    .. I once saw a wealthy game-company exec (nameless) wet his pants, urologically crippling-like, over the fact that one player/household had played his game straight, multiplayer on the newly installed net-hub, for over 72 hours.

    That was when I decided I needed to get the fuck out, and stay the fuck out, of the gaming industry.

    Video Games really are mind programming, folks. Think about it.
