Actually a Ford GT is a halo car that's used to get people into the Ford dealership. It's well known that they won't buy a Ford GT, and that a Ford GT won't turn a profit, but the hope is they'll walk in, see how cool Ford is, and walk out with a new Ford F-150.
Not even close. Did you ever read about the GT or the interviews with Colletti about the GT? The GT was meant to be an all American supercar killer without the supercar price tag. It was to re-birth what the original GT was, America's answer to European engineering.
Nobody went in to a Ford dealer looking for a GT and said "Well, golly, I guess I should buy a totally different type of vehicle instead. I wanted a sports car but, fuck it, I'm gonna buy something I can haul dirt in."
I might be able to stretch credulity far enough to see a Lightning, since that was also an SVT product, but a standard F-150? Might as well say tractor, lawn mower or unicycle.
As for Syndicate being a shooter...I am disappointed and I will probably neither purchase nor play it. I am tired of FPSes and I realize that that is going to be the majority of the titles shoveled out the door until it runs its course. Much like RPGs in the late 80s to mid 90s. They, too, were a dime a dozen.
I miss games like Homeworld, Nexus: TJI and the like but I also realize that I am old and those games are now few and far between. |

I won't buy an FPS that does not allow me to kill every man, woman and child I see.
I admit I get the giggles when I wing little Timmy and I watch him crawl down an alley, crying for his Mommy.
Then, if I am patient, Mommy shows up and then POP POP, two for one special! |

Random comments and ad hominem attack
Refinements really have nothing to do with the point that, unlike Jobs, Ford founded an entire industry and revolutionized other industries with his designs. Assembly line driven mass production, for example.
I can't be bitter about something I am not personally involved with. Jobs is a salesman and that's that. The way he pushes sales is very much akin to used car salesmen and snake oil salesmen. Just as Ballmer is a belligerent, sweaty, loud bully. Ever wonder why Sinofsky is now the public face of Windows development?
I'm sorry if you think I somehow shat in your Apple flavored kool-aid. |

Bullshit. That easily belongs to Robert Noyce or, Hell, most of that team from Fairchild Semiconductor.
Henry Ford actually designed, built and mss produced something, personally, and was an engineer his entire life. Steve Jobs soldered a couple of components on a bread board in comparison.
Steve Jobs is a slick used-car and snake oil salesman. He's good at selling the idea that you "need" iDevice but he didn't found an entire industry. While Apple may have come out on top of the sales, every thing they ever produced was merely a refinement of some other tech that came before. |

| This is a horrible, horrible game that is terribly broken. The support for it is promised but has yet to materialize. Stay way. |

I'm fine with this.
I used to hate Steam with a passion as I was under the false impression that it was solely a DRM schema invented to do nothing but track everything I did with my games.
Steam does track what I do with my games and it is a DRM schema. However, it also allows me to install my games on any machine I want so long as that machine has an active internet connection. It offers me great deals on games that I wanted to buy anyway and I no longer have to carry discs back and forth between work and home to play whatever my current interest is.
I look at Steam, now, like I look at my email. I log in once and I get to what I want to do. It's painless and takes maybe a second or four to login. |

I played the demo and while I appreciated the Star Control feel to it, it still has that weird Eastern European feel to it, especially in the dialogue. It doesn't quite click.
Also, way too many menus and submenus. I should be able to do almost everything from the main game interface. |

[Shrugs] I enjoy smoking but I do not smoke the chemical laden crap that gets shoved at you from Philip Morris or RJ Reynolds.
Based upon current scientific theory, there about a thousand ways that are guaranteed to give me cancer. C'est la vie. I feel one should thoroughly enjoy one's life instead of nattering endlessly about its longevity. There's no point in living to 80 if you haven't enjoyed 75 of those years or you've lived under the repressive delusion of monastic moderation. |
