This situation is founded upon the theory that there may be a Metro app worth opening. From my own brief experiences with Windows 8, they were all focused around getting as far out of Metroland as possible.
The first one wasn't necessarily bad either. It was very limited, and repetitive, but compared with buying Remember Me for $60 and losing any reason to ever touch it again after beating it in about 5 hours, well, Payday 1 was okay for the $15 I spent on it.
It probably helps that I have a full group of people I routinely play both games with. I probably wouldn't have played the first one as much as I did if it weren't for that. Playing a game like that solo or with random assholes on the internet would probably result in me losing interest much faster.
Well, I'm pretty bitter, but I think you misinterpreted me. I wasn't reveling in my friends wasting their time and money on a game that sucked. That'd just make me a TOTAL asshole. What I meant was that I was happy I didn't miss out on a good game because I vengefully wrote off an entire developer for want of one bad game.
I swore Blizzard off after the first D3, and then was pleasantly surprised when no one I knew liked Heart of the Swarm. I will pass on this one as well.
Something interesting I noticed a few weeks ago is that the only game I've enjoyed that I paid more than $20 for in as long as I can remember is Payday 2.
It's probably for the same reason that every time someone makes Jello shots, they're not making gelatin shots. Or needing some Tums, or running out of Kleenex.
The moment where he assumes people want whatever sophistry he's peddling in his emails and then attributes it to failures of the "free market" when all major providers mark it as spam was especially precious.
More likely, he had people "opt-in", not realizing what they were getting, and then read a couple of them and hit "mark as spam" rather than bother to look for his unsubscribe link.
Your situation doesn't account for people to live like normal human beings. Families, and shit, holmes. Alternatively, I suppose we could all just stop reproducing. That would solve a lot of problems, all things considered.
Also, the occupy movement planted themselves there. They weren't FROM there. They went to the upscale area to be a nuisance TO the people who were able to live there.
Also, can you also explain how you pay $300/month by performing $50 tasks that rarely occur? What's your endgame? What do you do if you hurt yourself? What do you do when ACA takes over? Have you thought about tomorrow?
Generally, people have always been good enough to sort out what to do if I'm out for a while to get by until I get back.
In addition to that, I have a binder melodramatically labelled "In Case Brad Gets Hit By a Bus" that I have told my immediate management and a few of my peers about. It's hardly complete, but it's the best effort I've had the time to produce in case the inevitable comes sooner than I think, including backup schemes, recovery processes, and root passwords. I'm not sure I could document my job well enough for anyone to take over if anything went to hell, but I've made sure enough people know what to do that no major fuckups should happen... hopefully.
Whoops. This is the talent vs skill discussion. I could agree to that. English, language really, is not exactly a trade; you're either good at it or not.

Also, offer made for 10.00 USD.
I.. what? What, is Slashdot the new weekly world news?
Ugh.

I volunteer. I'll take his place.

I think I'm officially off the Triple-As.
It's almost funnier if you read his comment in as if he's assuming you DO live in the US.
You can't stop the signal, Mal.
Hey, I made it through the title of the summary and the last sentence! I thought that was considered overachieving for Slashdot. :-)
like the US or the UK, just as a point of comparison.

Been working for me so far.

Damnit Ethanol-fueled, you're sober. Get off the Internet and go buy a bottle of whisky before you embarrass yourself!

I just mentally changed all the words in your post to the equivalent relevant to the music industry.
:(
I wonder what would happen if someone made a game where they used unlicensed likenesses of bands, without using their actual music.
This is probably off topic.
You guys are adorable. Now go back to reddit.
I completely agree. I'm just arguing that GP is an edge case, and cannot represent normal human lifestyles.

Wow. I thought I was planning for contingencies. Well done!

In its own way, writing documents well takes skill too.
I don't generally write documentation, but I've seen the difference and it can be painful.
AC, I'd like to buy your rock.
