• Commented on Infinite bookstore video
  One simple pleasure in my life is that I live within a mile of Chamblin's (who've also opened up a space downtown for those who weren't aware.) It's overwhelming at first...but after numerous visits...it's one of the most comforting, easy-to-find-your-way-around...

• Commented on The cat's cradle balance of <em>Street Fighter II</em>
  That comeback in the video is mind blowing. I thought I'd experienced some of sweet comebacks during my tenure as a 12 year-old on the SNES. But this...this is the mother of all Street Fighter comebacks. Dear Lord that was...

• Commented on J.C. Denton responds to an ontological quandary
  Some nerds (this may or may not include myself) would argue that ideas could indeed stop bullets. Yeah it's a link to youtube... But then again, a nerd that argues that would probably also argue that Zelda: Ocarina of Time...
• Commented on Conservative Christian group says <em>Army of Two</em> has "homoerotic undertones"... but don't all games?
  If I were them, I'd be more worried about World Track Class Meet, the game shipped with the original NES Power Pad. I mean, have you seen how gay those avatars' outfits are? Short short white shorts with skimpy (and...
• Commented on Ghostbusters: The Game: The New Trailer
  I'm assuming they're using the voices of Murray, Aykryod, Ramis and Hudson (and please, please Rick Moranis). If not...I see this as a shadow of what it could be. Seriously...if you're going to make a nostalgia game...make it so that...

  The best post on tilt shift photography yet. I found this highly engrossing....
• Commented on Black Mesa in motion
  @Agies...I remember thinking the same thing the very first time through. But after having played it through a second time, and playing (and finishing) the sequel and following Episodes, I was satisfied with the ending. It works better within the...
• Commented on Black Mesa in motion
  I'd be incredibly surprised if this ever made it to the console market. Which is a shame because d*mn it looks beautiful. I want to keep my eye on these developers because clearly they have talent....
• Commented on Explain Leeroy to the fish: Offworld on Air America
  Wonder why the clip is cut short? Bummer...I was digging it. And I think the best way to try and explain Leroy Jenkins to an outsider is to not try at all. I've tried and failed as miserably as I...
• Commented on Your game face
  @ #1....you beat me to it. Thought the same thing immediately a couple of days ago when I saw this making the rounds. Also, who knew weird mouth movements were the result of of getting your ass handed to you...
