    There was an individual a few years ago who shot up his office and killed many of his coworkers. He was some depressed, long-haired coder with a gun fetish. Imagine if based on that the whole nation had said someone who is mentally unstable is "going programmer". Furthermore, imagine if they all assumed that every coders or geek was the same as Michael McDermott. You'd get tired of it very quickly, and probably be more than a little offended by it.

    Time to fess up, zealots.

    You maintain that there's an endless supply of quality games out there and at the same time accuse 'other' people of zelotry? I know tastes differ, but I find the vast majority of games for any platform, windows, console or otherwise to be crap.

    It seems to be Free Software's dirty little secret.

    What! You mean to tell me that there's not a lot of games for Linux? With a sharp, insightful bit of wisdom like that no wonder you got modded Informative! I don't think anyone's ever noticed that before. Another dirty little secret we keep is that water is wet, and that fire burns!

    Well good for you. La-de-frickin-da. Aren't you special, taking the "That-is-bad-and-has-no-redeeming-qualities" high road? Yay for you, you perfect moral example. Perhaps you should be worshiped on sundays? Perhaps you alone are the ultimate judge on what is right and what is wrong. Perhaps your head is so far up your ass that it's kind of hard seeing everything from your ivory tower. Maybe you should be King of All, because you're so great.

    Postal 2 is a great example of what makes this country (U.S.A) great; Freedom of Speech, the freedom to play whatever video games you want, the freedom to not have to listen to crap-head know-it-alls like you.

    Where is this great Non-Offensive-To-Anyone, I-play-this-because-it-is-entirely-moral-and-great -to-all-people Uber Game that you sit around playing? Really, I'd like to know.
