All these things are correct concerning the way the business works. Though you kind of start backwards. The main problem is not really pre-orders. The main problem is consumers buying broken games. However the most frequent way they do buy broken games is via pre-ordering.

Also, stop buying games from GameStop.

Can we also talk about the people who insist on backing in to parking places? Not just their driveway, but in busy fucking parking lots. It messes up the flow of everyone trying to park, and what is the point? I consider it a deal breaker on anyone I date. It’s trivial, stupid and small of me to judge one on that…

I personally wish businesses would tow vehicles that are taking 2 spots in their lots. Ugh I just wish.

Hey, look, we found the guy who did this!

I’m sure I’ll get shit for this, but I think you’ve kind of missed the point. I get that Family Guy and the increasingly bad spin-offs arent to everyone’s tastes, but I don’t get the hatred and snark people direct towards it because it’s dumb. It’s meant to be.

Like I said, burn it down.

They buy a good product when they see it. They eat Apple up. iPhones are everywhere. Xbone just can’t compete with PS4 in Japan because there isn’t that much software that entices them.

Both. I use Google Photos (unlimited) AND Flickr.

Also from EW:

yeah....i was so surprised when i saw audrey hepburn cast as a kiowa girl adopted by pioneers in The Unforgiven (because i put her on a pedestal, you see). it looks like they darkened her but im not sure

Yeah, I agree. I think I just assume that people are pretty clueless about anyone from a different background or culture. Not the same at all but for instance I’m white and Latin American and the stereotypes about Latinos in tv and movies can be pretty outrageous as well, never mind 50 years ago. Not to mention in…

My favorite is Charlton Heston as the Mexican protagonist in Touch of Evil.

Miss Katharine Hepburn wants you to know: no tickee, no laundee...

David Carradine instead of Bruce Lee for the tv show “Kung Fu.”

It’s OK to like problematic things.

Or how producers refused to cast the amazing Anna May Wong in “The Good Earth” because the lead actor they cast was white and showing a white man playing a Chinese man being married to an actual Chinese woman went against the anti-miscegenation laws in place at the time so instead they cast a German woman to play his…

My favorite example; John Wayne as Genghis Kahn.

The entire state isn’t San Francisco, friend. Most of California (area wise) is red, it’s just that we have a few very blue, very population dense cities that make the state blue. Orange County California is one of the reddest places in the nation, then the entire interior corridor of the state also exists.
