Besides, I know someone who won't even touch six words with a ten-feet pole and came up with two even shorter stories - one consisting of 4, another one consisting of five words - that became instant classics in world literature (well, oral culture, that is):
Story #1: Developers. DeVElopers. DeVELOPERS! DEVELOPERS!! Story #2: I. Love. This. Company. YEEEEE-HAAHH!!!
The best part is: both have already been turned into movies.
You may know the answer, but it's the question you got all wrong. Do you know many people working at a brewery? Is drinking their product part of their work? Would any decent brewery interested in succeeding hire anyone with a habit?
May I suggest a better example: game testers / reviewers? Addicted to gaming, or just another job?
The single-mindedness of some people is just amazing. Who ever said that everything BluRay will add is cutscenes? I guess you will be better off then, re-buying the same game over and over (cf. Nintendogs), just for some more choice in game character and content? It remains up to the game publishers how bloated their games will turn out in the end. 25GB (or 50Gb for that matter) might pave the way to mayhem, if nobody is forced to trim out the garbage anymore before shipping, but all it actually offers to the vendors is c h o i c e. To you as well, btw. You have got the right to not buy, and the right to be part of a self-reassuring fanboy community.
Gee, thanks for implying that my suggesting 'sponger' was, indeed, correct. And by the way, what makes you think I didn't read the claqueur's post? He has posted his one-minded argument often enough today, and has been answered often enough as well, methinks.
If I look at the crusade this shill is on (my, dear Sphonix, enough already), you might be right on spot. One thing only: a most valuable professional wouldn't possibly consistently misspell sponsor, now, would he?;)
Sounds like the definition of a sponser to me. Thanks for playing.
Hey wait, there must be a typo somewhere, the word 'sponser' doesn't exist in the English language. The online dictionary of my choice suggests you meant to write 'sponger'. Thanks for playing to you as well, nice game!
Wow, unless you're trolling - and I'm a bit scared you might not - and Nintendo won't fix half the issues you named, then the Wii will only sell for its novelty effect, and die a quick death soon after that. In that case, send my regards to Kyoto.

Sony Reader Now Available
·
· Score: 2, Insightful
More formats, as in.DOC or.LIT files? Won't happen (I haven't read the current specs of the Reader, though), at least not officially. But rest assured, as with the previous readers (and with almost all DRM-heavy Sony products, like the PSP and Playstations) it will soon be hacked to run anything you might see fit. The Reader runs on Linux, anyway, AFAIK.
Wow, you didn't even finish reading the article summary, did you? It also mentions higher priced NDS games, depending on anticipation; do you think Wii games will be any different, in Japan?
Not to mention this pricing policy seems to be Japan only, which makes the discussion rather irrelevant for overseas markets. Having said that, the dramatic difference might still be there if you compare average prices for each console.
the Nazis (well, mostly Hitler) wanted to kill people over something quite ridiculous
While I subscribe to most parts of your post (why, yes, GP is a total loser and presumably a troll as well), I can't leave above quote without comment. Please do never, ever reduce history to single persons' deeds or believes, and especially not in this case. Unfortunately, it wasn't mostly Hitler who wanted to exterminate the European Jews, all of them, eventually it was the Nazis and most of the German people who very much thought alike - and acted alike.
It's what you get when anti-semitism and death cult go mainstream in a people that has the power to realize the resulting goals. This was the case in Nazi Germany, and it is again the case in Lebanon and Iran (minus, as of yet, aforementioned power, but slowly getting there). Today as well, it is not a Nasrallah or Ahmahdinedjahd (sp?) problem, it is a volksgemeinschaft problem like in the 1930s/40s. Break the arabian volksgemeinschaft that's only just developing (not sure if the Israeli air raids were any success in that respect), and Israel has a chance to survive. Of course this would mean civil war throughout Lebanon, Syria and Iran, to say the least.
Our coach wasn't, either - back then, that is. What with the wooden wheels and those dang horses, especially. The new coach is a Nissan, though. The wheels are better now.
Well, I was just trying to be funny, but as you invested some time in taking my remark at face value and bothered replying, you have deserved yourself an answer. While you have a point, and Japanese DO take precautions to keep those nasty bugs out of the bed, you are slightly wrong in two aspects there. One, where ever I have been in Japan, I hardly ever saw someone beating the shit out of their futons (bad pun, I know, however, intended none the less). They do (occasionally) hang them out to dry, that's right, and I understand that while mites do like it hot, they are not so keen on sunbathing. Two, exterminating unwanted lifeforms is hardly the reason for Japanese beds to be moved. Simple as it may sound, Japanese rooms tend to be small and therefore have to serve multiple purposes. This is all the more true, the more traditional a house or apartment is laid out. So, the very spot where you have been treated to sip some deliciously bitter green tea in the afternoon might very well be the place where silly old grandpa snorts away every night. There's some beauty in that if you got a sense for that kind of stuff. And preparing the beds works remarkably well and is easily done in a minute, considering that real Japanese futons are lightweight and far from those hideous latex monsters they lug around and sell as futons here in the West.
What's even more ironic, even though Western beds do have legs, they usually don't move at all, while Japanese beds move out of the way (and into the closets) every morning...
No, no, Magnetic Fields are considered harmful ONLY if they are created by French composer Jean Michel Jarre, but then again, calling those 'strong' will expose you to even more harmful laughter. So take care (with that radio, that is).
It is not US money, it is Microsoft money, simple as that. You may call it the shareholders' money as well, but that would restrict it to US only money even less.
No, you don't.;) You managed to somehow cram in 3 grammar mistakes and one spelling typo into those two short sentences (as if you'd care). Hola, moderators: I'm celebrating, so I love to see my karma burn today.
Note: The Australian price of the PS3 will be AU$890 (US$668) for the 20GB Model and AU$999 (US$750) for the 60GB model (with HDMI), so for you people in the US please spare a thought for us who are getting ripped off.
Wow, that is rather similar to the European retail prices at EUR 499 (US$ 640) and EUR 599 (US$ 768), respectively. I can't find pre-order prices for the UK yet, though, so those may actually mark the new high score when released, like before.

Please do us a favor, go to wikipedia.com, look up 'sarcasm' and re-read GP's post. Something starting to become clear? Fine so. ;)
