We'll buy games - third-party, indie games from companies that find ways to make them playable on the consoles. Manufacturers will sue and someone like Penny Arcade will start a petition to raise awareness and protest the manufacturers. It'll go to court and with the deep pockets of the folks like Microsoft gamers will lose. Anonymous will step in after DHS shuts down megauploadindiegames.com. Then we'll see a Gamer Spring and warrants will be issued for Gabe and Tycho, who manufacturers will think are real people. Taxpayers will spend millions trying to hunt them down in Washington state via armed drones. And then zombies appear. I'm not sure how, but that's pretty much how these things always end. Damn zombies.

I was an editor for a (now-defunct) "Geek news" site and someone there mentioned doing it. I emailed the publishing company and passed along my resume. They asked if I was interested in writing a book and I said it was too much effort. They came back and asked if I was interested in the tech editing and I said sure.

No man is an island, but some of us are long peninsulas.
