My story is almost exactly the same as yours. Unless I'm wanting to watch a Premium video or add a comment below a video, I rarely log in to Giant Bomb so I'm familiar with the non-membership version of the site. Like you, I don't really have a problem with the difference between the two.

EDIT: For completion's sake, I should add that both at home and work, I'm running the latest iteration of Chrome on Mac.

From the source itself, Douglas Adams:

“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so—but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”

The port of the PC version to the PS4 only just came out. Could you be thinking of the original PlayStation version that has been available on PSN as a PS1 Classic (playable on either the PS3 or Vita, but not the PS4) for several years?

Anyway, to answer the original question: replaying this PC version makes me want a remake even more by showing just how poor parts of the original game are when viewed with modern sensibilities.

I had to think for a bit to even remember what guy you were talking about. I don't think I did anything to him, but he ended up dying in the explosion (or follow-up battle) when I threw a lantern into the pool of fuel the other guys were standing in.

Movies just adopted the normal release date as music, which until the recent move to a worldwide "New Release Friday" also used to release Tuesday.

As to why? Saturday and Sunday were ruled out due to customer foot traffic making it tough to devote manpower to receiving and stocking the new material. Retailers and distributors used to not be crazy about the idea of having a release day later in the week as it didn't allow time for a drop shipment of more of a sold-out hot SKU before weekend sales days.

Monday didn't give enough time for the staff to do it, so music (then movies, then games) made Tuesday the unified normal day of release.

I think you're underestimating just how much of the oxygen in the room was used up by Madden.

Wow, Brad's my birthday twin!

Every now and then I'll stumble across an old Quick Look of his and remember just how joyful his giggle was. He could be critical of the gaming medium than the rest of the GB'ers, but his love and excitement for it were unmatched.

Eliza Dushku is available, clearing the path for "Wet 2."

In EA's defense – I can't believe I just typed that – it wouldn't have been able to shut down those developers had other people not chosen to sell their companies. You can argue that the developers who sold did so in order to secure funding, but that means EA's financial-driven closure of them is no better or worse than the dev's original financial-driven decision to sell.

As distasteful as its subject matter is, I would argue that D.W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" is comparable to "Citizen Kane" in influence. It was basically Griffith taking all these randomly-applied techniques of early film-making – the "throwing stuff against the wall to see if it sticks" approach, if you will – and synthesizing them into modern movies.
