Well Languish crashes and we lose most of the post regularly enough.:D

Hmm, maybe Dorsey and Hortlund have been responsible for those ?

"I think it's weird that I'm being targeted for playing online games," said Ms Lachowicz in a statement. "Apparently I'm in good company since there are 183 million other Americans who also enjoy online games.
LOL what?
Where did she get that from? That's ridiculous.
Is she counting everyone who has ever clicked on a flash game? As even then that seems large.

Do you know what the population of the US is? Do you know how many of those are on facebook?
Yes. No.
Half of the populatoin of the US are 'gamers'? No way.
Even half regularly play games on the internet is too much.
Really seems to be a case of anyone who has ever tried it.

 :lol:

I also like how they claim DPS stands for "deaths per second."
My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.

I love how they added two swords there anyway. :D

This just proves that people aged 55+ need to have their voting rights taken from them - these people just do not get the modern information age.

When did dps become deaths per second?  :huh:

Let's be fair.  People who play MMORPGs are bad people, exactly the sort that we don't want having any say whatsoever in our countries.

I just couldn't get into it.  If I play a PC game, I want to be the star.  Not some get ganked by some 13 year old who eats only pixie sticks.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Those pixie-eating 13 year olds give a more interesting challenge than AI.

The AI doesn't shriek into my headphones either.  I stopped playing online shooters right about the time when headphone mics became popular.
