• Commented on Videos of exploding capacitors
  That took me a moment as well, but it's "Al" as in the chemical symbol for aluminum. I'd never heard that shorthand before either, but I like it....
• Commented on Creative Commons Hallowe'en mix
  This is great! However, I was all excited to put this on as mood music for the trick-or-treaters, so I decided to give a precautionary listen. The first song has a line that goes something like "shove over your lover,...
• Commented on Farewell, Captain Lou Albano
  "but I betcha don't know this, gamers" I hope you're pulling our metaphorical leg :P He was also on an episode of Hey Dude on Nickelodeon, which I believe was the only time I saw him outside of the Mario...

• Commented on <em>The Dark Spire</em>: a ten-dollar dungeon crawl you might have missed
  It also comes with a soundtrack CD. I passed on it because I'm really not the old-school dungeon-crawling sort. The art is pretty cool though. And you can switch to a more retro graphic mode on the fly. Maybe next...

  Yes, that pretty much sums it up....

• Commented on Boing Boing Video shoot notes: The Mighty Boosh
  I totally missed them at Comic Con. I probably wouldn't have had anything to say anyway except "Hur funny haha PEPPERMINT NIGHTMARE!" so maybe it was for the best....
• Commented on The Most Wrenchingly Judgmental Game Over Screen
  Thirding /fourthing /etc. The King of All Cosmos nomination. He's harsh enough when you're doing WELL in Katamari. My personal favorite is Guile vs. Chun Li....

  Bah, Wind Waker-era Zelda had me perplexed. The hair looked a bit too green (though that is how it looks in the game too) and I assumed it was someone from one of the Dragon Quest games....
• Commented on One More Go: Why <em>Typing Of The Dead</em> makes me feel so alive.
  Of note: this is available on GameTap if you prefer a more legal way to play on PC. It's also not too difficult to find brand new copies of the Dreamcast version, as well as brand new or gently used...

• Commented on Little Wars: Rockstar's <em>Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars</em> jumping to PSP
  I'm glad that more people will get to play it, but honestly if it can't sell gangbusters (ha ha) on the DS then I don't really know how well it'll do on PSP. Comparable numbers to the "Stories" games I'd...
• Commented on Shockingly violent coffee commercials starring Muppets
  I think "shockingly" refers less to the actual violence and more to the context- Muppet on Muppet. If Kermit The Frog shivved Gonzo it'd be a bit "shocking"- unexpected. Imagine the Teletubbies slapping each other around, maybe shooting each other....
• Commented on Meet the <em>Beat</em>-les: behind the scenes of <em>Bit.Trip</em>
  This was originally on the Nintendo Channel on Wii some time around the game's release, just in case you were still a bit puzzled. Developer's Voice videos are something of a series on there....

• Commented on One Shot: <em>R-Type</em>'s Warship Core, rendered in plastic
  Hey, some almost relevant spam! (that will be gone and then I'll look like a fool for pointing at it and making such a big deal when nothing's there anymore.) That is incredibly beautiful. I hope they do follow-ups for...
