Yeah, but it's EA on the other end. Can't they both lose? Pretty please?

Somebody have a list of folks this game didn't piss off? Might be shorter at this stage.

Somewhere, the unhallowed ghost of DivX laughs bitterly...

It was, if it's the one I'm thinking of.

Well, if you define "universe" as "all there is", then kinda by definition.

Far too pat an answer. It was the union leaders, who feathered their nests while sealing the fate of the membership. It was also the politicians, the chiefs, the corporate bigwigs. Detroit's true warning is that it was done in by its so-called leaders, and it should stand as an object lesson as to why such faith in…

1.) Local market conditions vary, if you know what I mean.

I've heard it too, but 'build it and they will come' absent other conditions tends to fail, often making things worse as it loses money the city didn't really have. Detroit simply has too many negatives for anyone to care if they're building an antigrav monorail or whatever.

Unfortunately, now they can't afford it. By the time Detroit finishes knocking down acres of abandoned structures, either the population density will be too low to support it, or everyone left will live within walking distance anyway. (Well, maybe not, still.)

He looks like a serial killer...kind of disturbing.

I stand corrected. :)

Heh, I saw this one referred to by Samuel Clemmons (that's Mark Twain, to both the readers that don't know). His reported success rate was 100%, though of course that may have just been him telling an amusing story...

#addendum: Postmodernism may not be dead, but it's getting a little gamey. Compare and contrast the movies that worked with the ones that didn't; the ones that worked with the materials to tell a story without overwhelming it with commentary or deconstruction went gangbusters, while the ones that camped it up and…

Ah, thank you. I'd been under the impression a significant amount of Soviet industry had been moved east and survived the war, but as noted, apparently I was mistaken. Thanks to those who have corrected that error! (As a side point, I'm now curious about how they recovered from WWII's ravages, if there are any…

You fool! That's how it starts! It will rickroll the whole Internet! We'll all be doomed, doomed I tell you!

One of the things that always gets me with economic debates is the reliance on the post-WWII global economy as some paradigm, when in fact it was a transitory anomaly caused by nearly all the world's industrial economies having been blasted into oblivion with two notable exceptions—the United States and the Soviet…

Maybe not an Einstein, but he's been putting a good face on science for average folks, and does a pretty decent job of explaining some pretty tricky topics. We need more Kakus in the media and fewer Kardashians.

Except that it matters for the science...

I give her three episodes before she breaks Rory's cumulative deaths record.

Indeed. Art is like pr0n I suppose—you know it when you see it...
