Here you go:

I can't wait to see Zynga collapse... and it's not because of any animosity towards social gaming or a superiority-complex about my own gaming choices.

Not entirely wrong. It depends on whose urine:

The game retails for $29. The fact that the game store threw it in as a preorder bonus is sort of irrelevant - if I wanted to get another copy tomorrow, it would cost me $29.

It depends on the preparation method.

But I like Century Egg, Stinky Tofu and Chicken Feet. In fact, between lunch and dinner on Saturday, I ate all three.

In a way, it's going back to the days of the arcade.

My wife can finish Contra without the Konami code, and can speedrun Super Mario Bros before I even finish the first world. ;-)

It's not entirely true.

My wife is a heavy mobile gamer, and I see the shift in attitude here too. She'll happily download a new mobile game once or twice per week, either for free or for a dollar or two.

It can't compete with Jazzin' For Blue Jean (from 1984).

It's a 3D UI:

Its isometric glory and hard-edged sprites remind me of the Vulture UI for Nethack.

It was definitely 4chan.

It was 4chan (the home of Anonymous) who did this.

The EEZ extension provided by island territory is also key to China's claims regarding the "Nine Dotted Line".

It's partly patriotic, but partly due to being able to extend the country's EEZ boundaries around it.

The aesthetic reminds me of Wonderboy for some reason.

I totally agree. Games set in real-world places (or at least decent caricatures of them) are the ones I enjoy most.

I see quite a few comments about this being a trivial issue about an insignificant amount of time. However, when you "commute" by plane, it all adds up.
