When have "AAA" publishers looking for a profits from CEOs whose salaries could easily fund a smaller more agile studio. Or could replace them with those who are more like the late Satoru Iwata, and willing to cut their own pay in slim times.
Really what needs to be done is take guys like Bobby Kotick out of the picture. He wants fear? Give me a few minutes with voting stock, and watch him fall flat on his ass as to change his contract to remove the golden parachute to replace it with one made of frayed nylon. Unfortunately guys like him have no clue about the industry, usually because they haven't had the chance to see what it's like on the ground in the trenches.
Unfortunately these sorry excuses for executives are usually the ones who whine about short term profits over longer term gains. Kind of sad that they look at the balance sheet and don't see that their exorbitant pay stubs are what happens to be screwing the damn ledger.
Raise your Stargate universe with the Macross universe? Different media, same goal.
Where are the Zentradi when we need them? Humour me because it crossed my mind with a badly thought out Spacy.
Of course would love to have some popcorn when Washington finally gets what it has been asking for. Aliens with mecha that could put their lovely little military industrial complex to shame.
Aliens who have no problem with fighting, yet beaten quite badly by belting out a few tunes. Unless we wind up with the Marduk, then we're probably fucked again by their own songstresses buffing them up. Unless we happen to have the SDF-1 Macross park itself on the White House or Pentagon. That would be one hell of a redecoration for the place that loves to boast about muscle, yet doesn't care for peacemakers.
Pity the conservative warmonger that gets hoisted on his petard by being beaten badly with a beatitude.
One has to wonder what would happen if he wound up facing a crown prosecutor in Calgary. I'm just curious how many charges he would be hit with under the Criminal Code of Canada.
I believe he would be busted if he tried doing either land air or sea to get into this country.
Well this could wind up looking like Macross with the UN Spacy. All we need now are out of town aliens that can be beaten with and by culture.
Just one of those possible outcomes that could be argued about having been fiction before reality. Then again, aren't we living it when Akira and The Simpsons are showing coincidental outcomes that happened to go from an artist's muse to global views.
Oka incident version 2.5 perhaps? Different situation, same players.
I wouldn't be surprised if such a showdown occurred once again, Province of Quebec vs. First Nations once again will not be a pretty sight. Never was and likely never will be given the dregs which have been fought over due to colonization.
I'll just watch the GCHQ wind up finding itself under the boot heel of Anonymous over time.
I wonder how long it will be until the "Darknet" operations will have turned Mr. Cameron into the same kind of petrified cowards that got turfed in both Canada and Australia. Perhaps it's time for Fawkes to rise again and perhaps start exposing a number of Cameron's corporate friends for their high treason. Otherwise, I'm sure many members in law enforcement would find themselves outed quite nicely.
One has to wonder how many delicious details can be said about the ego of said soul. Knowing that the Justice likely has a soft spot for fraud could be reason to see him falling to a so called "Act of God".
Likely wouldn't be surprised if somehow Anonymous decided to call themselves in play and release the judge's personal details.
Whiny Cons whining over lawsuits that are aimed at their assets.
A bitchy barrister belittling a crown corporation? Methinks the DCMA could easily be used as a call against the US via NAFTA. But likely won't happen until the current batch of ruling idiots are given pink slips.
I'd be happy seeing the NDP kicking the CPC out of office and start pulling out of NAFTA. I wouldn't mind seeing democracy returned to the people over the corporate right-wing plutocracy.
Won't be long until we see a change in office on both sides of the border again.
Satoru Iwata was the kind of guy I could respect. His humility and honesty was actually something to be admired.
A CEO who actually had the balls to cut his own pay to help the company out. Could also say that he knew his stuff from having worked on the various titles over the years.
I believe we need more like the late Iwata, and less like the "entitled" chief executives one sees in other areas of the world.
Shouldn't take long to hunt down the Ferguson police chief's home address. Only takes a few minutes with cross-referencing a phone book with news articles.
Serve him with papers for a civil suit and let the shit hit the fans.
I can say that given the crap going on in Ottawa nowadays, something like this is expected. Given that the Coward's Party of Canada is lead by a fascist.
Also felt like history got put on replay. The style reminds me more of the FLQ crisis that happened before I was born. Only an idiot would think that history doesn't repeat itself. But there are probably enough people in the country that could see the similarities between the two incidents. Last one was with Quebec separation, and this one feels more like the powers of corruption residing at 24 Sussex Drive.
I'm sure a few formerly living PMs would probably want to see the current one hung or shot for treason.
Hopefully the CEO will be called back for being a coward and also get fired. His credentials may look impressive, but his manners belong in the brig. I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. Iain Standen's attitude gets him heaved like a bloody anchor off the ship. Stuff like this makes the governing board look like they should be getting a few tastes of the proverbial cat o' nine tails.
Frankly from what I had seen, he seems to be more of the kind for getting the gibbet. Antique method of killing that happened to pre-date the guillotine by a few hundred years.
Think we could see the start of a U.N. Spacy? Or will we be seeing the possible start of the United Federation of Planets?
If the former, all we need is to see a few functional Valkyrie aircraft. On the other hand, the latter could mean we wind up with something similar to the Enterprise.
Actually I know of that first hand from having lived in the NWT as a kid. One of the emergency numbers I could remember that was almost universal to the territories would have been xxx-2222 for the fire department. Though I do recall having also dispatched fire calls from the hotel that I had worked at, where I could have ignored the front desk if there was a fire call coming in. Also had false alarms and prank calls, though those would just be written down on the little clipboard beside the desk in the rear office as well.
I haven't looked at a NorthwesTel phone book in a while, so I would assume the numbers are still the same for the NWT & Nunavut.
Illusion is the ultimate weapon. Who said we had to limit things to comics with the masquerade? A few movies and books also contained masks that were about as potent as any gun. Probably add a few cartoons as well.
Seen the pig's bio. Feral Bastards and Idiots trained monkey. Methinks he needs a few lessons in humility from 4chan or nature. I can only hope the next hurricane does to him, what he did to the lass.

To add another source for the attempted swat in Calgary.

A twenty one gun salute for a damned fine bat.
Some of us who were born after the initial run can still find the "West"ern Bat was still the superior species of Bat.

My preference, hack the bloody things so you have root. Then take the ad servers domains and point them to to 127.0.0.1.
Otherwise could hope that we see something like Ghostery doing the same for the appliances.
Just add termination of the G+ product and crew, and everything will be fine with the world.

I have a feeling we will hit the 2-3 terabit range in about 6-12 months.

I would say it would be possible to call it Jaffe's gaffe of stupidity.
True enough. Sure it is prior art, if one gives a few millennia to think about it. In this case, the old method is superior to the new.

Just need a version for the gibbet, the block and the sword.

I'm going to assume someone builds a replica of Snake Man from Megaman/Rockman 3 that fires actual Search Snakes.
