I'm just going to put it this way: Ron Paul's supporters understand politics like Uwe Boll understands filmmaking.

You rented a licensed movie game...and it's bad?

O noes!!!1!

Again, there are good types of challenge and bad types of challenge. PN 03, for instance, was the bad type of challenge - your character moved like a brain-damaged tank. Ninja Gaiden was the good type of challenge - your character did exactly what you wanted it to do, it's just that what you wanted it to do was crazy.

The spring powerup is the one place in Mario Galaxy where I literally cannot get my character to behave in a consistent fashion with how he's supposed to.

But, you know, more power to you. I'll stay playing the largely great experiences like Mario Galaxy while you go blaze through Superman 64.

The one secret I want explained - how to make the damn spring power-up not make me want to tear my hair out.

Wow, Synner, sorry.

Instead of the "facts" and "logic", we'll just call her a dumb bitch.

And by your logic, if the paint in my apartment gives me lead poisoning, I shouldn't complain, because I'd also complain if the apartment was unpainted.

Uh, no.

There are certain normal risks you take when consuming coffee in a car. If you spill it on yourself, you'll stain your clothes and it'll burn a little bit. It shouldn't cause burns requiring skin grafts.

The negligence is on the part of McDonald's for serving something that destroys human skin - regardless of what behavior the customer took, the consequence was egregious.

If I drive over a glass bottle and my tire goes flat, suing for a faulty tire is frivolous. If I drive over a glass bottle and my tire explodes in a fireball, shearing off half my car and causing shrapnel to be lodged in my chest, suing for a faulty tire should result in a pretty large award against a negligent company.

That is, unless you think that coffee normally should cause third degree burns when it comes in contact with human skin.

Actually, you're not rewarding stupidity.

McDonald's defended themselves by saying they didn't believe the coffee was going to be consumed when the customer got it, instead waiting until they arrived at their destination. Their market research over several years showed that customers almost always consumed the coffee when they got it. McDonald's admitted the coffee was too hot for human consumption, and lied about why they served it that way.

There is no more misquoted or misunderstood case than the McDonald's case - particularly by those who think it was the plaintiff's fault.

I'm glad someone's finally reached back to that great conflict and decided to memorialize the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform in virtual form.

I really hope it's Normandy!

The bigger question is whether or not the next generation of consoles slows down and standardizes the technological growth to bring development costs back in line with profits.

It pays to have exclusives on the 360 or Wii, if only because of install base. But if you look at a next gen with three systems launching simultaneously, which wouldn't surprise me, games are going to have to be cheap enough to make to take the hit of not developing multiplatform.

They do realize that no matter the game, you'd be performing movement with your left hand and actions with your right hand...right?
