You have WAY too much passion invested in this to consider yourself neutral. You know that right? I feel like you’re placing too much investment in making an argument for the now instead of looking at the benefits that will eventually come about from competition in the future. The exclusives in the PC realm aren’t…

You ignored the most important point in my email: Monopolies are never good for the consumer. We need competition. Even a casual understanding of economics makes this a fairly obvious point. So, what is it? Mass ignorance about basic economics and customer satisfaction? Maybe some who are young and don’t know any…

Does he have a manifesto?  These types always seem to have one.  Which in this case would be pretty helpful.

I’m not responding to the article.  I’m doing a broad response to the idiots who are commenting, but I don’t want to have to reply to every one of them because I have better things to do.  But pat yourself on the back for showing up and being completely off base.

Believe what you want, but monopolies are NEVER good for the customer. That has always been true. We need competition or it creates complacency and the consumer ends up losing. Any amount of study of monopolies and economics will show this.

Where the heck have you been all this time for the thousands upon thousands of exclusives that Valve has kept for themselves? Why is it good for them to do it, but no one else is allowed to? Epic’s environment is just as free as Valves environment is. I can’t agree with your statement. When people start rooting for…

Just as a reminder. Valve is filthy fucking rich and they don’t need you to white knight for them. By doing so, you are embarrassing yourself. Competition is good. We need other services to come along and shake up the status quo. If you can’t recognize that, then you don’t understand how the market works and you are…

Heh, for us old fogeys almost every early RPG game was a “collector’s edition”. They would come with awesome cloth maps, and sometimes little knick knacks. For example, one of them even had a real metal coin. Another game came with a full pad of pre-printed paper specifically designed for you to do your mapping on…

I actually cried when I earned my Fiery Defender. Big, ugly tears. (Yeah, yeah feel free to point and laugh). Boy did you see the younger players just stop and stare at you as your animated flaming sword ran past them. Too bad it was outclassed by every other epic weapon when the others eventually came out. Still…

Pretty clear people don’t understand the difference between communism and fascism. Just because a government calls itself communist, it doesn’t mean it is.

It would be fantastic if they could get the licensing to put Phantasy Star IV on it.

People love to over analyze shit.  It’s what we do.

If that’s not the tagline for the film, the marketing team should be fired.

Okay, important question. Been trying to find the answer to this for 15 years. All of the album covers in the game are from real albums. I saw this album ONE time in a record store. I need more information because I would like to find out more about it. Here is an image that has the album cover in it.  L’Opera is on…

I may not believe in god, but I’m pretty I just had a religious experience reading this article.

To be fair, normal people living together in a normal way would be a literal snooze fest.  So, demanding the sanctity of completely unscripted TV is not going to make for a compelling watch.  Kudos to the producers for keeping the over the top-ness of western reality shows to a minimum though.  It makes the show far…

Come on down off that high horse you’re on. And a shoulder strap being 1/8" to the side? Where did you get that from? The situation is driving without a license and more people in the car then there were seat belts. Yes, that deserves a fine. I do, however, believe that jail is ridiculous in this case, especially…

Ah college students. Sometimes wisdom can be elusive.

I know this sounds awful, but I like that we see this division. Not to be confused with how we deal with that division though. That’s another topic.

You need to hang out on The Root more. They will happily support your anti-mayonnaise stance. Never have I been to a website where feelings are as strong about mayo as I’ve seen in their articles and comments section. Also, you should get some new friends. If they keep trying to shove mayo on you then they’re shitty…
