Mountain Dew is Pepsi, Powerade is Coca-Cola. Mixing Pepsi and Coke is crazy talk!

I was fascinated by Valkyrie, particularly by von Stauffenberg's story and your efforts to present a historically accurate story. Are there any interesting bits that didn't make it into the final film, but you wish had?

I just have to say, I am surprised at reddit. OUYA is a tough experiment, and I think Julie and co. deserve a little kudos for their accomplishment just for making it to production.

Going into Kickstarter, it was made very clear that a finished product may never materialize. And having seen upstarts like the Phantom disappear in the wind, and even established companies like Sega fizzle with the Dreamcast, you have to realize that a) the gaming industry is one of the hardest out there and b) investors lose out ALL THE TIME. And, btw, Kickstarters are not investors, nor consumers, or participants - Kickstarters are the side-lines. Kickstarter makes that very clear, any idea that the company owes you something is delusional.

And now OUYA's are showing up on doorsteps, which is incredible. Yes, there have been hiccups along the way, and yes that is disappointing. But here we had a chance to get some candid responses about the future of this exciting team, and all I see are petulent children throwing a tantrum.

It's a low day for reddit.

I have one one of the controllers and I have played with it. I can confirm that Joystiq is full of it. Yes, if I REALLY try hard (I mean mashing as hard as possible) I can make a button stick. But the buttons have not, and I sincerely doubt they ever will, stuck during normal gameplay. The controller is actually pretty good. Cheers!

As an international project Rosetta has cost over 10 years and close to $2 billion. I am curious what we can expect as a return on investment? What are we hoping to find on the comet and how will that knowledge benefit us in the future?
