News Comments > Dawn of War II: Retribution DLC Plans

I thought retribution WAS a DLC. DLCs of DLCs makes my brain hurt. And my wallet bleed, but I guess that's nothing new.

News Comments > Microsoft Planning Cloud Gaming?

I think you all miss the obvious point. Controllers. Microsoft wants to get back into the game controller market. How? By selling a "new" version of the Xbox controller that is optimized for your PC. This version will include a second "XBOX" button that is also a windows key.

@ $50 a pop it will generate a whole new revenue stream of people who don't have a clue.

Why? Because of their unending desire to control you.

I've also found myself recently starting TNG from the first episode. My solution to the quality has been to just listen to it and treat it like the bad radio drama it more closely resembles.

I think he is sorta missing a key step... ride the wave of past success while abusing customers and employees, gobble up smaller companies and ride off their success and then keep the investors happy by being only one of the two major groups selling video games until you can find a way to screw them by selling the company at a loss.

So the cycle is abuse customers, abuse employees, buy small company and abuse their former customers followed by abusing their employees, repeat until you can no longer hide the fiscal carnage, then abuse the investor followed by selling the primary company for a fraction of its value (with the majority of the sale going to the top three executives).

In an ideal world the investor realizes he is out of bubble gum and sates self by engaging in gratuitous ass-kickage.

Obviously for a company as bloated as EA this would be a decade long process +/- 15 years (a high enough error of margin can make 100% of statistics 50% accurate +/- 200% of the time).

1. Where's your uranium? Dec 1, 2007, 19:51 ediede
 
How do you go from uranium ore to anal douches...? Which is what people who buy uranium ore also purchase. Are they trying to irradiate their colons? Creepy

Maybe it is a metaphor for life. Life doesn't necesarily come to a nice neat conlcusion with everything wrapped up in a nice little bow; sometimes life slowly fades away, other times it hits a brick wall and just ends.

This is gonna sound kind of anal, but what can I say, I'm a chemist (not that chemists like anal, I mean some might, but most probably not), but anywho, booze is not methyl alcohol. You can drink it, but you'll probably go blind in fairly short order. Booze is ethyl alcohol (ethanol) which messes with the liver (NEED MORE COFFEE) as well as a few other organs... What can I say, I'm a loser.
