True, I agree. And one result of the reduced cost of constituent labour is that hobbyists will have better quality available for their use. After all, if you get paid almost nothing, you may as well release shareware and -- if it's good -- become an overnight sensation, instead.

The wasted potential of a brilliant concept to have shades of grey in the black-and-white shallowness of SW with the negligible writing produced in the released K2 game.

It's an unfortunate circumstance, and you do have a point about mitigation, but to the dumb end users out here in gameplayerland, it doesn't matter where the ball is, except not back here in our court.

Isn't this mess a stream-of-consciousness narrative, without the burden of cubersome plots and (deep) characters? "

"Remember when I said I'd kill you last?" "Yeah! Yeah! You did say that!" "I LIED."

Thank you for making my eyes bleed for a second time.

He's just trying to track down one of the gamete doners from his conception.

I still remember the original Tab advert with the woman catching the frisbee on the beach. It is illegal to have sex under a vehicle in Bristol, UK.

1. Read back a few pages. 2. I suppose this theory conveniently doesn't include light, or at least the circumference of the sphere you are referring to is larger than 15 billion light years. 3. No, we might not know the correct answer, but we can eliminate completely incorrect and unfeasible ones. "

Go.

... And posting on this topic: "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." "Are we there yet?" "No." ... PS Thanks for the update.

Or ritual public executions of criminals (Roman colloseum, Great Britain 1950, USA today)?

Indeed. Economics suggests that supply and demand will deform the market like this: 1. Lots of artists and developers (and testers) working for less to get started. (Can anyone say "relocate to India, China or Romania"? India is producing something like 2000 English speaking IT graduates every week, or some ridiculous number.) 2. More and better content requires more of the above, with less overheads. The contract market has demonstrated a useful way for big multi-nationals to off-load career-linked employee capital investments as a smalled overall expense for more productive content. The "off-loaded" employees (contractors) are then responsible for superannuation, training, travel, dental, whatever ... the corporates don't even need to pay severance. Result: Bigger, better products. More, higher skilled workers getting paid less for more productive work practices and better output. Developers, artists, actors, testers, etc are "commodified" (I actually had a manager say this to me, in my role as a contractor, a while back) and therefore replacable cogs in the machinery. I.e they get screwed. But we get better games.

I care. "Well, whatdya think kid, a princess and a guy like me?" ...

(Shhhhh! Nobody mention the "Classic Coke" debacle.)

Nah, it'll be a Battle Ship, I expect (Destroyers aren't big enough to impress muftis, cruisers ain't got the libido, and Aircraft Carriers are just big runways: they don't look as impressive (though I'm sure they'll be there for back-up)). The only modern ship that's close to a dreadnaught is a Battleship ...

Not at all. But, listen to the album, first.

There is no need to contribute false information. I must be in a good mood, but those descriptions seemed to be dead on. (See what I did there?)

Hahahahahahahahahaha hahahahaha! Heheheheheheheeeeeeee hoooooooooohohohoho haaaaaaaa! Haaaaaaarrrrrrr har hooooo ho ho hee hee haaaaaa <snort>! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure whether to get the "One Last Time" or "Crossing Over Paperback + 2 Free pins". Let's see: One Last Time is truly a wondrous contribution to our understanding of spiritual mediumship and contact with deceased loved ones. John Edward affirms that love and life are indeed eternal! No doubt, John's gifts will continue to inspire and comfort many worldwide." - Judy Guggenheim, co-author of Hello From Heaven! "Mr. Edward methodically provides fact by fact proof of life after life . . . We should embrace John as someone from whom we can learn and take solace in the fact that we do not have all the answers." OR, TWO FREE PINS!?!?!?!?!?! (w00t) I just can't decide, I think I'll buy the whole catalogue and donate three times the value to his work of charity! And Sylvia is so caring, too: In Animals on the Other Side, Sylvia and her son, Chris, share comforting insight about animals in the afterlife and answer popular questions including: - Does my pet miss me? - Did he know I loved him? - Can she come back to visit me? - Do snakes and bugs live on the Other Side, too? (What about herpetologists? Do their pets go to heaven, too?)
