I want to thank everyone who offered feedback on my questions about the content on this site, as it was very informative. I admit to being surprised by how many of you said you read and value the masses of techie bullet points below the major morning and evening updates, which I was beginning to expect fell into the tl;dr category. Live and learn. Please feel free to continue to offer opinions on how things are going around here.

Bullet-free Links:	Thanks Ant and Mike Martinez and Acleacius.
Play:	Wrecking Ball.
Links:	The 7 Greatest Videogame Movies. The Illustrious Omnibus of Superpowers #2. Thanks TDW Geeks. A Gallery of 15 Road Signs as Movies.
Stories:	‘The Foodie Magician’ and His Tableside Sleights of Hand. Thanks brother19.
Media:	Introducing Gamewave, video games delivered right to your door. Best of September FAILS. Star Trek TNG HD Trailer. TNG TNG. Thanks nin.
Follow-up:	Holy Cow - Inside the Washington Monument during Earthquake.

Regarding community features, I'm not sure if the "Email me when this topic is updated."-feature is working. I believe I tried using it in a recent thread and did not receive a notification. Might have lost the mail in a filter, though. I'd also like to mention that I appreciate the site as it is. However, if I could make one suggestion, it would be the addition of tags. That would probably make searching the archive easier in the future. If those were user-added like on amazon, it would hopefully not mean a huge amount of extra daily work for you. And as suggested in another post, a certain post count requirement could help prevent abuse- although I'd be far below the suggested value.
