Come on, that was definitely the funniest movie of all time (save for Brüno)

You could also buy a cheapo desktop with a pci express x16 slot, and just buy a half decent video card. Just have a 2.6ghz+ dual core chip and upgrade the ram if it's less than 2 and you'll be fine.

If you do build your own, go LOW END! I built a system MUCH faster than the above one for about 550$, with 1.4$=? in late 2007. You/I can play most everything at high settings, and the performance gain of a 300? video card over a 100? video card is not worth it; in a year there'll be a 100? card...

I wouldn't kill myself; I'd just do all the crazy things I wouldn't do if I wasn't going to be dead soon, like jumping over a stupidly large gap on a motorbike, or going skydiving alone, or going hang gliding and jump into an ocean at the end, or catapaulting into a netting (probably not all...

Also, they should probably be engaging in covert cyber attacks on the Chinese government; the chinese have infiltrated several government networks pertaining to Tibet to try and affect Tibetean politics, and there is obviously the great firewall of china..

Also, I believe that their electronic defenses are not all that good; I remember reading about how NSA analysts were able to break past US Air Force security measures more than 60% of the time in a wargame... although the NSA is THE authority on cryptography and computer security; the US has...

I think that in general the US isn't too bad; they tend to be stupid rather than evil, although the second Iraqi invasion was a complete cockup, although Saddam Hussein was a bastard. Whether they were actually stupid enough to believe they were doing the right thing is another matter entirely...

It's a little easier to balance, although going onto a high speed road for the first time is absolutely terrifying.

That's totally fine then; problems arise when countries force secularism (ie. France vs. USA for Muslim integration) or too religous (ie. treatment of women in Saudia Arabia vs. Sweden). Nobody who isn't an asshole hates moderately religous people such as yourself.

Yeah, I just thought of the four big ones I'm aware of... are there other policies in place?

I'm pretty sure that cycling without a helmet is legal; it would have been his fault even if she had killed him if he pulled out in front of her. Some roads are very pedestrian unfriendly though..

I've got one simple question; do you support people's right to do or believe (in) what they want, and in the case of doing what they want, so long as it does not cause harm to another person?

Star-o-the-world Barack Obama recently made some headway into saving the US from its rediculous costs; I'm wondering what you fellow Escapist readers think, and if you are happy with your current country's system.

System Shock 2 is probably my second favorite.

Totally agree with Torment. There is basically nothing wrong with that game, save for the fact that you need a mod for resolution independence and the interface looks wonky at nonnative resolutions. It's like the anti-Final Fantasy (or other generic JRPG)
