SOPA. It's much ado about pirates. Not the cool kind of pirates who wear eye patches, sail ships, bury treasure and say stuff like yo-ho-ho. No, SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) is about the kind of pirates that suck. SOPA what? If all the cool kids weighed in, would you ...)
Casual Connect 2011: Games Industry Fishbowl?
With Casual Connect, the fish analogy is easy. You're gathered in Seattle, surrounded by the sea, partying in aquariums, and hell, I even roomed with a finned friend this year.
