it was pathetic they mentoined about showing a little coverage about it. Then after about 30 minutes they finally showed only like a minute. It was pathetic, though they did show some. It was for the super 7.

So?


Big whoop. Becoming "mainstream" what's so great about that? Didn't know a fancy new media label would instantly make the game 10 fold more enjoyable.

I'll guarantee you this though, everybody that keeps pushing mainstreamness are ignoring the other side of the spectrum. With more people comes more idiots. And more accidents.

And quite possibly we won't be so squeeky clean and safe anymore when every month another kid loses an eye, unscrews a tank that had an antisiphon installed improperly, and so forth.

There's a whole other monster just laying in the closet right now that everybody is overlooking or ignoring.
