He's making an obvious reference to the hit Sci-fi/Horror film "Alien," in which the monsters' larval forms have come to be colloquially called "face huggers" in pop culture, though I'm not sure that term was ever actually used in the movie. If you watch relevant clips from the movie, or indeed any of its sequels, I'm sure the reference will become obvious. It's an astute observation, and bears serious consideration as plausible, however I'm fairly sure the actual origin of this company name comes from auto-translating "Fuck Face" back and forth between Russian and English through a few permutations.

...aaaand predictably modded down again for telling the truth as usual by the same.

What are the chances that one too many of these monsters merge together and just starts gobbling up the entire rest of the universe at an exponentially increasing rate? Has anyone done the math on that yet? Exciting times, indeed.

I'm pretty sure I predicted this about 5 years ago and was modded down for it.

No, you're basing this on suppositions at best. Visit the truck yards in downtown LA once - there's definitely tire particulate coating the ground there, and it's large enough to be visible, and definitely not airborne.

Tell the Russians your astroturf is getting stale as fuck and you need some new lines. This is the stupidest and most easily disproven strawman argument ever. Public chargers are common enough in the urban sprawl that when you have to charge your car for a half hour or so every other week for your (gasp!) 7-mile commute you won't have any problems doing it, even if there's no way to [charge it overnight all night every night] as you profess to obsessively think would ever be even remotely necessary in any un-contrived situation, and at about half the cost of the equivalent miles in gasoline unsubsudized, good luck making the math part of that argument work too. Giving you the absolute greatest benefit of the doubt for all this stupid bullshit, I have to assume you just love huffing gasoline and you love smelling like it too, and it has damaged your judgement... because it couldn't be the Russians paying you for this lie on a loop, could it? Could it??

I've come to realize that whenever you see stuff like this going on, usually what's going on behind the scenes is there's an internal ideological struggle between one management group that's just trying to maximize profits through industry-tested methods and another that's trying to force the timeline to adhere to some childishly insane satanic prophecy.

JavaScript was a mistake.

Just posting to undo accidental moderation.

Just wait until they actually do the math and find out their giant word-salad generator is actually something like 1000% the cost of the equivalent amount of college interns.

Exactly. Now that this has been widely publicized, it will continue to work for another 2-3 months, tops, and then the bot swarm managers will simply escalate.

I think it will be more along the lines of Bubblegum Crisis.

Oh, yea, and that reminds me: fuck you for making me agree with him.

Bro, you just posted 9 times to this article. If astroturfing caused cancer you'd have given it to all of us by now.

Not sure if it counts because the wifi is only used for peer-to-peer connections with other Nintendos or Nintendo servers. There's no stock web browser or generic media players or such in the store and no way to connect to unlicensed 3rd-party applications or make generic ad-hoc data transfers of any sort, so it might be arguably still a closed ecosystem.
