Missed the diamond celebration. Congrats (again).

Hmmm... never thought of it that way.

I could never understand why, in the movies, they rattle the clicker when they get disconnected. Is it supposed to help? Seems to me you are just hanging up over and over.

What's the big deal? They're squirrels. Why not just leave them alone?

If I could upvote your bio, I would.
And congrats on the crown.

Not sure if I understand the question, but if you are saying that Greenwald is being played like a chess piece by others, I gotta say "no". I wish we had many more Greenwalds, Mannings, Snowdens, and Assanges.

I realize that's more than one word, but I'm a rebel.

I'm no console snob. I hate all consoles equally. They ruined PC gaming, afaic, even though the PC is a superior gaming platform. I've been cursing consoles since the Halo fiasco, when the game was made an XBox exclusive, destroying what was shaping up to be an incredible PC game. The console version and very-delayed PC port were just crap. Since then, most AAA PC game developers have been tripping over each other for a piece of the huge console market. Cross-platform development has taken it's toll on the PC versions of games, as games are designed for the lowest common denominator (consoles). The controls suck, the interfaces suck, the endless QTEs suck, the hand-holding sucks, the cover systems suck, the hide-and-wait healing sucks, the graphics suck, and most important of all, the gameplay sucks.

Thank FSM for indie developers who make PC games.

It's almost as bad as the NBA.

Didn't cross my mind, but yeah... now that you mention it, I can see it. Some pretty obvious parallels there.

Buy a PC. Get Steam. Get GoG.

Hilarious gas bomb in a crowded Starbucks! Allahu Akbar!
