I don't care if they get to buy Fantasy Island out of the settlement money, if a law firm is able, via class action or any other means, to make it illegal for a company to screw with my console and remove functionality from it simply because it was modded (i.e. not because I was cheating, pirating, or because my mod 'broke it') then I say full steam ahead and find someone to yell "Ze Plane! Ze Plane!" cause it's worth it to prove that what I buy is MINE.
And the service they run is THEIRS.
You're not entitled to use it if you don't play by their rules, genius.
Can we please stop with this stupid joke? It's not free +1 Funny anymore, it's just annoyingly redundant to read it 11 times in every article about a weapon.
"Penultimate" means "second to last" and nothing else. It sounds like "ultimate", and it is derived from "ultimate", but it still doesn't mean "super awesome".
I can't figure out what you're replying to, as the only result when searching for that word is your post and the correct usage in the summary.
Your post is very whiny and not really relevant to anything.
By coupling a game demo to a movie, I am forced to forever have to keep the game demo, whether I like it or not.
Jesus, who cares? It's not like you ever have to play it again. This is like complaining that your VHS copy of Ninja Turtles 3 has out-dated ads for products you can't buy anymore. Deal with it.
This tells me that I am not getting a.) high quality video, b.) high quality sound
Why does it tell you that? Because the movie didn't fill up the blu-ray by itself? Then how would you expect them to get extras on your beloved purchases? Do you know how much capacity a blu-ray disc has?
If I buy a movie, I want a movie, with extras pertaining to the movie.
This is anecdotal, but I generally want to watch the damned movie when I buy it, not listen to asinine commentary or watch stupid videos about the catering for the set.
So a Microsoft employee says something out the top of his head. In a normal discussion between me and you, this would be just an opinion, something along the lines of "I think that...". But change the speaker and all of a sudden it's along the lines of "BIG SECRET REVEALED!!!1111" kind of thing. Even worse, for most people it becomes one with the company's official PoV and this simple statement grows so much that the company must spit out a rebuttal via an official channel/spokesman.
We are living in a twisted, perverted world, where one can't express an opinion without being beheaded by both the press and the company he's working for. God help us all!:)
It wasn't a conversation between you and me, it was a comment made to the press. Comments made to the press are taken to be official, which is why there are typically spokespersons specifically designated to speak to the press.
I explained pretty clearly that I got the joke at first, but that it really stopped seeming like a joke toward the end. Sorry you felt the need to remark so unhappily about it.
Yes, I did, you mouth-breathing retard! No one should be allowed to post anonymously, ever. Only pussies post anonymously, and only the guilty are worried about having the government know who said what when. The government is interested in you only if you have something to hide. Moron.
I thought this was an ironic post at first, since you posted as AC and were obviously responding as if you were "RiotingPacifist". But I guess you just wanted to avoid the obviously impending Troll moderation, rather than strike some poignant chord of irony.

You never input text?
People manage to input text fairly well on touchscreens without feedback. And have been for a while now.

Stop posting AC & I could be bothered to respond to you.
Not everyone has an account. What difference does it make?
Calling police pigs will never go out of style. People do it everywhere, every day.
It's a testbed. Hence "experiments" in the acronym. The truck doesn't need to go much of anywhere.

Why on earth does the autofocus routine care what the date is?
Herf derp, at least read the summary.
"Penultimate" means "second to last" and nothing else. It sounds like "ultimate", and it is derived from "ultimate", but it still doesn't mean "super awesome".

Basically, who are you talking to?
That being the case would have made this a much more interesting article and ensuing discussion.
The mail-order bride scheme, that is.
Maybe you should get on that. No, seriously, that could be awesome.
READ THE ARTICLE.
Troll? It's a joke. It may be a little tasteless for the tightwads around here, but it's still just a joke.
People have no idea what a troll is.
I was really enjoying your earlier posts on this subject, but the last few I've read have been tainted with the crazy.
Calm down.
why are fat girls so good at giving head?
becuase they're hungry
FTFY
Just because there's a lot of crap, doesn't make it good.
Funny mod?
Don't see it.

The precedent is already there.
It's the only reason anyone bought Crackdown.
Well, the first time I refer to my mother as "shithead" will most likely be the last time I ever do anything.
Fortunately, most of us aren't 14 years old.
Cool useless anecdote, bro.

How was this shit modded funny?
I dunno, I think it's funny.
So if I had mod points...
Well, you can draw your own conclusions.
Cool story.
Yeah, it's really not that brilliant.
Consider not admitting you "almost tried" something stupid, I don't need any more troll moderations. :(
The mother could get a dog, and curtains. Problem solved.
Neither of those things will protect her from the exploding vans.

Bad form.
