    I think it's that with that one title "Exploding Kittens" - those guys managed to capture both the cat and the anti-cat markets in one fell swoop. The Oatmeal was just the (big-ass) neutron that started the chain reaction...

    Ouya Apologizes to Early Adopters

    I think that's if you got one of the first ones that rolled off the line and not the retail editions. I got one of the last-week backer Limited Editions and I have had zero problem with the controller. No sticking buttons, the side plates are VERY secure and I have not experienced controller lag.

    The Growing Geek iPhone Backlash

    I think the backlash is more toward AT&T than Apple. I have to admit that if the iPhone were released for Verizon, I'd have one in a heartbeat (as a matter of fact, I'll be getting a wi-fi only iPad once Froyo comes out and I can use it as a hotspot for the iPad :) )

    Gaming Addiction Same As Snorting Cocaine

    Lesse, $300-$600 every 5 or 6 years, plus $20 month (gamefly subscription) or $60 every few weeks... A lot less expensive than the $10,000 or so for a half-kilo of coke per year? yeah, I'll stick with gaming
