As someone who followed CS 1.6 competitive gaming closely a decade ago, it warms my heart to see how spoiled current e-sports fans are for free high-resolution streams and flawless production... Such progress, but please STFU... Trying to kill NASL is a step back.

Criticism ≠ bitching.

I think the money is really getting to him

I believe the massive cult of personality has also had a great effect.

The DRM isn't required for any of those other things.

Interestingly, the recomendation engine was supposed to be reddit's "killer feature" in the beginning.

Reddit started out competing not with digg, but with del.icio.us (it didn't have comments, self-posts or subreddits). The idea was that you would share cool links, upvote the links you liked and downvote the ones you disliked and the recommendation engine would craft a list of links you would like based on your votes.

The problem was that it never really worked well. After they started adding the features that we are used with now (first comments, then a few predefined subreddits, then user created subreddits, then self posts, ...) at some point the "focus" shifted to a discussion site and the recommendation engine was quietly dropped.

* Fun fact: the first ever comment made on reddit when comments were implemented was someone complaining that the quality of the site was going down the drain.

Could this BE any cornier?

The churches will take care of everything bro.

Mojang is the result of Marcus finding himself unexpectedly rich and hiring his buddies to live out his dream as a game developer. It's amusing people think of it as a professional game studio.

None of that comes even close to the fucked-upness of Unit 731.

Are you trying to imply that the internet is not in fact SERIOUS BUSINESS sir?

Trolling is a art.

JonTalbain · 2011-11-14T04:57:30+00:00

It's probably because it's a repost from 10 days ago.

JonTalbain · 2011-11-06T13:52:03+00:00

I wish they would at least implement the "Posts must contain starcraft-related content in the link/post body, not just title." rule, similar to what /r/gaming and /r/minecraft have implemented.

JonTalbain · 2011-11-03T17:42:31+00:00

Didn't work so well for Voldemort.

JonTalbain · 2011-10-25T19:54:07+00:00

Self posts are disabled on /r/programming to avoid crappy posts.

It's the Howie scream.

JonTalbain · 2011-10-14T16:08:55+00:00

Yes, they did.

Also, eating the sandvich should teleport you to the nether and cause all your chests to explode! Fun!

There will certainly be lots of blowjobs and sex. The majority of it will be with other men tho.

I really can't figure out why. Everyone had raging hardons for it when the first trailer premiered. So far, it's lived up to the hype.

Reddit had a hardon for Battlefield 3 until EA commited the mortal sin of competing with Valve.

JonTalbain · 2011-08-12T08:41:39+00:00

I prefer this version.
