Cobbling together 2 inferior technologies doesn't give you a superior one.
Damn straight, it gives you a SuperInferior(TM) technology! Or, you know, just Super. With all the SuperShiny(TM) bells and whistles you've come to know and loathe! Well, we've still got the marketing to work out, but trust us, we will fucking bury Google!
Old games in general, really. We mainly remember the good games from Ye Olden Days and forget the plethora of shitty ones that were available as well--and as we wade through the current muck we look back to the golden oldies and bemoan the current state of things. Of course this doesn't apply only to video games, but also movies, music, etc. We remember the good and throw out most of the bad.
I'm not saying that there's a lack or nonexistence of good or great 2D platformers, I'm simply saying that the greatness of 2D platformers in general has been greatly hyped and overestimated.
Egyptian law enforcement has a habit of torturing and murdering detainees, or of having them 'disappear.'
Hot damn, isn't this what we do in Gitmo? What the CIA does abroad? What can happen to any American citizen if he is declared an "enemy combatant"? And you know it doesn't take much of anything for any citizen to qualify as an "enemy combatant." So the United States commits acts like this all the time but that's somehow all right because it's the U.S., yet when another country does the same thing it's suddenly horrible and atrocious and something that is Really Evil?
I am in no way agreeing with what Vodafone has done or what the Egyptian government has done and might do but am simply pointing out a double standard that has disgusted me for quite some time.

Clearly you've never watched a game of curling.
I was gonna make a remark about the filing date, but seeing that it's 6 December 2004, there's still plenty of prior art.
Uh, NASA' really should be NASA's, you know.
FTFY.

Undoing my flamebait mod... I found the parent post absolutely hilarious.

Not at the time, of course.
One word: nostalgia.
I recommend ClamXav.
You mean, just like for an Xbox 360 game, only with more purpose?
Then perhaps this is The Pirate Bay's way of getting the average joe to care about what the RIAA and MPAA have been doing?
Pfft. Terapixels are where it's at.
There's that word again. "Heavy." Why are things so heavy in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?
Actually, we do. I think it's something called the internet. I'm not so sure about it, but so far people have been saying great things. . . .

While casualty is most often used to mean a death, it also refers to injury.
Er, she's behind me. Or next to me.
Fuck.
The wife?
Good luck with that.
No, pot fosters creativity, and cigarettes help you keep your creativity focused. Alcohol helps you cope with your unrealized vision.
Well, for writers, anyway . . . .
