Star Wars getting the Animatrix treatment. Awesome!

It seems like there should be a robust market for home users who want a Mac desktop but want to choose their own monitor rather than being forced into Apple’s very high quality but small and very expensive display.

It’s not a vibrator - it gets vibrated. This thing is to a vibrator as a traditional wind turbine is to a fan.

When the Flat Earthers think you’re deluded, that’s when it’s time to take a long look in the mirror.

My vote is for the jump in the game where you cannot jump, Bionic Commando!

Left a voicemail on the wrong phone, eh?

The constant firefights with Stormtroopers can just wash over the audience sometimes.
