This is a good point and has nothing to do with the fact I wrote a book about AI getting self-aware and trying to talk you out of killing them... If a game has some elements where you can choose to kill or capture (Red Dead), but other bosses or enemy you can ONLY kill, it's annoying. All or...

I can never respect a company whose entire marketing campaign for their macbook was "The other guy sucks." "The other guy gets viruses." "The other guy is a fat dweeb and I'm a pretty boy." All that time, did Gates strike back and say "you can't actually do s... on a mac?" not really. At the...

When the PS3 came it it was a piece of shit because there were no games. They gave up their market domination to Microsoft and then Nintendo. My impression is they don't have a clue what they're doing. So now they can make excuses that it wasn't price. No, it wasn't, it was releasing a...

I build a site, I charge them money, I play some games, I walk out my downstairs rec room, across the street, through a short path in the trees, less than a minute, and surf my own break. It doesn't get more simple than that. 1s, 0s, and tide charts.
