Top Ten Dying Game Genres

Ant sent us a fun link to an article running over at GameSpy discussing the Top 10 Dying Game Genres. Although I don't think Puzzle games have died - I think they've transformed: Pikmin is just a fancy puzzle game, after all ;) But I still want Dr Mario for my GBA.

    it is official; the pentagon confirms: sadaam is dying

    another crippling...uh...bomb...hit the beleaguered iraqui community when the pentagon confirmed that sadaam is in mortal danger once again. coming on the heels of a recent survey that found sadaam very popular in france, this news serves to reinforce what we've known all along. sadaam is collapsing in in a bloody pile, as fittingly exemplified by worsening vital signs.

    you don't need to be a kreskin to predict sadaam's future. the hand writing is on the wall: sadaam faces a bleak future. in fact, there won't be any future at all for sadaam because sadaam is dying. as may of us are already aware, sadaam continues to lose blood. red...uh...blood...flows like a river of...uh...blood. yeah.

    NEWS UPDATE:

    dictator sadaam hussein of gulf war I & II fame was found dead in his bagdad apartment today. there weren't any more details. i'm sure everyone in the slashdot community will miss him -- even if you didn't enjoy his brand of ruthless aggression, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. truly an american icon.

    Only it wasn't _all_ fart! Now I have to go change my undies and my jeans, then scrub the wet shit residue off this seat before it goes hard and crunchy. I fucking hate it when this happens!

    LETS GO IRAQ, FIGHT BACK.

    You have a huge population. You can fight and win, if everybody picks up a gun.

    Kill the bastards. They are attacking your land. Dont let them win. There is only a small amount of them, compared to your population

  7. NIGHTMARE HOUSE!!!!! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I moved into a cemmy detached in August 2002. I had no idea, nor did I even
    THINK about my house
    being haunted until a number of frightening things happened.

    The first thing that happened was my mom was doing laundry and I went down
    to bring her the pillow case from my bed but all of a sudden the TV in the
    rec-room went on and the lights started flickering on and off and the dryer
    went on all by itself.

    The second thing was one night, I just HAPPENED to look out my bedroom
    window and I saw a man standing there. I screamed and jumped on my bed and
    then looked out my window again about 5 seconds later....he was gone!!!!!

    My mother talked to our real-estate agent and she told us there was nothing
    to worry about.
    Stranger things kept happening so my mom hired a supernaturalist. He placed
    video cameras everywhere in the house and did a number of investigations. He
    concluded that ther ghost(s) in my cemmy are the type that wander the earth
    because they don't know they are dead yet!!!!!
    I am still very freaked out about my house and so is my mom, step dad,
    siblings and my pets..................Well that's the story of my cemmy but
    before I go I must tell you: IF YOU LIVE IN A HAUNTED HOUSE NEVER YELL OUT
    "I WISH THE GHOST WOULD LEAVE!" TAKE THIS FROM AN EXPERIENCED HAUNTED HOUSE
    LIVER-INNER!!!!!!!!!!!!
