@VincentGrey: His haircut doesn't help.

@Bluetribal: Look, I understand the argument you're making, America hasn't always done the right thing. But the "only country to use a nuke argument" is specious.

This could only be better if it was more socialist realist in style.

@DocSeuss: I'm intrigued by your terminology. Could you define a twitch shooter and distinguish from any other classifications of which you know?

@stranger: Well, if you weren't interested in the first place (and neither am I), there's no loss.

Regardless of whether it's in poor taste or not, it's brilliant. Any publicity is good publicity, and this stunt got this post created and all of the disgust you're feeling. Indirectly, people are talking about the game which is the point.

@stranger: Looks to me like they did. Here we are talking about the publicity stunt and indirectly contributing to further publicity for the game.

@Jouen: Fear the Giant Hat!

@hagren: It may have been discussed but not in any detail. I think most people on Kotaku are more interested in knowing the cut that Gamestop or Bobby Kotick get and not the economics of the gaming industry.

@Boilerbuzz: i'm assuming "platform royalty" is what is paid to MS or Sony or Nintendo for the privilege of releasing a game on their system.

@Eternal: thanks but that chart doesn't mention anything about the developer. and i'm still curious as to how royalties are distributed at that level. I imagine not everyone there gets a cut but where, typically, is the line drawn.

Ok, I have a question for those of you who know more about the business of video games. 20 million X $60 = $1.2 billion in revenue. What is the breakdown of that revenue?

@Witzbold: While the use by US soldiers is restricted, they were used by security contractors in Iraq at least.

@Squizzy: wargasm is actually a term developed in the policy planning circles in Washington

@robnroll: reminds me of this

@Pornosaur: Wouldn't you like to ride a Grizzly Bear into battle flanked by your loyal cougar horde?

So, he's like a younger version of the guy from the Dragon Age: Origins trailer? maybe, sort of?

@Aurailious: It's a little reminiscent of Pagliacci, but it's been a while since I've heard it.

@Vecha: nowhere that google won't find you.

@PunkyChipsAhoy: It also gives you seizures for free!
