This doesn't actually up the difficulty much. The better way to do it is to show a problem but only partially, and then afterward have you do something with the partial problem you saw.

Knowing Valve, though, isn't Monday just telling us which day of the week, and not the exact date? It could be a Monday 5 years from now...

Show me a large company that doesn't do this in advertising. Your rage and criticism is justifiable, I just think that it would be better if you spread it fairly among the other companies as well. (I did not stalk you and maybe you already do this, but just in case you don't, here ya go :D)

I agree with #1, except that the Surface keyboard has an extra function by getting out of the way when you don't need it. I don't see anyone snapping their MBA's in half anytime soon...

I feel like the e-mail thing and the camera control should be options, not defaults. I personally like the e-mail not loading pictures so my data doesn't go over, and I like the instant pictures after focus, because often moments go away so quickly. But I can see how both can be annoying.

I have the exact same situation that you do. I love my Focus.

Wacom Cintiqs have a movement resolution of 5080 dpi. I'm pretty sure that you need to divide that by something to get the comparable unit, though.

It was also done somewhat in a Mario Party 7 minigame where you control two different spinning spike columns, each with a different speed/weight/lethality, to knock out the other 3 players.

The stats in the parody are funny.

Reminds me of this game: [armorgames.com]

As a Houstonian, I'd say that 3000 is in the low average range for a politician. Not anything spectacular. I know Obama's visit to Houston gathered 19000.

I believe you mean "currently based in Shenzhen"

It's ok if you have a tight, sturdy wrist-strap on it.

Yeah, I second that it was done on purpose.

Didn't they make something like this for the XBox or PC? I forgot what it was called.

Didn't appreciate the extra song in the middle. At least list it with the others and not make it a surprise?

Darn, you beat me to it.

After reading it, I think it's more of that the games had mechanics that could be built to become sufficiently complex. Not necessarily hard. Basically it says that each mechanic can be built into something that is hard or requires compromise between choices.

I use AIM as a sort of Facebook off-site client, but very rarely use the actual IM part of it.
