What's on your Top 5 video games list?
Submitted by mileena.

Usually I don't answer the QotD, but I couldn't resist this one.  This isn't by any means my list of "The Top 5 Games of All Time", just my personal favorites.  In no real order: Guitar Hero 2, Knights of the Old Republic, Super Smash Brothers Melee, SSX On Tour, and Lumines.  I think each one is very unique (with the possible exception og KoTOR, which has had it's format copied several times) and highly enjoyable.  GH2 and SSBM are great multiplayer games, especially for occasions when the crowd is not so hardcore about gaming, SSX is the latest refinement of the best arcade-sports game of the last decade, Lumines is so addicting you begin to see falling blocks when you are walking down the street, and KoTOR was, to me, the first truly immersive cinematic game, not to mention it sates the deeply rooted urge for me to have the power to shoot lightning from my hands.

Remember sniglets?  Do you have any favorites?  Have you ever made up your own word?  (Now's as good a time as any.)

Actually, Glen and I made up a word that is so useful it will soon dominate pop culture:

Jick.

It occurred as we were driving around Hoffman Estates, and I was punching him or something of the like. He tried to simultaneously say "jerk" and "prick."  The resultant concoction has gone on to become, in essence, a non-specific epithet that can mean anything from "fucker" to "teetotaller."  Next time you want to swear at someone without using a (conventional) foul word, use jick.  You'll be glad you did.
