    The reason there are 4 entries and not 5 isn't because Larry couldn't find one. He cancelled the 5th entry for some stupid reason.

      And to think of all the ruined possibilities gone. Sure, nothing might've come out of it beyond the guy making some money and leaving, but what if that game could've had been his break to glory, and perhaps even the start of a legendary european software developer like Rare itself?
      To think of everything lost... and as a former alcoholic asshole myself, _but doing all off that damage when on top of everything YOU were on the wrong..._ *serious, lady, go fvск yourself.* Poor guy. We will never know what would've happened if she had used her head and just left.

    that last one is the worst one i think =that a drunk smashed up all that hard work. and destroyed the back ups, i have a younger brother who is a jerk and my parents didn't give him enough punishment when he misbehaved, baby of the family, so he grew up to be a violent jerk and he smashed up some of my stuff in a rage because he wanted all of something we had agreed to split-kick starter d&d style miniatures took over two years and he didn't remember our agreement because he is stupid. So i understand how people who don't have control can just smash up something because its not theirs and they don't care those kinds of people are idiots who lack emotional control.

She took custody of my kids. I was mad and got drunk, and when I got home, I smashed the Minecraft 2 build in rage of my divorce.

    No, you could not use an umbrella as a parasol. If the umbrella has no UV-protection layer then the thing only works to block out the heat by a very small margin. You still would have to apply sunscreen if you have to take long walk or are sensitive to strong sunbeams. Most umbrellas have a very thin plastic translucent-like layer and that won't really help if you want to walk "just" in shade (minus the UV-protection).

      He famously said that 2D games were "on the way out" (to be fair, it was the time where everything was making the 3D transition) and that RPGs were "too nerdy" to be popular (he said this in 1997, just a few months before a little known PS1 RPG called Final Fantasy VII was released).

    TimeSplitters still hurts. It had so many features that somehow no other shooter copied 20 years later. Even Multi-player with bots has been slowly dying off, dooming an entire half of most games that come out these days once people move on to the next hot thing. I never knew the reason it was canceled, I assumed it was because of Haze bombing, now I'm even more depressed. I know Deep Silver owns the rights now but I don't exactly trust them with the IP either, and I'm not sure if TSRewind will ever come out either now.

      Also, it's really debatable if they could show more emotions, specially when compared to today.
      And this idea that men can only socially show anger and horniness is ridiculous and comes from hybristophilic andro-attracted women and men.
      Victorian men were pretty much expected to show no emotion, but so were women, things besides awe, intelectual curiosity, piety and similar emotions were "uncool" back on those blasé times.
      Now days it's pretty much only humor/joy and pity which are allowed on social settings for men today and for quite a long while, and only in moderation.
      So much that those emotions are the refuge of low status men, IE, fat and ugly men, who are still within social bounds.
      People outside of social bounds express what ever they want, which usually is anger and sadness for obvious reasons.
