Can't talk about grease disposal without posting this.
I'm not a fan of the "new car smell", for some reason. The "new computer smell", on the other hand, is a rare treat.
we sort of see a 20 percent uplift on the value of that customer because you're locking that person, committing to a longer-term relationship.

It wasn't super meaningful from a narrative perspective, but no one who played Unreal when it was new is likely to forget that first step off the Vortex Riker onto Na Pali. Sure, there had been games like Myst, but this not only elevated how beautiful games can be, but put the player right in the middle of it like nothing else did. Not an easy moment to recreate. To be honest, that game plus UT2003/04 had some of the best graphics in the business, from both the technical and design standpoints.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I get the feeling that AI necromancy will be the next 3D. It'll be a fad for a few years, and then we'll wonder where "look kids, it's [dead/old actor]!" went.

Fair complaint, but fwiw Reddit went through the same thing with Digg. It passed.
