    Yeah, the major console makers hate europe, actually they hate pretty much anything that isn't North America and Japan. PC gaming does quite well in those alternate markets.

    There's a lot of PC gaming that isn't dead.

    It's just that the big multiplayform games, for the most part, are being played by people on their consoles. That doesn't mean no one plays PC games - just that more people play console games, at least in NA.

    Plus that leaves out the following gems: MySims Party, MySims Racing, and My Sims Agents.

    Who the hell even knew they had a massive multiplayer game too? Weird.

    I mean Brach's used to sell these cherry sours
    And they were delicious
    Beyond delicious, juicy and just the right mix of tart and sweet
    They only sold them during Valentine's
    And every year I would buy a whole bunch to last me through the year
    And then one year, I searched and searched and no one sold them anymore
    Was I mad at Brach's?
    No.
    I understood the reason they discontinued the candy wasn't because they weren't delicious
    It was just that nobody else was buying them
    It hurt, I won't say it didn't hurt, sometimes it still hurts
    But I understand Brach's isn't in the business of selling deliciousness
    They're in the business of making money

    I imagine that the feeling of playing Diablo III for the first time will only be eclipsed in the realm of candy when a delicious new Cadbury Egg is invented that sends you into orgasm after the first bite.

    For me, finally obtaining that game will be about on the same level as the joy of hauling in an absurd amount of candy on Halloween as a little kid. A fuckload of candy, if you will. Like, you had at least two instances where you went up to houses that had their lights off but there were these huge containers overflowing with candy by the doors and there were signs that said "Take on piece of candy each. Happy Halloween" or some variation of that and you just said "fuck it, I'm taking a shovel full" and added that amount to your stash each time.

    Also, Cadbury Eggs are fucking nasty. I liked them when I was a kid, but holy shit now they just taste like a mouthful of pasty-thick chemicals, possibly some kinda runoff or discharge from, like, a factory. That's next to an open sewer.

    Easter is my favorite holiday, specifically because of Cadbury Creme Eggs. I used to include Peeps, but then my friends and I engaged in a Peep-eating contest and...well, I haven't had them in about five years.

    I always thought it was really stupid that Cadbury never expanded that idea to other holidays. I don't care if they're Cadbury Creme Pumpkins or whatever, just give me that shit year-round.

    Kinda like what Apple does with new versions of its hardware, only way more in-your-face about it.

    Apple Unveils New Product-Unveiling Product
    Described in its patent filing as a "hype-generating mechanism with fully integrated Mac compatibility," the iLaunch is powered by Intel dual-core processors optimized to calculate a product's gravitas. Apple claims the iLaunch can garner the same amount of press attention as a major scientific discovery, high court ruling, celebrity meltdown, or natural disaster at 200 times the speed of a traditional media-fostered launch.

    "Before today, I couldn't imagine paying $12,000 for a product-unveiling product," CNET editor Jasmine France said after the presentation. "Now I can't imagine living without it."

    Apple Claims New iPhone Only Visible To Most Loyal Of Customers
    "I am proud today to introduce to those who really, truly deserve it, our most incredible iPhone yet," announced Apple CEO Steve Jobs, extending his seemingly empty left palm toward the eagerly awaiting crowd. "Not only is this our lightest and slimmest model ever, but as any truly savvy Apple customer can clearly see, it's also the most handsome product we've ever designed."

    The packed auditorium, which had been listening to Jobs in hushed reverence for several minutes, then erupted into applause, with hundreds of men and women suddenly jumping to their feet and shouting, "I can see it!" "Look, there it is!" and "God, it's so beautiful!"

    Screams of "Of course, yes, I too can see the phone," were also heard at this time.
