    I can't? I was merely using it as an example of what could possibly go wrong with in-game ads that obstruct gameplay. I mean, who doesn't hate it when an advertisement of something that is completely unrelated to your content comes crashing into your eyeballs? I know I wouldn't like it one bit.

    Oh, I felt that way a long time ago.

    Protip: never lend your NES to a chain-smoker.

    Those 3 look a little pale, perhaps they are sick?

    There's really not much to tell, though. I lent my NES to my kid sister, who smoked like a jet engine that just ate a goose. Next time I saw it, there was this thin layer of sticky tar along it from the bottom bit of the pale grey area on down, past the air vents. I was...unimpressed.

    that seems worse then jazz's but i edited because i thought it might of been something similar to this and not something crazy .

    Still was a horrible thing to do.

    Or anything for that matter. Smoking leaves nasty damage.

    They also might pawn it for cigs.

    You mean to tell me all that tar isn't good for you and all your shit?

    OT: I feel like this was bound to happen eventually. Though the article does state that it's only a patent, so there is no actual proof that Sony would implement such a measure... they wouldn't do such a thing... would they? Right?!

    Read an article recently about this army guy overseas that was able to get a wounded dog from these people for a pack

    Dog is in better hands now

    Lol well people didn't expect them to remove Other OS from the PS3 either.
