Rusty_Gunn: So, if a craft were to go at the edge of light speed & a gun is fired onboard in the direction the craft is headed would it slow the craft enough to account for the bullet's speed?

You know, you always say you were an English major. OK, that's the subject you majored in. Now, did you ever graduate and get a degree? Ever consider becoming a writer or reporter?

I dropped out six credits short.
More like the quality of 'past' games determines the price - well i guess that comes under reputation.

Overall the reputation of the game company is the most significant pricing factor.

Also the reputation of individual developers can carry allot of weight (Sid Meier for example)

You could have the crappiest game company in the world, put Sid Meier on your staff and what will happen to the price of your games? ka-ching!

However i have noticed some big game companies getting away with unremarkable quality because of their big established marketing setups, deals with console companies, all manner of other market control deals going on too...

market manipulation just because their big, they can, and don't respect customers.

I would be more than happy to tutor you.

It's just what friends do for each other.

Seriously!? Take a couple online courses and get that sheepskin! You are never too old to get more education. And besides, getting your degree would be a personal accomplishment even if you don't use it to get a job.

I'll tell you what, you get your degree and post a pic of it on here and I'll gift you the most expensive game on your wishlist as a congratulations. Deal?

Thanks for the offer but I'm not going back to school.

Taking a couple online courses wouldn't exactly be "going back to school".

But hey, your choice. I'm just a big believer in education so people don't end up in manual labor jobs like I did...

OK, since the Cubbies won the Series, you think the Leafs are gonna get the Stanley Cup this year? Anything could happen.

All Cubs fans must fucking hang. :D

XD The Cardinals have eleven World Championships. The Cubs have three. :P Trust me, I'm not bitter, I just despise their fans. They have NO respect for the game and for 108 years they managed to blame everyone but the team for their lack of success.
