If you look at any of those studies, they always involve mobile gaming, FB games, and Pop Cap games. Hardly the "core gamer" section that makes majority of the money.

McAffe is back in the US. Has been for awhile.

Didn't Justin Timberlake buy MySpace?

It's from taxes. Same shit happens with wireless bills.

The for you not being able to return it's by design. It's so you can't buy something, get the rebate and return it.

They did, and it failed. Tribes: Ascend.

And yet Tera would disagree with you about F2P models. Almost everything is cosmetic, and as for the P2W item that people birch about (PP Bolster for crafting) is a waste. EME let's you have 10 accounts per IP. All the top tier end game gear requires 1 or two types non tradeable, non bankable items to craft. Sure, I've made enough gold to buy the other mats 10 times over, but i still have to grind line everyone else. Oh yeah, and DotA 2 and LoL have some words to say about F2P being dead.

Every bar serves soda. Get a Coke or a glass of water, shoot some pool and have a good time. There are days i go out with my co-workers to the bar and not drink for various reasons (mostly school). I'm failing to see your point here.

Well unless you live with shitty roommates.

I'm 49.7Gb so far this month and no throttling. It really is unlimited.

Im going to have to agree. I had my car break down on me and I had to travel from the San Fernando Valley into Downtown LA 3 times per week. At first, I thought it was going to be a pain... until I realized that spending $5 on a day pass (I think month passes were $45) and taking the 412 Commuter Express was an option. Not only was I saving money (my old car was a 280Z turbo, got 18MPG if I was lucky), but also the headache of driving into town every day. I spent most of my trip there doing school work on my laptop.

I've since moved to a part of California where public transportation is just terrible (Ventura County), so I need to have my own car to even think about getting to work in under 2 hours for a 25 mile trip.

You know, you were doing great until the strawman argument at the end.

There is a difference between someone who DJs and someone who does a Live PA. Deadmau5 does Live PAs, and does not DJ.

Basically every women in a JRPG disagrees with you.

So then we should only allow games like the Smurfs from Colecovision because that is the only game where nobody gets injured and lacks any kind of moral choice? You're really stretching for a point here.
