I don't really have a grasp on whats really obscure/forgotten, so I'll just go with stuff I like but people I know have never heard of. Aimee Mann: Pavlov's Bell (from Lost in Space) Destroyer: Streethawk I (from Streethawk: A Seduction) Now, personally, I love Dan Bejar's voice...

... I think most people are forgetting what magic is. A convenient excuse to let anything happen. Does it actually matter if your character is swininging a sword or shooting out a short range fire whip. No swords doesn't mean no combat, it just means spells are going to have to be designed...

I know I've seen the occasional favorite music/movie/video game thread. And I've even been privy to the rarer best book/graphic novel/(other thing that I can not think of). But sometimes, I just have a mood that does not discriminate one form of art/entertainment from another. So that is why...

No, iPods can only sync with iTunes, and one iTunes account at that. So aside from only being able to use one computer (which assuming you aren't doing something illegal shouldn't be a problem) the only real difference is that you have to drag and drop into iTunes instead of dragging and...

OT: I'd recommend a Zune my friend has one and is relatively happy with it. However, he let his apple hate blind him, he wishes he stuck with the iPod. There is a reason that people just call mp3 players iPods, they are currently the best. Don't let apple hate blind you, iTunes may be...

Except with steam, so long as you are patient you never have to pay full price, with how frequent their high percentage off sales are. And you don't have to pay a subscription fee to rent the games, that you may lose if you ever stop paying the fee. They are two different services aimed at two...

Obviously I'm not a member of the Escapist Staff, but I think piracy could be likened to a competitor taking the articles someone on the Staff writes and giving them no compensation for taking said hypothetical article. I'm sure you've heard similar comparisons before, and mostly they've been...

I'm surprised at how many people still think iTunes has DRM. Apple finally realized how much they had against them by offering a blatantly inferior product. No disc, no box, no box art, no manual, and unable to be used for anything besides iTunes. But OT. To me it seems this bill will fail...

I usually don't cry from music, in fact, I never did before, but I seriously don't think I could handle watching the actual video from what little I watched and didn't just listen.

If I had to list only one album, it would have to be Life is Sweet by The Lodger. It is a great bit of Indie pop-rock: However, I can't help but recommend a few other albums, namely How Vulgar by Lodger (not to be confused with The Lodger) Live at St. Anne's Warehouse by Aimee...

I'll third the Mile Hile Club. My friend told me about a year after I stopped COD4 about that level, and I grinded that thing for hours. However I mean achievement in the original sense of the word, because the PC version lacks "achievements".

Right now I'm trying to think of a stereotypical stoner character in any movie, book, etc... where that character explicitly uses the drug, and I can't. Granted I do have terrible recall, but I think most of the time we just assume a stupid, and goofy character is a stoner. If the character...

But you have to realize, to many people you are essentially asking why an elephant has to be an elephant. Games don't "have to be art," they are art (assuming you hold that opinion). Personally I have the opinion that certain games can be considered art just like only certain movies...

Tried to edit, accidentally quoted myself, see above.

I'll second this. It wasn't that he was bad at the tricks, in fact he was quite good at them. However, magic performances are about more than just sleight of hand. Almost every trick he used was based on the fact that you can't see behind the iPad, and they ultimately seemed very unoriginal...
