"Once you’ve got hold of a gun in Mirror’s Edge, it should make a lot of noise, have a lot of kick, miss a lot at range, but kill when it hits."

-How is that different than how it is in the game?!

Why do you have to post so much about Mirror's Edge? It makes me sad to think about what it could have been with a little more thought. (When it's cheaper I will witness the enormous wasted potential for myself.) Great points about the combat though. And I now have a twitter account; I will promptly start to never use it. I'm a little bit angry because "SenatorPalpatine" is one too many characters. This is why I don't have a Digg account, because they expect me to fit a username into fifteen characters. Guess what? IT'S ONE TOO FEW! 'Sen_Palpatine' will have to do for twitter. If only SenatorPalpatine was one less letter. If only...

Perpetual resource PCG's 365 Days of Free Games - I've been finally working my way through this for a week now. I'm about halfway through and have only actually played 10% of the things I've grabbed.

Just downloaded a free game called glitch - incredible. And then I found out I could upload music into it, so assembling a playlist of architecture in helsinki, decemberists and orishas right now.

Hey, hey J-Man. Hey buddy. [a href="http://www.yougotrickrolled.com/"]Click Here[/a] to learn all about html.

Cheap game? Tell two of your friends that each said something nasty about the other, and convince both that you're the only one they can trust.

Tom, your tag didn't show up in my feed reader, but I see it here. When are you going to draw the line at making your website compatible? What about bally foreigners?

Lastly, do you mind if I sound drunk? Impossible to tell, so far.

Hrm, odd. I distinctly remember writing it up in this chat field and am positive I saw it in the big comment mass. Perhaps I was mistaken, though, if your enforcer isn't reporting anything.

Woot. Also, can anyone recommend me a cheap game? I'd love to buy Mirror's Edge, but I'm broke.

It's the same, but pointy brackets. BBcode is the child-safe version.

Redhawk - when was that? I can't see anything by you in the comments filed as spam in the last five days, and it's not set to delete anything.

You can, you just have to use actual HTML.
