We have something similar at Microsoft... but only on the SQL team. It's called 'No Meeting Wednesdays', while it's not really a goof off day, it does let you focus entirely on whatever you want to focus on for an entire (relatively) uninte

And for 6.99 nobody is going to buy it. I've been a FF fan since I played the first one on Nintendo decades ago but unless squareenix keeps their pricing in line with everyone else I'm not going to buy their shit. Much like I haven't bought

mquander's response took the words out of my mouth. Video games, or anything else mentioned as an alternative to video games in this article, are things you do after you take care of the other necessities of life. It was clear from the arti

That's a very life stylist point of view. Who's to say that exercising, producing useful things to society, or social interaction is in ANY way "better" than spending your days playing video games? I for one am an avid gamer and I would rat

Best Buy has always been for the desperate 'NEED IT NOW' person, at least for the people who were computer literate. Even when I worked there in 1999 briefly I only bought the stuff that got returned and had a super low 'open box' price...
