Mind-controlled gaming lands on Popular Mechanic's shortlist

"Expect Nintendo to make some facsimile of the technology for a future console, and commenters to complain that the system is just "two Wiimotes duct taped to your head.""

I guffawed.

If the premise of this game sounds interesting and you have a PC built after '97 or so, go grab a copy of Planescape: Torment and give it a whirl. One of the best RPGs ever made.

I'm to lazy to actually follow the link, but if that is a chart used within said link then it is utter fail. PS3 has been losing ground to the XB360 in the latter half of the year, and has completely lost sight of the Wii.

According to that chart the PS3 has been the fastest selling console in the last half of this year. Bah.

"As I said I made it through GnG once"

Although apparently that comment is lost in a ripple of time.

Baseball Stars on the NES is one of the finest baseball games ever made.

"Sure she did. And I bet she also beat the NES Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles too."

You guys are making me feel like some kind of gaming stud :p I beat TMNT on NES (great game). As I said I made it through GnG once (apparently you have to go through twice to get an ending). Also beat the old PoP on PC :) I saw Cobra Triangle on a top ten list of difficult games recently, and I didn't remember it being that hard. I recall hating those birds in the later levels with a passion but I made it through the original Ninja Gaiden. All of the above without any kind of cheats. I always did the Konami cheat in Contra 1 but I got to where I could make it through the game on less than 3 lives. Used to eat up shmups (I recall Thunderforce 3 being rather difficult).

Only a couple of games stand out in memory as being something I played a fair amount but didn't beat:

Castlevania 1
Battletoads
Legacy of the Wizard

They're still on my TODO list, though :)

I never realized how homo-erotic those lyrics were until I saw them alongside pie.

"It sure ain't pretty"

Says you! That is one beautiful specimen.
