MMOs are very, very difficult to do well, and for $1 million?

MacIntyre's a plumber - I don't think he even knows there's a puck out there.

I predict that this article will be met with calm, reasoned discourse.

I really like the Sage RSS reader for Firefox.

Something seems off about advising people to spit on a toilet seat because it's too dirty to use without a seat-cover.

Pure speculation on my part, but back then, MS wanted "professionals" to run NT, and home users to run 95. Maybe keeping games off of NT was as much about that philosophical divide as anything?

"One prominent game developer even bragged that its specs trump those of the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 gaming consoles."

I love the Civilization games. That said, I think in the context of Civ at least, "Ms. Paranoid" is totally correct. Those games "cheat" like crazy. She should be renamed.

I bet the villagers are disappointed.

It's not the weed, it's the trans-fats from the doritos afterwards that will kill you.

That was inspired.

"Town officials said they've been told the man was rough-housing after a game and tore his rectum falling onto a beer bottle."

Not in the case of this study at least. In Canada, public schools fall under provincial jurisdiction. As a corollary, it is probably worth mentioning that Canadian kids are diagnosed slightly more often (14%) than their American counterparts (12%).

Yeah, I watched the whole first season of Terra Nova, and "TNG Season 1" was basically my mantra. Ultimately, though, for me, this show achieved what on paper should not have been possible with a story about multiple Earths, time travel, and *dinosaurs* - it was boring.

You're totally right, I don't blame them for posting either. I meant who cares as in, his opinion is irrelevant, not who cares as in his opinion is not post-worthy.

My initial post (like last time that guy jumped down my throat) was meant kinda light-heartedly. I actually read the books last week because of him (loved them), so I rememembered our conversation. I'm not personally bothered by whether he likes the show, I just think it's funny to be here every week talking down to…

Roger Ebert, by his own admission, hasn't played a video game in 20 years. To call his opinion uninformed would be an understatement. Who cares what he thinks about games?

I thought for a while that someone was going to find Otis with his leg shot up. And then I thought, what if there's not enough Otis? How does that work? And then I thought, I think too much about zombies.

"Having an escaping Randall kill him would've offered some poetic symmetry."

One thing I wonder about that kind of scenario (and Sophia's as well) is - when do the zombies stop eating? I mean, sometimes, maybe most of the time, they seem to tear their victim to pieces? I thought maybe someone might try to go back to look for Otis, to try to figure out what actually happened. Like an autopsy or…
