I did not say they have, I said they will. For some reason it's always one or the other when they have to blame someone for an "underperforming" game.

This is the sort of thing the industry will inevitably blame on piracy or used game sales. Clearly if everyone wasn't out to get them, their sales figures would have met expectations and they would have received ROI on their increasingly bloating budgets, right? For some reason the amount of...

Assorted Atari and Intellivision games. I've never quite taken the time to discover if any of them I own are particularly rare or older than the others, but both units still work and I return to them for my nostalgia fix once in a while.

That "99 Luftballoons" song.

I started smoking for absolutely no reason when I was 16, then quit cold turkey six years later over Christmas Break 2007, when a price hike hit tobacco in the United States (I could get two packs of Marlboro Reds for $6.50 USD then, and I can't even get one pack for that price now). As an...

Birthplace of the Republican Party in the United States.

I used to smoke but quit winter of 2008 just days before the United States tax hike on tobacco products. It simply became too expensive to continue, not to mention that cigarette smoking is entirely for the nicotene fix and not for the act of smoking. People equate being able to relax (and...

tl;dr is one I wish people would stop spouting altogether. It's not my problem that everyone suffers from ADHD and can't read anything longer than a standard Twitter message.
