div#lnc div.miscmedia div {

Good shack review on The Longest Journey. All the "complaints" are valid. Yet I still love the game to death. To me, it comes close to the almighty Grim Fandango, which I consider to be the best adventure game.

Sorry Remo, Full Throttle is #3 in my book ;(

24 the game? And how many windows will this game be split up into? I hate that whole gimmick they got. But ok yeah i'm kinda thinking of taping Monday's show. But people who like the show do you watch it just for that little gimmick they got of spliting up the screen? Or is it the show itself? Ya'd think at some point they'd figure out they didn't need to do that shit if the show is really any good

- You've obviously never really paid attention to the show... it's superb if you can suspend your disbelief... : Guava D
- yeah, people only watch it to see the screen split up... it has nothing to do with the content.... : dantastic
