..Douglas Adams wrote a lot of the scripts for the radio play three minutes before deadline, and so on. So they were rewritten and done over again, compiled differently, and so on when it turned into a book. But the "depressive ending" was never a bad ending, and it made perfect sense in the...

That was actually a good point, Yahtzee. Except that.. you don't actually see any of that in the story-telling in the game. .. that's kind of the point, isn't it.

...no, it's not really a great accomplishment for gaming when Bioware's bad writing is making them famous. And hailed as great artists in the gaming media in general. By the way, here are suggestions on subjects for shows you can do the next time: -A great show with intelligent commentary...

It was an observation from what you said, not an assumption. And unfortunately stopping violence is a bit more complicated than killing the Wicked Witch. But you're right. We're done here. Maybe some god or other will forgive you one day. I will not.

But that is what you are doing. "Should we not have rejoiced at Hitler's death". What sort of argument is that? Are you truly incapable of seeing the difference between the two bogeymen in question, or what their deaths represented, because either of them "feel" evil? If so, you are celebrating...

I pointed out the contradiction in your and Russ' arguments. So did others. You ignore it, claiming you don't have to defend or justify yourselves since your emotional scars are so severe and real. And you insist that you do not need to consider information that might change your point of view...

You're right. Congratulations.

I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over the sound of the whistling in my inner ear right now. Does it matter..? So he's been "stopped". Ok. Fine. What does it mean? It means emotional relief for you. Apparently, it's because now you are not afraid any longer of being terrifically attacked by the...

All right. Let's change "Americans" for George W. Bush, then. Happy now? Or would you like to turn me in to Homeland Security? The point is why you find his death so significant. Either it's a politically significant death, and it's tasteless endorsement of assassination for the sake of...

Sure. I'll easily admit that it's a self-manufactured outrage over how Americans feel the need to celebrate their narrow-mindedness. Note that it also affects me immediately, because the Wicked Witch becomes a political size that I have to contend with. It's not something the US is doing in the...

It doesn't matter, you know. 2000 people die every day because of wars none of you know why is fought. More people than that die every day from curable diseases. Hell, people die every day because they don't have access to clean drinking water. The truth is that the "personal stake" people...

..I know how you feel, Russ. I mourned the death of my hamster once. Took me weeks to get over it. Scarred me for life.

OP.. that's the saddest piece of propaganda I've ever read. And I've read some pretty bad attempts, let me tell you..

Hang on.. You /want/ someone to imagine Australia through a machine-gun crosshairs? ..if someone made Call of Duty: Vesterålen, I'd want to kill them for real..

..did you pull the trigger? Was it a good fight? Did you test yourself, or learn something about your enemy? Did you learn to respect them in the process? If not - what do you have to celebrate? That you're born in a country that spends more money on the military than science, schools or the...
