Well, to be perfectly fair, we do use it. Just not exclusively. Most cans and bottles and things will have the weight/mass/volume in the imperial units, and then put the metric measurement in parenthesis.

I live in a small town. Great, I'm never going to get it...

Well, Nintendo is at least.

I think I'm going to miss opening Google Reader and seeing over 100 new posts from Engadget alone.

I got a 23 inch LCD monitor, New Super Mario Bros Wii, Borderlands, Left 4 Dead (which i will be trading in for the sequel, which is what I wanted), Angels and Demons (movie), some gift cards, and a stocking full of chocolate.

I'm doing just fine right now, and my phone hasn't been off at all today, that I've noticed.

Just when I thought the idea of Twitter couldn't get any stupider.

Two words: Stock Options

I know everyone else already made the same points, but to have digital distribution fully replace physical games we need:

1. MUCH faster internet so games don't take hours to download.
2. No per-month caps, so gamers don't have to worry about hitting their limits.
3. No DRM, or much less. I can bring my Wii games to a friend's house to play or loan a friend a game if his copy broke. Can't do that with Steam games.
4. Hard drive sizes will need to keep going up (they are, so this point is somewhat taken care of.)

And even then I would still prefer physical disks, for displaying purposes and the satisfaction of actually holding my game.
