Why do people hate this guy? I mean, really? What impact does he have on your daily life? None, I'm willing to bet. He's a guy who looks at the numbers, follows trends, and makes predictions about the business primarily for shareholders, not a bunch of nerds who sit around posting on video...

Citizen Kane

I've played this game through to the end twice, once on the PC and once on the Xbox. The first time through, I didn't bother collecting everything and had a great time. The second time, I collected everything and while it wasn't necessary, it gave me that extra bit of challenge to actually...

What about the new video cards that will take up every remaining inch of air-flow space in your ATX case for their cooling systems that require 1 kilowatt PSUs to run in SLI/Crossfire? Oh, and don't forget to buy those stand-alone physics processors this year so you can watch even more bodies...

Here's what irks me about this "n Billion Burgers Served" kind of news about WoW subscribers: they must be including dormant accounts in that total. What I really would like to know is the number of *active* subscribers currently playing, not how many people have ever played.

But will they be able to throw the games over the fence? :(

To me, this is where games stop being an enjoyable hobby and become a competition, a meta-game if you will, for that meaningless place of gamer prowess at the top of the heap. Despite the inherent competition involved in games, I'm not interested in being the best. All I want is to have a good...

This totally reminds me of those keychains that would spout foul-mouthed phrases at the push of a button. My friends and I used to think they were pretty funny back in high school. You know, when dinosaurs roamed the earth. Anyway, I am completely ready for any technology that relieves me...

Tom, absolutely no apologies are necessary for anything. As for your afterthought, no discussion ends well that starts with "Well, I'm a and I think...". That's browbeating, or "Bible-bashing" in the context of Christianity, and I don't like it any more than anyone else.

I know. I was kidding back. :D I also liked the Wii controller images. I guess I would be, but I'd rather not attend the party!

Heh. That would be me, I guess, since I already posted! Honestly, there's so many points that have been touched upon both in and out of the article that it would take me way too long to offer a comment on all of them. So, I'll do my best to be concise. First, the article references...

You make a good point, but I'm not entirely convinced. Professions are closely tied to socio-economic status, too, which probably complicates the argument past its talking point status. Is there a sociologist in the house? Member of the US census bureau, perhaps? :)

I think it has less to do with programmers specifically and more to do with human nature. I don't think it matters if you're a programmer, a physicist, a doctor, a musician, a secertary, or a mini-mart clerk: faith is a deceptively difficult thing to understand. Plus, I think there is a common...

Andraste, didn't you see the ';)'? ;) laf! Could I borrow your towel for a sec? My car just hit a water buffalo. Seriously though, I've always operated under the assumption that mostly caucasian men are interested in items such as those mentioned in the article. The interviewees...

Clever. ;)
