It's hilarious that the industry is already talking about the decline of social gaming. Wasn't social gaming supposed to destroy everything else, as of a year or two ago?

Never thought I'd say it... I miss the days when I knew buying a Japanese electronics company's product meant I knew there would be "Made in Japan" emblazoned on the label (I still remember as a kid the backlash in North America over every product going from Made in Canada/America to being made in Japan)

Oh my gawd do you mean the terrorrrisssts have the capability to hijack them thar ASSTEROIDS now too?!?!?! What the samhill are we gonna DO?!

"Mr. Madison, what you've just said ... is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard.
