There should be a game system plug-in that handles video games like Roku handles Netflix. A subscription to play video games you didn't have to wait for in the mail would kick ass. No more worrying about getting a game because it might suck, just get it and if you don't like it then seconds later you can play something else.
I think I need to visit J-Wo just to get him to make me one of these

I don't even eat meat and I want that right now.

Joey... I have a vegie alternative. You get large flat mushrooms and lie them stem up on a try. Put about 2 tablespoons of butter on each with chopped up chilli and salt. Bake for about 30 minutes in a medium oven. They take on the taste and texture of fresh, tender beef.

Hahaha...I was just mocking the typo of garlic Mo...I eat garlic bread for breakfast...:) Hence being single still... :)

Johnny I was just going to say....substitute grilled Portabello's for the meat..that sounds yummers too

Joey and a jealous kitteh; the hunt for Gerbet macarons (coming soon to a Starbucks near you!); and this Rainbow Brite just ain't right... - http://kamilah.posterous.com/joey-an...
Aww I love it! So funny that you made them talk because that is EXACTLY what they do. He makes whiney meows and she just chats and chats until she gets your attention. I love it! Thank you!

Thanks, peeps. I've been walking around with a buzzed head since May, but it's getting chilly so I decided to work on growing my half-fro back for the winter.
- Derrick
Dood...liking the tight cut. A little fade in there?
- JA Castillo
I caught the pic before the caption and was about to be all like "Damn! Look at Derrick all lined up and isht!"Now, my comment makes even more sense. LOL. I'm about to try and grow a half-fro as well, but it's cuz my head is just shaped funny and I wanted to try something new :)

I liked it so I could find it again later (and to share it to people who might know offhand). I haven't checked yet to see if Kotaku or Joystiq or Gamespot have posted holiday guides, but that's where I'd start.
- Jandy, ConcertMaven of FF
Oh.... I am still quite ignorant of the ways of FF. They do need a star option, though.
- Mark Horne
Maybe ign.com? I don't know if they have an age breakdown, but the reviews are very thorough, so maybe you could deduce it from that.
- Derrick
I don't know much about games for different age groups or what certain groups you're looking for but I know what games I like and would recommend and I'd be happy to share.
- joey
Maybe try http://www.whattheyplay.com/ ? It's a family-oriented game site that covers all games, but allows you to search for games by ESRB rating and features the most popular games on each system on the individual system pages. EDIT: Looks like they even have a shopping guide based upon age-group also: http://www.whattheyplay.com/feature...

"For Josef von Sternberg – great Austrian-born director and subject of a BFI retrospective throughout this month – light and shade were the only essential properties of movie art. Story and script had no value at all. He built his career, and Marlene Dietrich’s too, on what could be achieved with the perfect combination of lenses and lighting in a close-up. Her cheekbones became world-famous, but only because von Sternberg, the premier camera-artist of his age, knew how to sink the cheeks below them in ravishing shadow. Von Sternberg’s seven films with Dietrich, from The Blue Angel (1930) to The Devil Is a Woman (1935), are like sittings for the most besotted set of portraits cinema could license. We owe to them the classic idea of Thirties glamour, the tragic and sultry allure, the feathers"

"I’m kind of wigged out that it’s even time to do a “best of the decade” list. 2010? Really? Arthur C. Clarke said we’d have spaceships by now. That said, this list was way too easy to draw up. Is that because there have been so many poorly written/ performed/ produced shows in the last ten years? Is it because reality television became a force this decade, driving out scripted programs? Maybe it’s because I didn’t have cable until 2005...."

Weird. As I got onto the freeway, I noticed a bunch of chickens walking along on the side of the road. Didn't seen any of them try to get to the other side, though.
I am still searching/printing pictures. So don't worry if you are not there, you will be soon :) And I love it when people come to my desk and say "Who are these people?" and I proudly say "my friends" and then I get to point to the ones I have met.

Actually one of the shipper boys came over today, asked about the wall and I was pointing out where people are from and I pointed to you and said "him" and he chuckled and said "Oh good, because I didn't want to say anything about the homely looking girl in the corner" :D

Wow, there's a whole row of little Johnny's there on the right. :-D

This is such a perfect visualization of FF - all of the random people, scattered all over the globe, somehow brought together. It makes me grin :D

Friend of mine was watching MST3K on Hulu yesterday! I told him it was a nice choice to pass the time while he was at work. LOL

Love your nickname (is that what it's called). Is that from a movie?

I dated a guy who had every ep on DVD...he'd been given access to this awesome FTP server where this guy had taken all of his VHS tapes that he'd dubbed over the course of the series and transferred them to his computer and then put online for people to grab. The guy I was dating used the files to build his own DVD collection. He let me borrow them at one point to copy, but stupidly enough I only copied a couple because I suck like that. I kick myself daily for not getting them all!

If I had to choose one and only one I could listen to, The Execution of All Things... barely. They have spread great tracks across every album fairly well.
- Michael W. May
Jandy - agreed! When you told me your favorite was More Adventurous, I kept listening to both and thinking "but Execution of All Things just flows better." And I think I actually preferred it at first because of that. But then we discussed it and yeah, it does flow better, but the songs on More Adventurous? Wow. Currently listening to it. Portions for Foxes is so so so so so good.
- Lis Miller
Oooh, MWM - could you imagine having to choose JUST ONE. That would be mean.

The rough outline to the super hero web series I'm writing, "Just Super" is done. Now I need to plan out the character arcs and detail said outlines into treatments!
Now to start calling in some Columbia College connections to see if they would be interested in adding something new to their resumes. :)

If I made a group to start keeping track of progress, would anyone be interested in joining?
- Jon, the Beartato of FF
Yep - I'd love to see how you're getting on!

Apparently I also missed adding the Ben Gibbard/Jay Farrar and Neko Case.
- Jason
Also been told to check out Imogen Heap's new release... what must have music did you fall in love with in 2009?
- Jason
I sent them a dorky response. We'll see how they take it. I hope to god that this isn't the same place I used to work for. That would be embarrassing.

"Due in part to the nature of this industry, it's imperative that I keep things on the down-low. Email is trackable, and the last time I tried to engage someone in the work sector, they (being unnameable for various reasons) found me and sent British Ninjas after me. Not entirely sure why they sent THEM, but the point is that I have to be as careful as ever. You have NO idea how deadly...

While playing WoW the other night (I'm a noob) I was thinking of this arcade game. Thanks for the memories!!
- jcunwired
It would be hilarious if your character in WoW would shriek and yelp like Dirk does.
- Victor Ganata
When I first tried that game at the arcades, I thought the objective was to get the guy killed because that's all I ever seem to have been able to do. And they were intricate deaths too.

have you been to Red, White and Blues in Pasadena yet? I walked by there the other day and it looked pretty happening. Live Jazz and shitloads of wine to choose from.

I'll have to check it out. I've been listening to Coltrane, but I'm thinking I need some Thelonious.
