Thats some kinky roleplay. This is pretty interesting. I wonder if this was to escape some policy or development method mandatory at EA. Maybe it's just to escape the risk of poorly selling games costing him his job. After all, he owns the place and EA gets to choose what it publishes. He...

While I acknowledge that Pre-launch piracy probably does affect sales, either through buggy alpha releases causing bad word-of-mouth, or people just plain 'forgetting' to buy the game when it comes out, DRM is not the solution to that. Every incident of Pre-launch piracy is an example of a leak...

I haven't even posted a comment in over a month, how did I get the "Long time Listener, First time Caller" badge? Err. Never mind. I just got the badge a few days ago, but it was for a letters to the editor from about a month ago.

I would have replied "Well, it must be nice to get paid for your hobbies."

I immediately hit my CD graveyard to try and find the game discs. All I have is disc 4. Shit.

You are right, you will never be 100% positive that they didn't fake the moon landing. They could just have spend years fabricating artificial rocks unlike anything on earth. They could have painstakingly created fake micrometeoroid impact craters on said rocks, using advanced techniques...

Ouch. Well written, sparse on the details, but I've always preferred imagination to a page of rock. Read every word, which is rare. It's also exactly how I picture the invention of strong AI. By a programmer getting caught up in a pet project.

Harvest Moon. Not a single one of my friends plays it. Not a single one has expressed interest in trying it once they have heard it described.

Hays. (I think it's already nonsense, but what the hey.)

Let's see... Anything Sonic after Genesis died out. Nuff said. Anything after Spyro the Dragon II. Solid platformer from when they were popular getting worse and worse with each game. I hate to see potential wasted.

Any chance we could get a total entry estimate? I want to know my odds, assuming all entries were equal. Then I want to calculate the odds assuming half the entries were crap, and the rest were equal.

Very romantic way to meet your husband. If you ignore the fact that it occurred in a text-based game of roleplaying, it has a bit of a Greek flavor to it. I'd put some florid description here, but I think I've lost enough man-cards today.

Probably vulgar, and interrupted. "Oh shi-" "Fu-" "Say that one more time, assh-" etc. I don't see myself dying in bed.

Not saying mine yet. When I submitted it, it was original. If I post about it, some yahoo might see it and scoop it for a blog title.

I wish you had mentioned some of the issues surrounding versus mode. The AI director is unpredictable, while one team gets a swarm halfway through the level, another could get it right at the beginning. While one team can get a tank in a strategically advantageous position, another can get...
