Your implication is that purchasers were being stupid, which you verified. Indicating that I and a dozen friends and family are stupid does, in fact, get my ire up. No, envy that the product you believe is inferior is vastly, vastly outselling the one you like.

I am of the opinion that your understanding of realities and human nature isn't necessarily shared by all of humanity. Perhaps said understanding is more personal that you might think.

No, I agree that there are more Apple fans than Android. However, there are maybe 3 million Apple fanatics, people who just buy whatever Apple makes, and that's a high-end estimate. Such "fanboys" have very, very little effect on the overall market. First to market, perception that the product...

You're not examining their reasons, you're simply claiming that yours are the non-specious ones. Over 315,000,000 iOS devices sold so far. What percentage of those do you believe were purchased through "slavish devotion", and what percentage are "yada, yada"?

With this system of wisdom, how do you discern the difference between "slavish devotion" and "actually better, even if you don't agree"?

Played the Ticket to Ride Asia partnership map, which is awesome, a whole different Ticket to Ride, and King of Tokyo, which was crazy random but short enough to stay fun.

What's a non-stupid amount?

"Stupidly high" in what sense?

Last weekend included Thunderstone Advance: Towers of Ruin, which is a revamp of Thunderstone that significantly improves a game I already enjoy, and a couple of plays of Kingdom Builder, which was fascinating because every time you play it's a significantly different game, but not in a bad way...

Plus $50 buys quite a lot of apps. :)

You can also use (spoiler)your secret(/spoiler), which sometimes works better if you're just spoiling part of a sentence or what have you (rather than the clickable block reveal). Replacing the ( and ) with [ and ], of course.

Ah, gotcha. "UFC" I would have recognized, and am familiar with "mixed martial arts", just not "MMA". Enjoy your discussion!

What's MMA?

There are so many comments about the first few episodes being bad and people never going back that it's no surprise the series is cancelled. In my opinion, the show significantly improved over time. While it still wasn't a must-see show for me, I genuinely enjoyed several of the last half-dozen...

I very much enjoy Dominant Species and have played it a half-dozen or so time, always with 4 or 5. There aren't as many paths to victory as some reviews indicate, in my opinion, but the tactical level is a lot of fun and there are enough valid strategies to keep it from getting stale. Good...

The River is so much cheaper to make that I doubt it's as troubled.

When I was a kid Carl's age I'd been camping a fair bit, had Cub Scout training, etc. I was good about not wandering off, knew the dangers, and was appropriately downright fearful of some of the things that might kill me. However, I still snuck down to the bottom of the spillway near where we...

He's my favorite DM. :)

Aw, wow. We owe the whole look of Star Wars to him (based on descriptions from Lucas), along with Battlestar Galactica's, Cocoon, E.T, you name it. Amazing vision and a great artist.

Devalued against what?
