If I had the RIAA breathing down my neck about this, I'd do the same thing. Better to go along with this issue than to tie up god knows how much money in court costs.
*IF* this is the real Two Towers movie, who really cares? Does anyone think this will affect the movie's grosses in the slightest?
Most of the criminals downloading this movie will agree with me, in that watching a washed-out and pixelated bootleg in your parents' basement can never compare to watching it in a theater.
I bought this book with a giftcard, not knowing anything about Gaiman's work and just wanting something a little out of the ordinary... I thought it was a great book, but I read a lot of fantastic "pure" sci-fi last year.
I don't exactly understand how the AI talked about in the game relates to the Borg, other than giving it a nerd-cool relation. The Borg operate on a hive mind, and something that is learned by one is learned by all.
So aside from gross misuse of a geeky metaphor as hype, what else are they offering? A game where people learn stuff. How revolutionary. I played Seaman years ago, when this concept was new.

Some people respect the gravity of this situation!
Well, I guess they're fluxed no matter what.
We can't let them replace dock workers just because they have magnetic personalities!
People who use UPS are lazy anyway. Just run the damn thing.

Not true. Look at the artwork and design on Tool's cd cases, or Dredg's... or...
Maybe you have a point.

The synopsis says it works on anything, including virii and cysts. It sounds like it's being marketed as a curative, to me.
The human body is made of millions of bacteria. Especially the digestive system.
I'd be interested in knowing how this solution can target only bacteria deemed 'harmful', and not wipe out my damn large intestine in the process.

"We had two groups of hard guys. When the two groups were not holding status competitions between themselves..."
Like there's going to be any other result when you assemble a group of hard guys.
You could put videos on it and have it play them back in holo form! You can only see "Where the Boys Aren't: 7" so many times in 2d.
