Fuck Gamestop. That is the one and only point that ever needs to be made about retail computer gaming.

Yes 'Knowing' sucked mightily indeed. I blame Nicholas Cage in full-on overacting mode and a director who thinks that aliens look like 1980's techno-musicians.

A central problem with information is how 'sensitive' it is, right?

I personally think that the problem here is that a technological breakthrough (Google) is running up against the limits of a socio-economic failure (Consumer Capitalism, as you know it, peeps).

Like whom? People who might want to know what the hell EVE Online is? You wouldn't know that from the second paragraph in this story.

No No No No No!!

Hurry up Science, and make a Triple-8 Terminator body I can transfer my mind into. Seriously, whoever gets this to market wins everything.

Yeah, obviously a history in gaming isn't necessary to be a gamer. Although I vaguely remember something about repeating history if you didn't get it the first time, or something.

Right, but there're a few other issues with gamers.

D'oh! I didn't mean to imply that there's anything necessarily wrong with playing blokey, misogynistic wargasm games (there was a game called 'Wargasm', did you know that?) but it's really become a one-trick pony industry, hasn't it?

As someone who's known both psychiatrists and psychologists in my social life, I used to assume that such people would be paragons of mental health, well-being and stability.

I have a friend who said to me (circa 1994) that she thought that computer games were absolutely amazing. At the time she wanted to borrow my PC to play 'Monkey Island'.

As an Irishman: 'Finnegan's Wake' does make sense.

Unfortunately, it's the competition part that's the point of singular fail.

Tim Curry's never been not cool. Hell, he worked with the Muppets!

If Joss Whedon finally makes his breakthrough into godlike Hollywood status, I hope he uses his powers to make a 10 part opus on the worthless, moronic, philistine lives of executives in the Fox network.

Well I do have a PS2 but I can't just tell someone to go buy one. Sony doesn't make them anymore (and certainly won't allow them to be made by 3rd parties either) so inevitably, the PS2s of the world will fail to work, break down and disappear.
