Christmas is over, so it’s okay to be cynical and heartless again. Thank goodness. That was like holding my breath for a month. Anyway, thanks to Jansolo for this one:

Object-Oriented Debate
There are two major schools of thought about how you should write software. Here's what they are and why people argue about it.
Self-Balancing Gameplay
There's a wonderful way to balance difficulty in RPGs, and designers try to prevent it. For some reason.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
The Dumbest Cutscene
This is it. This is the dumbest cutscene ever created for a AAA game. It's so bad it's simultaneously hilarious and painful. This is "The Room" of video game cutscenes.
Fable II
The plot of this game isn't just dumb, it's actively hostile to the player. This game hates you and thinks you are stupid.
Haha! I caught this on another site, but its pretty funny. I’m a big 24 fan. Some of the editing is a little sketchy but it works out just fine.
never watched an episode of 24 before but that was Brilliant.
“You’re on the naughty list.”
“You son of a bitch!”
:p
LoL… that’s hilarious.
“And Jack…. Merry Christmas”
Nice. I have never watched 24 but I enjoyed it.
You should keep Christmas in your heart all year through.
I can’t wait for the return to normalcy! Now if only people would stop referring to current events as ‘after Christmas…’
There are 12 days of Christmas ‘tween the 25th of December and Epiphany.
That movie is done excellently! Good laugh.
That is excellent.
In a similar theme, but even more elaborate and full of win (IMHO), check out the two-part Rare Exports:

I always knew Santa was a terrorist.
And speaking of Rare Exports there’s also a movie in the works!

Rare Exports definitely win. Freakin’ BRILLIANT.
@ #10:
Santa is clearly a Canadian. He lives in the Arctic Circle, comes down to the States and leaves boxes under trees. Typical M.O. of the Canadian Shopper.
Strange that no one else has commented this way, but I kinda found that Santa to be the creepiest mofo I’ve seen in a long time. I think I enjoyed the video (and the concept was neat), but it was disquieting in a way I can’t really describe. That may have a lot to do with the fact that Bauer is always so intense. :)
Was going to comment, but then I realized I was going political””I’ve never been a fan of the implicit politics of 24, so I liked the way that this parody calls them into question.
Is that within bounds? I appreciate the culture of this site, so I don’t want to do anything to poison the well.
