I knew you were just popping pills.

I'm not playing another game that David Cage dude touches ever again. EVER AGAIN. I can't say I have much interested in God of War 3, since the series seems to be perceived as more 'shallow' by both NG and DMC fans.

What the crap is bloody wrong with you?

Hi, Given the recent hot debate on DRM, I want to be more aware of what I buy. If possible, it'd be cool to have some sort of list saying what upcoming PC games will have DRM, and also what sort. Eg. Spore = SecuRom, only applicable to as-of-yet-unreleased games. Thanks! There's just so many good PC games coming up that I don't have the time to keep track of which one has which DRM. (Keep console trash out of this thread, thanks)

Well, you'll drink to anything, though. In any news, I crashed multiple helicopters and planes carrying Nick on board today. It was for the good of humanity. Also, I made a nuclear submarine detonate with Nick on board. Win-win.

This seems appropriate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3vNPlQ4cE4

Man, remember when we played Combat Mission? That DRM was kind of silly too, though it wasn't particularly draconian. Install on 2 computers, uninstall from one to install onto a 3rd, and so on. Though you had to be connected to actually do that, but the company was pretty lenient in terms of allowing extra installs, given the proper excuse.

The main issue is that it has nothing to do with it being a gold standard. Yes, benzos are widely used in GAD. That still doesn't make alprazolam the gold standard. Angiography is the gold standard of pulmonary embolism, but virtually no one will use it in a clinical setting, unless part of a study or everything else being inconclusive. Though, you get the gist of it. If anything, benzos should be used in the first few weeks while waiting for the SSRIs/SNRIS/TCAs/etc/etc to start having an effect. Prescribing benzos long-term is just a bad idea, and not just for its tolerance. Again, combination. Pharmacology or psychotherapy alone isn't going to be as effective as both for the most part. Though, yes, some people can get away without it. But geez, stop using wiki as your source. Any idiot like you or me could have written in it. In any case, I looked it up quickly. Assuming you're referring to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sertraline and this article "Fiseković S, Loga-Zec S (2005). "Sertraline and alprazolam in the treatment of panic desorder [sic]". Bosn J Basic Med Sci 5 (2): 78

Did you even watch that video? She's read most of them with a great appreciation for the press.

Specifying a specific medication as the gold standard is deceptive, when there are tons of other medications equally effective. The abstracts you listed don't even mention alprazolam. You also make it sound like you're pushing a hidden agenda, though you probably aren't, since no one on this forums has any sort of psychiatric problem. You're probably better off giving cognitive-behavioral therapy a try, anyway. Combination works better. Pro-tip: nothing in medicine is 100% (are you getting sexual dysfunction? )

Where in blazes are you even getting that from? A quick literature search (via Medline/Pubmed, not google) reveals not a single randomized double-blind study or meta-analysis (though, to be fair, I cut my search to 1996, so maybe outdated 80's medicine did show such a thing) even remotely suggesting anything like that. Not even benzos as a whole, and especially not Xanax specifically. Seriously, did you get that from xanax.com or let some pharma rep fool you by editing wikipedia?

Well, yeah, we already spotted him here http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showtopic=50804

No, and people have been banned for insinuating such nonsense. The member I miss most is ROFLTUNASANDWHICH http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showuser=6613 RIP ;_;

I ate Deadly Nightshade and wrote about it.

Anxiolytics aren't the gold standard for anxiety, especially not a specific commercial brand-name one. Are you a pharma rep? Lose weight, eat fruits, stop drinking and smoking, cut on coffee, get a divorce, quit your job, kill werewolves in video games, and stop posting about politics.

Hi, I was reading through another forum recently and found a quite disturbing post. The topic was about the Middle-East, specifically Iran. There were arguments on both sides, and they were pretty compelling. However, one particularly poster wrote that it would just be easier to nuke Iran. Or the entire Middle-East. I personally found it a tad disturbing, but I'm interested in seeing what people from the other side of the fence would use as arguments to justify this. Thanks. (no Middle-East bashing, please)

So, what are your thoughts on abortion, guys?

Only a close few are allowed to touch my body.

Shut up about your freaking pants. You don't even have any.
