Not one game as such. But Mame has plenty of good games that have shared screen experiences. I am looking at setting up a HTPC and Mame is on the must have list.

I put my initials PMS (Paul Michael Smith) on all my code. I think it would be rather amusing to hear someone cursing that.
Apple Reverses iPad "No Cash Purchase" Policy 377
ZipK writes "After a few days of bad publicity, Apple has reversed its no cash purchase policy, explaining that the policy was originally implemented to limit the number of iPads an individual could buy during the introductory period of short supply. Now that supply has caught up with demand — and the story has hit front pages and gained national attention — Apple has reversed its policy, and taken the opportunity to put a bow on the story by giving the formerly scorned Diane Campbell a free iPad."

Perhaps people like to use their other hand. You could use the phone, drink coffee or even masturbate. I don't like to be treated as if I am wearing a mitten on my right hand.
Personally I like having more buttons plus a scroll wheel. I used to play FPS games regularly and would make use of 4 buttons and a scroll wheel.

I don't really understand your apparent concern for money at 125K. If you have good job security and enjoy your job. I would think most people would be extremely happy with that salary in any metro area of the states.
Then again perhaps you are just attempting to communicate that cap to others who may be looking at programming as a get super rich opportunity
