So... magic. Gotcha.

Can we change Opaque's name to Nut Rider?

Please, post it again. Your ascerbic wit flew over our heads in the name change thread.

He posted the same thing there, too?

So awesome. He is way butt hurt.

I am the true father of that child btw... Sorry Yoshi, you had to find out somehow.

How does that make sense? That's like if Kitchenaid sells a shitload of blenders it means that now they can sell you a car. Or if 7-11 sells a shitload of pizzas it means they're going to up their orders on motor oil.

The more logical way to look at it is that if GOW sells a shitload of maps, then the next big shooter will try to sell maps. If Diesel sells a lot of avatar clothes, maybe Ecko will try to sell avatar clothes.

So paying to download wholly unplayable extras for non-existent games is perfectly forgivable, but paying to download stuff you can actually play is an industry-corroding sin. I understand now.

Diesel isn't making the Avatar Lightsaber, that's coming from Lucas Arts, and you really can't see the connection between hey if we can sell these dumb fucks a 3 dollar model for their little digital dress up dolls, I bet we can sell them weapons in real games. This isn't a pizza to motor oil connection. This is the same company selling similar things. Shit that should be standard in a game is going to start costing you money to get. You already have Pachter trying to convince Activision it needs to charge a monthly fee to play CoD games online. This crap is all connected.

The real stuff came first, avatar or no
