"Portal Perfection"
Yahtzee tells it like it is.
You know. I like Portal, I enjoyed it, I thought it was way too short....
Agree. It's such a great game that it's a fucking tragedy it's over so soon. One of those games you want to go on forever. Hoping the next one has at least 100 levels/challenges. I highly recommend Echochrome for anyone who's seen it all in Portal and is still thirsting for similar puzzle action.
Top 10 Most Difficult Games
I'm not Pro-Pot, I'm Anti-Ridiculous
Your average joe is going to be less inclined to experiment with anything when it is illegal to do so.
Less inclined, I don't know. One could argue that it's inaccessibility increases it's desirability, that people want things more when they can't/are not supposed to have them. Less able, yes.

Top 20-11 Genesis Games
10-1 should be interesting as the consensus between Genesis gamers seems far more varied, individual than the all-around, generally agreed upon roster for the SNES.
Pornography Myths (Femme Talk Post)
"1.21 GIGAWATTS?!?!?!?"
I always loved the way Doc Brown continued with the conversation after Marty called the DeLorean a "sucker":
"Whoa, Doc! Are you saying this sucker is NUCLEAR?!?"
"No, no, this sucker's electrical! But I need a nuclear reaction to generate the 1.21 gigawatts of electricity that powers the flux capacitor."
Just makes me laugh that he's so into what he's talking about, he just adopts Marty's vocabulary. Great writing and acting right there.
My favorite line from this movie is, "There's that word again; "heavy". Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?" The genuinely interested way he asks, gets me everytime.

NYPD Ravages Cyclist in Time Square
"What’s the Law?
Many cops don’t even know the law. How many times were you pulled over for
something that you swore that the cop made up? Know the law, and you will
have power. This information is from Transportation Alternatives/

for which your bike is designed. (NYS 1232)
Ride with your feet on the pedals. (NYS 1232)"
For the record, I agree that the use of force here was excessive and unlawful and just plain disgusting. So onto the legalities! I can't see how biking en masse in this manner, especially on what appears to be a multiple lane one-way road, is technically legal due to the above. Can someone also explain how this falls under freedom of assembly? Disrupting traffic and ignoring cyclist laws, possibly causing collisions with other drivers and or/other pedestrians, somewhat negates the "whole assemble peaceably and in an orderly manner" under which any other protest would have to abide by. If I'm misinformed in my attempt at ascertaining the situation on a subject I have literally zero experience but am interested in, please inform me. In no way am I defending Captain McClusky's actions.
The issue has got me thinking about my own state's laws on cycling. Should I ever need to know.
