It quite possibly originated there; I'd imagine someone saw that and remembered the formula for the sum of cubes:
45^2 = (9 * 10 / 2)^2 (Given): (n * (n + 1) / 2)^2 = 1^3 + 2^3 + ... + n^3 (9 * 10 / 2)^2 = 1^3 + 2^3 + ... + 9^3

I've barely opened Dota 2 since Deadlock came out! Is RingMaster fun?

Portal 2 was meatier than Portal, but still left me wanting more.

F.E.A.R. had me enjoying FPS like I never thought I would.

(Movie soundtrack counts as an album in the Indian context, right? Right!)

Bombay and Kadhal Mannan are great runner-ups, but A R Rahman's debut track from Roja was perfection right away.

Post a PERFECT album from the 90s that isn't Nirvana or Pearl Jam
