Braid: Over-Blown
Posted by RandomRage | Filed under Games
Over the past two weeks, the gaming press has assaulted me with stories about a downloadable Xbox Live game called Braid. Joystiq and Penny Arcade in particular have been blaring the “OMG BEST GAME EVAR!!1!” trumpets (to paraphrase), but apparently they aren’t alone. The game is a Super Mario Brothers-styled platformer with time-controlling elements similar to Prince [...]
GPS survey mocks Nintendo Wii

So I was in a particularly good mood earlier today, for no real reason, and inexplicably I started whistling “Zippity-doo-dah” to myself. It’s a catchy, happy song, despite its origins in Disney’s nefarious “Song of the South.” I caught myself happily whistling along with Uncle Remus, merely celebrating my good day, and I stopped and [...]
