Whether or not the Zelda series needs an overhaul, Nintendo's licensing for the property needs an overhaul. This game has been out for months and I still can't buy a stuffed Midna doll? I would buy two, just so I can keep one at work.
Bikes get infinite MPG because drinking any non-zero amount of gasoline is almost certainly fatal, and at the very least will leave you unable to ride a bike for a while. The real question is how many miles per gallon of orange juice (which is more expensive than gasoline still, but is at least renewable).
If you're menaced by a lout in a bar with a broken bottle, who do you want to come to your rescue? Do you want a nice, reasonable, New York Times reading diplomatic type, who'll ask everyone to sit down and discuss it?
Depends: Can I outrun the poindexter? If so, I'm not the one who has to deal with the lout.
Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise and fear. Fear and surprise. Our two weapons are fear and surprise... and ruthless efficiency... Our three weapons are surprise, fear, ruthless efficiency... and an almost fanatical devotion to Bill Gates... Our four weapons... no, amongst our weapons... amongst our weaponry are such elements as fear, surprise... I'll come in again.
This Japanese YouTube clone (currently in closed gamma) lets viewers add their comments in the form of subtitles that scroll across the video. It's like the inanity of YouTube mixed with the inanity of 2ch. Wait, maybe this wasn't a good response to a post about online video getting brainy.
Games aren't worse than they used to be. Neither is anime. (I often hear this one too.) There are two forces at work here:
Selection bias:
Someone probably introduced you to games, and they showed you the cream of the crop. Once you got more experienced you started noticing the chaff that was always there, but that you didn't always know about.
Selective memory:
You tend to remember the spectacularly good and the spectacularly bad and forget anything that's just mediocre. Usually the spectacularly bad games are avoidable, with notable exceptions. When you play a mediocre game now, you forget all about the mediocre games you played in the past and compare this lame game to all the classics.
Replace game with anime (and verbs as appropriate) and you get an insightful post on another topic too!
I don't own a PS3 and don't plan to buy one, but I took note of his comments on Calling All Cars, where he said that since it wasn't going to sell to Soccer Moms anyways, they should have made it edgier. I don't think alienating people who aren't in your target demographic is the same as improving the product for your target demographic. Then again, I'm a mid-20s male anime fan who can hardly watch anime targeted at the mid-20s male anime fan anymore because of the preponderance of moé. Maybe I'm an outlier in every culture's model of what people my age want.
I'll be happy with any version of HTML that removes the required ROWS and COLS attributes from textarea and lets me size the damn things with CSS without dropping me into quirks mode.

Unlikely. Rare made it, and Microsoft pwns them now.
Oh wait, 'owns' was actually correct that time.
No, he means it's getting late early this generation.
...for them to give Drive a fair shake? Cell phones or car keys?
Until we get six-way foldouts like the laptops the students in Stellvia got assigned, this won't impress me.
"Fry, if you don't make this deal I will lose all respect for you and punch you."
...I don't have a driver's license. Wait, maybe that's not a good thing.

Wasn't that CNW report debunked here?

Here's how to make companies care about carbon sequestering: Make a machine that does CO2 -> O2 + Diamonds.
Or even better, fields of the fourth stooge as far as the eye can see.

Good, now they can start digging themselves out of the hole made by all the below-cost sales they already made.
Moé is creepy attaction to cuteness.

More like, "Whether or not it works depends on what the doctype is, if any."
How about: AACS Ain't Cryptographically Secure
