Sakaguchi was writing the game while dealing with the death of his mother. The irreversible loss of a loved one was the whole point of the game. Fans who do not understand this are missing the whole point.

@Manly McBeeferton: My wife got me a graduation cake with power sockets on it for my engineering degree. Not nearly as nerdy as this though. It was also not a wedding cake.

@pmbaustin: yes, agreed. I'm just saying that the swing was partially due to the diffuclties with Fermi and not necessarily a brand loyalty thing.

@theubersmurf: yes but like I said, the GTX 460 just having arrived should change that.

This is probably only because Nvidia's Fermi DX11 chips are only now rolling out and ATI has had their 5000 line for a while. Nvidia had lots of yield problems with the Fermi I think that number will swing back a bit now that the GTX 460 is out and selling like hotcakes.

Somebody post that scene from Uncle Buck for me.

So what does having a pink car do to the resale value?

This is pretty awesome. I remember way back in the day having to use gozilla to resume broken downloads on dial up connections. How else were you going to download that 50MB demo of Half-Life?

@devilsanddaffodils: Indeed. Never really friends at all eh?

*mind blown.
