Brilliant. Freakin' brilliant. Had this journalist laughing all morning.

Yes. One hundred times YES. Inventive, thrilling, and unique (in every sense of the word), Mirror's Edge was like a breath of fresh air at a cabbage eating contest. Tighten the game-play a little (namely 'disarms') and bam... game of the year. Not that anyone will buy the damned thing, but hey :P

Salt + Meat Boy = death... A LOT of death. God, I hate/love this freakin' game.

Nightkin... well, at least I won't see his ugly face before he drives that re-bar through my melon.

Those kelp-forests are mind-blowing! I've been resisting WoW for years now... but I'm finally giving into the madness. And this is just the incentive to join.

Yeah, the exposition portions of some games can be infuriating. . . and are so outdated now. I call it MwwHAHHAH cliche - a stillborn writing technique carried over from the old Bond days (until the brilliant Goldfinger came along). I actually got thrown out of a tabletop campaign because...

All that information can be subpoenaed from the various services/servers. Also, your spouse can just copy your files/records.

Awful, actually (avergae review score: 4.2 out of 10)... I don't think they actually finished most of it before publication. Which is too bad, because I was really looking forward to it.

I GM'd WAY too often. Hell, during my college years, I actually GM'd for food.

It wasn't arson. Arson is a deliberate act. He burned down his apartment because he was so stoned that he dropped his joint into the couch and allowed it to burn. If he hadn't been doing drugs, it wouldn't have happened. And that's just the result of drug use. We won't even go into...

Heh heh. Actually, they dropped the price by over $50K. I read about this abomination last year. Its body is so lightweight, you'd probably WANT to keep it in the air all the time before some SUV ran over you like a beercan. Considering that at any given time 5,000 planes (87,000+ flights...

There are no victimless crimes. Even loitering requires the police to waste their time dealing with the moron standing with his thumb up his ass when they could be out helping a useful member of society. And why? Because most people casing a house/store/etc loiter before committing a serious...
