Commented on Gimme Indie Game: Konjak's <em>Legend of Princess</em>
This game is so full of awesome. The references in the art, play and music is well done and does really give it that "zelda" feel, I especially how it pulls from so many of the different games. (And Link's...

Commented on Happy Public Domain Day 2009!
Now I can write that popeye meets ragedy ann cross over! :) #13: Anonymous - how does that work if someone buys the rights for something that then becomes public domain? Isn't what King Features has (well except maybe new...

Commented on Mommy? Maurice Sendak's monstrous kids' pop-up book
Wow. I don't have any kinds, and I want this book. I'm a big Maurice Sendak fan. I grew up on Where the wild things are and learned my ABCs from Alagators all around. Sendak both was inspired by and...

Commented on Stephen Fry on the beauty of "incorrect" language and the stupid futility of linguistic pedantry
I happen to be currently reading "The language instinct" by Steven Pinker. Fascinating book for those who are interested in language and the way the brain works. Unfortunately it is a little old (1994) and there are a few things...

Commented on Eartha Kitt: RIP
Oh Doh! She was cat woman in the Batman TV show (With Adam West and Ceaser Romero). I can't believe I forgot that. I loved watching reruns of that show....

Commented on Eartha Kitt: RIP
Man, that's sad. I admit I'm a bit young to know a whole lot about her from her early carer, but she was a darn talented actress (I loved her as Ezma in Emperor's new groove). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMSHOPkcVv8...

Commented on Special Barbie commemorates Hitchcock's The Birds
Barbie doesn't look terribly concerned about the birds. It looks more like she's wearing them as a fashion accessory....

Commented on Kopbusters -- reality show that busts cops for conducting illegal drug raids
If she's innocent (Which it looks like she definitely is) then I hope this works to get her out, and the people responsible for this are fired and possible convicted and whatever practice be it illegal use of heat imaging...

Commented on TCHO chocolate is just outta beta!
The name makes me think of THNO chocolate....

Commented on Little Nemo in Slumberland, Many More Splendid Sundays -- a new gigantic collection of Winsor McCay's lush and surreal comics
This is wonderful. I'm a pretty big Nemo fan (as well as a fan of Mercer Mayer and Maurice Sendak who were both influenced by McCay's work). I recently re-read volume 1 of the Nemo collection (I think published by...

Ok, that is creepy....

Commented on Small Wonder robot girl TV show
Wow. I remember this show, and the annoying intro song. Mostly I remember how really annoying that neighbor girl was. I kind of think the one girl was not bad at being a robot, but that doesn't mean she was...

Commented on White Supremacists Plotted to Assasinate Obama, Behead Black Children
I'm glad these two were caught before they could do harm, and I'm not naive enough to think it was an empty threat when they had weapons ready for the act. even if they failed, if they tried someone would...

Commented on Palin hears rally attendee call Obama "n-word" during speech, keeps on truckin'.
You have to think. "What would I do in the situation?" Personally, even if I did hear the word being said clearly, think I would just go on, and as the saying goes "not dignify it with a response". So,...

Commented on Why "dial 9 for outside line" may go away
Yeah, it happened to me. I dialed 9 first, but I got a error of some sort ("no such number" I believe) I tried again and got it the second time. Then a police officer showed up. I don't think...
-
Commented on Virtual "murderer" jailed
It sounds like she knew the password, or guessed it. The reaction is just mind staggeringly silly. May a little bit of a linguistic nit-pick, but it seems the analogy to real life is more manslaughter and/or 3rd degree murder,...

Commented on You'll need a passport to buy a mobile phone in the UK
#2: Uh, is there an alternate universe where there are more than one? (I'm guessing you're asking which PART east or west.) -- Am I the only one to think of Bourne Ultimatum? At least now they know agents can't...

Commented on Video of a guy implanting an RFID chip into his hand
Ironically, as a Christian myself, my objection to the idea of implanted RFID cards isn't from revelation but from Little brother. I'm somewhat skeptical that the RFID tag is indeed safe from being hacked. I mean, it's fine if you...

Commented on Bank Robber Uses Craigslist To Hire Unsuspecting Accomplices
The specificity of the clothing should have been the tip-off. Why would someone need a blue shirt? Pretty brilliant plan, though I hope they get the guy....

Commented on Kevin Mitnick detained, released after Colombia trip
small typo "detained BY A U.S Customs Agent." I'm so glad Mitnik's reformed. Or is he... .> :D...

Commented on In Washington and on Wall Street, it's harder to figure out who is negotiating for the pirates and who is negotiating on our behalf.
Yeah, go ahead and negotiate with the pirates and watch as more situations happen because they know they can get a sweet $5mil deal. I'm no expert, but my advice would be the same as Tommy Lee Jone's character in...

Commented on Lost in America as Metaphor for Mortgage Meltdown
An apt metaphor. I don't think I would be as nice as the casino guy was. I would tell the guy he's crazy and he doesn't understand how reality works....

Commented on Guitar Praise: Christianized Guitar Hero
#120: "You either know all this and approve, or you're so brainwashed you'll never see it." So I'm either presumed to be a evil mastermind or a brainwashed zombie? There's no room for being simply mistaken? "Believing everyone is a...

Commented on Testimony of Troy Davis, on death row in Georgia
#40 (me): Oops. "I don't see why the *don't* look into a new trial." Kind of changes meaning when I leave out words, though I think my second part clarifies what I meant. #45: I agree. #46: Yes, but what...
