I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of IT workers suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced.

If we'd have gone with velcro.

Growing up, I knew several families who restricted their kids from watching The Simpsons. I think those type of standards are sorely lacking thesedays and we should use them as positive examples to reassert control. Now they've got the twitters, these children are beginning to secretly rape themselves.

Your issues seem much more about unreliable and noncompliant devices.

They don't give geographical information, and therefore, can never be properly served with accurate ads. Those of us international people, waiting for this, are just going to have to hold tight . There isn't any need to lobby anybody, this is all coming, very soon, for everybody.

This is fairly tame. I remember picking up a full aura bass cushion set for about $5 from a retailer, after they tanked. Geographically locating it on the shoulders isn't going to save it from being a bit of novelty nonsense.

It's the ship that'll make the kessel run in less than 12 parsecs

I see the figure of 17k as a particularly effective way of rebutting many of the so-called, inflated "lost revenue" figures we read/ hear.

Nothing quite says "you were never getting the money, anyway" better than offering them the chance to pay 2c, and having them pay the absolute minimum.

If you read this report and have trouble / get angry at the 17k, you're missed the point. The point is, some will NEVER pay for it. But hey, many will. They're the ones we're selling to. They're the ones suffering when we remove features / lockdown / DRM our software. I suppose it's easier to be optimistic when you're made 100k in a few days and the only opportunity cost was the realisation that a pirate is infact, a pirate though.

Personally, I wasn't interested in this game (played the demo), but I am interested in donating $2 to see that that the experience of using this model is furthered, so I'll definitely buy it, simply to show support. Much to the contradiction of popular gaming industry opinion, they haven't lost money by me not paying full price, they've gained $2 they would have never seen, otherwise.

If you scroll down to the bottom of this page and reload, you will just how quickly sales are occurring (and this represents only a fraction who take the survey, I believe). http://www.surveymonkey.com/sr.aspx?sm=MZpIFVRQn99e_2fJukiNVWR9Rm3Xg1MSQ85QQk09BNH3s_3d

The nookie.. obviously.

If this seriously upset you to the point where you're visualising screaming "FUCK OFF" at Activision people and vandalising their customers computers to err, teach Activision a lesson: Get Counselling. You need it.

The buttplug of the future.

Then expect it to get cancelled, pretty soon. ZING

I bought a Wii early. I bought 4 controllers. I have never experienced what you're talking about, either. Atleast, never any game other than the wii sports range. Even when I've managed to "scrounge" up three players, they've been non gamers and thus, no challenge - which for most of us would mean, no fun, either.

For me, what you're describing is a group of people akin to the dynamic potrayed in The Big Bang Theory. I'm sure it exists, but it surely is not in the mainstream and owing to the existence of the penis, extremely unlikely to last for very long, if infact you can score such a scenario.

(I mean, I almost went for a wank in the middle of this comment)

If they stop it's still an elephant in the room. Since this is never going to go away, I think I side with the idea of continual misuse of this term, thus encouraging a public view more akin to the boy who cried wolf. Once we get there, we can actually make the black hole that destroys earth, in peace.
