Jesus, does the system really take nearly a full minute just to boot up? I thought I was going to just wait for a Kinect-free version before jumping on board, but after seeing just how enormous the system is, and seeing how clunky the operating system is after this launch, I'm thinking I'll be waiting for the first…

Did you miss the part where Travon ALSO had a right to defend himself from the gun-toting maniac that was stalking him at nighttime?

When I was a teenager, I was profoundly embarrassed by how children behaved. When I was in my 20's, I was profoundly embarrassed by how teenagers behaved. Now that I'm in my 30's, once again I feel nothing but profound embarrassment reading over this guy's missive, because it only serves to show flashes of my own…

It definitely had the capability, if not the direct port. I bought a specially made cable just so I could use my GBM for use with Four Swords Adventures, and it worked fantastically.

I've been saying for years that games need to be shorter. Length is not a virtue in an of itself.

That is... dear god, that is brilliant. Now I just need to convince my wife to name our first child The Humungus.

I was lucky enough to grow up before all these helmet laws became mandatory for kids riding bikes. I despised even the thought of wearing a helmet, so I would have been in constant trouble had it been mandatory for me. There's also the problem that I had several family members try to buy me helmets over the years…

Eh, it's not like it's actual money. It's extra "fluff" you get for registering games and systems you purchased. And it's not like there's a cavalcade of merchandise to spend your coins on right now.

Article yesterday: DNA tests proved the girl isn't related.

The paid version of Student Prime includes everything. I don't know if they're still doing it, but a few years ago when they were offering free Prime for students for a year, that was shipping only.

Man, I bet I could win this based on pure quantity, if not quality. I dated a girl in high school that lied about EVERYTHING. The lies ranged from the utterly banal and mundane to the bizarre. To this day, I'm convinced she was actually mentally ill and had a compulsion to lie, because otherwise her behavior just…

Honestly, I thought this whole "name confusion" thing was a little overblown. Then I got a Wii U just last week (Zelda bundle, yeah buddy!), and my wife, who is a gamer and is married to a gamer was shocked to find out it's actually a console. Even she thought it was just an accessory for the Wii!

Until about a year ago, I toiled away in PCHO at Best Buy. I did the stocking up on cables thing. At one point, I bought somewhere around $300 worth of cables for $25. When people came in for cables, my first question was always "Do you need it today, or can you wait a few days for shipping?" And if they didn't…

Those two games might just be the crown jewels to my Legend of Zelda merch collection. They're so damn hard to get a hold of at a reasonable price. Now if only I could find the third CD-i game, Zelda's Adventure for less than $400.

They were sequestered for three weeks. They paid for their own purchases. Are you seriously suggesting they should have been under lock and key because the deputies had to be paid?

A 30 second non-skippable ad, in order to watch a 37 second video.

Primarily people like the author and the Michelle Obama heckler last week.

"Despite the President's promise to stand up for gay rights and oppose discrimination with written legislature back during his campaign in 2008, LGBT America hasn't really seen any movement that'll com to anything"

The problem with tying the cost to inflation is that pay rates haven't risen at a similar scale. Sure, $60 now is equivalent to $68 back in 2006, but your average register biscuit at Best Buy was making $9/hour then, and he's making $9/hour now
