    I agree with this for the most part; another problem is the vast distances (30+ minutes) many people travel to and from the entertainment districts. Very few people live within a 1…

    Would you say that Tunisia is safer than Morocco? I visited Morocco a few years back and loved it; I wanted to extend my trip to Tunisia, but I was told by a few people that I woul…

    I think the people doing the 2-year-hop are the ones with a lot of inbound interest. The last two jobs I've had (including my current job) came to me through a direct inquiry from …

    > If freemium were generally just a demo for a better game It's not, and no one ever said it was. The demo analogy isn't valid; a free-to-play game is a fully functional game. IAPs…
