    The Awesomeness of Awesome Mix #1 Can't Be Stopped

    I remember "Spirit in the Sky" actually being in the film. I can't remember what scene it was though. Was it just in the credits or something?

    8 Animals That Are More Dangerous Than Sharks

    How are they "cousins"? Because they both have spines? Or because they perform in ballets together?

    Has EA's Origin Service Improved Any Over the Last Two Years?

    Are you enjoying the free copy of SecuROM that came with The Sims 2? Or has that already been fixed?

    Why Smash Bros Melee Endures, and Why Steam is Set Up to Exploit You

    There's no inherent value, but there can be value. I enjoy reading words that someone has put some effort into writing. I'd rather read Virginia Woolf than George RR Martin. Granted, this guy's no Virginia Woolf, but none of this seemed flowery to me. You keep saying that "he's basically...

    8 "Weird Al" Videos You Haven't Seen But Need To Watch Right Now

    Did "Weird Al" finally hire a real publicist or something? I don't remember his previous recent albums getting so much coverage. They talked about the video for "Tacky" on the local pop station and even played a bit of a song, which is more than they've done for like 20 years. He's just all over...

    Star Citizen Too Much Game for Consoles to "Handle"

    Who said some version of Minecraft wouldn't be on consoles? You can play a version of it on your phone. If anyone said anything it was that the full PC version of Minecraft won't ever be on the 360/PS4, which is completely true. Those consoles don't have the memory to handle it. Crysis with...

    How Electronic Arts Made Dungeon Keeper A Huge Fiasco

    Yeah, spending money on a permanent thing makes sense to me. I've been playing Hearthstone, and find most of the monetization in it pretty fair. I haven't spent any money (my nerves can only handle a few hands a day) on it yet, but buying permanent packs of cards seems pretty fair.

    How Electronic Arts Made Dungeon Keeper A Huge Fiasco

    It's interesting to read a not-completely negative review. I was wondering what your opinions of the actual F2P mechanics were though. Did you just not mind waiting long real-world time for stuff to be completed, or do you just not mind spending money to hurry it up? Did you end up spending...

    George R.R. Martin Dislikes Fans Questioning His Health

    I don't see it as offensive. As otheres have mentioned, it has happened before. I know that Stephen King was really concerned that he would die before finishing The Dark Tower, and that he maybe rushed it. I hope Martin lives as long as possible, but I do secretely hope he continues to write...

    Hearthstone's Curse of Naxxramas Pricing Revealed

    I've really enjoyed Hearthstone. I've got about 25 hours in with no money spent. I haven't even felt the slightest urge to spend any money. 700 gold for the wings sounds really reasonable too. I'm guessing that Blizz is making plenty of money on this, but I kinda' wonder what people are...

    Valiant Hearts: The Great War Review - Hague Conventional

    The extra-depressing aspect of WWI was that it was just completely pointless. The "enemy" was not the epitome of evil like the Nazis. Basically, most of Europe just got together and said, "These youths sure are lazy. Well, nothing builds character like a good war. It'll create the next...

    The Steam Sales Cometh

    My deliberations on that were worse since I already own Skyrim and have played like 140 hours. I really want to re-roll a new character and play through the DLC, but I can't wrap my head around the DLC pricing. The cheapest way to get it would be to actually buy the Legendary version. I guess...

    The Steam Sales Cometh

    Why isn't there a modern Marble Madness? If I have to put up with a dumb cops/robbers theme, that's fine with me.

    When Star Wars Merchandising Goes Horribly Awry

    That seems pretty cool. I don't really need a pizza cutter to be high quality and I rarely use them, so why not have it Star Trek themed? The big problem with the knife block is that it is sure to come with a bunch of terrible knives. I use my main kitchen knife every day, so I went ahead and...

    Assassin's Creed Unity - Do You Hear the People Sing? - Update

    Some time often passes during an AssCreed game, though, right? Are we going to see some Napolean in this? Maybe it will get to the July Revolution or whatever. Maybe DLC will cover it.
