I loved Darwinia. I can't image what Introversion was doing with the IP if they only come out with one game (plus a remake and a multiplayer version of the original) and then feel so badly about it that they would need to do this.

I'm sure the image is just a stock photo for these situations, but since you asked: all hard drives have some PCB with memory controllers and caches on them. So the picture is technically appropriate.

This was very well done and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really liked how well the voice over sections were done. I don't think I noticed a single cameo until Ron Howard, though the plethora of beautiful women was well appreciated. Supergirl has HUGE... acting talents.

Man, that was really unclear to me when I read it. When did "mentally challenged" become a faux pas?

I am in love with this game, but I don't have a damn Xbox. I guess I'll hold out for a PSN/PC release. :(

With hindsight, perhaps. But that password would be just as valid to pick as the multitude of other such phrases: "Forever the King","Denmark rules","Go King go","Yay the king is so awesome". If I told you I was thinking of a phrase and you had one chance to guess it, even if you used all of the context clues you…

BCC saves lives, people.

Look at the pictures of the product. You see those perfectly parallel lines of alternating dark and light material along the sides? That doesn't happen naturally, my friend. Sure, it may be French oak plywood, but it is plywood nonetheless.

If by "nice bit of oak" you meant "oak plywood" and if by "artisan" you meant "anyone with a table saw" then I'd be more inclined to agree with you. This thing is cheap, period. Imagine my surprise when I see another overpriced accessory with limited utility for an Apple product...

Pass the controller, bro.

"...and BAM! You've done something stupid."

Everyday I pass by a McDonald's on the way home from work and almost everyday I see a line of cars wrapped around it. Every time I see it I shout "Dinner time!". It hurts to think how many people are feeding that crap to their kids day after day.

This helps too.

I have the greatest of doubts, even if BW/EA had his phone number, that they would not put any effort towards "verifying" his statement. BWEA has a very poor track record when it comes to moderating the ToR forums and spends most of their effort in quelling and banning any sort of bad mouthing toward ToR (whether by…

"Here, have a fantastic, custom-built arcade cabinet that I made to support the movement!"

Oh God I love watching this unfold. Not because I particularly dislike Star Wars or Bioware or EA, just because I love watching mediocre, poorly-managed games get what they deserve. This has been a cash grab by Bioware/EA from the start: licensing a prototype engine with hardly any optimized (and sometimes…

Call of Duty heard you, and boy oh boy is he pissed.

Thank you for posting this, I was about to have to go find it. Seems like the ToRtanic is at full steam ahead...

5 star post, my friend.
