    You aren't wrong. Demon cookie girl is a skin for the same character, as well.

    Minecraft Creator Notch Calls in to LRR's Desert Bus

    They're running rather low on HD space. I don't remember if they had room to record it. The only call-in I know for sure they recorded is Penn's. I'm sure a viewer recorded Notch's call so it should be up on Youtube eventually.

    EA: Multiplatform Insomniac Title to Exceed 90% Review Average

    I look forward to finally playing an Insomniac product again. The only thing I regret about tech-switching from PS2 to 360 is not being able to play games from Insomniac. Hopefully it lives up to the hype.

    Police Attempt to Link Vicious Murder to D&D

    Its Tacoma's paper. The third-largest city in Washington(I think). To be fair, that specific article was about the murderer. It featured quotes about how he seemed like a fine, respectful, nice individual. That info was pulled from his facebook page. There were other articles about the...

    Police Attempt to Link Vicious Murder to D&D

    I live in the area of this crime. A glance at the local paper(yesterday's edition) shows that the murderer enjoys listening to 50 Cent, loves the movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice and is a fan of skiing, walking on the beach and studying the bible. If playing D&DO(which he apparently didn't even...

    Mafia II Accused of Racism, Take-Two Responds

    The Godfather faced its own problems during its day. The Italian-American Civil Rights League( led by crime boss Joe Colombo) and Frank Sinatra opposed the filming of the movie. They were placated by producer Al Ruddy and as part of their deal the words Mafia and Cosa Nostra were removed from...

    Stolen Pixels #217: The Empire Strikes First

    The comic is a parody of the famous scene from Empire Strikes Back. Starkiller takes the place of Luke and uses his dialogue from the scene. Vader's dialogue is changed to reflect his relationship with Starkiller. Ex. In ESB, Vader tells Luke that he is Luke's father. This elicits the...

    Least Favorite Pokemon Gym Leader

    I've fought Whitney on three different games and have never once seen her Rollout sweep. On my last playthrough(SoulSilver) her Miltank never even used the damn move despite our battle lasting a decent number of turns. I guess I just get lucky every time I face her. Jasmine can be annoying...

    The Next TF2 Update Isn't (Just) From Valve

    I'm rather disappointed that my two favorite classes(heavy, medic) didn't get any new items. Hopefully the next batch of community items will make up for that. Also, the pyro pack rocks. Bow ties are cool.

    Your first level 100 Pokemon

    I raised my Pidgeot on Yellow to level 100. I have no clue why I used it so much. I lost count of how many times I ran through the Elite Four using just it. I don't even remember any other Pokemon I had on that game(Other than Pikachu of course). Then I traded it to my Crystal, where it and...

    Pretentiousness: Claiming a position of distinction or merit, especially when unjustified or behaving or speaking in such a manner as to create a false appearance of great importance or worth To my eyes, you are bashing the mainstream in order to make yourself seem better than you really...

    Infinity Ward Loses More Staff

    Obviously, everything that has ever been popular is mediocre and worthless. Thanks for showing me the err of my ways. I think I'll start bashing all those who disagree with that brilliant and not at all narrow-minded view. Clearly, those who disagree are just sheep, unable to form their own...

    Infinity Ward Loses More Staff

    Check your pretensions at the door please. Generalizing the mainstream as mediocre doesn't make you cool. It does not make you edgy. It just makes you pretentious. Anyways, this news isn't that surprising although it is bad news for those who were expecting a satisfying end to the Modern...

    Space Invaders Movie Might Be On Its Way

    At least there is no plot for Hollywood to foul up. It can't be worse than all the other video game movies that have been made. And I think you meant to say Space Invaders in the headline, not Sapce Invaders.
