Solaris is my favorite, and a very, very close second is 2001.

The Pet Rock, Nickleback, Windows, and Michael Bay were also all successful, yet all still suck (Windows has gotten mildly better).

I remember my friend and I getting really high and loading the Simpsons mod. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life.

I'm really tired of these gamergate bullies threatening violence every time someone suggests that there are other markets and demographics for which games can be marketed.

Supply and demand. Hire people and give them a livable wage and you create a larger demand. Keep farming out labor as cheap as you can get it, and you reap what you sow. Kind of like what's happening now.

It's not hard, really. Just too bad the people who aren't in the position to make decisions are the only ones who get it.

Then why not just eliminate the poor, if they are so bad?
