Well, this thread was a waste. It was originally about the trouble I was having with getting my podcast aggregator to recognize the podcast RSS feed, but I seem to have worked through that, so... Who likes cookies? I know I do! PS: Adding the podcast to iTunes might be a nifty...

I'm more interested in the other oddball characters that they're including but have still been kept quiet; stuff more recognizable in the land of the rising sun. Also, I'm hoping for a Create a Soul mode with a bit more flexibility. PS: Yoda's the punchline to the joke that Star Wars has...

You must suck or have awful taste in cars to steal. Some cars handle horribly, others require a bit more familiarity and care and still others drive like the finely tuned sports cars they are. Also, the control scheme is extremely similar to those used in, well, every racing game in the past 3...

I love the game, but not more than the predecessors. It does some amazing things, but tramples on some of the brightest parts of the legacy by treading so whole heartedly in to linear gameplay. As for stopping, I was forced to, for whatever reason. I'm not sure if it was an outright bug or...

They talk about this quite often on the tabloid TV show "TMZ," an extension of the tabloid website. Nancy Grace is the devil's vagina, but Nick Hogan is a total douche. I used to watch Hogan Knows Best occasionally, and that's all Nick ever proved himself to be. A douche, a failure and a pale...

Wipeout looks awful. From what I can tell in the commercials, it's fat Americans falling down in mud and not being ridiculed off the course for doing so. Ninja Warrior is the tops. You get an obstacle course that's difficult, but possible to complete given skill and practice. Plus, the...

Ye-ye!

First off, KOTOR2 is a train wreck so, no, that isn't as good as it'll get. BioWare has another Star Wars game in the works, so I'm sure that'll be enjoyable. Rumor has it, it'll be an MMO, which should be interesting. I'm remaining skeptical about The Force Unleashed. The Euphoria engine...

Was COD3 really that bad? As I remember it, the game was pretty decent. It wasn't any worse than COD2, but wasn't a whole lot better. It's biggest failing was a complete lack of innovation, which is a problem that reaches a lot further than just WW2 shooters. I've been reading waaay too much...

Are you in a nifty guild with their own keep or whatever? AoC has been a hot topic at 1up lately, but it sounds like a cohesive guild is super necessary for any kind of fun PvP experiences.

I have the exact opposite problem! Care to share the wealth?

Team Fortress 2 is fantastic. I can't recommend it highly enough. Many sites (I'm thinkin' 1up.com and Fileplanet.com, here, but there are many others) have articles and sections dedicated to free web-based games and those oh so popular free to play MMORPGs. I'd check the free flash games...

The enemy in "survival horror" games used to be the control scheme. This way, slow ass zombies and gimmicky bosses would be difficult to beat without requiring much high brow AI, which was a good thing for ol' PSX developers. Now, not so much. Only kool-aid sipping fanboys protest replacing...

I don't know what articles you're referencing, but I'll go on assumptions that my awesome brain has cooked up. Army of Two has been a troubled production. See, these Frenchies thought they knew what beer swilling 360 players wanted from their co-op action experience. What they offered was a...

Online play. That's about the only valid argument to make for or against either version. As usual, the 360 version has better support and more people playing. PC is the obvious choice, though. Noobs.
