To help put it in perspective, I know you've said before that it's an Amendment, and so it can obviously be amended, but in the whole history of the US there's only ever been one amendment repealed, and that was the one banning alcohol (coincidentally also the only amendment to take away rights rather than grant them). As far as this incident yeah, it's pretty fucking ridiculous. I definitely think the parents should be charged with some form of neglect.

Yeah, I thought the meal generator was interesting but not terribly useful.

I played it with Splashtop from my desktop to my laptop, but never tried it with Android. Let me know how it works out.

The only effect the cover really has on me is that it makes the whole game look cheaper and so I'm inclined to pay less for it.

John Williams wrote the soundtrack to our childhood.

Damnit, Rockstar, what the hell?

Yeah, through bankruptcy they can be forced to sell off assets. That's a little different than a normal hostile takeover though.

Well, I feel stupid for buying it for $45 like a week ago.

To add to that, hostile takeovers are often portrayed in movies and TV and such as a big company forcing the owner/founder of a company out and taking it over. Like Thursday said though, no one's forcing the shareholders to sell their shares, so as long as that owner/founder owns a controlling share no one can make them sell it (I mean you could through threats and blackmail and stuff, but that actually is illegal). No one, no matter how rich, can do a hostile takeover of Valve because, also like Thursday said, Gabe owns it and he doesn't have to sell it unless he wants to.

Hostile takeovers are part of the system, by design. There are laws regulating the manner in which they can occur, but not to prevent them.

Another really good one, though it ended rather abruptly. Apparently there's another piece of DLC coming out that will finish Daud's story.

What I had read didn't say they were getting rid of it, just that they were toning down how much it actually sounds like GLaDOS. *Edit* - Is it weird that the thing that killed my immersion in that trailer was the giant robot swinging that cargo ship around? I was like "Man, that thing would break in half if you tried to lift it from one end like that."

Acting. It's certainly still a major consideration, but it's not a career-killer.

The only thing I can think of is that you want to keep stockholders happy because they elect the board of directors, who hires/fires executives and directs the company on the broad-scale. But yeah, I've always kind of wondered the same thing.

It will just have a small banner in the corner that says "Every time you play offline God kills a kitten" with a slideshow of adorable but sad-looking kittens.

Plus you can use the 20% off for a grand total of 60% off (it's 20% off the reduced price, not the full price).

Right, but maybe it just has to be connected at startup or something, who knows. I'm not defending it, just giving ideas of what could be less draconian than "constantly connected and if you drop for a millisecond you get kicked out of whatever you're doing."

Remember from that article posted earlier in the thread that said that they were hearing that what has been rumored as "always on" really doesn't mean it requires a constant connection, that it can tolerate dropped connections and such.

My cousin's been trying to get me back into Minecraft. I have so far avoided that trap. After finishing Bioshock Infinite I've just started The Knife of Dunwall.

Bioshock Infintie. It was great, easily the best of the series IMO. Now to go read through all those spoilers in the Bioshock thread, and all those articles I've thought sounded interesting for the last month.

Ah. Lol, that's pretty great.

I don't get it, with the banana thing. Why?

Gravity Rush bitches!

Yeah, that's not really a reason to use liters, they'd just sell them in quart and half-gallon bottles instead.
