Also, today's his birthday.

Do nothing to not die.

I do would like the new keyboardings.

No. nonononono. You can't just have a list because AOL says you need to have a forced popup that you can slowly scroll through so you can't just skip over the typos and bad grammar and see one person's uninformed idea. Or you can just click on the hard-to-find "view as a list" link. Oh wait, nevermind, it doesnt work.

@ Geoffrey:
You're wrong. Horribly horribly wrong. It's not that the box is exposing the design for all to see, it's carrying the resemblance to the PS3 box. "Bears a resemblance" is a fairly common idiom and to argue that this blatant error is anything but just that belies a simple ignorance of language.
To those who argue "it doesn't matter, it's just a simple error:" Would you hire someone who can't drive to be your chauffeur? Would you hire someone who can't cook to work as a line chef? Would you hire someone who can't do basic math to be a bank teller? Then why would you hire someone whose grasp of English is sorely lacking to write? People who can't use English shouldn't be allowed to [try to] do so in public.

Joystiq writers have a long history of poor spelling, diction and grammar, and an only slightly shorter history of not caring when people point out their errors. Yes, it's only a blog, but if the writers have any aspirations of going on to professional writing careers, their portfolios of "peak" sneaking, resemblance "baring" and the like will, we can only hope, come back to haunt them and keep them out of legitimate journalism.

Why was I voted down? The figure clearly states that the 1.51 and 1.69 million figures are for other titles. If this isn't clear enough on its own, Dragon Quest V and Dissidia sold a combined 2.13 million in Japan, reading off the totals given, exceeding the alleged 1.51 million cited in the article above. What's worse, the total figures are given explicitly (albeit in Japanese, but clearly enough to anyone who can do basic math) at the right of the graph as 5.19 and 3.17 million in sales for Japan and North America, respectively.

Your analysis shows a complete inability to read bar graphs. The "total" figure you cite refers not to the total games sold, but to other titles.
Learn to do 4th grade math, then come back and see me.

ill-advised stripper jokes, weeknights at 10 this fall on NBC!

@patricia:
To be precise, Obama (in the clip) said that he believes marriage "is between one man and one woman," not that marriage "should be between one man and one woman," as most phrase it. It may be a nit-picky semantic argument, but it does come short of arguing what the state of things should be.
