Yes, I thought it was tied up with the Xbox, too.

Is that the game that has the second half of the plot from Halo 2?

I have detailed files ...

Human rights are relative?

I see there are mature sex themes in the game too ... "

What if there are dancing girls and tasty treats?

Still, Camus is great.

Only in your world of illogic. Here's a simple concept for you to start with (ok, I lied, I will try to educate you, it's stronger than me): do you really think that a government would give money to people, outside their electorate, that didn't give them more money in return? Do you really insist in believing that foreign grants would have the same net effect on the donating countries economy if the money were channelled straight into it? Really? Do you think you've just come up with some amazing observation that has somehow been missed by every man, from every political party or government department? That is some overpowering solipsism you are saddled with. Ok, ready for a second step? Money invested in a nascent economy will nurture it into a larger one, i.e. one that requires more trade. Following so far? (I am assuming, for your sake, that you are taking on a advocatus diaboli persona rather than just being completely and utterly obtuse.)

Bespeaks the terrible life of the Teutons of times past, that they were devoid of fluffigness.

ZOMG j00 kn0 John Candy?!11!

Don't forget about the endorphin pay-back from exertion, too, as well as the contribution that regular and adequate rest, exercise and nutritious food makes to physical and mental health.

Nice. Yes.

Note that he, apparently, got "Volourn's Mystical Typing Skills" as a perk. The FalloutFan Prestige Class special ability!?!!!11!!one!!1

I think you should perhaps check the sales figures for the two franchises and think again. (Diablo is STILL on the Macintosh top sellers list.)

I wonder what trigger will cause a de-lurk? Or even a mass de-lurking?

See, this is why I can't really participate properly in this topic: I don't buy stuff based on emotion, normally.

... But ... war elephants!

Oh noez! You just started a "generic RPG" summoning incantation for Volo and Hades!

Audit trail = legal action and complete rectification, after a short interval.

Neil Armstrong (amongst others) believed that humans have a finite number of heart beats. Get healthy and make them last longer, or clock out early with an express cardiac arrest.

I am not going to attempt to educate you in this matter.

And to celebrate, here is another I just picked up from Russell, in his review of Kant: Anschauung. No surprises that the Germans have a shedload of epistemological terms not previously dreamt of in other languages, and (of course) pilfered by English.

You should read a little wider; I recommend some Albert Camus ... possibly The Outsider or perhaps even a jaunt through The Myth of Sisyphus to explore his explanation using the absurd man. That's the point, really. This is not a huge tragedy, determined by scale, but it is notionally preventable (as opposed to natural disasters and "acts of God" ). Hence people tend to get disproportionately upset, because they perceive that an event could have been prevented. (Ignoring the great good that inevitably leads from and indubitably requires great evil.)
