just scratching an itch ( tron: legacy )

[jrs]

As flattered as I am by your rekindled, albeit sudden, interest in my affairs, you're only wasting your time.

I'm not so sure kindling an interest should be dismissed as a waste of time.

[jrs]

And what, exactly, would you classify it as?

[ferric]

Join the club.

I think you'll find brushing someone off only intensifies their curiosity.

[jrs]

Ah, so you must be an expert on the matter.

[catalogues]

[ a quiet chuckle. ] I'm an expert on several things, but not this. I'm just speaking from experience.

[jrs]

Would it be rude of me to ask for specifics, in regards to your expertise?

With the new E-player handheld, the new expansions to the Steampunk Arcanum MMO, and Space Paranoids Online, Gaming pulled in about three-hundred and fifty million in profit for the company last year. Beat Microsoft by about a hundred million. Market share could be better, but the competition is stiff.

[amplifying]

Why's that?

[jrs]

Unfortunately, we can't all possess an ample amount of spare time. If we did, then we would have nothing to show for it.
