Anyone seen the Professor Layton videos with Lisa Kudrow and the "other chick who I'm probably supposed to know but don't?"

I'm about at the half-way point in Saints Row 2, and still discovering new things to do.  The variety is quite amazing.  I've been focused on the missions, but now I'm taking time out to run drugs, steal helicopters, grab hos, toss people off of buildings, impersonating a cop and brutalizing criminals, wasting paparazzi, and giving/taking away my character's tits.  (Since I was doing the Ronin missions, my character is currently a Chinese dude with a long top knot and Triad-style suit.)

I recently found out that you can not only customize your character, your gang, your house, and your wardrobe, but you can customize the hell out of your cars as well.  And that no matter what I do to my cars, they stay in my garage.  So there goes thousands of more dollars and chunks of my time to decide which of 100 rims best complements my mini-van that I outfitted with hydraulics and nitrous.

So now I'm on to take out the last gang, though I suspect that Ultor will be the final group of missions before the story wraps up.  While SR2 does have a goofy string running through it, the main missions are still pretty gruesome and serious in tone.  Your character, and his lieutenants, are all really nasty pieces of work, with practically no concience, remorse, or mercy.  It's nice that they don't try to soften your group too much.  After all, you're just another gang of thugs.

Something you can't do in GTA4, but can in SR2.

I hijacked a Gulfstream, heading towards downtown.  Right as I was over my base, I jumped out of the cockpit.  Now normally you can initiate a hang gliding minigame, but, since the left side of the plane had dipped down a bit, my character got clipped by the wing and she went plummeting (screaming the whole time) towards the streets below.  Where she landed on a van.

FUCKING SWEET!

Saints Row 2 certainly has its moments, but the funniest game I've played is Portal.

For the first time, I grabbed a whole album in Rock Band.  I mean, it's Stevie Ray Vaughan; I'm not passing that up.

Not surprisingly, each song is hard as hell, and so far I cannot pass Rude Mood.  I'll get it eventually, but JEEZ!!!

Also, Dirty Pool's 5* cutoff is something like 330k+, which I think is the highest in the game.  The whole song is basically 5 minutes of alt-strumming.  Tough, but surprisingly fun.

Between this, and Saints Row 2, I have a feeling that I'll be busy.

Skullomania from Street Fighter EX, definitely

the-minusworld.com has a great article that shows 30 of the worst gaming stock photos.  Even better are the captions:

"Oh fuck you, Ryan Seacrest"
"DUDE YOU HAVE PAC-MAN HOLY FUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"
"See if you can concentrate on your dumb game while I fucking ROCK ALL OVER YOUR FACE, MOTHERFUCKER!"

Slightly exaggerated, but just barely.

Sylar: C'mon, you wouldn't hurt your brother, would you?

Peter: What?

Sylar: I'm your brother.

Peter: You're my brother!?

Sylar: Yes, I'm your brother.

Peter: There's no way that's true.

Sylar: You know it's true.

Peter: ...You are my brother!
