I don't care about the staff doing the "work", what is the IT group doing? Where is the enforcement of security policy? If somebody was going to put passwords or encryption onto the drives themselves, it would be somebody from a back room, not the solitaire playing secretary up front.
Quit disinfecting everything and you're less likely to get sick in the first place!!
It's just my theory, I'm sure we could all find studies that agree and disagree with this, but...
I've always figured the best way to prevent being sick is to maintain a strong immune system. Instead of disinfecting every surface under the sun, trying to abolish bacteria (impossible!!) I just deal with them! I have no qualms against eating with (relatively) dirty hands. Food falls one floor? 5-second rule is too short! Let the bacteria in and you will develop your own immunities.
Now I know, you were infected with a virus... and there's not much we can do to prevent them. But having a stronger immune system will still make getting over it easier, or you may never get sick in the first place.
Seriously, this whole fad of disinfecting everything is part of the cause of nasty strains of bacteria like MRSA. I seriously believe if this continues, it could easily lead to a. the downfall of the human race, b. all humans having to live in bubbles with no physical contact with ANYTHING EVER, or c BOTH.
Your argument is bunk my friend.
Your eye for an eye is an old testament/Jewish doctrine. When Jesus came along he said that the old ways were over, and that from his day forward the ways of peace, love etc would rule. That's when Christianity switched to turn the other cheek.
The book does NOT contradict itself in these cases. It corrects itself, and sets forth a new doctrine for a new time.
I'm with you here too. And I wasn't the only one who was thoroughly entertained by my jumping and being spooked... My roomates at the time thought it was hilarious when I was sitting in the dark corner of the apartment with my headphones on. I nearly fell out of my chair many times! And even the second and third time through, the game still genuinely startled and surprised me!
I can forgive the lack of a coherent story, or even some glaringly bad details (like Marines that don't carry flashlights), as long as I get some seriously engrossing environments and gameplay.

You've just used your one shot. I would've gone for something a bit more grand...
