Q:
How do you calculate the minimum date between a cell and TODAY() in a single step?
I need to calculate the minimum date between a cell and TODAY, but somehow the MIN function is failing me. Here's the demonstration.
If I calculate it on a range, such as =min(A1:A2) it works, but I need to do it inline, I don't have a range to check. If I try to calculate it on comma separated values, it returns an integer =min(A1,TODAY()) --> 41824 ?
I'm puzzled, what am I missing?
A:
41824 is Google's date serial number for July 4, 2014 - can be formatted as Date to see this. (The minimum date from today, if not yet reached, would seem always to be the maximum - most recent - date.)
Select the cell and click "Format -> Number -> Date".

Rik,
Our government isn't perfect and we don't always make 'righteous' decisions, but we have stood up to evil time and time again from fighting a Civil War to make "men free" to fighting a militant German Empire in 2 World Wars and then standing up to some murderous Communist regimes that butchered and enslaved millions of people worldwide. In those wars, cold and hot, we no doubt killed some innocents. The alternative would be to "turn the other way", not do anything and end up with many more innocents dead.
.
We do the best we can but do not have the power God has, only the limited power that He has entrusted us to use as wisely as is humanly possible.. Freedom and Truth is from God. In the words of the "Battle Hymn of he Republic" 'His truth goes marching on!'

Just some minutes ago I read in an European newspaper a columnist's statement: "The relations between the US and Russia are at the moment more dangerous than during the Cold War." To decide who will the best candidate to deal with our very, very troubled world would not be more important than the sexual behaviour, or attitude towards prevarication, of candidate A or B? Just asking.

In the early 1970's, Trudeau Sr. provided free rail passes to Canadian youth so that they could see our wonderful country. Since many of them were not working, and had little money, there were also free campgrounds. One of them was in Jasper, where I worked at the time. The residents of Jasper remember those campgrounds as places for parties, drugs, and the first place to look for a stolen bicycle.

How do you compare the two? Seriously? Are Canadians this silly to think that Canadian companies are on the same level as Chinese companies? Or China for that matter. For starters, Canada is a country where rule of law is a thing that exists. So even starting from that point you can't compared Canadian and Chinese business. This is the kind of naivety I'm talking about. It's bad for this country and embarrassing.

Because jobs are far more important than having a thriving ecosystem for generations to come. Oh wait, we don't care about future generations at the expense of shareholder profits. Sorry, I forgot.
Meanwhile in Europe, they're planning an artificial island in the middle of the North Sea to serve as a hub for a gigantic offshore wind farm, with connections to all the countries bordering the North Sea.

- pray for Canadian dollar to tank more than the duties we have to pay
- raise wages for everyone at plant commensurate with minimum wage increase
- raise price to account for wage and utility increase- hope it flies
- pay accountant to figure out carbon tax stuff and potential offshore tax structuring
- hope the 10 year recession cycle is just an urban myth

The article states that Jillian has experienced a decrease in performance, but, as we all can attest, a decrease in performance can be attributable to multiple factors aside from hormonal changes such as age and many within the control of the athlete such as a reduction in the frequency and intensity of training. While your point about European women raising the competitive bar is accurate, it was raised under the assumption that they didn't not have a biological/chemical advantage that could only be obtained by their fellow athletes by breaking the rules. Mental toughness is a part of every sport, but when a competitor potentially possesses a biologically physical advantage that another competitor could only obtain by cheating, the impact chips away at the implied level playing field. While I appreciate the desire to accommodate Jillian, is it being done at the detriment of biologically natural women and girls?

It has been discovered that several scientists have been working on human/animal hybrids in their lab in secret for quite some time in England. This scientists have been censored for the ethic implications of the whole thing.
The ethical analysis of the whole thing is very interesting, and you can debate it whether is morally right to create such a being under the pretenses of advancing medical fields. And while I do believe there is much to worry about if this blurs the line of what human rights means or the sanctity of life, a bigger concern arises: I want my fucking Gadget now.
What? We where all 6 at one point, right?
No, shut up! You mean you guys had been doing fuckin' mutants in a lab somewhere for the last 3 years, and you didn't think: "Hey, maybe we need to be creating a Spider-Man."? Like " Maybe, we're living in a year that starts with 2 Thousand, and we're still without Tigersharks. Maybe we oughta be working on that."
I mean, I'm not one to play God, but if you must play God, go for the win! Embrace it! Ask for funding for the mutanimals project, I'm sure I would put some money down to see Ray Fillet in real life.
I want to see this "embryos". Show me them. You can't be this selfish. Do you think I buy the excuse that you where making manimals just because you cared about vaguely advancing fields of science? You where creating Mona Lisa, weren't you?! Share, dudes. Share.

He now has as many rookie of the month awards as Nylander, Marner, Matthews and Werenski, with the March award still to go. Werenski's chance to shine, as it looks as if Winn and Your Leafs, toast.
Had Laine not missed, what, 8 games cuz of injury, he's 'bout 8/9 pts up on Matthews in scoring and wins the rookie of the year award, assuming past trends continue, leaving Brit Selby as the last Your Leaf to win the rookie, an obvious misread as Bert Marshall shoulda won.

Decades ago my uncle, a recovering alcoholic, ran a group for professional men in Toronto. After hearing stories from a number of pilots he never flew again. What problem could any pilot, transport truck driver or train engineer possibly have with blowing into a breathalizer before taking control of a large piece of equipment? It just becomes routine like putting on your uniform and would certainly at least modify the behavior of the closet drinkers to either not get behind the controls or get help. However, the unions would have to get behind it since it would be considered an infringement of individual rights.

Let's avoid another 100 posts about abortion. Can we, at least, acknowledge that both medical science and most religions in the world do not view the start of life in the same way as what is articulated here. Add to this that even catholic politicians must govern in a pluralistic society and aim for the common good - not the position of the catholic church. Would recommend that folks go back a few months and re-read what Cathy Kaveny wrote at dotCommonweal - essentially, too many catholics have an almost *cultic* viewpoint when it comes to contraception or even abortion and that cultic viewpoint violates Dignitatis Humanae from VII.

How can we debate this bill (or any bill, for that matter) when we don't know what it contains? Nancy Pelosi was 100% correct when she pointed this out. A bill has to be passed in order to find out what's in it. Few Legislators ever read entire bills. I think one actually read the so-called "Patriot" Act. At this point, all we know is what the media has allowed us to learn. I'm sure there is a lot more to the bill than what the media has reported thus far. And even if this version were to pass the Senate, it would have to be remanded to the House for reconciliation with its version.
Thus far, I have seen no provision that contains cost. Isn't that the chief complaint of the ACA?

David, your response is thoughtful and historically true. the Democrats seem to think that more and more taxes are "fiscally responsible." If that was the case why not tax everything at 100%. It is the same as minimum wage. If it works why not make minimums $200 an hour?
Every study, left right and center show lowering corporate tax rates a) increases the amount of investment and job creation business make in the country reducing rates b) return jobs moved offshore by companies.
Democrat mayors and governors frequently boast about tax breaks given to business to encourage them to stay or come back. Those tax breaks "cost" lots of money. the double standard and hypocrisy of them attacking Trump for doing the same thing nationally is amazing

[the average homeowner will see a $131 reduction in property taxes in 2018]

[A car owner who drives 10,000 miles a year, at 23 miles to the gallon, will pay an estimated $43 more annually for gas]
I have a hobby of finding old low mileage cars for daily drivers. My last car was seventeen years old and only 24k miles on it but it only gets 19 mpg in the city. So what does that mean I'll be paying more like $50 more? And what if I finally switch over to electric? That Tesla Model S is looking nicer by the day though I'll probably have to spring the $5k or so for a new battery pack. Won't that just be lovely for the municipal books if half the residents switched to electric? I wonder if there is still a $7,500 federal tax incentive to buying an electric car...

Of course. Marx was a philosopher, not a statesman. Like Malikane, his ideas are best kept in the realms of academia, philosophy and wishful thinking. But ideas and philosophies can and should be judged by those who have attempted to implement them in the real world. That's the true test of ideas. These countries failed because politicians were so blinded by ideology and became so dogmatic that they refused to learn from history, employed no common sense, sought power and war rather than peace and prosperity, became corrupt and ruthless rather than seeking the common good, and were prepared to sacrifice the lives of the masses for their "revolution". Should Marx be blamed for that? No, but history allows us to put a big fat question mark behind his ideas.
Is John Maynard Keynes to blame for the great depression and the current great recession? Of course not. But his ideas too can be tested by those who implemented them. And we can put a big question mark behind Keynesian economics too.

Great questions. I was pretty young, but I think i was opposing the war by the time LBJ resigned. As a family we were anti-war early as my brother is 5 years older, in college, but illegible for the draft.
And then you had the social changes that were a response to the very high conformity in the work world in the 50's and fathers that worked long hours, then feminism, which again allowed women much more opportunity for life choices, but removed an important support for their children if the father didn't pick up the slack, and most didn't.
I've thought for a couple of decades that world war has to be out of consideration, I doubt anybody wants to start a nuclear conflict between the major nations. Putin is an ass, corrupt, violent, and willing and able to use his KBG background to control dissent. I have no problem with the Russian people, but I do not like having allies with corrupted values. Trump wants his company to build in Russia, that the basis for interest.

Ignis, questa: non sia disposto a rinnegare il proprio orientamento sessuale riportata in voce dopo il tuo ripristino, è una bufala. Quell IP anonimo, che non conosco ha ragione. Ora considera che questa dovrebbe essere la fonte a cui fai riferimento nel campo oggetto, ma se la leggi non fa nessun riferimento al tema principale, ma all essere disassociati (o all esplusione). Ma il problema per i tdG non è se è giusto disassociare un componente che pratica l omosessualità la cui risposta è SI e in voce viene detto ma se sia disposto a rinnegare il proprio orientamento sessuale, cosa che i tdG non si sognerebbero mai di consigliare, e infatti non troverai nessuna loro pubblicazione che asserisce una panzanata simile. Troverai invece che se un giovane si sente attratto dallo stesso sesso (cosa che non contempla nessuna disassociazione) deve chiedere aiuto questo è il punto di vista dei tdG, quello in voce è un POV, o meglio una vera mistificazione del loro punto di vista.Fcarbonara (msg)

The gun people usually have all the answers except they continually fail society because innocent people continue to get routinely and almost daily killed in a mass shooting now.
You want to talk about blood on my hands, try looking in the mirror.
You also always ask other members of society to solve what is fundamentally your problem since you advocate for more and more guns as the answer to the conundrum.

So your sister, who does not comment here, had a divorce which you judge to be easy and without real merit, sets the standard for all your thinking regarding marriage? Tell you what, get married, have some kids, do your best. Then let your spouse drink away everything that means anything in a marriage. No, you do not get to keep her in line with whatever you think, believe, hope, pray will change things. Finally, after years of illness, upset, chaos, confusion, lies and cheating and having gone through a thorough spiritual exercise, you take what's left of the kids and leave the marriage. Later, after a long time of "quiet contemplation" and more rigorous spiritual work you are blessed by God above to meet and to love someone; another struggling, broken soul. You marry and try to put the pieces of your life back together.
Then see how you like being judged by armchair saints. If I have to take communion from the many judgmental folks here I'll decline and face my God without fear.

Coronado Apartments
The Coronado Apartments are an apartment building located on 3751–73 Second Avenue (on the corner of Second and Selden) in Midtown Detroit, Michigan. It was designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1980 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
History
The Coronado Apartments were built in 1894 by George D. Nutt, a prominent Detroit builder, and the architectural firm of William S. Joy & Company. The building was one of the first apartment buildings in Detroit built for affluent middle class citizens at a time when apartment living was just becoming socially acceptable. The Coronado remained a fashionable address until the 1930s, when declining demand for large apartments, and increased demand for smaller units, led the Coronados owners to divide the formerly spacious apartments in two. No further renovation was done until 1982, when the owners began a restoration and remodeling project.
Architecture
The Coronado is a four-story Romanesque apartment building built on a high basement. It is constructed of yellow brick and rusticated sandstone with a flat roof and architecturally designed elevations on both the Second and Selden avenues sides. The Second Avenue façade is primarily symmetrical, with three entrances and open loggias on the floors above each. The façade is terminated at the south end by a curved bay window and at the north (Selden) corner by a round turret. The building is divided horizontally, with rusticated sandstone forming the outer walls up through the second story, and yellow brick above. A broad cornice and wide panelled brick frieze, pierced with ventilation holes, tops the building.

This shows up the problems in the ANC. Nobody has the gumption to stand up to The Arch criminal Zuma who runs the party as if it his own. He disregards the fact that he is there to lead a party that serves at the will of the people and for the people. His own members fear him, either because they are frightened to lose the corrupt money they are receiving and/or facilitating, or they fear for their jobs and livelihood. Even those that oppose him and disagree with what he does are frightened to take a stand and collectively overrule him. The country waits with bated breath for the day he is kicked out and put in prison where he belongs, and it would not be a surprise if his party is the one which finally finds the courage to say no more and pushes for him to be charged

Unfortunately, Rick ethnic Hawaiians are over-represented in homelessness or living in marginal situations that could lead to homelessness.
Is homelessness and its related problems only an ethnic Hawaiian problem? No it isn't. It is a condition that results from career legislators (of a single party persuasion), which favors OVERdevelopers, poliTICS and other POWERbrokers.

The Russians had a plan when they installed a stooge to run the Ukrainian government, Yanukovych.
They wanted to steal land.
They had Manafort helping them. Today, Yanukovych is living in Russia, under threat of being tried for high treason if he returns to Ukraine. We have Manafort and Trump doing the same thing here in the US, so that Russia can gain the upper hand, or at least not have the US stop their plans. It is getting more and more evident that Trump and Manafort and some others are really traitors.
I look for Trump to fire Mueller soon. Putin wants as much disruption in the American power structure so he can carry out his next step, whatever that will be.
This is illuminating how disgustingly power hungry the Republican Party is, other than a few. Trump was right to guess they would go along with absolutely any injury to America, if it meant they could get richer and hurt poor people.

Q:
LINQ filtering on data only works during debug
I am working with an N-Tier solution built around Entity Framework Code First and ASP.NET MVC 5.
I have the following ActionResult in my Artist Controller.
public ActionResult Paintings(string urlfriendly)
{
var artist = _artistService.GetArtistByUrlFriendly(urlfriendly);
ArtistPaintingsVM vm = Mapper.Map<ArtistPaintingsVM>(artist);
return View(vm);
}
That service eventually arrives here:
public Artist GetArtistByUrlFriendly(string urlFriendly)
{
var artist = _context.Artists.FirstOrDefault(a => a.UrlFriendly == urlFriendly && a.Verified);
if (artist != null)
{
artist.Paintings = _context.Paintings.Where(p => p.ArtistId == artist.Id && p.Verified).ToList();
}
return artist;
}
When I step through that code, I get the desired result. I get the two verified paintings by that artist. However when I run the application without debugging I get all three paintings of the artist, even though one of them is not verified!
My code above, should only return paintings that are verified, and it does in debug, but not in normal running mode.
Here is the data seeding code:
public class DXIntializer : DropCreateDatabaseAlways<DXContext>
{
protected override void Seed(DXContext context)
{
try
{
var artists = new List<Artist>
{
new Artist { FName = "Salvador", LName = "Dali", ImgURL = "http://i62.tinypic.com/ss8txxn.jpg", UrlFriendly = "salvador-dali", Verified = true }
};
artists.ForEach(a => context.Artists.Add(a));
context.SaveChanges();
var paintings = new List<Painting>
{
new Painting { Title = "The Persistence of Memory", ImgUrl = "http://i62.tinypic.com/xx8tssn.jpg", ArtistId = 1, Verified = true },
new Painting { Title = "Swans Reflecting Elephants", ImgUrl = "http://i62.tinypic.com/aa9tssn.jpg", ArtistId = 1, Verified = true },
new Painting { Title = "Crucifiction", ImgUrl = "http://i62.tinypic.com/qq0tssn.jpg", ArtistId = 1, Verified = false }
};
paintings.ForEach(p => context.paintings.Add(p));
context.SaveChanges();
}
catch (DbEntityValidationException ex)
{
foreach (var validationErrors in ex.EntityValidationErrors)
{
foreach (var validationError in validationErrors.ValidationErrors)
{
Trace.TraceInformation("Property: {0} Error: {1}", validationError.PropertyName, validationError.ErrorMessage);
}
}
}
}
}
What am I doing wrong?
A:
If Paintings property of the Artist class is virtual, e.g.
public virtual List<Painting> Paintings { get; set; }
make it non-virtual (turn off lazy loading), like so:
public List<Painting> Paintings { get; set; }
This fix should get your code going. If it is already non-virtual, please reveal the source code of these entities to help us understand the problem.
Explanation + Few Recommendations
N-Tier solutions built using Entity Framework would most likely involve serialization of entities. In your case, the service (wcf or web api I suppose) used to retrieve data would serialize the Artist object and pass it on to the UI tier. Now, lazy loading and serialization don't mix well. When serializer accesses the Paintings property, it ends up loading all paintings belonging to the artist because of lazy loading. While debugging, try this : DO NOT check \ hover on artist object at all, also remove it from watch, set a breakpoint on return artist; statement. Hit F5, when execution pauses at the return statement, explore artist object, you should see all three paintings. Make sure there is NOTHING which triggers evaluation of the Paintings property before you assign value to it.
It is a good practice to declare navigation properties like so : public List<Painting> Paintings { get; private set; } This enforces the recommended way of using navigation properties. i.e. You can either add or remove item from collection, however, you cannot assign a new collection. It is important to initialize such properties in the default constructors as follows:
public class Artist
{
public List Paintings { get; private set; }
public Artist()
{
this.Paintings = new List();
}
}
When you turn off lazy loading, you must explicitly load related entities.
In your case, instead of directly assigning values to the Paintings property, you should rather do the following:
db.Entry<Artist>(artist)
.Collection(a => a.Paintings)
.Query()
.Where(p => p.Verified)
.Load();
It will only load verified paintings of the specified artist (lazy loading should be off).

BioShock Infinite type Video Games
One of the most hotly anticipated games of 2013 is BioShock Infinite, a dark steampunk adventure set in an alternate-universe in 1912 on the flying city of Columbia. It’s the first game that designer Ken Levine has completed since the first BioShock, the Ayn-Rand-Goes-to-Atlantis megahit that is still widely regarded as one of the great achievements in modern gaming. EW got to play the first few hours of Infinite, and then we spoke to Levine about exploring mature themes, the violent videogame controversy, and how Dungeons & Dragons saved his sanity. BioShock Infinite is set for a March 26 release on Windows, PlayStation 3, and XBox 360.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I noticed that this game is really pushing some serious issues with the American Exceptionalism theme. Early on you deal with religion and racism; what motivates you to explore these deeper themes?
KEN LEVINE: It’s not like we say: ‘Let’s open the deeper themes closet.’ It’s more like we have a story we want to tell and that story takes us to wherever it takes us. We started with the time period and then we started with characters and their motivations and their views on the world. With racism, it was very hard to tell a story in this time period that didn’t deal with that issue. As much as racism still exists, it was so overt back then that you could not miss it. Just go by a bathroom: “coloreds” and “whites,” “no Irish need apply,” those were all real. Let alone the minstrel shows, which was very out there.
I thought it was really subtle the way you see the “colored” bathroom first, and it’s horrible, and then later you find the “whites” bathroom and it’s pristine, beautiful. It’s such a nice atmospheric touch.
Yeah, there are very overt moments of racism and then there’s the more subtle. If you come up to the guy sweeping the floor in one of the bathrooms, he’s like, “You’re going to get us both in trouble if you talk to me.” That nervousness he obviously has. “You’re not supposed to be in this sh***y place, you’re supposed to be in the nice place.” And it’s those little touches you can do in a game. And the reason they’re interesting or meaningful is because you discover them. That second bathroom is not on the critical path; you could have missed it completely. But I think it’s actually rewarding when you find it on your own.
It’s no problem for a movie or a TV show to deal with this kind of thing, but it actually almost felt a little shocking seeing it in a video game. I’ve always found a lot of stories very disposable, and obviously that is the opposite of what your game is trying to do. Do you think people are going to be shocked by this or people are going to take a headline and completely distort it?
I think there’s three reason why it comes across as shocking as it does. One of which is, it’s just shocking material in general, what was going on in that time period. And not all across that time period, there were certain parts of the world that were much better and certain parts that were much worse, just like there is today. Then there’s the notion that it’s a video game, you’re sort of not expecting it in the medium, which to me is a shame. Not racism in particular, but just the fact that we feel theme-restricted. And then there’s the third, the nature of it being a video game, the fact that you have agency in these moments, I think makes it even more shocking because you don’t have that protective layer of passivity. So when we have that scene with the baseball, [Early in the game, you attend a carnival and enter a raffle where the winner gets to throw a ball. It turns out you have to decide whether to throw the ball at a bound interracial couple, as the crowd demands, or throw it at the announcer.] The reason we thought it was so important to confront you with that choice was because it said you’re not an observer here, you have to be active, you’re in this world, and you can’t just close your eyes.
And it’s timed, so there’s even greater urgency.
We don’t have a giant sort of morality system running underneath that tracks all your things and gives you extra powers. I mean there are small changes, like I don’t know which one you chose.
To throw it at the bad guy!
I ‘ve never seen a single person [throw it at the couple].
I can’t imagine! It’s horrifying to think the way that The Walking Dead [game] tracks the stats, it’d be horrifying to see what that would actually be.
I’ve seen nobody do it. What’s interesting is people say to me, what is the moral effect of that, and there is a small effect, meaning that, you probably met the couple later on [If you choose not to throw the ball at the couple, they later meet you and give you a gift as thanks], but that’s very small to me. To me the interesting part is how it makes you feel in all of it. That’s the moral effect, not some number. I wasn’t really interested in a morality system, versus just moments where we confront people with hard or weird or dangerous choices. So I think it’s effective for those reasons. Certainly The Walking Dead is a really interesting example of games that are starting to explore a more interesting range of elements, but we just pursue the things that we’re interested in.
One of the big things I picked up on [in the original BioShock] was the relationship between the Big Daddies and the Little Sisters. It made Big Daddy kind of an iconic character. He’s in Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale, which is supposed to be these huge characters from the last few years. I’m wondering what you think character-wise might resonate to that degree from Infinite.
I don’t think there’s any one-to-one thing. I think Songbird [a huge winged creature that guards Elizabeth’s prison] has a different role. Elizabeth—people are already cosplaying her left and right—once they actually get through the experience and go through the game with her, I think their feelings for her will get much deeper. And she’ll surprise you in many ways, some good and some bad. These things have an effect on her, and she changes throughout the course of the game. She was certainly the most important to me when I was writing the game. She’s sort of the emotional center of it. I think that she is something quite different than what you see in a lot of games.
The only other game I can think of that did this kind of non-playable character was Half-Life 2 with the Alyx [Vance] character, to whom a lot of people really responded.
I think there was game called Enslaved [Ninja Theory’s 2010 action-adventure game] that did a reasonably good job with the character, but I just can’t wait for the game to come out cause I just want people to see Booker and Elizabeth go through their path, their journey through this game and see where they end up.
When I was in high school was when Mortal Kombat hit Genesis and Super Nintendo, and obviously there was a huge uproar over the violence, and that’s been a huge issue in the media lately following the Newtown shootings. Vice President Biden is looking into it, and Tennessee Senator Lamar Alexander recently said video games are “a bigger problem than guns.” Why do you think the industry is such a punching bag for this kind of thing?
Independent of any science or reality or anything, any new form of media is going to be not understood, generally by people who are older. Go back to when the novel first appeared on the scene. It was shocking! People thought that when women were reading it, young wives were reading it and getting all these crazy ideas…
Putting notions in their heads!
Exactly, it was scandalous, and people were like, the novel has to be stopped. The mandarins of taste were up in arms, and the list goes on. Rock and roll music, jazz music, comic books, movies, TV, everything is lesser and not art and not meaningful in some way. And at the same time, Dungeons & Dragons, that movie with Tom Hanks [CBS’ 1982 made-for-TV movie Mazes and Monsters] where people would play Dungeons & Dragons and go insane. It’s heartbreaking for me because as a young kid, I have to say Dungeons & Dragons…I can’t say it saved my life, but it saved my sanity as a kid because I was a friendless little nerd. I was literally friendless, until the ninth grade. And then I was on the bus driving home from school one day and I heard a couple of kids in the front of the bus talking about, “My paladin fought these orcs…” and I was like, what?! And I went up and I introduced myself, and two weeks later I was at a Dungeons & Dragons game with people who would–one of whom would remain my best friend to this day–and it completely transformed my–all of a sudden I had found my people, you know? And to think that that could be viewed as a source of evil is so disappointing and depressing to me.
At the end of the day, science is science, I don’t think research is ever a bad thing. Without video games, without gaming in general, I don’t know where I would end up. I don’t know what I would be. And I’m not talking about like would I be a big success. I don’t know how I would have gotten through high school. Games saved me over and over again. When I had a career in my 20s that was going nowhere, games came in and saved me again. I became a game developer. And for kids–I don’t want to say this is necessarily true of you—nerdy kids with not a lot of social skills, games are a socializing element. Go to PAX, my god. It’s incredibly social. And I think the lack of understanding people have about how most people play games, and how they think about games, is really lacking, and how important it is to kids who don’t have strong social skills.
I love the part where Elizabeth pulls open the tear and you see the La revanche du Jedi sign [Early in the game, Elizabeth opens a portal to another time where you see Revenge of the Jedi (Its original title before Return) playing at a movie theater in Paris], and I was just wondering if she would be able to open it to like 2015 and see if the new Star Wars is gonna be any good?
Well, she knows, actually. She’s starting a blog about it right now. She’s expressing her rage–her nerd rage. She knows, but she’s not telling.
