I'm sure many of you already knew there are multiple endings based on how much money you accumulate: ...But did you know there's a secret "bad ending" if you pass the game with $0? I had no idea until many years after the fact. Kind of interesting!

Funny, I always thought the NES Strider sucked. Terribly awkward jump physics made it almost unplayable. Unlike Bionic Commando, which was actually an improvement over the arcade version! the game that got me into Sierra adventure games:

That's an awesome track, too.

This may actually be the most complicated sentence I've ever read in my life.

You really have a knack for explaining! When I try to think logically, I could imagine that if we didn't have to put the majority of the money that exists in our country into an incredibly tiny portion of the population's pockets (say, oh... 1%), we could probably make productive use of our...

Dude, I'm done with you. You have no respect for human life, so everything you've ever said is worthless. How can we have a reasonable conversation about anything when you don't even understand the value of human life? You're worse than a moron, you're a moron with delusions of grandeur. We're...

You're not making more enemies because you "matter". You're creating more enemies because you're killing people (most of them innocent civilians) on their own land in what they'd rightly consider to be the most cowardly way possible. But the fact that you consider them "backwards cave dwellers"...

So where do you draw the line? Why not nuke the whole country and say "Sorry, this is war. Innocent people die sometimes." My point is there is no need to kill these people with drone strikes, not even the intended targets. You're perfectly safe. You are, however, INCREASING your risk by...

What does this evenmean? Is this school yard machismo your defense for killing innocent people overseas? Because you don't want America to be seen as apussy? And then you tell meIneed to grow up? Pathetic.

Take your pick, I'm all ears. Can you specifically address the fact that you're actively creating more enemies, please? The people who you're pissing off (and, by the way, who are entirely fucking justified in being pissed off) are being given excellent reasons to do whatever is in their power...

Please, elaborate on how they could hurt you. I genuinely want to know. Zero risk to the US? the only reason the guys you just killed posed a threat at all is because they were pissed about you drone striking them. You created your own problem, you're not protecting yourself from it...

How are those guys posing a threat to you? What's that? They're threatening to attack US troops in Afghanistan? How about getting those US troops the fuck out of Afghanistan? Wait a second... did you even see the reason WHY they're making these threats? "The group threatened in June to...

Jesus Christ, guys, answer the fucking question: What are you protecting yourselves from?

Even if that's true, that changes nothing. Your choices are not restricted to "boots on the ground" or "drone strikes". Clearly. There appeared to be some kind of debate as to how big of a difference there is between human-operated VS completely automated drone strikes. All I'm saying is the...

Even if drones are operated by people, that's basically one step removed from playing a video game. Regardless of how they are operated, it is not OK to blow up large numbers of innocent civilians who have absolutely nothing to do with your fucking war. "Sometimes there's collateral damage and...

I'm glad to hear such optimism regarding your country's current state of affairs. It warms my heart that you believe in the human spirit's ability to overcome any and all obstacles. I believe in that too. But what I see going on right now is not a matter of "the US has been through worse", nor...

Argh! Always wanted to get this game but never saw it ANYWHERE. Did finally get my wish when I lived in Japan and found the Japanese version, though (called, strangely enough, "Lickle"). Unrelated:

All right, man. I'll change my analogy: Ron Paul is the cinder block. You correctly refuse to tie the cinder block around your neck, and this decision prevents you from being pulled to the bottom of the ocean. Congratulations. Do you feel better now as the water surrounds your ankles, your...

a) So you're a "the devil you know is better than the devil you don't" guy. I'm a "to continue the same approach and expect a different result is the definition of insanity" guy. Just two ways of looking at the same situation. b) I'm not pro-anarchy, and I'm not perfectly happy to give up any...

"I'm not getting into that lifeboat!" "Dude, the ship is sinking." "That lifeboat is tiny, has no supplies and we wouldn't last 2 days in that thing." "Dude, we're sinking! If you stay on the ship you will drown!" "Fuck you! This isn't a binary situation! I choose Not Lifeboat!" Now, for...

I'm not trying to convert everyone into a Ron Paul supporter, I'm just tired of being shit on because I believe a flawed solution is better than no solution, which is incidentally what everyone else suggests (unless this Scandinavian socialism thing pans out). Ron Paul's a done deal now, I don't...

Me too. Got any?

If he ran here, I'd probably vote for him. I know nothing of Scandinavian style socialism, but I'm already intrigued. That's because a) You're not one of the ever-growing number of people feeling the effects (yet). b) You don't care that your rights and freedoms are being compromised. c) You...

Actually, I'm a PS3 guy myself. I just figured the XBox is more emblematic of Americosity in general. I believe I've addressed this several times already, but here we go again: The many, many families who have been pushed below the poverty line would likely wholeheartedly agree with my analogy...

Maybe I missed something... what's the alternative? I'm sorry if you think I was making an implication. Here, let me be more explicit: I believe Ron Paul would be better than the current power. Do you know why the first several lifeboats on the Titanic were sent out less than half full? It...

Nope, you stick with your system, however terrible and guaranteed to get worse it is (sinking ship, anyone?), because you still have your XBox. By the way, every presidential candidate since presidency was established promised to fix everything the last guy did wrong. I happened to like Ron...

None. I can't believe, it absolutely blows my mind that I have to keep repeating this, as there are only so many combinations of words that can be used to get the same idea across: The only guarantee, the ONLY one, is thatthe current system fucking sucks and is getting worse by the day. That's a...

Do we? Do we already know that? I don't know that. Seems like a lot of assumption and speculation to me, especially since we have no idea how Ron Paul would have carried out the changes he described on a practical level. I agree with you, believe it or not. There are things all citizens should...

Some great 8-bit versions of classic songs: Nivana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit", River City Ransom style Bob Dylan's "Like a Rolling Stone", Castlevania III style (also the happiest song you will hear today) The Doors' "Light My Fire", Wrecking Crew style I think the...

Even funnier if you understand French.

One of the finest 8-bit tracks ever composed.

Wait a second... what qualifies something as propaganda to you? That first video you posted didn't seem anything other than completely logical to me. The gas prices one, on the other hand, I found to be more than a little iffy. You seem like an intelligent fellow, so I'm genuinely curious as...

I highly recommend this for some insight as to how Chavez was seen BY HIS OWN PEOPLE.
