I'm not defending WickedCobra here, but while the linked article does encourage people to use a single space between sentences, it also closes with the following:

About.com said:

"The Bottomline: Professional typesetters, designers, and desktop publishers should use one space only. Save the double spaces for typewriting, email, term papers, or personal correspondence. For everyone else, do whatever makes you feel good."

That sounds like a lot of work, Jeff, but I suppose it makes sense when one's profession is writing.  To me it's just not a big deal either way, but to each their own.

I can't answer this poll.  My Xbox 360 is hooked up to the HDTV, but the Wii is hooked up to an SDTV because the Wii lags like nobody's business on the HDTV.

I was always taught that sentences should have two spaces after the period.  What is the argument for discontinuing the practice?  The benefit to doing so is it makes articles easier to skim—moreso if the text contains a lot of abbreviations—like a Crash Bandicoot write-up featuring characters like Dr. N. Cortex, Dr. N. Gin and Dr. N. Tropy.  With single spaces between sentences, your eyes will be drawn to each and every period, but with double spaces it's much easier to gloss right over the abbreviations.

Two muscleheads meet one night at a bar, and over a few drinks begin loudly bragging to each other about their own bravado.  As the night went on, so did the stories, progressively becoming more and more preposterous.  The first man bragged about the time he pulled a tree down with his bare hands.  The other bragged that he could crush a car into scrap metal with his fists.  The first man argued back that he could do a handstand, and then jump high enough to slam dunk a basketball.  The second man claimed he could bend over, grab his own ankles, and then pull himself upward into the air, high enough to vault the basketball hoop's backboard.  Eventually, one of the bar's regulars had had enough of listening to the never ending one-upmanship, and decided to do something about it.  He challenged the men to a test of strength.

He took them outside and, grabbing a brick from a nearby construction site, he explained the rules.  "All you have to do is toss this brick into the air.  If either of you toss it higher than I can, I'll pay for the winner's drinks tonight.  If both of you toss it higher than I can, I'll pay for both of your drinks tonight and tomorrow's too.  But if I win, you agree that you can never come back to this bar."  The muscleheads agreed; they had nothing serious to lose and they would score free drinks.  The challenger looked unassuming, and surely their strength would beat his anyways.

The first musclehead took the brick and launched it into the air.  It stayed in the air for two minutes before it crashed back to the ground.  The second musclehead took the brick and threw it as well.  It stayed in the air for a whopping five minutes before coming back down.  Then came the moment of truth.  The challenger grabbed hold of the brick and launched it into the air with a fury unlike any other.  The astonishing part was... the brick never came down.

Every DDR game I've ever played has a dance mat in-game during the tutorial (you know, just in case you've never played a dancing game before and can't comprehend the fact that the magic pad on the floor is your controller and you use your feet OMG to play the game.)  I don't know for sure about ITG or PIU.  If I weren't so apathetic, I could go boot up either one and confirm whether or not there are, but I really don't want to.

Here's an entry I just whipped up.  Uses silhouettes, but if you've played it you know it's actually a pretty appropriate angle to take.

If it's a good year, around $1500.  I don't know what I spent in 2008, but it was quite a bit lower.

I'll do one better and embed it directly:

"Don't know about you, but I'm getting sick to my stomach w/ the media slobbering over every beheading.  People have been getting beheaded since the Iron Age, it's not really *that* newsworthy.
