I did always wonder where these "leaks" came from. And also where all my socks went.

 

[Something Amyss]

Last time, it was a totally awesome game concept. This week, it's a totally believable look into anonymous sources the gaming business.

I'm not sure if you guys are joking anymore!

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Socks never lie.

This is truth and fact and truth.

 

[The Artificially Prolonged]

Socks never lie.

This is truth and fact and truth.

I wouldn't be so sure. I tend to find a few holes in their stories.

Meanwhile, at Microsoft...

"Sir. We have a problem."
"What is it?"
"It's this comic strip, sir. They know about the Dart Freeloader initiative."
"That bastard! He squealed on us! If only we had been able to use the brainial wave scrambler on him before he escaped..."
"Are you referring to..."
"Yes. Mr. Socks."
...
"Put the word out. I'll pay handsomely to the person who brings Socks in. Dead or alive."

Are you saying the great and glorious news writers engage in sock puppetry? Anyone seen Greg Tito in the flesh and was he wearing 2 socks?

 

[Lim3]

Stop giving Microsoft ideas...

Is that Deepthroat's long lost sock-son?

I'm not sure if this is supposed to be something humorous or a scathing commentary on video game
journalism. . . . .

I guess that the answer is "yes", even if yours isn't a question. ;p

 

[AbstractStream]

Maybe you're just knit-picking now.

 

[The Hungry Samurai]

Never trust a journalist with athletes ear.

"Hay guyz, I live in Japan!"

Yeah that pretty much somes up a good chunk of their stories.

I wanted to groan because of the pun. But I ended up laughing anyway

Who's the fat guy?

Anyway I'm glad you've gone back to comedy.

That's why us American's have two terms for this kind of thing:

An anonymous source: We're making this up.

A source who wishes to remain anonymous: We may actually have a source on this one. But we're still probably making this up.

Captcha: the slogan "no time to waste" is associated with which car?

I have no goddamn clue. Seriously. Captcha questions are supposed to be things like, "What color's the sky" or "Is the Sun yellow," stuff that everybody actually knows, not this marketing crap that you'll only know if you pay attention to marketing.

And, seriously, I realize this is supposed to advertise the car to me, but I'm going to get it wrong, and have no idea which car was even being advertised at me. This is a total failure of both spambot testing and advertisement.

Edit: Picked one at random, happened to be it. Didn't pay enough attention to see which one it was.
