Referring to Orcs and Elves.. '[it] never found an audience.' So it's not that a game or movie's mediocre, it's that it 'didn't find an audience'
On a related note, where exactly would you play games on an iPhone? I know for a fact I wouldn't feel comfortable having an expensive gizmo like that out in the open for extended periods of time, where some tea leaf could grab it. And if you just end up using it inside, you might as well play games on a PC.
.. that's thinking inside the same box that contains all the other moody reluctant anti-heroes. For crying out loud, can't we just have someone who's happy to wade in and kick arse without moping about it? Where's Serious Sam when we need him?
... when it first gets deployed - if it gets deployed - spread the word across the internet and get people to regularly silly walk past it and do other wierd but non threatening stuff. Hey presto, so many false positives it's rendered useless.
.. The UK Government. 600 lost laptops over the last ten years! Including two from the MOD with very sensitive data on them. And that's just electronic data. Despite the public being told how important shredding documents is, some commercial enterprises seem to be just chucking sensitive data out in the bin, unshredded.
.. as Old Man Murray points out. Some puzzles may have been great, but I remember plenty of horrible ones, such as the Gabriel Knight one above, where you had to construct a false moustache using cat hair and syrup, in order to hire a moped.
.. in the file sharing software! Okay, I'm not suggesting most people who download music or movies don't know it's illegal, but working in a PC store, I've seen some genuinely confused people. People who paid money for Limewire or some other software and then thought they were legally allowed to download as much music as they liked.
.. the celebrities vying to get the first house on the moon. On the plus side, there's always the possibility of some kind of explosion hurling the moon away from the earth, and into space. Accompanied by a funky seventies beat.
Just plug the power in, rip the movies to your hard disk, and take the disc out. Last time I checked, you could get a pretty good HD quality movie down to about 8GB with Divx, without any real quality drop.
.. when, as one of our customers found out, The Sims: Castaway tells you the Intel graphics card in your laptop isn't a Direct 3D capable one. Despite Castaway's own box specs and websites listing it as compatible. The customer in question ended up swapping it for a bog standard ATI graphics card based laptop that ran it fine - for the same price.
.. a technology that lets homes receive fast internet no matter where they are. My area's not cabled up, and thanks to me being too far from the exchange.. I just live in a normal street.. I can't reliably get more than 512KB a second. Fix that, and you'd be laughing. Powerline networking, maybe?
Sheets of Dark Matter? I guess that's this season's goth clothing range sorted out then. Just when you thought it couldn't get any blacker than SuperBlack

I hope this is the first of many operating systems to be named after porn stars.
This may cause red water to leak out of your computer and turn your neighbours into homicidal maniacs. Oh wait, that's Shibito - never mind.
Okay, so it's not so much an android as a small two foot tall robot.
And by 'robot'.. I mean a cat wearing a cardboard box.
