Yes. That is exactly how it was. I wanted to stay on that bridge, so much. (Lieutenant, get these civilians out of here! I’m taking this station!
Sir, we have to get you home!
Lieutenant, I AM home!)
There was no one at the weapons station, and the Klingons were attacking. There was no way I wanted to leave the…

Your contribution to this discussion is inspiring.

All of this.

Yeah, Blizzard used to be all about that mature Art, none of this PG-13 blockbuster edginess! I remember when I first started up Warcraft: Orcs & Humans - it was so Mature my beard grew an inch. And I hadn’t even hit puberty yet!

The fact isn’t ignored. We just don’t have a problem with that fact. Publishers/Developers must run their business in the best way they can in order to maintain profitability. They bare all the risk, and therefore are responsible to make the best decisions they can for their business.

I read that Sega didn’t have any involvement with the movie other than licensing the Sonic characters.  Sega really should have more direct involvement with their licensing efforts.

I’ve been unable to log into kinja for a while so came back to a lot of info about Mexicoke! That’s really neat. 🙂 Thanks for the blind test link that’s really interesting!

My understanding was also that people were tasting a very small amount, so they preferred the taste without really considering that they’d be drinking it 12 ounces at a time. It was too sickeningly sweet to actually drink in any reasonable quantity. Like if you had me taste test a shot of tequila at a bar, I might…

Business wars podcast covered this in their coke vs pepsi series, pretty good podcast for the most part.

Your ice cream -> water analogy is fantastic.

It’s like saying you prefer ice cream to water, then discovering that your kitchen sink now only dispenses ice cream.
