Does my lack of effort to keep my friends strip me of the right to feel like crap when I feel like I have so few?

EA Workshop

I'm not much of a video or PC gaming person. I find the classic arcade games more thrilling. The only circumstances where I may be found playing such games, are:
a) I had gotten the game for free
b) Someone is tricking me into playing the game
c) Game-bot threatened to self distruct inside my room unless I play the game

Thanks Wendell, for the game, despite it being blatant promotion.

Happy Hallmark Day!

DVD Packaging

If it wasn't bad enough that it originally took 4.4 hours, three offensive-lineman, several Jinsu knive sets, a mini-anger-induced-stroke, and the jaws-of-life to open up a C.D., it seems that now those very same packaging sadists that brought you the aforemetioned are now behind DVD packaging! (especially if ordered via internet - i.e. Amazon.com etc. ) I mean, what in God's name is going on here!? just what sort of mega-catastrophic transportation/handling contingencies are these people anticipating? nuclear war? epic floods? Godzilla? It's a fecking plastic disk. is it not enough that you've got the original plastic packaging ( which is still a bit of a pain but at least generally physically possible to remove most times without your eye-balls popping out ) and the actual DVD case? why then do you have to have those irritating clear ultra-stickie-thingies on as well?

That being said, the ultimate inanity and irony in all this, however, is that lightbulbs, in turn ( you know, those little devices that actually ARE delicate and tend to break a lot ) are packaged in only an ultra-flimsy 1/16th inch cardboard concoction type jacket and nothing else! This world is truly a fecking insane place!
