While mucking about the internet I looked up a game on Wikipedia, and found this paragraph:

Dune was the first video game to make use of the game cover printed on a sleeve and then slipped over a pre-printed, Virgin Games-branded contents box. Before this game was released the industry printed expensive individual boxes for each and every game or they printed wraps that were glued to a box but that took extra processing time. This sleeve-box combo became the industry standard for video game boxes for the next two decades. The new sleeve-styled box was created by Anthony Mesaros for the US office of Virgin Games. He had created the sleeve design because he wanted to be able to get flashy covers printed in several colors as well as foil and yet create a box that cost significantly less than printing the individual game covers on individual boxes. His new packaging design not only came in at a much lower cost but had required less than half the turnaround time for actual printing.

This is provably false. At best Dune is the first video game to make use of the "game cover printed on a sleeve and then slipped over a box" in the United States - as Europeans had been doing this with their game boxes since at least 1988 (that I can confirm). European releases of MicroProse-titles are the best evidence out there, and I can place this as far back as Sid Meier's Pirates - every 'purple box' of Pirates featured this exact design.

Steve gets a Kidney but I don't even get a tag.
If you buy anything video game related that has a "subscription" you deserve all the bad things that are coming to you.

Subscription models are GAY and RETARDED.

I thought those sort of things were a meme, but I was googling the newest FM and a female classmate said "my boyfriend used to play that thing all day, I told him that if he didn't stop i'd break up with him". Those stories are real.

Fucking hell, codexers have classmates now. You're ruining my safe space, I thought we were all old and decrepit.
I am old and decrepit too, since it's my second time as a student. Don't worry, she's almost a decade younger than me.

Finally, a way to shout racial slurs without my neighbours getting on my case.

Or I'll just fill it with peanuts for an in-game snack.
