42	->'''Noah:''' What does that even mean, huh? "[[Film/BigTroubleInLittleChina China is here]]"? I don't even know what the hell that means. All I know is that Europe is ''here'' which is where I gotta find a [[NoExportForYou PAL-format]] Commodore 64 ''with'' a Datassette deck ''with'' a 54 hz PAL monitor and hope to God I find one on [=eBay=] still working after [[TheEighties nineteen-eighty-fuck]]....I'll just hafta pay 6 G's in shipping. And no, I can't use an American Commodore 64, 'cause the framerate'll be all weird and the color'll be all grey.

47	->''I have spent more money on comic books and superhero merchandise than I have on my wedding. I used to mow lawns to pay for comic books. Creator/TimBurton's ''Film/{{Batman\|1989}}'' was the first movie I remember seeing in an American movie theater. I own a [[{{ComicBook/MODOK}} M.O.D.O.K.]] T-shirt, a M.O.D.O.K. action figure, and a M.O.D.O.K. coffee mug. M.O.D.O.K. is not a bandwagon character.

50	->Dan Snyder has turned the Skins into a marketing team that just happens to play football. Season tickets invoices must be paid in full by the end of March and if you're lucky the first home preseason tickets get mailed out a week and a half before the first game in August.

53	->{{Creator/Konami}}’s business model, I believe, adheres to the [[CashCowFranchise People Are Idiots So Let’s Rob Them Blind]] school of economics, whereas {{Creator/Valve}} is from the People Are Smart So Let’s Be Cool To Them school of economics. Imagine if ''Metal Gear Online'' was released as a standalone tomorrow, separate from ''[[VideoGame/MetalGearSolid4GunsOfThePatriots MGS4]]'' and sufficient by itself, and came complete with all three expansion packs, all 8 character slots, and the voice packs (for what they’re worth) for only $15. Don’t you agree that they would make a lot more money than they are with the game now? Not only would it generate a ton of new interest by making headlines, it would flood the game with fresh blood and revive whatever is left of the community. You’d also have to get rid of the requirement to create a Konami ID, and promise to actually patch it more than once every two years, of course. ''[=MGS4=]'' itself is being sold for less than $20 nowadays, but somehow the online bundle found in the Konami Store has remained at an absurdly high price, begging the question of just how clueless and lazy they are.
