Well, I never seen Hesee quoted as saying throttling, just "knock them off", which does sound more like terminating a contract.

I get "annoying" even "rude", but "gross?" Are you worried about contamination? Or worried about getting food over your phone? Just not where "gross" comes from.

right, I've even used keyboards where typing "you're" was much more of a pain in the neck than it was worth as well. There's been a number of time where I thought, "its just not worth it"

I think it varies. You can definitely disagree without being a troll. But there are times where simple disagreeing can be trollish, like correcting grammatical errors that are probably just typos. I think most people know the difference between "your" and "you're", but just don't care enough to proofread for that…

Meanwhilie, I can't ever find an orange peeler when I go to the grocery store, and i'd pay more than $5 for one of those.

"And what's with all those shoes? Women be shopping, man, women be shopping..."

I don't mind the generic "iDevice" being used (not as an actual product name though) if only because "on your iOS or Android (or other) device" gets too long.

These lists are going to always start arguments, but I think using the word "important" is only going to make that worse.

Haven't played Skyrim, which seems to be so many people's GOTY, but Portal 2 is definitely my pick. In the beginning of the year, I was expecting it to be Uncharted 3 (which I loved). The game was funny, challenging, and felt "full" which was a worry I had, if Portal could be longer and still keep what made it great.

Wow, English is ruined because of a couple typos? Okay, I didn't bother to look up "Parentheses" but if you assume "emottion" wasn't a typo, and that I assume it actually has two t's, than apparently your critical thinking is even more ruined (or is it ruineder?) than the English language.

The hashtag sentiment isn't new, maybe using the actual pound sign is, but there were always something like that as long as words were read.

Right, the Macbook may be great (don't know, don't have one), but even if it is "much better" than the previous model, does that make it important?

There were two I saw on Christmas that stuck out (paraphrasing):

Only one of those games I played was Portal 2, so I can't comment. But, Portal 2 was awesome. Amazing that it topped my expectations, considering how high they were. I didn't care for Oblivion (just not my type of game), is Skyrim much different than that?

Actually, if I were to go to Best Buy this time of year, I'd actually want a media cluster and secret service with me. I doubt he dealt with pepper sprays and receipt checkers...

Considering where Game of Thrones was years ago (depending on when, it may have been two books lighter than it is now), it would've been kind of fortuitous if Bioware "got stuck" with it. Probably not as "fortuitous" as actually getting Star Wars, but it would have been much less of a consolation prize it would have…

Is this the NASA version of feeding the trolls?

Ohh, good point, and Christmas will be on Tuesday because of the leap year, so it will be a 4 day weekend for most people, the world may not end next year, but the population make shrink a bit.

Yeah, I don't mean to downplay what the 360 has done. Frankly, I think there is just about one console generation left. The consoles are already beginning to act more and more like regular computers, at one point, I think they will basically merge into one thing. So I doubt anybody will ever catch the PS2, unless…

Those really aren't my type of games, but Halo 4 will probably be the most anticipated exclusive for all the consoles.
