I was seriously hoping that was an Onion article that escaped into the wild masquerading as a real story but nope, just a whole town of people that obviously worship it's insightful reporting style.

This isn't true. For a fun read on who is copyright holder just search for the post about the chimp that stole a camera and took pictures posted here a while back.

He will. If you think he is going to be executed in the next 20+ years you haven't seen how long the appeals process can stretch things out. I would be surprised if it happens that fast honestly.

Actually no, they didn't announce a damn thing you completely inaccurate headline and summary. They very well might but that is just one article speculating at what they might announce based on what other companies are doing.

We have passed the point where Half-Life 3 could be welcomed with anything except massive criticism no matter how good it might be. It has taken on a life of it's own and if it wasn't so good that just being installed on your PC made you see visions of Jesus riding unicorns firing rockets at Santa Clause riding sharks firing lasers it would be scored a 0/10 - IGN. Seriously, it could never be warmly received after all these years.

He said fast

I get the whole "soak up the scene" stuff but it's a whole year. He will have downtime due to weather/mood/circumstances many times during that period. Just because I might head on a culturally broadening journey for a year doesn't mean I want to completely stop my education during that time particularly if I was really interested in a certain subject. If it were I it would be math, fundamentals and theory. It wouldn't be a rigorous education schedule but it is good to have it there when you want it.

Actually...a guy just ran into the White House a couple weeks ago, other than the talking heads on CNN and friends that's not how it went down.

However, last year was the worst winter on record in terms of snow and cold. We shattered all the records and it's already quite a bit colder than normal after a cooler than normal summer.

The Simpsons are very adult oriented..they are on prime time on Sunday after football because that's the demographic they target and do very well in it. That being said even Looney Tunes aren't suitable for children by today's standards. I can't count how many times Daffy Duck has gotten his beak blown off by a shotgun or Elmer Fudd, Bugs, Tom and Jerry, Road Runner or any cartoon of that era has been shot or shot at someone. Even talk about that kind of stuff in school today and you are suspended and the bomb squad called. Point is that it's all subjective to an extent. There are plenty of older shooters that don't contain gore but you still have the whole pointing a virtual gun at virtual people issue everyone likes to get all pissy about. There are also plenty of games that require the same use of spatial awareness and fine motor skills that are used in FPS that aren't shooters.

Society is collectively out of their damn minds. Pretty soon sneezing in public will almost certainly be considered a biological weapon attack, because Ebola!!!...arrest and solitary him immediately!

They very well might have asked for more money but I think there is a very good chance this is just an effort to make one or two seasons more profitable as ratings fall and call it a good run. I love Mythbusters but I rarely watch anymore even though it's still as entertaining as ever. After 10 years and close to 1000 myth's busted it's pretty much routine. Seen one myth busted you've seen a thousand type of thing at no fault of their own. That's a heck of a run for that type of show.

Neuralizers! Men in Black is the new Star Trek.

It would have really been a life saver when those few year old drunken emails were discovered had my computer crashed and Google lost them..how the f*&* is this a valid explanation???

And here I am without mod points, +5 to you. Looking through that list of targeted industries is head-scratching. They list perfectly legitimate business alongside illegal activity.
