Hopefully he’s got his barrel ready.

Hats?

Too bad it didn’t happen closer to release. There’s no way in hell that I’m giving money to Microsoft.

Pellaeon started as Rukh brushed silently past him; he hadn’t realized the Noghri had followed them down. Thrawn waited until Rukh was standing at his side, then turned back to Colclazure. “Do you know the difference between an error and a mistake, Ensign?”

The entire bridge had gone deathly still. Colclazure swallowed again, his face starting to go pale. “No, sir.”

“Anyone can make an error, Ensign. But that error doesn’t become a mistake until you refuse to correct it.” He raised a finger-

And, almost lazily, pointed.

Pellaeon never even saw Rukh move. Pieterson certainly never had time to scream.

Ever heard of SpaceWar? Hunt the Wumpus? Tennis for Two? Pong didn’t introduce violence to the world.

Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight car.

So my luggage is still safe.

I think they called it The Legend of Korra.

Just take a common word and remove a vowel or two. That’s still hip, right?

Yes. Twenty years ago. Now take a look at what Nintendo and Microsoft have been doing just within the past couple of years (as well as what they were doing twenty years ago and beyond, since they both have long track records of shitty behaviour.)

Yes, Sony is not a good company, but we’re comparing them to Nintendo and Microsoft here.

All game console companies famously keep trying to fuck everyone else over. Sony actually comes off fairly well compared to Nintendo and Microsoft.

Exactly. Never do anything until you can do everything all at once. If you can’t wave a magic wand and solve all problems everywhere, it’s best to just keep the status quo.

Why would a programmer own a printer? I almost never print anything and when I need to I just go to a library.

Except if the game is designed to be multiplayer-only, but even then we should be able to set up our own servers. If the original Half Life could do it in 1998 then why can’t we do it now?

Star Trek (at least from TNG onwards) is a dystopia who’s inhabitants have convinced themselves is a utopia.

Never even qualified for SOLDIER.

Especially if they’re .zip files full of military secrets.

We got Gimp 3 before The Winds of Winter.
