So far, I've gotten plenty of play time out of all but one (Raving Rabbids) of the Wii games I own: Boom Blox - I don't know if it's really worth 50 dollars, but most of the game modes are very enjoyable, and some of the multiplayer modes can be very fun Mario Galaxy - I enjoyed this a lot...

I definitely agree with you; a few days after finishing the game, I'm still left with no criticisms of the gameplay, and I certainly get the feeling that a game like this means something, even if problems can be found with the storytelling (by some). It's still probably too early to tell, but...

Good, relatively succinct review! It's an extremely good game (especially in the realm of XBLA titles), but saying it's as close to a perfect as we will ever get it's a pretty bold statement. I felt no regret in shelling out 1,200 MS points for this title. The story has been called "open...

- Rick, hence the username. I actually got it many years ago when I was on Ventrilo, and my Counter-Strike teammates, who apparently thought I was afk or something, decided to talk about how bad I was. It was all very tragic. With the help of some therapy, though, I've learned to deal with...

Unfortunately I was not very good at FF7 in my younger years (I essentially ignored the materia system and was confused when Barret was the only person in my party who could attack ranged enemies). My most vivid memory is playing it while at a friend's block party until about 1 a.m. I had at...

One thing I have heard about running/jogging is that the best way to lose weight is to alternate speeds (I'm not fully sure about this). When I use the elliptical machines at the rec center I go to, the "weight loss" preset is set up so you run on a flat surface with low resistance for five...

If we're going for making people sad, then "When You Go" by Jonathan Coulton... followed by "Yakety Sax," since I'd feel bad for finishing on such a depressing note.

"You've Got Mail."

These will seem pretty tame compared to a lot of the posts here, but oh well. Perhaps that's a good thing. - As a young child, I was never sure whether or not it was acceptable to sleep without covers. So during the summer, I'd yell down to my parents, "It's okay to take off covers!?"...

A friend of mine rented a Dreamcast many years ago, along with Resident Evil: Code Veronica. System rentals didn't come with memory cards, and obviously we weren't about to buy one for a 5-day rental. We weren't exactly Resident Evil masters at the time (being a huge fan of the series, I had...
