This is a tough charge, but I don't see a problem with it. She knowingly and intentionally submitted a false address for her son with the intent that he be admitted to a school in a district in which he did not reside. They're also getting her on conspiracy to commit larceny charges, too. Being...

Prestige, from the old Panzer General games. It wasn't so much currency as it was "I'm good at war; I won't waste the tanks you send me."

American news sources never use the term "row" to describe disturbances or scandals, whereas the usage is quite common in the UK. American English speakers also will never use the verb "to fancy" to describe something that they like or enjoy. The term "sketchy" is also used in place of...

Nope, a combination of heavy student loans and low physical attractiveness holds me back. Being an attorney doesn't help either.

No, she was offered concert tickets to drop out, and she did. If anyone's interested, the radio station and its insurance company are fighting it out to see who has to pay her. I hope that whoever ends up having to pay does appeal the award. It's rather extreme.

I can't see Microsoft trying to introduce a new storage medium (a la HD DVD) with Natal. With as much backing as Sony has for its format (not to mention all the other movie studios that are publishing on it), I doubt that Microsoft would be foolish enough to try to upstage Blu Ray while it's...

What, no love for Rebecca Chambers or Claire Redfield?

I disagree - having enemies shoot at you while you move ("intercepting fire" in VC) is a great idea to move the genre forward (or revolutinise it, in this case). Intercepting fire requires a good deal more strategy and planning on the player's part, since it forces him to plan out his movements...

Congrats, Chipperz - you're in for one of the most fun and rewarding titles of the console. Hope that you enjoy it! Yahtzee's review hits on a few easy nitpicks, but I have the feeling that he didn't play the game past the first few chapters (i.e. upgrading weapons/tanks gets more complex...

Absolute favourites are Harpoon UFO (a Hefeweissen from Boston, MA) and Magic Hat #9, from Vermont. In the summer, Magic Hat's Blackbeary Wheat (no typo) or Kirin Ichiban.

Like the article said, Nintendo is a business, and businesses exist to make money: "Miyamoto knows that remaining profitable is job number one." Although I'm very disappointed by the direction that Nintendo is going, I can't say that I blame them. I wouldn't view it so much as their...

Self-righteousness is quite unbecoming and dilutes your credibility. Please do a better job of hiding it in the future. Moving right along, thanks for the detailed reply. I would have appreciated it if you had included my name in your quote, so that I would have been notified of a response...

Sources? Context? Numbers standing on their own don't do much for me, and all they really do is encourage rampant speculation on what they could possibly indicate. If your figures are accurate, it is important to remember that the U.S. has bases all over the world, a very large and prominent...

Second. This could just be a fun conversation piece, because it's practically overflowing with camp value. I'm rather proud of my video game collection, so it would be interesting to watch a friend pull this out while browsing it: "Persona, Xenogears, Ikaruga, Bikini samur... what?"

Although I haven't seen the actual documentation from the Courts regarding this case, it doesn't seem to me that this is a matter of the infringing companies cutting into SquareEnix's profits - as noted previously, SquareEnix does not produce any such collectibles. Rather, it seems to be the...
