why do you hate cultural values and people who are different?

Thank you for unpacking the joke out loud for everybody.

There's a site like that. I think it's called Metacritic?

How adept at objective criticism and empathetic reasoning are you on a scale of 1-10?

Wow. So your telling me that the way things are is totally normal and correct and not at all interesting or worth comment. This is amazing stuff. Thank you so much for de-enlightening me. Everything's basically like toilet paper. Got it!

Aw man, I'm sorry. Let's go with something more Kotaku-ish:

You just elaborated on my point earlier: "We're all marks. It's all a con. Like, all of it." and before that: "The logic of capitalism is just awe-inspiring when you see it in action."

Horse and buggies still exist (I grew up in Amish country), but they don't effect car prices. Kotaku doesn't cost as much as Game Informer. NYTimes.com is cheaper than than dead tree version. I'm not sure where you're getting this connection.

"Known/Shippable"

Well there's another industry that recently converted from physical to digital distribution: newspaper and magazine publishing.

If you simply traded currency for utility, I would not notice or comment on that. But you paid for a thing you can't use. And you're psyched about it! That's what makes me get theatrical.

It ain't about you. We're all consumers. We're all suckers. We're all marks. It's all a con. Like, all of it. I'm just pointing out the situation we find ourselves in. The best con artists are the ones who con their marks without the marks even knowing it and furthermore being so excited about it that they tell their…

You say "PC-specific SKUs tend to be the best performing SKUs of a given game" and then site one game (no source, but we'll take your word for it) doing better on PC than consoles. Did Borderlands 2 make more money off PC sales or consoles sales? You were a bit vague there. Do you have any other statistics to back up…

Hey man, where's the part where's the part where they break down sales by platform? I couldn't find it.

Ha! This guy bought a game he doesn't even know anything about and he has to wait to build an entire new computer just to get it to work and he's crowing about what a great deal he got. Have you ever seen the movie the Sting? Grifters? They took your dollar and in return you got something you can't even use and don't…

The costs of physical product for videogames (i.e. DVD-ROMS and those plastic cases) is functionally zero. Netfix (and AOL before them) sends those coasters out for free. The price of video games has been stable (adjusting for inflation/platform performance [i.e. Gameboy games < SNES games]) forever. AAA games are…

You should stick a test disc in just to make sure you don't have one of those wonky, grindy, drives.

Psst. You MasterRacers know we can all hear you talking about your PC problems, right?

This is a bad joke. Is it because his name is funny? Ernest Borgnine's a great actor who died less than 2 years ago. I feel bad for his kids who might stumble upon shitty photoshop memes from some videogamers who thought "reincarnated Ernest Borgnine" is high-larious for no discernible reason. Internet shittiness is…
