I need to set this up.

"IBM was a somewhat angry bear at the time as the tiny ferrets of the clone industry continued to eat its lunch" I guess this is why there is such an industry of predicting Apple's downfall?

Mysterious.

It would be cool to inadvertently be responsible for a meme.

I guess it makes sense for marketers to be this risk adverse, but they influence the culture in a bad way. It's like the artificial pink/blue split.

I need to review this.

Reminds me of Supply-Side Jesus.

Hah. I remember this style of ad. (And I've played Mall Madness.)

The Duck Dynasty star's warped vision of civil-rights history feeds his warped view of today's gay-rights struggle.

Ignorant of history.

Poor Mr. Stoll was proven hilariously wrong.

Good points about the lack of playable LGBT characters.

A good speech on why we must support universal human rights.

I think I first played Doom at Zeb's, though that might have been Quake. Our PC XT at the time was a bit behind. You cannot deny its influence.

Ooo, pretty.

Appropriate that it's "written" by Radagast. Some good points in general on climate modeling, and some funny nods for fans. Does this qualify as fanfic?

Some tech might just be too dangerous or unpredictable to use.

This neatly captures the bit of allegory from Into Darkness.

Glad to see Kirby is doing more stuff, though not much new is said here.

I would also assume gullibility, but I know that these techniques work on almost everyone. Fascinating, tragic story (mocked in Arrested Development, no less).

Still very slow moving, and mostly remote-operated, but imoressive power stats

He has to invoke the market almost every paragraph, to justify even a remotely progressive agenda.

Cool, and a bit crazy. I only know some of this stuff from early dialup days on our Performa.

This.

The highlight of this is the upside down Atari logo as female reproductive system visual gag. Some great points on how gaming became "male".

So delightfully meta

This, though the procedural system in STO felt very templatey for gameplay reasons.

Interesting take on the way Susan's shown as growing up in The Last Battle. I think it did bother me as a kid that she wasn't included, even before I realized the books were a religious metaphor.

Not shocked at all. Annoying though - I doubt they verified whether a player was a US citizen.
