Verdict: amen!
The merciless bounty hunter spots his quarry looming in the distance and raises his sonic blaster to …. Good idea, cause its big and mean-looking brute. Hunter checks the wind, sights the alien, looks over his weapon, and….
As he turns on his really big gun, a screen appears announcing that a software update is required before it can murder anything. After many futile attempts to skip this update – Not Permitted! – delay it – Not Permitted! – reschedule it – Not Permitted! – the hunter sits down to wait for the update to download and install. Since he is on a distant planet after an alien, it takes times. But when it is complete the update requires a patch! Ugh!
In desperation, using his interstellar phone, he calls the help number for crisis situations. It rings the 800 times necessary and then a computer answers with a menu to direct the call about: planetary destruction, genocide, star demolition, personal weapons (for blaster press 4, for rifles press…) and then blasters (press 1 for disrupter, press 2 for neural,…. 5 for sonic). Then he has to key in his user name and number. Whoops only to discover his service contract for patch update care has lapsed and he is returned to the opening menu to renew his contact by keying in everything again with a Galactica credit card number of Google length, as the prey, now aware of his presence, targets him with a more primitive weapon. Poof!
