I know he's kidding, he was using hyperbole to suggest that this is government overreach. I don't think it is.
Even creepier. Also, I consulted every site on the Internet and a consortium of literature professors, and they told me you don't know what "hyperbole" means. You may have been looking for "satire".
No. There are way more of us than you, and we have more Internet than you. You got Americans to watch your glossy, soapy, US-television-imitating Doctor Who remake. Isn't that enough? Now go back to your beans on toast, and stop making unreasonable requests.
Finally, someone with the strength and will to power to come out and say what must be done in order to bring about our glorious new age of perfect government-approved science and PROGRESS! Are we holding any rallies soon? Where can we sign up? Also, I have an incinerator-making company in need of construction contracts, and some remote campsite locations for sale. Who's with us?
I agree. The AT&T exclusivity is particularly unappealing. Does Amazon think they have something desirable here? Where is the hook that makes the exclusivity worth it? It's hard to fathom what they are thinking.
Wow. That's a lot of obligatory fan responses. You must be easy to wind up! I've loved K9 and all of the robot animals ever since they appeared with Dr. Who and his granddaughter in "King Kong Escapes". I can't believe anyone ever watched that BBC ripoff TV version.
No fair, smart person! How'd you get so smart, smarty pants? Choose a side and fight. Don't you understand the rules? This is slashdot! Start slashing! Which party am I again? Somebody mod this Yar up.
Hear, hear. Ever since it became clear that the two big consoles were racing each other to become crippled DRM PC's, it's made more sense to hold out for the PC version of everything. I haven't paid more than $10 for an Xbox360 or PS3 game since they launched. Not worth it.
I'm actually being spurious. Spuriously, though, if you listen to numbers like that Guinness link you posted, Indiana Jones and the Crystal Skull was the biggest Indiana Jones movie. The publishers of GTA are certainly powerful enough to get records criteria custom-formed in order to ensure that they "break" multiple records, thereby assuring ad copy and talking points that make their expensive project appear successful in print ads and job-preserving PowerPoint presentations. Tetris, anyone?
...I have to ask: Why is THIS game item worthy of being here? There are so many game related "news" items in the world. The ones that land here are truly mystifying to me. People care about GTA V? I was under the impression that series peaked with "San Andreas". If someone was posting the latest Colossal Cave news, or maybe Daleks, or Rats for the Burroughs B-20, THEN I would understand.
I had the same experience. It's what led me to post my comment. Too much create-your-account nagging that you couldn't turn off. I'm speaking of the paid Android version.
So good, so good

He could just get so fat that he's considered unattractive on television, so only those who know how to listen pay attention to him. It's kept Michael Moore alive for years.

Crazy? For realsies? I have both versions. Now I must know!

He was kidding, Amicus. You're creeping me out.

$649 for the base one, the same as basically all other flagship smart phones... and other Android phones aren't spyware ridden?
Jeff, is that you?

If alien politics are anything like ours, I'm voting for scenario #3.

How's the sand tasting down there?

Is my infantile general anasthesia experience the reason I can't recite the Hartnell episodes in order?
Look, I can handle ancient farmers, but sailors, too? Come on! Next you'll be telling me they used language. The things you people believe!

What a game! Why does EA get to distribute it?
FYI - carriers don't make money on regular subscriptions.

If my story is interesting, what do I get?
Whoops! Accidentally modded you down. This comment should undo that. I agree with you.
Aye, verily, the olde-fashioned stylings of words offendeth me, so I cutteth them out.
