@jsalari: The Saturn was black. The Dreamcast was white. They were both dismal failures. The colour of a console doesn't matter one bit regarding its success.

@StevenRafael: I never even thought of that; you're right. How many creeps are going to get a kick out of ordering poor Milo around? Now I kinda feel bad for him.

Does anyone else really hope that Milo can have different avatars? I don't really want to have to interact with a prepubescent brat, even a digital one.

@JessicaChobot: Can someone please give Ms. Chobot a star? Surely she deserves it for:

True story: I'm standing in line with my friend at Starbucks on campus at a very prestigious private university in the US. I happen to be wearing a bright red t-shirt that says "Nintendo Rehabilitation Center". It has the actual Nintendo logo and everything. I love that shirt.

I don't think this sort of thing matters at all. Insomniac have a great reputation and make some awesome games. That's not going to change, it just means that they can sell those games to a larger target audience. This means bigger profits, which will in turn be pumped back into the development of future games. It's a…

@Antennapedia: In this case you'd have had to immediately Lysol every shared surface after you'd touched it. This is especially true in the bathroom for anything you touched between using the toilet and washing your hands.

@psychiccheese: I concur, Dr. psychiccheese. I was about to post the same comment.

@margaretoftheimperfections: No problem :)

@margaretoftheimperfections: There's a big difference between adult stem cells and embryonic stem cells. Namely, adult stem cells can only make a limited number of tissues, whereas embryonic stem cells can make any tissue type. To understand what makes stem cells generally tick, scientists have focused their efforts…

@bmaupin5: Why would it be any more dangerous than at any other time of the day? I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, I just have never heard anyone say this. Do you have any studies to back this up?

@Slagathorian: Stand tall and shake the heavens...: Here you go, I didn't get the details quite right. Reading it again, it's even funnier than I remember:

@7 of pi: Yeah, that's what I thought. I totally get why they're doing it, and like I said it's their prerogative. Thanks for the input with the specifics :)

@Slagathorian: Stand tall and shake the heavens...: Well said. One of the best satires of this phenomenon was from the Onion. They ran a story (fake of course, this being the Onion) that the Democrats had vowed to eradicate the H1N1 strain of the flu, and that in response the Republicans had immediately vowed to…

@callmecate: It's not a declaration for taxes or anything - Israel does not allow iPads into the country unless you declare you're bringing one in. They used to be banned period. Now you have to declare them if you're visiting. She didn't, so she's in trouble. It seems a bit ridiculous to me, but it's their country so…

@MyNameIsNobody: Thanks brother, I appreciate it.

@Ulmaxes: Cheers mate! I was wondering if the internet would cope with gobbledegook. Apparently it can :p

Any group of people who shares an activity - either professionally or for fun - will develop jargon. That jargon allows rapid communication between the members of the group, but will most likely be meaningless to anyone outside that group. In the case of communication with people outside of the group, you'll need to…

@syafiqjabar of Mars: How did I never have this game for my NES? WTF?!?!?!

@TheOvermatt: I agree about RAAM and Skorge. I was so disappointed with Skorge, I thought it would be another epic battle (no pun intended) but it turned out to be pretty lame. He could have been the focus of several boss fights, each progressively getting harder but ending in stalemates somehow until the grand finale.
