That's awesome, especially the wooden one, as Smartcelt said, and I agree with SanAndreas, I like the NES Toaster.
Wouldn't mind owning the Mario one myself, would go great with the old Mario cabinet in our house.
Having assembled grills and smokers with sometimes confusing black and white illustrations all day, it was cool seeing this with color pictures and clear instructions. Also loved seeing the inside, which I've never seen before.
And now, to fix my gunky Gamecube control stick. lol
Weather can certainly set a tone, and put you in a mood. Rain instantly relaxes me.
Cartoony GTA doesn't sound bad to me; I get bored with "sandbox" games, but I did always like GTA missions and SOME roaming, and while I haven't played a Saints Row, it looks like the franchise knows not to take itself seriously, which in my opinion is a good thing.
Mouthful of Diamonds was great, very soothing and ethereal.
The Ladytron one was just cool. 
I love driving in the city at night to music like that.
Thanks for sharing the good music!
That was an epic Lego battle. lol
Sorry to hear about the price gouging.
I love cel sahded games, and I've always been a distant admirer/fan of Suda 51'a goofiness/over-the-top nature even if I haven't gotten the chance to play their games, so looks great to me.
What is "cannibalizing" views by the way? I think I know what you mean, but I'm not entirely sure.
Also, damn that witch is moving fast!
I never did LAN, but I do miss four player splitscreen gaming. Haven't done that in a while.
Interesting comparison to R&C.
Might just see what they have for DS at the Target near me if they do have anything for it at all. Thanks for posting!
It's funny you mention that, because as a huge movie fan, I'm getting tired of having to go through that "character in over their head" origin story ALL THE DAMN TIME. Granted, I gave Amazing Spider-Man my money and liked it, so I'm also the problem, but I would actually welcome a story with someone who's just a total badass starting out at this point, and just give them larger than life enemies to complete their arc with.
Of course, we're not talking about movies are we? Nope, talking a generation of games that has quite literally passe me by that has characters like Kratos and the beefcakes from God of War. If that's what you become used to, you begin to get tired of it and want maybe not the opposite, but something different.
It's all about balance in the force...
