The 'Wal-Mart Cheer': Most Depressing Thing You'll Ever See
I've worked retail during my 20's, and some companies/stores are similar to this. Although in my experience the group was never really all that motivated or even happy to be there.
Only retail job I had that treated it's employees like adults was at the Dell Kiosks, they paid well and didn't have us attend terrible meetings like this one.
Fuckin Comic-Con
Paying for it doesn't count
And yet I get laid there every year. Yer doin' it wrong.
That's How You Report the News in Detroit!
Yeah, this guy is the real deal, he actually cares about Detroit. It's a shame too cause for the most part, he's pretty much the only one left.
Whatever this field reporter is being paid, it isn't enough
I live in a city south of Detroit, we're called "little detroit" and it's starting to show, although no where NEAR as bad as Detroit itself. It's quite sad really, I lived in Royal Oak Mi (north of the D) for 2 years and hated it there (for different reasons).
Star Citizen Extended Trailer
I'm pretty sure Lucas Arts no longer holds that IP with the acquisition by Disney.
Don't hold your breath waiting for TIE Fighter. As far as the rest of the industry is concerned, the space sim genre is dead. Doubt Lucasarts would ever give up the IP to let it be crowdfunded.

What happened to Jon Stewart? Did John Oliver finally strike him down and take the throne for himself?
How to share games on the PS4
The X1 allows you to transfer the license once (borrow or sell the title) to a friend that's on your friends list for 30 days.
Select partners (Gamestop obviously) will be able to resell used games, I'm sure they have some huge massive contract with MS for this.
The big kicker is the online requirement, the system will check authentication once every 24 hours or once per hour if you're on your account but not on your machine. If you fail the check (internet goes down etc) you're unable to play any games, although the Bluray and media center functions remain unchanged.
Overall Microsofts policy and lackluster handling of the situation and info has been terrible overall. For the first time in years (since ps1 gen 1) I'll be getting a Sony system to pair up with my PC for games/entertainment.
The current XBox allows you to borrow, rent games. You can buy and sell used games without any issues as well. The upcoming XBox One however allows a title to be resold only once through a very specific process that they haven't revealed yet. You can't borrow a friends copy of a game, and I'd presume you can't take your game to their house to play there unless the game is tied to your account not just your XBox One... Either way...
As Jinx noted, this was likely done to appease the publishers. They've been wanting to get rid of the used game industry for some time (an industry I don't get anyhow, you'll give me less than half the used price of a game, then sell it for $5 less than a new copy... why buy used if it is only $5 less?).
The question becomes, as noted before, if the publishers make it worth Microsoft's time and losses due to that policy then it will work out, but if they support Sony just as well, or even after a short delay, then Microsoft gambled wrong. They are going to lose sales over the policy. That, the fact the system needs to connect every 24 hours or it will lock down even single player use until it connects again...
To play games online with XBox Live you need a paid Gold account. You can play games on the PS3 without a PS Plus account, but there are rumors that the PS4 will require a paid PS Plus account to play multiplayer. That will just be leveling the playing field, and if you still don't need a paid account to access Netflix (you need a paid Gold account on XBox to get Netflix or Amazon videos... and I think to access your YouTube account fully) on the PS4 then they'll still have an edge on the multimedia front.
Another of Sony's big upsets was pricing the PS4 $100 under the XBox One price... now I'm going to hazard a guess they had a couple prices ready to roll based on the XBox's price and decided to undercut, it could have been the planed price from the start, but I'd guess they wanted to scare Microsoft. I'm also guessing Microsoft will announce "new cost saving measures" right before the holidays and adjust theirs down, they are already behind the 8 ball with the used and borrowing game limits, I can't see them letting Sony getting a huge boost from price as well... if they reverse course on borrowing/used games they might be able to keep the price up "we've heard the complaints from our users and have decided not to implement that feature at this time" sort of thing, but I'm guessing they are too far into that to reverse that and will just price match.
EDIT: I should note that I'm mostly a PC Gamer, followed by XBox games then PS3... well iOS games are probably after PC Games but before console games... I like XBox better as a gaming platform, but my PS3 has better networking for Netflix and Blu-ray support (XBox One gains Blu-ray support) so it is my multimedia machine of choice. I don't think I'll upgrade either system at this time though...

I can't remember, but didn't Mythbusters do something like this too?

I'm not a fan of Psy in any way shape or form, but I do have to give him credit for the response.
The Winning Samuel L. Jackson Reddit Monologue Muthaphukkas!
He's probably on set for Avengers 2 or some Marvel/disney. They all get nice trailers to stay in during shooting.
Is he in a mobile home or a trailer?

Awesome! We Got a New Phone Book!
I think some cities already have that in place, where you can opt-out of receiving a phone book. Although they still have stacks of them at local markets etc.
Well, Yellow Pages aren't made from trees. Rather they're made from sawdust and lumber scrap and post-consumable recycled paper, and either soy or veggie ink.
But that doesn't take into account the fossil fuels used to manufacture and deliver them.
They'll stop eventually, but there's still lots of rural communities in the US that don't have high speed internet access, and people rely on the YP.
It should be opt-in to receive them.
