Stupid flooring displays and their boxes of heavy wood samples cost me the win by ten seconds! Super annoyed. But I love how it translates into all of us having the same realization at around the same time.

Alex, when are we gonna post our discussion with Hiscock on the relevance of graphics in game reviews?
Tom Heistuman , January 13, 2010
How did I miss all of this? Cool idea!
Chris Cosmo Ross , January 13, 2010
@Tom - Well, I thought you wanted to take that to Wave, so I didn't post it like this. Now it's way too late. Twitter only lets you go back so far before you can't hit the More button, and I haven't found another solution to get past that.

Also, I like that at the same time everyone was coming to the answer, you guess Biker Mice from Mars. Hahaha, I wish I had picked that game.

@Cosmo - Thanks! You'll have to actually join in next time.
Alex R. Cronk-Young , January 13, 2010
@Alex I just instinctively started this reply as if I was back on Twitter. Yikes. It's possible that since I don't post as much as you (Hiscock less than me, if I'm not mistaken) that I might be able to get a few of my responses back. Since my original idea was to use Wave to kind of expand on our comments past the 140 character limit into a roundtable discussion (2vs1 isn't very round...whatever) I think it's still possible.

When you said rodents the first thing that came to mind was rats/mice and that's the first show that came to mind. And it cost me!

@Cosmo Join us next time! It was only 11am when we did it.
Tom Heistuman , January 13, 2010
Damn, how did I miss this too? I normally never off Twitter.

Funny though, I never would have gotten the answer.
Ultan O'Connell , January 13, 2010
Haha I didn't realize this was going into a post, that was fun.
Chris Davidson , January 13, 2010
What the heck happened to my entire introduction to this?
