Google is truly a remarkable company. Innovation at its best...
While I do believe in their 'do no evil'-stance, and they have been showing great (free) services, I think you have to keep in mind that they -too- did alot of buy-outs of companies that probably make up for a few of your ten visits.
Good to see them do well though : I consider Google and its services to be very valuable online.
I just splashed most of my coffee over it reading: Pac-Man didn't have Tom Cruise doing the voice acting and that game has endured for more than 25 years.
He didn't call the aimbot in particular as being the glitch, but there have been numerous occasions where FPS-developers still left in the glitches/dev-codes to be working in-game : Last time for me being Counter-Strike : Source, where they left in the miscellaneous developer's cvars, thus enabling looking through walls etc.
I'm also looking forward to Spore ; I hope it won't turn out as 'a bit of everything, but not enough of everything either'-game, but it looks hopefull.
I also like Wario Ware very much, for the reason you stated above.
Categorizing bloggers in itself is not useless, as there are definitely themed blogs out there.
What I -do- find useless, is categorizing them in 'celebrities':
In this world it seems the opinion of someone 'famous' seems to be worth more than your average Joe ; And now they are even taking over blogging.
In my opinion (not too big a fan of blogs myself), the most interesting things in the end can be read on just those average Joe's blogs, as it would be more honest, and more recognisable than your average 'celebrity' blog.
I think what it boils down to, is that it is perfectly legal to download one copy of a show, but it is illegal to distribute. This would explain why the MPAA is going after the sites that offer tv torrents, and not the people downloading them(yet).
Isn't this the same for movies and other media though : You -can- download movies/games, but you're not allowed to host it ; Thus http/ftp-downloads would have the preference over torrents.
Well, at least, that's how it works over here in the Netherlands.
While, as I noted, it's not a million-dollar-mouse, I find it absurd that I am not able to buy replacement buttons/parts anywhere.
I am very careful with all my hardware (then again, how careless can you be with a mouse;) ), and I find it weird that my mouse(s) seem to have a lifespan of about one year.
The feeling I'm getting when my mousebreaks down is the same I get when I heard that lightbulb manufacturers are able to create unbreakable lightbulbs (at a slightly higher cost), but don't do so, as otherwise their income wouldn't be guaranteed.
I'm talking about my Logitech Optical mouses ; The cheapest ones around;)
Whereas I -am- able to open them, the trouble you'd have to go through to do so properly is way too much imo(let alone closing it up correctly again).
Instead of a screw holding it all together, it's the sortof click-system that just doesn't invite owners to have a quick peek inside.

As the vehicles, exactly as you described, weren't reliable in their behaviour in various ways ; It was great to make use of all the glitches.
Damn, how much I chuckled when I accidently killed my whole team by roaring through a small..small gap :D

Flame away :D
Any more details you might remember ?
Then again, you are starting the shutdown ;)
Agh, LOAD ERROR !
This image got me stunned. Looks quite real.
If I had any modpoints I'd mod you tro... er.. insightful! ;)
Can't we call one of them the Wachopski Brother then?
Freely it translates to :
Fokke and Sukke are furious bloggers
Am I reading it right on your blog that you lied about doing the dishwash last night !?!

I mightplay Magic Kingdom, Magic Kindom, and, If I have enough time left, I might try that other game, Magic Kindgom.
Now imagine Mel Gibson actually saying that ;)
And yes, 'tries', as the bit I just quoted, is one of the worst scenes out of the movie.
Ok, you got me all the way up to here.
The first two boat-maps (if i remember correctly) in that world were the biggest torture ever ! :D
I am still waiting to get my Pong-review through...

But I surely had enough of a learning experience (ifnot fun), taking apart my broken mouses, and trying to create one working mouse out of it.
