Is it just me, or is it a lot harder to imagine a world without Billy Mays than a world without Michael Jackson? It has effectively been a Michael-free world for quite a while now, while I was watching Billy Mays on TV less than four hours before I heard that he’d died…
Bye bye, [...]

If you are even considering buying Madworld, rent the tedious, infantile thing first.
I played it for exactly 38 minutes before I got bored. Less than 24 hours later I’m trying to sell it at no more than a $30 loss.

A note on America-centric news reporting.
