well, duh. Companies are in business to make more money, not less.

the sound of the dot matrix printer is the sound of my elementary school homework being printed at the last minute.

I think that's the same way I feel with physical books and comics from my youth. There's a certain smell that takes you back. Still, I do love the fact that digital takes up only as much space as the hard drive or mem card.

It's all relative. Some day people will talk about the old days when Halo was on Xbox.

holy crap - is that a real anime scene or just a doctored gif?

sounds fun. How often do you double-check the sender field in the text? hehe

Sometimes the easiest things are also the easiest to look over. I always wondered when to buy stuff during the summer sales and I was always worried I'd miss out on a better flash sale or daily sale. I never stopped to realize that waiting until the last day was the best way to make sure that if a title was going to…
