@Killer Toilet: The cost of games has actually gone down over the years, despite what people think. An original SNES cart would have been about $70-80, and that was in the early 90s. Genesis games debuted at $60-70. Games today are $50-60 depending on the console. And that doesn't even take into account inflation;…

@DoctorDynamite: While I do buy games occasionally on Steam, I still prefer to buy an actual disc if I can. The online stores could eventually disappear, losing me my game forever. That won't happen with a physical copy.

@Rory Alistair Jones: If you feel that strongly about it, you could buy every single PS2 game they have. I consider myself lucky they even sell the games anymore, considering how little profit there is in it. They could have just given up, and destroyed the entire stock, game discs and all.

@Goldwings: Peel carefully and slowly, and then use a little bit of rubbing alcohol and a paper towel to clean off whatever remains. It's a pain in the ass to do, but it's the best way to get rid of that stuff.

@thepenguin55: It's even better if it's something like a funny commercial, which I've seen taken down before. I'm sorry, I didn't realize your commercial was so highly guarded as to be incapable of being shared with others. I'll be sure to avoid watching it on television, too, in case that's infringing on someone's…

@earle117: They did try that for a while; after a few lawsuits where individuals were fined hundreds of thousands of dollars, most of these companies decided that it (a) wasn't any kind of deterrent, and (b) was causing severe backlash from people justifiably upset that little kids' lives were ruined for downloading…

@Sacchi: That's not what the lawsuit was about. Rapidshare, and pretty much every other filehost site, always take down links to files immediately after they are notified of copyright content. Atari (and others) have sued saying the existence of the sites themselves should be more regulated, and that people shouldn't…

@TheLostVikings: I put the sexy in dyslexia.

@xombiepongsifu: It's a state-by-state thing. In California, it's illegal.

@ToastyUterus: Unless they were someone who doesn't have XBL, or just didn't want to play online. If the code is anything like every other code I've gotten in a game, it would be easy to see if it had been used or not.

@bma2192: In my defense, the Back to the Future series also has Libyans selling plutonium in the US, and has hovercraft and nuclear fusion technology as being commonplace just 4 years from now, past the point of the supposed apocalypse. So maybe not the best place to get facts from.

@Xyberfaust: Ah, but Joker's remarks about not having a plan are all part of the plan. If there was no plan, it couldn't have gone wrong, which it obviously did.

@bma2192: While I agree that the likelihood of some global catastrophe happening in 2012 is close to zero, you have some serious errors in your statement.

@Xyberfaust: I'm planning on becoming a super villain in the event that any of these costumed wannabe heroes actually manage to become genuine superheroes. Because what good is one without the other?

@dimensionaut: Because either way, you're not getting the woman that's pictured there. Some people figure if they are going to lust after something unattainable, might as well make it a perfect specimen.

So many movies to see, so little money. Must carefully select my films, here. As much as I enjoy the "so bad it's good" films, or those that reject plot in favor of more CGI, I think that I'm going to have to just see the few movies that end up actually being good after the reviews come in. No midnight showings for…

@Chaosrunner: Your post reminded me of a device I saw that tracks head motion, and is designed to prevent you from falling asleep at the wheel. If you nod off at all, it makes a loud beeping sound until you look back up at the road, hopefully to wake up.

@piehguy22: Who?

@Mistdyna: People have been copying and downloading Blu-rays since they first came out. It's rather easy to do; the only downside is the size. A Blu-ray disc image can easily be 20-30 GB in size.

@HerreH: I'm sure they could just turn any of the random Portal-centric objects into a hat. Get the companion cube or an AI core up on your head.
