And on the subject of slapping people, so long as it's done with a mighty wang of justice I generally consider it a sign of affection.

Slapping is awesome

See even Werdum agrees.

Who is Werdum, you say? The man that beat Fedor that's who!

Fedor will bitch slap him to death the next time they fight.

You are, I just like him as a cartoon caracter, this human superhero. You actually know about the man, you know how he trains, you follow his life. Please, you are by miles and miles the biggest Fedor fan here.

I don't follow Fedor's life.

If the industry wants to curb used sales and piracy thye should figure out a business model that gets games in the $40 range.  If they can't figur that out they deserve to die off.

When Dreamcast games were $39.99 I used to go to the store every wek and buy what was new.  At the same time, when N64 games were $60-$70 I'd research the game, choose between good and bad, trade off choice between what my wife wanted to play and what I wanted etc...  Same thing happens now.  More than $40 for a game is too much, we've been conditioned to accept $50 as "okay" -- it's not.

Region locking also needs to die.  It's been more than once I've not gotten a game because I'd have to go through hoops to break the region locking if I wanted to play it.  It's a completely nonsense, useless and outdated concept.

Banks are the worst.  Go into a bank -- eight windows, seven closed.  And they've got these ropes up like this.  We've all been to Disneyland; we all know it takes eleven minutes to get on the Mediterranean Pirate Line.  I was going business in the bank the other day, and I had to sign a piece of paper.  I asked,

You got a pen?  I don't got a pen, I gotta sign this.  She says Yeah, she hands me a pen...on a chain.  It doesn't even go where I'm goin'.  And I said,

Why do you have pens on chains?  She said, People steal them.

I said, So what? and I ripped the thing off the wall!  Still got it.  I said to her, Put the name on the pen, let em steal them!  Use it for advertising!  For cryin' out loud!  She's goin' for the phone, 911 I knew it,

Nononononono, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's not your fault.  I have no right yelling at you.  I'm sorry, I'm sorry.  Just, tell your bank manager to have a sign made for every teller's window, and the sign reads, you are a thief, and we know it.

While we're talking about publishers and developers taking the wrong approach, it really reminds me of this talk they showed us at a job search program I was in.  It's titled "Just Give Em The Pickle!" While you may or may not agree with the overall hokey optimism of treating the custom right, it hits one note perfectly.
