@AClockworkApple: I have one that does so, but it still doesn't work with just Amazon and E-bay.

@Arken: Sorry, didn't see the link. Well...you just killed Santa for me, thanks ;)

@Blah8: Yeah, you are right.

I can't remember if it was the end of Phantom Hourglass or the beginning of Spirit Tracks, but at one of those points there were cutscenes done in this exact style that looked a lot like this. Pretty neat.

@balmstead002: I've seen those! Amazing. You really have to see to believe.

@Arken: That doesn't work for some of them. The Marfa Lights, for instance, appear over a vast stretch of desert and scrubland on the Mexican border, hundreds of miles from the nearest road or town.

While doing research for my MA thesis (history), I traveled to West Texas and had two opportunities to view the famous Marfa Lights. I went expecting to see some flickering lights in the distance and was very surprised by the lights. They moved, danced around in patterns, flickered, waxed and waned, and changed colors

@chris0089: Via e-bay, you could get two DS lites for less than $175. I got mine on there in perfect condition for $42.

@Famf: I can't think of anything simpler than uploading the docs to Google Docs, opening them in Docs, and then printing them (Google Docs automatically prints everything as a PDF). If you're not down with that, then CutePDF is the traditional go-to for this sort of thing.

I'm using Eclair on my phone and Donut on my alarm clock.

@nea: good call. Portal is really fun and there's a lot of variation you can do, but all-in-all, it takes like 2 hours to beat.

Hard to say for sure which would be the number one on my list of easy games, but the GBA version of Supermario Bros. 2 was insanely easy. They made it entirely too easy to get hearts and extra lives in a game that was already the easiest Mario game to begin with.

I hate to do anything close to defending that horrid Halle Berry travesty, but Halle Berry's Catwoman was not supposed to be related to the DC character originally. It was originally titled "Black Cat," I believe, but Marvel sent them a cease-and-desist, so they got permission from DC to use the Catwoman name. But,

Saturday mornings are my game time: I intend to get up around 7 and play some New Vegas, followed up by some Reach multiplayer. That's probably all the gaming I'll do this weekend.

It still sucks for one reason, the only real reason it sucked before: clicking on a notification sends you out of the app and into your browser. WHY?!

I really just don't see why anyone cares that much about this. I don't care if I see a movie the day it's out or a month later or 6 months later. If I cared that much about it, I would have seen it in the theater and/or I'd buy it.

@Ashwin Mudigonda: I had the same issue with Locale - it really prides itself on all these wonderful, location-based settings you can do (as does Tasker), and so do all the reviews (as do those for Tasker); however, the location stuff really doesn't work unless you actively have GPS turned on, burning out the battery.

@bdinger: Reformat for sure, then load up Microsoft Security Essentials. I'm pretty sure it was Lifehacker that touted that as the best free anti-virus ware.

Random Android Issue:

Counter Strike and Day of Defeat will always hold special places in my heart. The original DoD was especially good.
