I live in Silicon Valley, and sometimes I wonder if someone's putting something in our water. For instance, one of our local folks, who evidently treated his agorophobia by playing "Resistance: Fall of Man," has sued Sony for stealing money from him as a result of Sony's banning him from the game. ...
