Heh. People who are blinded by their own opinions claiming that someone else is blinded by their own opinions? The irony, it screams. I don't blame Bob for kicking the anthill, largely because it's growing and spraying righteous indignation all over everything. "Nobody understands us...

Because the EU is updating its taxation laws on digital purchases, Steven. As of January 1, purchases are taxed based on the location of the purchaser, not the seller. That means that if someone buys from a seller not in their own country, it's not just a currency exchange that has to take...

An epic sci-fi... Hey, EA! I think the folks over at Threshold stole your Mass Effect script!

Okay, Ambient, I have to state your logic is flawed. Consider the following: Company X is planning to sell a product. The product is an expensive one and one that the company expects it will have to sell upgrades to later on, so it offers consumers a deal: Invest in the product early and...

How does a company worried about being reduced to insignificance make itself seem to be relevant? Why, have it release deliberately inflammatory statements about its customers, of course. Lump this one with all the others who say "Innovation? Why do we need that? The way we've always done...

Cat. Dogs, while loyal and fun, do not come close to the unbelievable determination of cat. The determination that leads a cat to sit on your chest and meow, then bat you around the head until you understand the obvious message: The sun has risen! Wake up and break my fast, human!

Pleasedontsuckpleasedontsuckpleasedontsuckpleasedontsuck... I really want to like this, even as my sense of creeping doom warns me that kickstarted games seldom deliver. To hell with it. Fifteen bucks for a chance at something wonderful. It's worth it. That being...

That stumped me too after I read about the deal. Apparently Microsoft has gotten tired of having ten billion bucks burning a hole in its pocket and bought Nokia, patents and all, for $7.2 billion cash. Now with the leftover money, Mojang slips into Microsoft's stable. Question: What would...

Subtitles? Oh come on, the way these folks were telegraphing their emotions, you'd need to be blind not to know the dialogue. That said, I must find this insanity and add it to the madness in my skull. Bob, thank you for sharing this with everyone at a time when we all need a really good laugh.

Oh gods. How about Nidhogg? Best of five?

Heh. If you're going to fail, why not fail with style? Or a complete lack of taste? Or by proving that yes, there are things that were created a few decades ahead of the technology that might've made them kinda neat?

HOW many millions? Bugger me. Internet! Find me information on Japan's music industry! Article from the Independent in the UK on the phenomenon, master. [http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/features/why-has-japans-cd-market-suddenly-gone-into-decline-9213133.html]...

I...I...ayayayayay. There is some silliness that must be encouraged whenever possible and an episode about Howard the Duck movie, especially after so much history on the character (kudos to you, Bob, for finding it all), fits that to a T. Part of my brain blocked out my memories the movie...

Ho hum. Japan, welcome to where America was ten years ago. If you look at a few newspapers, you'll be able to see where the RIAA and the MPAA made a pig's breakfast of their content. Oh, wait. Right. To do that you'd have to have access to physical copies because news sites delete stale...

Bravo. You are the first person who caught this and for that, you deserve a cookie. Folks, Frank Gibeau is the head of the mobile gaming division of EA and the head of Origin. Think about that for a minute. He got those posts [a...
