You know "the point"? It's on the opposite side of the Earth from you. In regards to the post I made and the reply. Ignoring that, more than half the people in the US are "health crazy people on the fringe" by your definition. The proportion of Americans who smoke tobacco is about 17% these days. Laws and ordinances going up to prevent secondhand smoke (i.e. you smokers bothering other people by giving them cancer, or with your noxious hobo-like stench,) are constantly popping up in cities and states without fail. Yes, you are being persecuted. It's a tragedy. My point was that as long as people smoke on their own time( no extra smoking breaks ) and their own dime( paying the extra indirect taxes to support their habit ) and without effecting anyone( not in public places) then the vast majority don't give a ****.( You can choke on your smokes in your own apartment and most of us won't care). While the fringe being those who try to convert you from smoking or those who see this as huge scheme by the big corporations. Also this is not persecution, this basic common sense e.g. if farts were toxic, I wouldn't fart in your face and regulation against people who do isn't persecution, but basic boundaries. Why do you even care about such minor stuff when you can just spend time admiring, well for instance, http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/where/ Or learning to play the guitar, or join the peace corps. The possibilities are endless!

Did you guys know that non-smokers die everyday?

it doesn't matter what game is the best, PST is not it. it's a good game, but it has flaws, and personally I find it unplayable due to those flaws, Oh come on. I can fully understand the lack of combat or overreliance on certain attributes compared to others, but unplayable?

There are 36 different endings because there are 36 different females waiting to be bed by our esteemed witcher. Not that i mind that really.

The chinese desperately needs to have an honor-system in their culture. Selling fakes? Family honor has been revoked, the only way to restore it is to commit seppuku. I give it a generation or two and things will improve immensly.

Well, i've been across the US and i can say that fresh, non-processed food was more difficult to obtain than what should be necessary. After a while me and my friends were starting to serious crawings for vegetables and fruit so we went to a local supermarket i Austin, Texas (we haven't had anything with raw vegetables or fruit since Virginia IIRC) and bought some apples, carrots, oranges and whatnot. The look on the cashiers face was priceless. And the price? a small bag of apples: 7,50$ A family-pack of 8 burritos: 6,90$. Same thing in New Jersey as well. A bottle of water? 1,50$ A bottle of high-sugar orange-like drink? 1,25$ And what's with corn-sugar in everything? Remove the subventions on that crap already.

Yup, going after the smokers was just the beginning. It was a smoke-screen, if you may, for beaurocrats to control the lives of its citizens. Soon people who like some dessert with their coffee have to eat them in a separate booth, in red packaging that is filled with various warning labels.

I am completely out of the loop when it comes to Wasteland, but what exactly is wrong here? Grid-based inventory?

That is some quality trolling.

Pfffft, a philosopher king doesn't intermingle with, nor encourage the thoughts of the imaginary enemies that materialize from the common pleb. *tips fedora*

I still haven't played ME3. The whole ending debacle made me lose all interest.

Can't we all just agree that as long as the fictional character is true to itself, as in how the writer imagined it, it can be anything the writer wants to be? Otherwise it will only either politization (or idealization) of the art or pampering to fans, which is simply disingenenous. To put it simply, do we want truth or not? As a philosopher king by hobby, i can decide that we want truth.

Tree of Life "What?!" I've seen weird or difficult movies before, like Tarkovsky's "The Mirror", but this movie was even more bizzare. It was more of an experiment in cinematography than actually a movie.

Maybe it is just me, but reading all these comments about women, their waist size, breast size and their possible promiscuos character traits only makes me, uh, think objectified thoughts about them.

Hubba-Bubba!

I am still waiting for the million man march against Capitol hill in Washington, where men are screaming on of their lungs in unison, almost like a battlecry even: "We damand smaller peckers in Porn! Our feelings of objectivication depend on it!". Or it is just in the minds of internet people, game journalists and alike.

Exactly.

That's like demanding to reduce the amount of muscle on the guys in Gears of War. Muh feelings are otherwise very hurt *sniffle*

Wow, what incredible amount of info about that Cthulhu-game. I mind is buckling from too much knowledge. Please, no more info before release.

The Comedy It's not a comedy. It's a sad story of a man refusing to grow up. I did not laugh.

we would prefer 1860 pre-civil war as most o' the conflicts exist w/o any o' the resolutions. that being said, US anywhere/anywhen 'tween 1840 and 1870 would makes us happy with the setting. HA! Good Fun! But, but....how can anyone be the chosen one, destined to save the world in that setting?

Wrong question. The right question, in a philosophical sense, is what should be denied access?

Soon enough, only criminals would want to have "full access" to the web. Mark my words. It happened to Radio and it happened to TV as well.

The Wolf of Wall Street I was howling with laughter in the theatre. Also, DeCaprio's acting was actually oscar-quality for once.

Goddamn, i wanna go there! :D
