News to me. Do you have any articles on this? Searching for "banana right wing" gives me a bunch of articles about Chiquita funding a paramilitary group.

No, those work too. I couldn't possibly exclude examples of such lovely books for children.
Average, but quiet and peaceful life and it's not even close. Being famous sounds like a massive chore.
Yeah, definitely not kid friendly. I'd much rather give them a light-hearted story about puppies, like The Plague Dogs.
Nice try, NSA.
Suits me. I have a ton of movies and TV shows to catch up to.
It's been a while since I've seen the movie (and have no desire to see it again) and I don't remember the scene as clearly, so that's on me. Throwing away the gem was still colossaly stupid, though.
Probably what he meant, yes, but that's not a sequel. I would even hesitate to call it a spiritual successor. It's basically just Civ in spaaaaace.
James Cameron's Titanic. It's marketed as a romantic film, but the moment you start looking at other aspects of the movie, it just seems stupid. The antagonist is so cartoonishly evil, it's a wonder they didn't give him a mustache to twirl.
And then there's the ending. Oh dear lord, the ending. Spoiler warning and all that: at the end of the movie, The Titanic s(t)inks and the passengers try to get to safety. Rose finds a floating door or something to stay afloat and finds Jack swimming in the freezing ocean. Then Jack makes the most non-sensical decision in the entire movie: he sacrifices his own life for no good reason. The plot frames it as a necessary sacrifice, but it totally IS unnecessary, because there was enough room on the stupid door for two people. And then we flash forward to the present, where Rose is old, but still has that gem she wore throughout the movie... and then she tosses it into the ocean. WHY.
Basically the plot boils down to: two young people have a fling on a boat and then the boat sinks. It absolutely did NOT deserve all those academy awards it got that year.
I often use UT, Q3 and CS 1.6 as examples of how long a game can stay active when players are given tools to setup their own servers, as opposed to companies handling multiplayer themselves (and often killing it off in a few years).
Seconding the Blackwell series, with a caveat. The earlier games can be a little rough around the edges, resulting in a few Guide Dang It! moments. Walkthroughs are your friends.
Yes, I'm sure every developer will jump at the chance to develop something for a dying platform.
