Well the XBox 360 version you just play until you lose all your lives. Your failure is inevitable (at least it's supposed to be). I think extreme difficulty in games like this is more reasonable because you're not really getting frustrated trying to get to the next level or trying to get further in the storyline. You're generally just trying to beat your friend's high score. I could see people getting annoyed with Ikaruga because it's beatable but only after becoming an expert at the game, and to do that, you have to play the levels over and over again.

God I hope so. Right now EVE's AI behavior is: If player is within a visibility range, go to an optimum range of player and orbit; if player is in locking range, lock on player; if player is locked, fire weapons on player. I love how you can just destroy a whole squadron of enemies while the other squadron nearby just sits there and acts like nothing happened. God Eve is boring.

So 81% of journalist, you know, the people who's job is to gain knowledge about what's happening in the world and report it, vote democrat. There was a slashdot article earlier this year that had a breakdown of economists political views. I can't remember the exact number, but a similar majority of them supported democrats as well. This is totally my bias speaking here, but maybe educated people are biased towards the left because they actually know that it is better for the country. I am biased, but that doesn't mean I'm wrong.

Compared to many elections, Obama's win was quite large. You need to look at the history of some elections if you are honestly trying to make it seem that Obama barely won. Bush got less than fifty percent, and less popular votes than Al Gore in 2000. When you campaign in a country that is extremely divided by gun rights, gay marriage, and abortion, how in the world can you expect a candidate to magically win 100% of the vote?

If you actually looked at the statistics of Obama's tax plan, there is a net decrease (albeit small) of taxes. I have a feeling your bias is strong enough that you won't even bother to check. Yeah Obama went back on his word for public financing, but if I were in his position I would have done the same thing.

You have got to be fucking kidding me. Please try some news sources other than Fox News every once in a while. Show me a news article about Obama being negative towards McCain, and I'll show you an earlier one with McCain attacking Obama. And let's not totally ignore the fact of the levels negativity coming from the campaigns. We have one side shouting "Kill him! He's a terroist!" and the other side is saying "He is old, and is similar to Bush!" Give me a break.

So which is it? Either he votes with his party 97% of the time, or he is "doing it my way". Those are two mutually exclusive things that people use to attack his credibility.

Do the school officials kill the kids who try to leave early, and sexually abuse the female students? Can the school sell the kids for money to other schools or private organizations? No?

Yeah, mandatory community service doesn't sound at all like slavery to me.
