Regarding the chart, check out the comments, where Thaddaeus snaps Nic into kindling in a few short posts. Why is this of interest to me? Because before I got to the comments I spent about five minutes trying to figure out where they hid WoW on their bleeding chart….

Quite coincidentally, however, I happened to see The Game only two days ago, and it was my first viewing. I can imagine that it seemed complex or deep or something when it was released, but in today’s context — America calving off into the sea like a great economic glacier — it seems almost absurd, if not insulting. Just how far does one have to go to put an insanely rich man in touch with his innerness?

Posted 14 Feb 2009 at 9:44 ¶Oo, go Thad! Funnily enough, I understand the distinction between MMOs and VWs, in a ‘I know em when I see em’ kind of way. But I also think it is possible to explain this in a more graceful manner, including better use of the shift key.
