colorblindness fail :(

Before the inevitable all-encompassing flame-war starts in, I want to thank you for this thoughtful, even-handed look at the relationship between Lewis's faith and fiction. I think it's one of your best columns.

And much like Yogi Bear and the Smurfs, a live action "My Little Pony" would be unavoidably terrible. Off topic: My mom has a few of her Barbie & Ken dolls from when she was a kid in the 60s, and they totally have knees! Also off topic: War-fighting and stuff-building are two of my...

I'm glad I read this at the beginning of the day. Hopefully I will have forgotten it by the time I go to sleep.

I take it that means no more Commander Keen any time soon?

Pfft. Forget Knytt. Within a Deep Forest is the epitome of artsy 2D platformers. You don't just HAVE a large cute head... YOU ARE A CIRCLE WITH A TINY FACE.

This is a free-to-download game, no box sales. If they didn't institute subs, id would make approximately $0 off of Quake Live. I doubt ads generate much revenue. The sub perks don't seem that great. Then again, at $2/month, the actual money you spend seems almost less intrusive than the...

I was also alarmed at how many people didn't get the Blade Runner reference in Critical Miss. Then I read your list and realized I shouldn't be throwing stones at anyone. I'd be interested to see your must-see list of non-nerd movies too.
