Also who the hell thought Predator was an appropriate name for any commercial product, it's pretty yikes.

As in not prey. A line of gaming stuff so superior that it exploits the market and eats the competition, competition like the Alienware line. Alien vs Predator, and all that?

The world was a slightly more innocent place two decades ago.

  • I got the "not prey" bit and the Predator movie franchise when I bought it (if the first thing I thought of was the other definition, I probably would have bought a different laptop), but I'd completely forgotten about Alienware, the Alien vs Predator angle is kinda funny.

    Still, at some point you think they'd go for a rebrand, because you don't want people to think about your line of gaming laptops and go "wait... yuck".
