    Skyrim's level scaling.. hmmm.

    It's not even that he has an ultra-powerful character. He obviously did some recursive alchemy/enchanting exploiting, but even just the baseline enchanting/smithing combo brings the difficulty down to zero. With a two-hander nothing in the game takes more than three hits except dragons, which...

    USA health system... umm... what the hell?!

    Fair enough, the US system would never under any circumstances pay for the shoulder surgery without insurance. But, preventative care does save a great deal of money in this case. If the condition were allowed to deteriorate until she lost the use of both arms, how productive would she be for...

    USA health system... umm... what the hell?!

    Are you American? That's not the American system. The American system will pay $20,000 for livesaving emergency care, even if the person receiving it can't afford it. We won't let people die if they come to an emergency room with a life-threatening condition. But if that same person could...

    USA health system... umm... what the hell?!

    Hah, I spent the entirety of the month of June going through what you went through. Never had surgery or even had a hospital stay before. Had the appendix out, got sick aftwerward and spent a week in the hospital. I think maybe every appendectomy goes that way because I haven't talked to anyone...

    Well you would lose that bet. This game is amazing. Yes. Great. Bullseye. Nice shot.

    Iranian Developers Forced to Rely on Open Source Software

    Prince of Persia, amirite guys? Looks like an Xbox game, but in spite of that the environments are pretty nice. This is like the uplifting version of the Limbo of the Lost story. PhysX is free.

    Battle.net StarCraft II Matchmaking Too Good?

    Myth 2 had the same system, back in 1998. Pretty sure Myth 1 did too. One CD key per game, one bungie.net account per CD key. It was awesome. Best community ever.

    Unskippable: Folklore

    It's an action game, so as far as the gameplay goes there's nothing from pokemon. Here's where the 'catch em all' bit comes in: you have to collect your attacks. Heavy melee attack, light melee attack, light projectile, heavy projectile, shield, anti-air, crowd control, etc. All those are...

    Best foreign Insult.

    Afrikaans has some brutal insults. I heard one that went something like, "You were born from your mother's anus, because her vagina was busy being fucked by a dog." I can't even imagine thinking up profanity like that.

    Autistic UK Hacker faces being shipped out to the US.

    Cool post. Good points. Very compassionate thinking. And US courts will be making the final decision on this delicate matter. I rather doubt this clown is going to get 60 years. The damages claim is pretty hilarious, I bet they just counted all the billable hours of all staff in every...

    Unskippable: Wolverine Uncaged

    "Africa 06:00" What was the point of this? Thanks for telling us this is Africa, really drives the setting home. Oh it's 6AM, that's the most important time to be Wolverine looking at an "African" sunrise!
