Sounds like someone listened to "Mouth Sounds."
For those unfamiliar with Moraff's work, you can see some of his… aesthetic here. http://bimshwel.com/renk/mo…
His games were a bit odd, but usually charmingly so. Is there more to the Steve Moraff story I don't know? I'm curious to hear!
I was probably playing Moraff's Dungeon of the Unforgiven and SimCity. I, uh, wasn't quite at the cutting edge of video gaming, and still am not.
Shortly after the release of the 3DS, 11 Points wrote a list defending the Virtual Boy: http://www.11points.com/Gam…

The 5 songs below Macarena during its first week at #1, Aug 3 1996:
Certainly doesn't hurt! Although a lot of it comes down to luck in timing. Uptown Funk had few serious competitors until the release of Furious 7, when its soundtrack's See You Again blasted up to number 1 for a few weeks - otherwise Uptown Funk would've beaten the record, since it stayed at #2 behind See You Again…
It's amazing that the 16-weeks-at-number-one record has yet to be broken. The second longest-running number-ones are these 14-weekers, including one each from Mariah and Boyz II Men:
From the side-scrolling Duke Nukem games, the roast chicken that plumps when you shoot it.

Another great one!
LOVED that one! Colin had a knack for including odd words like "paramount," and Drew forgot more than once that he should say only one word at a time; I distinctly remember him singing "and take me on a" as one word, and then the other two mocked him by singing odd strings of words as their next lines.
No one liked the singing parts of Whose Line?! Greatest Hits was always one of my favorite parts of the show!
Who came up with Personman?
As a long-time Price is Right fan, I loved this writeup. Still one of the most fun game shows out there, after all this time. The Millionaire-ization and American Idol-ization of the early 2000s never took a strong foothold, and the show today is more colorful and vibrant than ever. Drew Carey's not the best game show…
Hooray for more Pick A Choice! Gordon and Luigi (and Chef Luigi) at least all had fine mustaches, even if George Brett didn't. I cannot speak to Zelda Fitzgerald's facial hair.
