Obvious troll is obvious.

My wife and I are both in our 30s, and certainly do not have a celibate marriage. We have a pair of PS3's, and we spent last night playing Street Fighter 4. Usually she's on Xenosaga or a Final Fantasy game and I'm on an FPS or TPS of some sort.

Most of my friends are in their 30s. Only a few of them don't have consoles. With the exception of one girl who just turned 30 (and just got a PS3... maybe it's something about that magic 30), none of us use Wii's for anything other than entertaining small children. Don't misrepresent me as saying the Wii is garbage - I never said it doesn't do a specific job acceptably. But you can NOT make the ridiculous claim that anyone who's ever gotten laid prefers Wii-style games.

I would laugh my rear off if the police were to issue the following statement: "Guys, we only had hearsay about the OS. We couldn't get the roomie to tell us whether he ran Solaris x86, BSD, or Linux, ok? By the way, we read Slashdot too."

Actually, I would be very amused to watch MS try to justify shutting down a Pink Pistols chapter...

Microsoft's got lots of clubs, actually. Including an employee gun club, with a private discussion forum.

I'm extremely pro-gun, but I am kind of amused at the thought that yes, Microsoft IS forming a militia and DOES intend to rule the world. :)

That's ok, myself and the guys at #kplug-militia are gun-toting Linux users and we've probably got enough firepower to take 'em on...

My understanding is that folks use "spike" as a term for male genitalia. Ever wondered about "spiketv", TV for guys...?

Don't forget jackhammers outside due to road work, an unbalanced washer/dryer, heck SOMEONE ELSE'S unbalanced washer/dryer if you're in an apartment. For that matter, military helicopters and jets overhead (I live near Miramar) or even trains thundering by. For that matter, some floors are less sturdy than others... back in TN I remember my friend's apartment floors shaking when the lardos next door would go running down the hall. What's next? Will MS ask, "How come you didn't buy the Microsoft-designed shock absorber platform to keep it perfectly steady?" Small vibrations are to be EXPECTED - even some moderately large ones. Not to handle those is a design defect, and I really don't think there are too many folks who sit around arbitrarily relocating their X-Box and getting scratched discs. Most gamers are twitchy enough about their discs that they'd stop moving the stupid thing after the first time the system crashes during a move and they go, "GEE, I shouldn't do that anymore". Yet instead, even the folks who are cautious and NOT moving it are ending up with entire scratched-up collections.
