I was at Full Sail in 2003-2004. Say what you want, but the point here is that people there LOVED games. We’d set up 2 TVs in the living room, and 2 in the bedroom, and go crazy for hours. A single game of single flag assault on Blood Gulch could last hours. Then we’d play FFA to pick leaders, then go again. After 2-3 games the hype would dwindle, some would leave, and we’d go to Munchkin. Then occasionally poker. Then Denny’s for breakfast because it was early in the morning and class was in a couple of hours on Monday.

Talk about a feeling of belonging. Definitely chasing that feeling still, and not ashamed of it.

The contemporary Modern Warfare series is a remake of the original series. At least a general new take on a lot from that series. It isn't 1:1 by far.

Instead of letting you launch each game individually, or creating a general launcher that you start and then pick the game you want to play… They chose to force players to launch MW2 as a fake hub, and in that game's main menu, click the MW3 option.

The article says you can tell because apparently if you want to play MW2 you just pick the game type and it starts starving for a match. If you want to play MW3 you have to wait as MW2 shuts down and you wait for MW3 to start, after you already waited for MW2 to start initially.

I forgot where I saw someone else suggest it… But if you really want to win over shoppers this Black Friday? Don't run a week of discounted TVs. Discount groceries.

I absolutely don't get what my parents have to do with oil barons, but okay.

I remember for a brief time Google offered up names, addresses, and phone numbers in their search results. Then after like a year (maybe less?) people decided to get freaked out over it. They offered a way to opt out, then just removed it entirely.

I also remember back in the 90s, my mom and stepdad buying a 7 disc set of phone numbers and addresses. No idea why they did it… But it was a thing.
