When referring mass killing of snakes, please use the term serpenticide. Now, on to the short game vs. long game debate I am an old crotchety gamer who uses words like crotchety. That being said, I have no problem with 'short' games, provided they give me a complete experience. Of course, it helps that due to wife and child I rarely get a chance to play for much longer than 1 hour at a time. Hence even a short game can take me a while. I also have no problem with 'long' games, provided they don't drag on without a purpose. Actually, scratch that, I enjoyed Darklands back in the day, and that was a single-player game with NO ending whatsoever. As the men with small penises say, it's not the length that matters, it's how you use it. Just don't ask me how long I've been working on getting through NWN2...

I can't confirm having not played it yet, but another podcast praised Prince of Persia for having completely OPTIONAL dialog between the Prince and Elika. Not sure if that is the same as the cutscenes you refer to or not though. But you wouldn't be wrong about 2 things in one podcast now, would you?!

Yay, I've finally heard my name butchered on a podcast. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1UziUhf1ukw for all who want to enjoy the fun of Shaq rapping... and about 1:00 in to get to the reason for my suggested ultraBoost flavor. Incidentally, after hearing the other entries, I am completely unworthy of even being mentioned.
