I was only defining 'excessive wealth' as money, in the hands of one person that isn't actually 'doing anything' except going into his pocket, and more than can actually be used by said individual. That is to say, money like Gates' that is 'working' in Microsoft is fine, while wealth that is simply being 'sat on' is not (such as, in the example above, multiple large private estates). Likewise, the control is an issue. Gates, legally, can't just disolve Microsoft and become a hermit in a cave made of dimonds, but look at George Soros who dumped 10 billion US worth of British pounds onto the market, almost crashing the entire British economy (this event was known as Black Wednesday). He did this basically because he's an arsehole. In Tailand he's considered an economic war criminal.

It's a good thing condoms don't stop AIDs, else someone in africa might consider using them. Thanks for clearing that up pope-dude!

Then that isn't excessive wealth is it, espessally in the context given. Becides which the majority of Bill Gates weath is tied up in Microsoft, meaning that it's actually 'doing somthing', rather than him living in a house the size of New England and eating nothing but blended $100 notes. Socialist, guilty

How is excessive wealth not bad?

oooooh, thanks for clearing that up Sandy, I was getting really confused (which naturally let me to assume that everyone else was too). Oh it's hard being a total egomoron eh?

And indeed, the difference between reality and a black and white reality where there's only two answers for everything.

People would eat a lot less meat if it didn't taste nice.

so would anyone, it just amuses me when people bitch about somthing I consider 'low priority'. But you know, i'm sure people bitch about LO because it isn't full of anime prettyboys. Kaften for example.

In all seriousness, yeah, I know a lot of guys do the female thing. I've never cared enough since i'd rather self project into an RPG rather than have eye candy. But then, i've never cared about the BOO HOO I CANT CHANGE WHAT I LOOK LIKE, I'D RATHER HAVE OBLIVION THAN ACTUAL GAMEPLAY. This is espessally funny in games like PST where you can bearly see the guy anyway.

All that work feels awfully like owning another console.

Why not? None of your posts are.

Id Mass Effects camera even angled to show the butt during normal gameplay?

I wish I were old and grumpy so I could have knee-jerk reactions to everything. And dude, don't worry, nobody is going to judge you.

Yeah, it's not like any first-party sega games have been abortive messes. wait....

I know there are ways around it in many cases, but operating systems and hardware make this very much not the total case. I can't play Dark Omen or Syndicate Wars on my current computer and don't even get me started on getting sound working on the SCUMM games. Given the backwards compatability and arcade options of modern consoles this point (while fair) is becoming less and less true.

I think they're nerds.

Given that you don't even know if you can customise your characters apperance you're being Hades a bit early on this occasion. And we can't help it if you're gender confused.

About freaking time.

Tale wins!

I'm pretty sure badguys scale to your level anyway.

haha, this thread is like a forum intelligence test. Guess who loses.

Spambot.

Well duh. Wapanese or weeaboo both work as terms btw. For giggles mention to one that your favorate cartoon is 'The Lion King' and watch as they go off on a rant about it being a complete ripoff of a piece of anime. Japan seems to be having more and more influance over western media as the generation that grew up on pokemon gets older. Just look at 'Avatar' which is 'anime' entirely american produced. Likewise, teen titans has taken a distinctly Japanese twist to it. I'm not saying this is a good thing, I miss the cool cartoons (like Thundercats) I had when I was a kid but the influances are there and growing stronger and Mass Effect is a good example of such. In fact, i'm willing to bet that Shepard goes SUPER SAIYAN in the sequal.
