Little Britain going to US
Surely he's not meant to be funny, merely harmless in a cozy sort of way.

Yeah well it doesn't age that well. I watched a few episodes recently. Other than that funny is funny, I get 'English humor'. There's nothing to 'get' about American humor, but that doesn't mean it can't be funny.

US Presidential Elections
It's like awesomely responsible, be suitably awed. This is no time for McCain to be butchered by a superior debtor, there is a crisis going on.

US Presidential Elections
Never mind that McCain's suspension of campaigning, is campaigning. Lols.

It's true that Nixon was elected on ending the war, but it's not Like Obama can just bomb Baghdad and declare victory. He will have to withdraw troops won't he.

Finland is Winland
Dealers are supposed to report any missing major components in bomb making material, as a result of the new wave of terrorist activity. Can't very well have farmers stop fertilizing their fields though.

Research into what makes people homicidal maniacs doesn't have much in they way of practical implementation.

Finland is Winland
And now they are countries with gun restrictions which are in no danger whatsoever of some sort of armed uprising. This makes the whole observation a complete anachronism. Much like the notion that easily available guns protect US citizens from a military coup d'etat
-
Finland is Winland
The only government that bans guns are those who fear being overthrown and only poor governments who are doing horrible jobs (ie. dictators) would truly fear such an uprising. Well that is rather obviously incorrect. There isn't a single government in central Europe that has any fear of being overthrown.

Well I don't think it's a good idea to allow the general populace easy access to guns. Legislation shouldn't be based on single incidents though, there needs to be a debate about this first.

Anything really, even soppy french romance movies.

I don't think there is anything tangible you can do to prevent people from becoming isolated and dangerous to their surroundings. You can't tell what crackpot is the one that will flip and do something like this. That would assume a level of control and attention to detail that just isn't feasible. You can't get inside everyone's heads. As usual the answer to these nature or nurture questions is somewhere in the middle. Suspicious behavior should result in a revocation of gun licenses if it's someone unbalanced, but then we are back to getting inside people's heads again. Better to just make it harder to get guns in the first place. Maybe some required psychological tests, but then again it's hardly an exact science.

The RE ports are all extremely crappy, you don't want to play those games on anything other than consoles. I dunno, it's just tradition with CAPCOM.

Why introduce it by charging full price for something crippled. Doesn't seem like a smart marketing ploy.

Doesn't he play at least two other characters as well. Gay times 10, Racist English teacher. It's not that funny I'd agree.

Atari published unreal tournament. Thats the single most time I've spent on a game, including MMORPhegers. Don't have a spare box for LAN battles now though. Also, you don't need a disk in the drive to play UT, it will also install on 3 computers in LAN no problem. Just recently I bought the game again because I had scratched the disks to death, the serial that was supposed to be in the box was missing. I called the number in the manual and they gave me a new one. No fuss, no international calls.

Yes you can, they can ban you from your account for any number of reasons if it's in the EULA, you know that thing everyone has scrolled all the way past to click 'I accept' since the dawn of time.

They aren't breaking any laws, but that doesn't mean it's not offensive to forcefully silence legitimate complaints.
