The good things it does became irrelevant the instant it started facilitating child slavery.

I had a problem with my EA account once because they added a security question to it without me knowing about it!

The original Deus Ex took place over a single night, and if you’re gonna call that short...

“I hope his kids cried in fear, because they’re totally guilty by association.”

“Learn about software devlopment first”? (Development has three ‘e’s in it, by the way.)

I’ve helped playwrights use their art to turn the populous against corrupt rulers

If she can include a tutorial on how to pronounce “Hermione” disguised as a conversation between the heroine and her then boyfriend Viktor Krum in the fourth book, you’d think Rowling would have found a way to include one Jewish character.
