As long as Gormongous revived this thread, I want to talk about Snoopy Flying Ace some more. Really just this Google preview text:

Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon in a Sega Time Traveler cabinet.

Your slide's use of the word COOL is an obvious attempt to boost the stock of your secret publishing partner!

I would love to see people create arcade cabinet artwork for games like Spelunky, Super Meat Boy, etc. Custom vinyl decals that could be applied for whichever game you wanted to feature? And Tegan, an arcade cabinet is such a conversation piece that you might want to create a two player cabinet just to encourage more people to play it. Then again, I'm a guy who bought additional Xbox 360 and Wii controllers that were never used even once.

"We're so sick of the readers on the forums beating our memes to death!" *Sean Vanaman steps on stage at GDC. He look at the crowd. He clears his throat. He speaks.* VANAMAN: "Cool, cool, cool game."

I am playing about twenty minutes of Dragonfall each night (so the new save system comes in handy!) and have been enjoying it a lot. Though it took me about a week to realize the two characters on the title screen of Dragonfall are two of my party members. I'm very unobservant!

Whoa!

Congrats, guys! Time to finally redirect my juvenile URL http://firecrotchgame.com

I used what was had to be the entire deck of cards trying to stop the letter. It seemed like Manny was just holding it wrong, so I needed gloves or to make a glue out of the packing foam or something. I didn't even know a hole puncher existed. Though I guess if I observed Eva long enough I would see her use it.

It's good to hear Chris is now speedrunning Spelunky; I was wondering if he was growing tired of using the exact same method during every daily challenge. Plus I am morally opposed to the way he was playing. Mass murder of shopkeepers! Human sacrifices to Kali! Canine sacrifices to Kali! Is it possible to do well in Spelunky without devoting yourself to Kali's death cult? I want to steal idols and save puppies.

Yeah, I've always felt sorry for that guy. When I came back to the castle later on I looked up at the spot where that guy used to be. Then I got a bomb chucked at my head.

This is the best thing the Obama administration has ever done.

I'm so glad they didn't compromise and colon that title. Grim Fandango: Deeds of the Dead

Yes, that's definitely the interpretation of the Monkey Island 2 ending used by Curse of Monkey Island. Though it's odd that MI3 starts with Guybrush alone. At the end of MI2, Elaine hopes "LeChuck hasn't put some terrible evil curse on Guybrush." But instead of looking for him in between games I guess she just leaves. More evidence of Ron Gilbert's assertion that they wouldn't be a good married couple!

Argh, I played the first half of Grim Fandango and stopped months ago. I need to jump back in!

Monty Hall is the American equivalent of your elder statesman Milton Keynes.

When I get home I will hover dot com slash remo my pornographic parody name for this game.

I like to take girls on dates, then drive home across a bridge listening to Godley & Creme.

I really want to post what I'm hoping ***** is a reboot of, but I'll wait until Kotaku posts LEAKED CONCEPT ART AND TITLE later today.

So if an announcement would repeat the same mistakes, that means we are still years away from a new Half-Life? FYI, that one sentence means that Gabe talks more about Valve's non-games than he does about Steam Machines or the Steam Controller.

Naught a dog is left.

This is actually far more restrained than the Lorem Ipsum-esque "Goldblast Goneblum" text I would pour into anything I made.

I listened to this episode during one of the worst commutes of my life, making this the worst Tone Control episode ever. Which is still really good! After listening to Kasavin and Rao describe the early rough goings of Supergiant, but making the recent past and future look bright, and based on the comic kaputt linked, I'd really like to hear from Davey Wreden on this podcast. He's someone I think would benefit from talking it out.
