Maybe they rolled out this new logo because the old Windows logo had rectangles with curved sides in it. And curved sides are just rounded corners for the straight parts!
Wait until these guys see a Counter-Strike match O_O

Online cult interested in mass murder, scatological necrophilia detained by FBI
The cult that thrived on ultra-violence was composed largely of teenage boys who expressed highly racist and homophobic views - strangely, also while performing homosexual virtual sex acts on the corpses of their online avatars, who they sacrificed to their god known as "The Pwnz0r" over and over again. The followers also believed they could wield magical powers, such as the ability to move at superhuman speed with the use of ceremonial blades...
Gaming has been commercialized to death, like Hollywood (and again, gaming in the '80s) it's going to take a major industry crash and rebirth to purge all the shit.
I once spent $2500 to completely overhaul my gaming PC into a near-top-of-the-line system complete with SLI video cards, RAID0 array and an excessive amount of RAM. It let me run any damn thing I pleased maxed out for the next 2-3 years. I need to upgrade the video now (one of the cards failed last month).
Game development is a horrible abusive career to go into anyways (unless you work for a startup anyways). Good thing I stayed away from it, I have an uncle who worked like a fiend on some legendarily awesome games, had a nice position at LucasArts, but now he's in at least as shitty of a situation as I am. Lot of good that did him.
Then maybe it's time for gaming to go the way of desktop software, for FOSS to shine and commercial apps to stagnate in their boring little locked-in world full of users with more money than sense.
The only advantage commercial games have is that they have more money to hire teams of artists. FOSS games won't be as shiny, it's a thing we'll have to just get over.
There was an Aussie or Kiwi guy working on something similar that had a better layout - it was like a motorcycle with the ducted fans at seat level. This should be more stable than standing completely above the fans.

Wow, oh wow! Whoa! A square rainbow! WHAT DOES IT MEAN!?!? T_T

Probably had to eat with only one hand too.
Next best thing to putting Clippy in there, I guess.

Anyone who isn't assuming such things are happening on Facebook is an idiot.
Set up another for Alt and then do some Walter Rorhl-level footwork on them :D
I think we need a name for when it's hard to tell meta-sarcasm from disagreement.
Man I thought I was well clear of the Poe zone...
Since this is the sole and most serious problem associated with global warming, let's continue to release lots and lots of greenhouse gases.
Funny enough NFS:S2U is only playable with a wheel thanks to a mod (that reduces the steering input lag).
Still with in-game advertising, DRM and online-only multiplayer, I wouldn't have paid for it.
Like!
Funny, that's about the same time I stopped buying consoles and switched entirely to PC gaming (and emulators).

LOLOLOL your shitty gaming-over-VNC service doesn't hold a candle to real PC gaming.

I used to buy tons of games until the DRM got crazy in the early 2000s. Now I only pay for DRM-free games.
I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he was an executive at Ubisoft or EA...or even John Romero himself.
Can you get Gas Guzzlers DRM-free and does it have LAN play? Maybe it could fill the Vigilante 8/Interstate '76-shaped hole in my life.
Hey let him have fun with his hypothetical dollars, he's gonna get some hypothetical hookers and hypothetical blow.

If it really used ionic thrust as it claimed it would be an extremely dangerous device worthy of high voltage signs and a tall fence.
Huh you know I bought that used when I was like 12 and never played it? Just remembered...
