Oh really. I would love to see the studies on THAT. Alcohol is only dangerous because we have stupid, stupid people who insist on drinking and {beating their family|driving|deciding to do really dumb shit}. Alcohol, in and of itself, is not dangerous when consumed in moderation. The same can be said of marijuana. However, drugs like crack and PCP are inherently dangerous due to the effects they have on the human body.

Enjoy your self-righteous asshattery.

Okay, buddy. I'm going to assume you're merely trolling for reaction, one I am not going to give you. Your description of the game is so ludicrously off-point w/r/t FMVs opposed to gameplay that I am forced to conclude you played the game with the intent to pick out every little niggling detail you hated. The rest of your post is so out there that I will not engage my brain to give you a rebuttal; instead, I will simply purple monkey dishwasher crank handle.
I am forced to further conclude that you hate good literary works, as "a bad SF B-movie" is far from accurate. At least, if you're playing a female Shepard. Male Shepard's voice-acting, I will admit, is thoroughly horrid.

Oh, right. The GOTY edition (which rankled me). I withdraw approximately one-half of my objection.

Haters gonna hate, eh? You use the quotes because you're the kind of guy who thinks he is the arbiter of games. "A few minutes running from place to place" is the worst description of the game you could have ever devised, right above Jack Thompson raging against it for the "alien sex extravaganza" (paraphrase mine). The combat sequences in ME1 could have been done better, I will freely admit, and ME2 solved it. It also did not eliminate the need to think, as you claim.

Tell me more. I'm not sure I quite follow you. What "stupid DLC tricks" did Fallout 3 present?

Re: Your Bioware silliness. Mass Effect 1, Mass Effect 2, and Dragon Age: Origins. Consider your confidence restored, you're very welcome, thank me later.
Re: Bethesda. Fallout 3. Again, consider your confidence restored, you're very welcome, thank me later.

You forget something. The installer for the virus explicitly says that it's going to do exactly what it does. The user agrees to have their information published on the Web. You don't have a legal leg to stand on.

You make me sick. Homosexuals currently have the right to marry....only within the context already defined. They do not have the right to marry the person they love. You do.

MLNN, if you think about it, a non-compete is a good idea, IF you happen to be in a sensitive position. If you worked for Google for a number of years and had an intimate knowledge of how their searching algorithm worked, would the brass really want you going to Yahoo with that knowledge being current? It would reduce Google's effectiveness as a company, and what's more, that's their proprietary data, which you might then pass on to another company.

Well, we do try to carry a wide selection of merch; unfortunately, that does tend to include a selection of crap, like you've noticed.

Yeah, I do work. It's unfortunate that the guys up there are driven totally by their commissions (pay is derived in large part from what they sticker), but most of the people in my store are pretty good about knowing their stuff. I work Gaming, personally, so I get paid hourly regardless of what I do. So I'd be the guy who'd chill with you for 20 minutes talking about the latest motherboards, GFX cards, games, what have you. What sucks, though (and this is back-end stuff), is that people being driven to sell stuff means no merchandising gets done during the day, meaning the bulk of it has to be done at night.

Parent: As an employee of Microcenter, I'd like to thank you for your words.
