Hmmmm....
I like how your example of a "hard fact" begins with the words
"in my opinion". The truth is, noone can prove or disprove anything about people's wants, so why try to do that with Microsoft?
Good point.
Whatever can keep someone's mind active while not taxing the body too much I think would make a wonderful gift. And I think video game consoles are the perfect match.
Hope you're doing better.
I see how this works. You mean that misleading someone into believing they can just buy a 360 without paying that extra money out the nose for crap after waiting hours for it isn't slimey? And that it's actually the consumer's fault he was there in the first place?
Yeah, those damn consumers.
What they should have done, like you suggested, is go to another place after waiting for hours in one line so that they could be last in line somewhere else and not get one at all.
A brilliant point.
I don't understand what all the complaining is about. To me the games look better. I'm not looking for the games to be absolutely immaculate, I'm just looking for them to be a little more pleasing to the eye. And as a side note, playing an xbox game on a 360 makes it much easier for me to enjoy myself without having to switch between consoles.
So again, what's the problem?
That's completely wrong. Yes the mod community helped by making counterstrike, which is no doubt an immensely popular game, but the fact is every single gamer I know loved Half Life when it first came out. I personally thought the single player was amazing and intense, and the weapons were fantastic. So I don't know what you're talking about when you say "Without the niftiness of stuff like Counterstrike and Garry's Mod the entire series would have been 'just another FPS',". In fact, I see it in top 10 PC games of all times lists constantly without having CS mentioned next to it.
Does it matter? Writers have something called a poetic license, where it pretty much lets them do whatever the hell they want. The point is, the semicolon creates a longer pause, no matter which way you look at it. And that's what the writer was going for.

Uhoh, my friends caught me watching a movie? Who the heck cares?

I'm moving to Japan, where people and technology are both appreciated.
