Yeah.. I'm sitting on the floor of my living room with my computer open, and my laptop on top (Spring cleaning, time to get out the dust) taking a break from what I was doing, and reading this all has made me want to put my hard drives in my subwoofer for an hour or two.
OSI was formally dissolved soon after Richard Garriott left EA/OSI, which is when it was a sudden revelation to some that EA had been in charge the whole time.
I can't listen to a good 2-300 songs (The extent of my collection in '00) without being flooded with memories from 'back in the day' in Ultima Online. Kind of makes me wish I could take a trip back in time and visit with some of my old friends again..
$20? I don't buy a movie for over $15 at WalMart, on release day. Maybe I go the $20 route if it's a 2-pack with another movie, or like the Simpsons movie with a t-shirt, but if it starts at $20, no thanks, I'll wait a few months and get it for $13.44 on the "bargain rack"
Assuming a "typical" household with married couple and two kids, let's say the wife is a homemaker and doesn't get out much. She could very well just have the TV on for something to listen to while she goes about her hobbies all day, that's eight to ten hours alone. The kids get home from school and want to watch their after school shows (I'd give an example, but I haven't watched TV in years), say another two hours there, then after dinner everyone sits and watches sitcoms, or someone plays a game, or whatever else, with four people it's conceivable that one of the four will want to spend a few hours watching something, whether it's a movie on, or their favorite show, etc. Or the very possible "We leave the TV on for the dog/cat/parrot/other pet so it doesn't get lonely" type thought process.
In conclusion, 16 hours a day with more than just one person in the house isn't that ridiculous.
My point is gun culture isn't the issue, but there IS something related to it that ISN'T it that IS a problem. But then, I just realized he mentioned "lack of universal healthcare" and I regret saying anything anyhow, because he's "one of those people" and reason doesn't work with them.
"Gun culture" isn't a problem. Crazy people buying guns via non-legal channels and going on a rampage is a problem. Please don't confuse these two in the future.

Your analogy is flawed, as the retail outlet paid for the item, and is reselling it to you.
Yes, a Guy Fawkes mask.

That shit is never coming out, admit it.
You realize of course that EA has owned Origin Systems since 1992, and has been running Ultima Online since 1997, right? ...right?
EA is the grandfather of the MMO.
This can't happen. EA has fucked over too many franchises already.
I'm pretty sub-par at both. Does that fit with your findings? :P
Silly, just put the PS3 on TOP. Problem solved.
Scientologist spotted.
Comcast can pay officials way more than we can. "We" being people who can tell the difference, and care.
I'll even take back one of those fuck yous, and stop listening to that "Fuck the FCC" song quite as often...
Bingo. They don't want the guys who want 95-120k a year, they want to guys who'll be happy with 25-35k a year and work 12 hour days.

What, you mean women don't love that sort of thing?!
(No, I wasn't even taking housework into the equation, actually. I was thinking of everything else.)
Water is wet and the sky is blue.
Honestly, who is this "news" to/for?

Uh... We have nine digits, too, actually.
Ubuntu for me. Added a good half hour to battery life, to boot.
I have a cheap Acer WalMart special that has never given me a second of grief, and I've had it over a year now.

It's sitting right here, I use it every time I play a flight sim.
