There was a commercial for a board game?

This is the only board game commercial that matters.

The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

So I have to ask.  If "Zynga is dying" as the OP states, why the hell am I seeing Zynga merchandise tie-ins at my local store?  Or did Hasbro just like...absorb Zynga like a festering ooze or something?  What's the deal, man?  This thread is about 3 months old at this point and Zynga is - or at least many of their intellectual properties are - clearly still around.

More recent news on Zynga, just a few days old. They got into online gambling, which has been their savior.

Fascinating.  The company's evolving.  So did they sell some of the "waning" properties to Hasbro or what?

Also, I'd like to point out something.  Nintendo used to be a card company.  Unless you're a dedicated video game nerd or history buff, you probably wouldn't know that.

Possibly. They're a big proponent of legalizing online gambling in the US, though that'll increase competition since they would no longer need to work overseas.

I knew that! They used to produce hanafuda cards, and as a nod to that, you can pick up a set of Mario-themed hanafuda cards as a Club Nintendo reward.

Yeah, let's get this right, people:

Extreme: a highest degree or furthest point from moderation.
Xtreme: totally radical.
XXXTreme: porn parody of the HBO series.

Also re: Disney buying Hasbro - I imagine at some point, Disney will pay $2 trillion to the rest of humanity for the rights to bright colours, and the rest of us will walk around in greyscale for our adult lives.

Well, until the next Iron Man film, of course.
