Hey kids, I’m ducking out of my sneaking mission for a moment to bring you the latest news on how to spend your ever-more-enfeebled dollar. Because I’m just that nice.

Hey, Twister is out this week on Blu-ray, I see. Man, that movie sucked like only a flick about a massive low-pressure system can. The only remarkable thing about Twister is that I went to see it on a clear and sunny day, but when I left the theatre, a horrible violent storm had blown in. Yes, only divine intervention can make this movie memorable.

Despite the columnists’ reluctance to call a clear winner this week, I have to say Boom Blox is racking up major love around the office. I haven’t played more than about 30 seconds of it, but given the plaudits it’s earning I figure you can’t go wrong by at least renting it.
“Maybe I’m just bitter because toothy woman-bits killed Boba Fett in The Empire Strikes Back.” Please excuse me while I frantically dive into my nerd-proof bunker before the first strike arrives.
HEY I AM PRETTY SURE THAT BOBA FETT ACTUALLY DIED IN REVENGE OF THE JEDI. I CALL IT THAT BECAUSE I CLING TO FINAL FANTASY III BEING CALLED VI AND NOTHING ELSE ALSO I CALL EARTHBOUND “MOTHER 2.”
i think that covers everything.
Hey, you forgot to mention Richard Gere’s HD debut….
That should be frightening…
Hmm, how do the community members write these previews? Do they have get to play review copies or are they just making stuff up?
Levi’s gotten bitter.
Also, Boom Blox looks actually pretty good.
Don’t forget that Boba Fett is also King of the Mandalorians these days!
With regard to Pokemon Puzzle League:
While the game does feature a 3-D mode that is optional for two player games and mandatory for couple of levels in the one player mini-games, the core gameplay is the same 2-D 6-tile-wide-box that it has always been.
This does not make the Pokemon sound effects any less grating.
LOL. I had ESB on the brain, I guess.
“The first mainstream film for necrophiliacs!”
What about the Corpse Bride?
Oh, nice, Helvetica. I’ve really been wanting to see that. That’s not sarcasm, either; I really dig fonts. They’re the intersection of language and visual arts! I need to learn more about them.
blakegli: I thought you could turn off the Pokevoices? I just remember it being a really really fun game.
Yeah, I’d be interested in Helvetica as well.
I remember Renegade from two decades ago. The guy looks like a rockabilly retard.
