Did anyone every take them up on that offer?

I vaguely remember the now-useless US federal government requiring employees to pay for toilet paper because it was too broke, and sending memorandums reminding them to absolutely not deface US currency by wiping their rear end with the billion-dollar Reagan notes that were cheaper than TP squares. drat I need to reread that novel.

The early chapter about the girl's mom who is a fed and it talks about how the government tracks how long you read each email. Too slow and you're old, inefficient and worthy of being fired. Too fast and you're labeled as an arrogant prick who thinks they know everything.
I laughed and laughed about how ridiculous that sounded

Then I got a job as a fed.

Sort of like The Thing prequel: they had a lot of practical effects in the can, but they looked like poo poo.

No they didn't. In fact, almost every shot had a full puppet that was then overlayed in CG to make it look "more videogamey".

I think a lot of CGI making GBS threads is because of the Star Wars 1-3. It was just so sterile and uninteresting, movie fans are nervous that we are going to see more of that crap.

Avatar was not a very good movie but the CG was very well done without being plastic and homogeneous.

I once found an SD card on my way home and really wanted to see what was on it. The only "secure" device was an un-networked Wii so I plugged it in and was treated to 17.8 GB of BBW porn. I put in back where I found it the next day.

I had a Public Policy professor that, on the first day, handed out a 10 page "Pre-test" that said in huge letters on the top READ EVERYTHING BEFORE DOING ANYTHING.
It started off normally but at a few points it would instruct you to declare to the class "I am going to ace this test!" or "Throw your pencil in the air and catch it" among other things.
At the very end it said, "Ignore everything else. Quietly put down the test and your pencil and sit silently until everyone is finished".

Seemed like a funny way for the professor to figure out who is observant and who do not exercise critical thinking.

I watched a video where a soldier was standing immediately next to an enemy and got like a 41% chance of hitting them with a shot.

They missed

The devs talked about how they changed aiming. They said to consider all actions happening simultaneously (because a real fight is not turn based) and nothing happens in a vacuum. So, if you ran right up to a guy that you were fighting and shoved a rifle right into his chest, there is a reasonable chance that he could just bat it away with his hand.

Its the same logic for most tabletop RPGs: If you shoot someone in melee range, you have to get past their melee defense because they're not just going to let that happen.
