons of fun. Last night, I spent an hour building and testing a brand new attack helicopter. It's like a LEGO game, but in this one you actually get to build stuff.

@jupiterthunder: In chili, all the flavors are integrated through the stewing process, all you'd be missing between chili and chili slurry is the texture.
