I don't even see why we bother trying to raise games to the level of movies and stuff already... We've already surpassed it. Video games make more money than movies ever have, and yet we still try to emulate it.
Why? We have our Ico's and Rez's... We do have crap like Raise Your Voice in the form of Barbies Fashions Designer, but who buys that or even takes it seriously? We've surpassed movies in terms of both money generated and overall quality.
Lets not let our all-holy genre` fall victim to the endless parade of sequels and cash-cows and big series that has befallen movies and seems to be befalling games... Name one game that sold well this year that wasn't a sequel? Ask some of your mainstream gaming friends what they've been playing, and what they think is the best game of the year, or perhaps even best game ever? The likely answers are Madden, Halo, Or GTA, and i'll admit they're good, and fun, but there are better games, and we know that, but THEY sure as hell don't.
We must stand up and fight for the honor of video games! Come comrades! Who is with me?
Bah, you don't have to actually start a revolution, but putting a little more thought into what games you buy and play would be cool. And murdering people who play Halo would be cool to. Just kidding./End really long rant that no one probably read or cared about or liked.
What are the pluses of online delivery anyways?
I'd rather have a physical copy thats safe, and in my hands, then some digital copy that could dissapear overnight. Look, i'm not saying that my hard drive is gonna crash, because that never happens to anyone, but its not like someone is gonna break into my house overnight just to grab my copy of HL2, right?
Is there any way I could see or read the infamous Strawberry Shortcake comic legally... Or not... Not that I support the latter method, but a 1337z0rs gotta do what a 1337z0rs gotta do.
I got a few questions:
Where do the ideas for your comics come from?
Favorite game of 2004 so far?
Quake III/IV Vs. UT2004?
Ever think of a Penny Arcade movie?
DS vs. PSP?
Console vs. PC and why?
Thoughts on Nintendo in general?
And last but not least:
Are you available for birthdays/bar mitzvahs?

Look at the bright side!
At least The O.C. sucks.
