"Yes, sir, Mr. Simpson."
"Could you … um … work any harder?"
"Sure thing, boss!"

Once, after an IT guy’s rottweiler died, Schilling presented him with a brand-new pup during an all-staff meeting. There was much applause.

PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling — whose video game company underwent a spectacular collapse into bankruptcy last year — is selling the blood-stained sock he wore during the 2004 World Series.Chris Ivy, director of sports for Texas-based Heritage Auctions, says online bidding begins around Feb. 4. Live bidding will take place Feb. 23.The sock previously had been on loan to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum. It has been at Heritage's Dallas headquarters for several weeks and will be displayed at the auction house's Manhattan office before it is sold, according to Ivy.He said the sock is expected to fetch at least $100,000, though he described that as a conservative estimate.

Yeah, I bought it super-cheap a while back and haven't had the chance to play more than an hour or so, but I was really charmed by what I've seen so far. It was this RPS piece that made me pick it up: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2013/02/26/why-didnt-everyone-play-kingdoms-of-amalur/

It's good, but it's irritatingly buggy; like, entire sidequests can become unplayable because of bugs... (Though the game has literally hundreds of sidequests, so missing a few doesn't feel as bad as it might in some other game.)
Hint: when you get to one of those bulletin boards with missions you can accept (mostly in Warsworn fortresses, but they're elsewhere too), accept all three missions at once! Because if you accept only one mission, and later on return to get the other two, they may not work anymore.

In the end, with warnings like these apparently ignored by the staff, only one of the 13 board members voted against the investment in 38 Studios. That lone dissenter was Kurt Wadensten, who owns Vibco, one of the country’s main manufacturers of industrial vibrators.

When the recreational and medical vibrators just won't do, you really do have to move up to the industrial models.
