    Sure they care. But apparently not enough to do anything about it. I used to be fat. And I reached a point where I had had enough not being happy with the way I looked. So I made a lifestyle change and fixed it. It isn't easy. But if you want it bad enough, you can change it.

    One of my coworkers was explaining how Hawaii needn't worry about a 7 foot tsunami wave because they sometimes get 30 foot wind waves. You know, because tsunami waves are exactly like wind waves. I'm sure Australia has nothing to worry about!

    Unless you only play 10 year old 2D games, you're not going to have a whole lot of fun playing games with Wine.

    I agree that for new games it's safe to assume you're SOL as far as Wine is concerned. But what you describe is utterly false. Years ago (2006ish I believe) I played WoW solely in Wine. And that is hardly 10 years old, nor is it 2D. I also played through all of Half-Life 2 via Wine three or so years ago. Played lots of Warcraft III, and various other games.

    Again, I realize none of those are brand spanking new. But they are far from 10 year-old 2D games. You say you don't like people spreading misinformation about it working better than it does. On the same token I don't like seeing people stomping it down making it out to be completely useless.

    Only it's Japan. They actually sell real green tea over there. As in it isn't artificially sweetened like every god damn maker in the US does. Even Coca Cola sells the real deal over there.

    And if you want real stuff here look for the Ito En brand. I live in South Dakota and was shocked when they started selling it at Target.

    Stardock is another company that treats their customers like customers. Their games are DRM free. The only time you have to connect to their servers is if you want to patch your game. Windows only though.

    I honestly don't understand why that is classified as nonsense and even gets some people up in a tizzy (not you, others I've met). Is it only because it would mean the man had sex with someone?

    I hate Bush as much as the next guy but I don't understand why so many harass him for Katrina. Why not place blame on the people who were supposed to be running the state? They live below sea level for fuck sake. Did they not anticipate that something bad may happen?

    And if you can't have respect for fat people, try a little sympathy.

    I feel sympathy towards overweight children because their parents are more than likely the cause. The parents should care more about making sure their child is healthy.

    I do not, however, feel sympathy towards fat adults. I'm fat myself. I know it is within my power to correct the issue, I'm just lazy. I don't mean that I do nothing but sit around. I'm lazy about watching what I eat and in what portions. I expect a large number of overweight people have similar stories.

    Agreed! Controlling the vehicles with the mouse was especially awkward.

    The match matching was equally terrible. I've no idea if that has anything to do with it being a port or not though. I bought the damn game on Steam and it used GameSpy for multiplayer...wtf. It was so terrible that my friends and I had to use Hamachi to play together despite all OWNING the game.

    One of the games I truly regret purchasing.
