It's a little disorienting at first, but you quickly become accustomed to it. The trickiest thing, as I mentioned earlier, is that we're not trained to be comfortable platforming upside down or on the side of an object. Our intuition is that jumping when you're upside should make you fall off the ob...

OT: Super Mario Galaxy Impressions...

Picked it up this afternoon at Best Buy. I've played for about 2 hours this evening and thought I'd post some impressions for anyone who's interested. I'll also make the font white for those that don't want to read anything about the game before they play it. In 2 hours, I've managed to collect only...

Yeah, it's the same game with a few tweaks, but most importantly, online play over Live.

I've got the PC version and it's awesome. Scales very well (I certainly do not have top of the line equipment) through all the games. I've really only gotten into Portal (though I played HL2 when it first came out) and it's without a doubt some of the most fun I've had recently. Very addictive and d...

Usually playing Halo 3 or Carcasonne...or some other random crap. Not very good at either, but always willing to play!

The Orange Box is also $38 for PC this week at Circuit City for those interested. Are you all mainly going PC on this or 360? I have a feeling that fewer people I know will buy it on PC, but for as quick a game as TF2 seems to be, PC has got to be the way to go. I'm in for PC.

Just wanted to add to PK's breast feeding remarks that the other nice thing about it is that breastmilk baby poop doesn't smell bad. So until you start solids (5-6 mos of age or so), you've got nice, rosy smelling diapers.

Neo Geo Home Console

Any interest in a Neo Geo Home Console (AES)? It's modded with the Unibios which allows you to select regions/language, as well as arcade vs. home mode. You can also enable cheats with this bios. It's also modded with a new video encoder to give you composite and S-video output instead of just the R...

Huh? How could it be the game to get? You have yet to see a screen or the game even in motion yet. It could be like NBA Live which was decent current gen, but a steaming pile of sh*t in the next gen. May not want to get ahead of yourself there. That's why I said it "could" be the game to get. That ...

Anybody watching the new season of The Contender?

I got hooked on the last season halfway through and enjoyed the first 2 fights of this new season. That second fight...no tactics, just toe-to-toe, was pretty entertaining. I was hoping that with the move to ESPN they would have better commentary and actual fight coverage, but I suppose I'll deal wi...

I think there are some laws in a few states that limit the damages a motorcycle rider can collect if he is in an accident and found to not be wearing a helmet. The assumption being that if the helmet was worn, the injuries suffered wouldn't be near as great. Of course, this does nothing when the per...

Crucial is great for RAM...you just put in your computer type and it'll spit out your options. You can also take the specs from the crucial site and find memory occasionally cheaper on Newegg.com. Dealt with both and had great experiences with both.
