Yeah...it’s AMAZING how you’ve come to this internet forum conclusion with almost zero knowledge of the wife, the conditions of their home life, finances, length of time together (before and after marriage)...or any of the other numerous variables that ultimately determine a lasting relationship.

Federal misdemeanors are not expungable. A federal misdemeanor for marijuana possession will follow you for life. Every rental check, every employer that does a background check. Not to mention federal probation and a fine, and that’s if you get lucky and don’t draw fed time.

As a former union steward, local vice president and state officer in a major federal union...I don’t understand the issue here, at least when it comes to suggesting a union. Youtube is a platform. Streamers are sole proprietors. They don’t work for Twitch or Youtube or any other platform. They get the opportunity to…

That would be interesting to know. PS4 hit over 50 million after the 2016 holiday season, so they are moving over a million units a month, on average.

Kimishima stated in January of this year he expected the Switch to “sell as well as the Wii.”

That doesn’t change anything I said, and if you have both of those books then you know that Nintendo has an intentional strategy for over 30 years of not supplying hardware to meet demand, especially at launch.

Console Wars talks about this early strategy of limiting supply, but I can’t cite it while at work. This is how Nintendo controls the narrative around their hardware.

This is the strategy Nintendo has used since they started selling the NES. Take a look at The Ultimate History of Video Games by Steven Kent or Console Wars by Blake Harris.

First post:

FRANK, cronyism is the proper term because what is being described here is a network of insiders giving a favor to a colleague. And I am not talking about something benign like giving them a ride home from the airport. An article endorsing a purchase on a just-released game on one of the most trafficked sites on the…

You can look up various definitions for “cronyism” and you can also refer to Wikipedia’s entry for “favoritism” and note that it points to “cronyism.” Cronyism speaks to preferential treatment being given due to a status as a “friend or colleague.” The term is not limited to political appointments or to employment. It…

No, what you are doing is engaging in ad hominen attacks, a tactic you’ve used as a crutch while rhetorically limping throughout this discussion, as if hilariously and ironically calling someone a “malapropist” is somehow a substitute for a point or evidence or a valid rejoinder.

Your puerile admission that you have no valid argument is accepted. Have a good day, FRANK.

Most people would have used “Humble” to designate on of Humble Bundle’s game bundles? “Yo, FRANK, I just bought the Indie Humble!” “FRANK, I am sorry you couldn’t afford 12 bucks for the May Humble. :(“

FRANK, I made it very clear I was talking about Humble Bundle. I was capitalizing “Bundle” to refer to Humbly Monthly and their standard Bundle promotions. When did I mention Groupees or Bundle Stars or any other company by name besides Humble Bundle?

I mean to say “uncommon for a new game not in EA.” But you addressed that with the information about “Debuts.” I haven’t heard of that policy and I have had an HB account for 5 years. I wasn’t even aware Morphblade was a new release until I saw the review on Kotaku.

Thank you for adding nothing to the discussion.

Would this game be getting a review if Tom Francis didn’t have a lot of connections and friends in gaming journalism? There are hundreds of titles getting released on Steam every month. And they get almost no attention on Kotaku. And MacLeod is an infrequent writer at best, especially if we discount those throwaway…

If it’s on carnitas, you better take it!
