I would characterize it as an interactive narrative.

I understand your line of thinking and agree that there is a major loss of value for products that are consistently and predictably upstaged by newer iterations. However, you originally stated that "gamestop doesn't accept trade-ins on sports games," and have yet to provide any concrete information to back up that…

Indeed. It always irks me when people misspell/mistype commonly referenced names like these. I mean, it's a simple matter to check up on the correct spelling, as it's spelled only one way in all official Microsoft press materials. When I see a writer for a news outlet make such a mistake, it always makes me feel like…

Is that your entire reasoning?

I realize that's the intent behind the rule you're talking about, but I'm interested to know the boundaries to such a rule.

I wonder... does that mean they won't accept trade-ins for games like Mario Tennis? I mean, it's technically a sports game, right? Or, how about something more obscure like Backbreaker, Kinect Sports games, or Rockstar's Table Tennis game: are those not accepted either?

Ignoring your odd use of the phrase "invalid argument" here, I'll just say that there are a variety of situations and careers that could be considered "commercial" photography. Shooting in a studio with tens of thousands of dollars of equipment, one usually wouldn't have to worry about a lack of light (unless they're…

That's a fair point, though the original mission statement for the nominations was that they wanted "to know which DSLRs you think are the best of breed for your average pro-sumer—someone who should get a DSLR but isn't buying high-end studio gear."

Shear power!!!

PETA, as others have stated, made their game clearly within the bounds of US fair use law.

PETA was very careful to make sure they didn't overstep the boundaries of fair use with that game. Not only did they openly label it as a parody, but it was pretty clear in its intent.

Dear insulting man:

How about you go take a couple minutes to look at the breakdown of stated ideologies instead of just grabbing at the first spat of percentages thrown at you.

It's possible some of those questions could be answered in the press release itself. If, that is, the press release was linked to as a source in this article somewhere.

I would expect Valve to be honest, yes. They have little incentive to cover an event like this up for PR purposes.

Exactly — they need to make an app version of this.

Mine have, at least from from freelance jobs I've worked. Direct deposit tends to be the norm for salaried jobs, but freelance work tends to be paid via in-the-mail checks. Also, dependent on who you're working for or where the employer is located, it might not be convenient to journey out to their building to pick up…

Like this?

I'll second djbiznatch: Carmen Sandiego.

I was waiting for that to be the counter to imagination, or something... never happened.
