DISQUS

Love the song, thanks for sharing.

Pretty good list, but I think #6 and the three comic book movies should all be be much higher numbers on the list (in the teens), and the new Bond movie should be in the top five. New Indiana Jones movie seems like an obvious #1 spot to me.

Emoti-man is really clever, and ToxixMan is awesome as well.

hahahaha, solid list.

Either new stuff about Mario Galaxy or SSBB, or a new Wii channel. I'll be specific though - Either Bomberman, Earthbound characters, or your very own Miis will be revealed as SSBB players. wii channel could be the rumored japanese game download one that would give us our earthbound game.

true, true. existentialism at its finest, there MUST be an answer to everything! Creatures of habit indeed, trial and error just never gets old.

The benefits from dedication definitely come in short explosions, although it's worth it for the random routes that bump into each other, much like you linking to my art post and me returning to find such a well written article!

I think your observations are spot on, I was going to bring up a few artists but you already nailed one of them - Warhol. It goes back even further though - to pointalism movements when Monet would paint park scenes in small dabs, but never strokes.

We certainly do have a fixation for repetition, talk about a race that has a security problem. Lions hunt for food because that's pretty much all they're capable of to survive, yet humans do the 9 to 5 thing just because it's what feels the most safe. And who can blame them? Take too many risks and society frowns on you for falling behind even if you are more satisfied with your choices.

Another thing you reminded me of is an essay a friend of mine wrote a long time ago - that showed how we are also obsessed with making sense of our unknown surroundings in terms relatable to humans. I'm not talking about simply creating language to describe objects, I'm talking about the obsession we have with personification. Tables don't have pegs or blocks or beams for support. They have legs. We don't put layers of paint on our cars, we put coats on paint on.

Bringing PCs into the ordeal definitely makes it much harder to understand though - your knitting argument is a great example, but I think it might all boil down to enjoyment from safe repetitions.

This is something I'll definitely give more thought to later tonight. Thanks for spreading my art finds, and for putting in so much thought to your article.

keep us posted!

HAHAHAHAHAH, hahahah, hahahaha. That first commercial is hilarious!! WTF were they thinking!

HAHAHAHAHAH, hahahah, hahahaha. That first commercial is hilarious!! WTF were they thinking!

without thinking my gut instincts are:

5. PS2
4. NES
3. N64
2. SNES
1. PS1

haha im an idiot, i thought it was a best month og gaming post, doh!

Don't forget about the entire PS3 and Wii and of course Twilight Princess!!!

Couldn't agree more though, me and my roommate have been fearing/anticipating this week for the last month.

The 2nd one is awesome, genius compilation. gj everyone.

<--- eager. If only Jack Thompson was born in N.C. you coulda ended up the series with another novel title rendition - Bastard Out of Carolina :(

hahaha - you should go back and push him further until he admits he was lying, you could have a lot of fun with that

Yah I agree with Richard about Halo 3, but I agree with William Sun about Assassin's Creed. But Red Steel? Not next gen at all....

A lot of games fit in this contest but the one that screams about being next gen the most is Gears of War I think. We used to have gratuitous bump mapping, now we have needless normal mapping, but i can't complain :)

hahahaah awesome. I'm thinking 5.0/7.5/6.5 ish ratings so 7.0 average at best - can't wait to see the outcome!
