The problem is not weakness, it's the instant gratification culture. Get now, pay later. This is building up to a lot of money, which hurts us everywhere. That's right, the people are to blame. There are some legitimate foreclosures, but I'm willing to bet that a LOT of them are the instant gratification blowouts.

[quote who="SanChonino" comment="5"] 1) I won't buy Spore because of copy protection. 2) Will Wright makes Spore. 3) Will Wright donates to Geezer McOldPants. 4) I guess I'll let his stupid program rape my computer after all! Your logic is impreccably stupid, Erath. [/quote] I won't put it on my computer, did you not get that? I can't even RUN it on my computer. I'd buy it for DS or whatnot. [quote]Buying a game beca

[quote]I thought it was slated to be made for DS?[/quote] I dunno. I thought it was slated for DS too, Ock, but the Wikipedia page doesn't say anything. I could've checked more, I guess. I wonder if they'd make it for the PSP also, but that's probably just wishful thinking. [quote]Isn't Spore supposed to suck? Or rather it didn't turn out like it was promised to.[/quote] I've been curious about it. Maybe I'll pick it up when the price drops, but not right now, either way

I can buy Spore after-all. Since it's the game making me boycott EA, and Will Wright makes it, and Will Wright donates to McCain, I can agree with Will Wright's politics. Will Wright, ergo, deserves my cash as much as any other developer, and I will give money to Will Wright by buying Spore. Even if I can't run it. Meh. Make it for DS/360, and I'll buy it.

Dwarf Fortress is probably the most complex game as of 2008, and it's definitely the most complex ASCII game. Okay, I kid you not, the Wiki is probably way over 200 MB, and doesn't have many pictures (and if it does, they aren't huge BMP's). It's huge. There's so much stuff in it. You can build most anything that comes to mind. And it's updated often. It's easy to mod. I've done it. You can get a lot of cool things. And you can remove the innate alcoh

I didn't really appreciate the graphics until just recently. It's so awesome. I never noticed the nebulae. I was too busy frantically building, until recently.

Serial keys, including the nice little no-multi same key thing is as far as I'll tolerate normally. This is because Securom and whatnot mess with my DVD-RAM drive (DVD-ROM drives are better for most things).

I'm CPR certified. [quote]t is a very good thing to know those life-saving techniques. Also, not being certified can have undesirable consequences if something goes wrong while you are trying to save a person's life. I've gone through certification and retraining a couple of times myself. Great job in seeking that certification because you never know when you'll need to be prepared to react.[/quote] Arizona has a "Good Samaritan" law that protects you if you mess up.

[quote]I think it's time you realized you can't blame everything on Bush. This problem goes way beyond one President, and if you can't even begin to see that, then there's no hope for any other explanation for you.

Give it a while! You crosspost these things across ten thousand sites, and it's a hassle for those of us who blog on JU or play games on other sites if you post a lot of things, especially in ALL CAPS, that nobody is interested in.

What is the difference between passing judgement or warning someone? For instance, let me present the black and white examples: Judgement: Because you took a wrong turn, you fell off a cliff. Warning: If you take the wrong turn, you will fall off a cliff. In my opinion, judgement should never be necessary, instead a warning will suffice. In ethical terms, this means that
