I'm living in Switzerland and games in retail are horrendously expensive, not to mention the lack of variety any retail shop offers, be it GameStop or MediaMarkt. Depending on the release Steam can be 10-40% cheaper. The thing, though, is that Steam doesn't "offer" Switzerland-specific pricing...

*sigh* There are a few corrections that need to be done to that statement before you people proceed. a) SteamOS is not just "Linux-based", it's basically a Linux distribution with Steam pre-installed. What is a distribution you ask? Well, it's a bundle of software that complements and...

The last game I played was Duke Nukem 3D... so I'm Duke Nukem and I'd come to Uni to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and I'd often be out of gum. Also, bewbs. :P

That's a gross oversimplification. Have you ever heard of Epicureanism? What about Buddhist belief devoid of godlike beings? You might want to read some Kant and Herman Hesse, as well (the former for the logical clarity as to why some form of morality makes a good social imperative, the latter...

Now that is the proper way to enjoy a video game. :D

I'd say trading. But I might be wrong. :) EDIT: Impenetrable logic. Thread closed. :)

Bach worked for the church (which he hated to do), Edgar Allan Poe lived a miserable life with massive financial uncertainty, Socrates wasn't an aritst, nor did he leave any written works (though it is true that he apparently didn't charge for the attendance of his lectures), Kafka had a prober...

Except that you're not allowed to take ammunition home with you and you're not allowed to keep your rifle after finishing your official duties unless you own a license. Also, with the dwindling numbers of Swiss men who actually do military service instead of, say, civil service, civil protection...

Weeeelll, you know you live in Germany when there are neonazi murders happening and nobody gives a visible f*ck. It goes both ways, unfortunately. :( Incidentally, you know you live in Switzerland (or Zurich for that matter), when there's a pasta restaurant chain that's named after an...

If you don't mind having your post used as a template: You know you live in Switzerland when you see Germany as one big discount shopping mall. xD

It's a quite cool place, basically.

Funny, I am quite certain the same thing was said about Western culture in Japan from 1945 on, considering for example the style development of Manga/Anime which was influenced/inspired by American comics. Even today, some traditionalist writers and literary scholars consider Haruki Murakami to...

...no? (Zurich, Switzerland) And I find that a very weird thing to do. We did sometimes sell self-made cake in Gymnasium (high school) though (for our class' benefit).

All Heroes of Might and Magic games (?)
