Just saw this at the freaking grocery store...  Flashback is right.  I remember Space Invaders and learning that if the power cord was just disconnected enough, you could have two shots firing at once. Earliest memory of an exploit.

One thing for everyone who is a "skeptic" on this issue: Insurance companies are basing their underwriting on the assumption that it is real. They are refusing to write policies on homes that are likely to be in danger from rising seas 20 years from now, even though the resale rate of the homes is so high that they could keep writing policies for another 10 years and still not have to pay out on 1 policy in 5, but that would be irresponsible. Unethical, as well, but that's never stopped anyone before.

It is fairly natural to assume that the fair price for the pot is the fair value of the resources I needed to make the pot plus the fair value of my labor.

<3 Easter Eggs!

Best game ever. 

This was my first video game and first adventure game.  It will always have a special place in my heart.
