...more reliable source for good movies. Maybe it's that the adult comix provide stories, and storyboards, while the video games supply only a premise; or that reading an illustrated novel is closer to the movie-watching experience than the Zen numbness that overcomes gamesmen in their 27th hour at the console.

...interest-only, no-down-payment, no-documentation ("liar") subprime mortgages. It was clear that if the bubble got deflated even a little, many mortgages would end up under water - with the price less than the value of the mortgage.

Then peep 22 people perch precariously on a gigantic skateboard. Watch some hardcore gamers go through a grueling 10 hour, 12 minute, and 54 second Guitar Hero World Tour Marathon (you don’t get to watch the whole thing—thank God) and feel free to chuckle at the girl who gets nailed in the face during the 100-person game of dodgeball. The video culminates...
