My masochistic nature forced me to play all the way through that game despite it being insanely repetitive.

I have no idea what this guy is talking about when he says Elika has an advanced AI. She follows you around when you walk. Sometimes, she'll get out of your way if you backtrack. When you are doing acrobatics, she follows you step-for-step. Then, when you fall, there's a cutscene where she catches you. Also, when you reach certain points in the level, she has dialogue. That's it. I would be rather surprised if a Super NES lacked the computational power to move her around.

I was in Las Vegas recently, and the entire strip was full of fullscreen content stretched to fit widescreens. It seemed like a little metaphor for Las Vegas, really.

Just rename it to A Series of Runways.

Don't worry, dawg. Xzibit is on his way; he's heard that you love PDFs...

Per your own source, Lump > Peaches > Kitty in terms of charting.

Yo dawg, I heard you like web browsers...

I'm only voting for you if you promise to nominate Theo de Raadt to head up the Department of Userland Security.

I guess you'd have to ask the creators why they chose it. Trouble is, no one knows who they were, or what they were doing.

Man, that game was a hoot.

Game: Do you ever feel like you're not really alive?
Me: I'm a zombie!
Game: What?
Me: ZOMMMMMBIIIIIE!

I wonder if the solution isn't simply a touchpad with some texture to it - maybe a grid of raised dots?

What? A smoker or hunter kills you in one hit if your allies don't save you.

Actually, I'm a Wii fanboy. My wife wanted something that could play Puzzle Fighter, and the Wii release schedule has been pretty thin for several months.

They are Australian...

Home is basically a collection of mini-games tied together by a giant pain-in-the-ass world where you have to walk around and stand in a real line in order to use a piece of virtual equipment.

Movie trailers are not the worst idea in the world. I might be interested in watching movie trailers on my PS3. What I'm not interested in doing is logging in to Home, going through a million loading screens, and then watching a trailer (which one? Whichever one they're showing! Want to change it? Too bad!) in a virtual theater full of actual jackasses jumping up and down in front of the screen ("Yo dawg, I know you like TV, so we put a TV inside your TV so you can watch TV while you watch TV!") and make homophobic comments over the voice chat.

Meanwhile, there's nothing to actually DO with anyone you would meet in Home, so the 'social MMO' aspect of Home is totally pointless. I keep waiting for Ken Kutaragi to hold a press conference just to announce, "The Aristocrats!"
