This is all too true.... I myself have bounced around from quantum physics to the origin of the Joker to something about an Atari game called "Impossible Mission".
We, as a species, have a massive database.
I'm serious here. A borg style collective is not an inherantly bad idea. Just don't force it on people, they'll join of their own will, which will become OURS.
Well, Nintendo has finally given us the REST of the promised launch features with the associated press powered news service.
What's the very first article I read? PS3 to make European Debut on March 23. It doesn't seem right does it? :D At any rate, I'm glad Nintendo isn't taking a censorship policy in this.

It's a Wii...signed by Reggie. Normally I'd be skeptical of anything autographed on eBay, but this is from Penny Arcade's Gabe and Tycho to support their charity. I can see Reggie signing a Wii for them.
So what do you think? There's a week to go and it's already over $1000.
It's the first Metroidvania I actually own... like it a lot, I'm at Dracula at about 10-12 hours in (though there's also one other dungeon to explore, and then several hidden modes are unlocked, and there are the rest of the quests and stuff to do...). The main complaint seems to be "it's too similar to past Castlevanias/Metroidvanias" and indeed I do notice a lot of repeat enemies from past games (some sprites in the game even date back to Rondo of Blood...), but oh well... at least they mixed things up a bit with the dual character design (and the first playable-from-the-beginning female character in a 2d Castlevania game since the Saturn version of Symphony of the Night, and that was Japan-only... (if 3d games count, then Castlevania 64 would be the last one; not Legacy of Darkness though, you unlock the original characters after playing it with the first two.)) and the portraits (for some variation in environments and enemies)... it does have grind if you want to though, and seeing all those empty slots in the guides makes me want to... :)
... on that note, during Christmas break I finally really started Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness (it's actually a pretty good 3d action/platform game, unlike my expectations), and got almost to the end of Super Castlevania IV...
