@NervousFireStarter: Bandwidth. Mars to Earth doesn't have fiber optic lines, so you won't have Martians posting their cute Martian cat videos on YouTube any time soon.

People deep fry turkey? Is this some sort of American tradition that I'm not aware of that follows the annual opossum hunt and preceding the rust bucket pickup truck derby? Oh, Amurrican culture, you fascinate me so.

@KingSheep03: Student discount, no. I once stacked a corporate partner discount with a Black Friday discount for a second gen. iPod Nano (was a long time ago)... and I live in Canada, we don't even have Black Friday. WOOT!

This was obviously filmed in Toronto. I can tell because I live in Toronto and I recognize the streetcars, street signs and landmarks. Also because of King Kong, Indy cars, rollercoasters and from seeing quite a few skydiving skateboarders in my time. You guys should totally come to Toronto.

@12345: Explosive decompression - BUSTED!

@fsshariq: Better green than brown.

Just remember, you guys said it was okay if we stalk you. So if one of you see me outside your window, like... RIGHT NOW... well, you might as well get used to that and just wave.

Needs more lens flare!

Let it be known that this is now on my Christmas wishlist. I am pie connoisseur!

Now witness the firepower of this fully armed and operational battle station!

Bring lots of alcohol based hand sanitizer with you when camping. Keeps your hands germ free and also makes a great fire starter for wood fires and the like.

My bike tires are 100-120 psi. Regardless, this is a massive piece of douchebaggery.

I'm going to go ape for this next album! *ba-da-dish*

@MacAttack: Well, me too!

@This is not the commentor you were looking for...: To answer your question, no I don't find it intrusive at all. It's easy to install, it's easy to remove and I know if it's installed on my system. It provides all sorts of benefits like a community, friends and automated patches.

@galm666: I think our definitions for DLC is a bit different.

My computer can already be "perpetually upgraded". Every few years, I strip everything out of the enclosure and stick new stuff in. How is what I do different than what they are offering other than the fact that I probably have to buy specific components directly from Xi3?

@This is not the commentor you were looking for...: Much better than installing all sorts of other stuff like StarForce, SecuROM and the like... WITHOUT EVEN ASKING OR NOTIFYING YOU and even worse, it's almost impossible to remove from your computer.

@galm666: The only thing I disagree with here is with regards to exclusive in-game add-ons and DLC.

@Yeah!: It's just begging to be modded to also house a full micro HTPC and several TB's of storage and a cappuccino machine.
