Wasn’t Ten American Werewolf in London, I believe that movie started the “Best Make-up” category for the Oscars.
Number Five and Six got me big time.

Well, let’s count the number of People who will be banned. 1, 2, 3, 4…
THough, I’m torn between the bLatant disregard for the off-toPic rule, and tHe show of love for the BIg Guy.
I’m gLad “THATPSPGUY” is such a gracious loser. -_- I’m also glad I didn’t take the time to try this as there’s really no chance I would’ve won. Congratulations to the winners, desPite tHe lack of any real knowledge save how to use the Internet. Laters.
(Catch the secret message?

artofwar420 | February 25th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
I hear people like this in Europe, so let’s not get ahead of ourselves here, we (America) are not the center of the universe (Sony).

@35 bond2e2
Well great if true, Atari is in some deep trouble. They 10x’ed their shares and now they’re dropping below the requirement to stay on the NASDAQ. Hopefully they’ll bounce back.

Kenshin001 | February 26th, 2008 at 6:37 am
I got number 2 wrong, WHO DOES THE ‘TRUFFLE SHUFFLE’?
I thought it was Phil Harrison. You know, the guy who just quit as head of Sony Worldwide Studios after spending 15 years with Sony. Odd that there is nothing on the blog about it.
25
Makasu | February 26th, 2008 at 7:26 am
This is just weird, where is a post about Phil? Alot of people loved his passion for the playstation.. but here its just dead quiet.
26
Scodo_Thope | February 26th, 2008 at 8:07 am
Dang, I only missed one (#8). Though it was “Moby - Porcelai”.
Oh well, thanks for the diversion!
27
nmc75 | February 26th, 2008 at 10:10 am
I don’t think you’ll find anything about Phil’s resignation here.. it’s not usual where a corporation will want to highlight resignations.

Jeigh | February 26th, 2008 at 10:33 am
Alright! Looks like some clean-up was done.
Thank you, Masked Janitor.
And, at what point was there a karaoke bar in Lost in Translation? I do remember a bar of…ahem, ’sorts’, but I don’t remember the karaoke one.

Dignan | February 26th, 2008 at 10:37 am
Jeigh: I don’t recall exactly when in the movie it occurred, but didn’t one of her Japanese friends sing ‘God Save the Queen’ by the Sex Pistols? This was I believe a different bar then the one frequented by Bill Murray’s character and occurred earlier in the film.

I got Buzz Mega Quiz on the PS2, it’s some pretty fun stuff. It would be cool if there was more than just these PS2 versions though. Like a PSP version you could play ad-hoc with each other, and then a PSN/PS3 version perhaps? (PSN for people who already have the controllers)

twhsieh72 | February 27th, 2008 at 1:29 pm
#10 is totally wrong. the elephant man didn’t even win an oscar for best make-up.
