StorminNorman commented on 2010 Pontiac G8 Sport Truck: The El Camino Is Back!, at 6:13 AM on Mar 15 That intro video makes me somewhat proud to be Australian, to be honest.

StorminNorman commented on Sim City DS 2 Screens, at 3:22 AM on Dec 29, 2007 Let's hope they finally get around to making a game that's actually playable this time around. There should be laws against selling the unfinished, buggy pile of crap that was the original Sim City DS. more » [kotaku]

It's the small black spiders that you have to worry about. more » [kotaku]
