Patrick, just wanted to say that you are one of my greatest influences in wanting to potentially pursue a career in games journalism (right up there with Jeff). I appreciate all of the hard work you do, and am always interested in reading what you have to say about some of the more obscure indie games.
99. If you're a lieutenant in an infamous criminal organization, you'll never get to properly finish a chess game.
100. When you're flying a vehicle that's close to catching on fire, the best way to dispose of it is to fly into the air as high as you possibly can and jump out.
101. Anime voice actors galore know how great it is to be a gangster.
My favorite Brad content was the extensive recap of his adventures in Seoul, South Korea on the Bombcast. Listening to the sheer batshit insanity (wrestling-esque opening ceremonies for Starcraft matches! PC Bangs! StarCraft frat houses! Free Powerade!) that goes on in that general area of the world makes me eagerly await my trip to Japan next spring...
Seeing this made me realize that LulzSec has become nothing more than a bunch of petty, spineless hackers bent on being dicks on the Internet just because the ones they may have (or not, as the case may be) in real life are too small or nonexistent.
Say what you will about Anonymous, but know that at the very least, they're going after groups that are ACTUALLY bad, like Scientology and the Westboro Baptist Church. They're nonviolent protestors who are fighting for the continued freedom of information on the Internet worldwide (which, if you haven't heard, has been threatened as of late). Whenever they do something "for teh lulz" nowadays, they usually don't attack an innocent target, as it threatens their public image.
LulzSec, on the other hand, has no real cause or movement behind them. They're just a bunch of immature hackers who are pretending to recreate "Hackers" just so that they can imagine making out with Angelina Jolie.
I was waiting in line at my college's dining hall one time and saw that the guy behind me was wearing a Lincoln Force shirt (I was wearing mine as well). I basically just said, "Oh hey, Lincoln Force! Nice!" and that was it.
