Not sure about 10 through 2, but I simply can't think of a reason why your number one song shouldn't be there. It's such an astonishingly good song.  If you aren't smiling by the end of that song then you are not human.

I would encourage writing on the rather suggestive looking last boss in Borderlands, you know, the one that can be beaten by hiding behind a rock and holding down the shoot button. That thing was the pinnacle of awful boss design, really hurt that game since the rest was so good.

I think I'm finally starting to understand just why people hate GFWL.  I never used to have issues but I am now. Your issue sounds super annoying and a lot like the many I've been dealing with. This evening I was setting up Dirt 2, which also has GFWL, and apparently it updates through that system instead of through Steam like it logically would. The update downloads were super slow (at the same time I was getting 40 megabit speeds from Steam so it wasn't on my end), and it forced me to relogin 3 separate times even though I had it set to remember my email and password, and it forced me to put in the key even though that key is already registered to my GFWL account (I was reinstalling after formatting my desktop). And then it kept loading my "settings" from my profile (which were not my settings, and for some reason kept forcing it into 1024x768 windowed mode) so I had to force it to fullscreen even though in the settings it was set to supposedly be fullscreen already. It took almost 20 minutes in total to get the game working. In the end I was so annoyed I ended up just quitting that game and playing Diablo II.

Gah, voted 2008, but mixed it up with 2009. Both are amazing but 2009 is so good compared to the rest.

Here's a few I like: 
 
Battleheart 
Ticket To Ride 
GTA 3 (It works great on the new iPad. 60 FPS solid the entire time) 
Majesty 
Bard's Tale 
Kingdom Rush (This game is amazing!) 
Whale Trail 
Swords and Sworcery 
Puzzlejuice 
Jetpack Joyride 
Sid Meier's Pirates (This version is great. It controls really well and suits the iPad perfectly) 
 
And last but not least everything made by Kairosoft. It's all amazing and super addicting.

I would love it if they did something with EVE similar to what they did with Star Trek Online. Not a bunch of episodes, but just a few to see what the game is. I've read a bit about EVE and it just seems nuts.

I remember Tomba. I never owned it but I played it at a cousin's house. It was really fun.

I saw the video, but it was amazing to look through this again. I think the thing that needs to be emphasized is how normal the regular citizens are (or at least appear to be). So many people seem to assume the regular people in North Korea are crazy like the leaders; they aren't, they're just everyday people that happened to be born into a situation unlike anything else in the world.

However, I still can't wrap my head around how this community feels its ok to pick and choose what slurs/bigoted remarks are fine and what aren't. Just wish the same respect was shown all around and not selectively.

It's really bad. It's not just this community either. Certain parts of the Starcraft community defend a well-known streamer who frequently uses (used) racial and homophobic slurs (I say used because he has claimed he is no longer going to use them because he doesn't want to cause any more damage. He also left his team so they wouldn't be hurt by his actions). He recently got called out for calling someone a racial slur and the thread pointing it out turned into over 100 pages of people defending the use of racial slurs because they claim context matters (And just like here, they all cited Louis CK and South Park). Context doesn't matter, they're harmful words and they are looked down upon for a very important reason. 
 
Big respect to Ryan for being totally honest about what he did and properly apologizing. Most people would just dodge the issue or do a half-assed apology and then pretend it never happened. He fully acknowledged his mistake and apologized it 3 times. It's quite clear he means it.

If your PC can handle it, as much high res texture stuff as possible, along with the enhanced night sky mod. It makes the game look absolutely amazing.
