Within reason, of course. That's why I said I usually draw the line at "need v. want." I like the idea of crowd-funding, but I prefer to apply it to people who legitimately need the assistance. How that's determined and where that line is drawn, is likely more subjective and contextual.

I think functionality is somewhat relative (at least in this case). I understand it's just aesthetic, so forgive my lacking vocabulary, but to women with breast cancer, models, etc., I'm sure it feels much more important. Personally, I think it's sad people can't be happy with the bodies they're given, but I also…

I meant that the pigs are dinner, and the lovely White sisters were the "show." I'm actually of the wolf kin.

Aliens could attack the Heartland for a variety of reasons. Disrupting food production and supply route, cutting off the country into two sections, an easy "in" to this section of the continent (as it's close enough to attack the most powerful country, and the probably least defended section of the continental US,…

Yes, I've heard of pacemakers. >_>
That doesn't mean that what she put into her hand is of the same quality. Ever heard of breast implants? Sometimes things made of potentially harmful compounds aren't always the best for you—even after years of research has gone into them.

Unfortunately, had you bothered to read what I wrote, you'd know that the extension went the other way.

Again. The future is relative. We don't know what direction entertainment will take in 20, 30, or 40 years. But as for the immediate future, I disagree. I do agree, however, that the two distribution models would ideally complement each other as books and e-books do. Unfortunately, the reason some of us are so worked…

Dinner and a show. Can't beat it.

Kind of, yeah. We seemingly disagree as to whether or not the company likely has money available for such a project. Given the size of their holding company, the ease at which the purchase was facilitated, and estimates from sources like Bloomberg quoting potential profits at the 100 million mark—as early as 2011.…

Agreed. And I now have a greater appreciation for the things I earn. So it's definitely not all bad. It definitely seems that we get more of the extremes than the middle grounds, but I guess that comes with the territory. Working in retail, I have certainly seen a few of those types in the store, though. So as you…

It's not a traditional MMO, but it is online-only, last I heard. Still, not something I care to pay for. I'll play the free version and that's it.

And the idea that you don't care about throwing away money, having games remain viable for your children to experience the same great themes and stories as you, and your inherent rights as a consumer for the false promise of "cheaper" games is befuddling. Why would Sony make games cheaper if they had control over…

How is digital the future? Maybe 20 years from now. But in a world with data caps, insufficient infrastructure, and very, very limited advancements in secondary memory, how will a digital future be supported? Whether you like it or not, it's still not conducive to a good 75% of the market, and the fact that you're…

No, not all of it. I certainly enjoy GOG, for instance. But the contextual "push" here, is in order to control distribution. And who does that benefit? Answer: Not the consumer.

I would imagine for the same reasons as you are?

Exchange and relative value would differ, yes. The prices are definitely not just directly comparable.

As robotrelations mentioned, 100 million in debt would have been covered by the 300 million suit before anything was seen in the hands of shareholders or the company. Aside from that, I also mentioned the 5.5 million copies of Dance Central that were sold. If you can sell 5.5 million copies of a game, and have nothing…

You should never burn bacon. Lightly crisped is best.

Oh! The enlightened pigs? They're real people, you know!

While I'm personally not fond of doing anything to myself that physically weakens me, or inconveniences my life (or the lives of others)—more power to her. I do wonder if her FAQ mentions the health risks and any research she did before taking them on. The idea that she is now excluded from certain medical tests, has…
