WOW 240m is GREAT considering they have only sold 11m Wii's In the US so far. Though I have to wonder what their doing wrong to have only made $96m profit with this much volume.
I don't get the dark vs. bright, because the bright, like they say, is easier to see. It is the content that all the complaints seem to be over. They are making it to be more magical fantasy, ala WoW. I've pointed this out earlier but In the upper left hand corner of the lower left screen shot, there is a rainbow. This isn't about light or dark its about the way the game is presenting itself. If they want an action game about people battling hell this isn't it. This might as well be a Warcraft game about the Burning Legion.
Ok, but this isn't just happy, it is cartoon-y. In the upper left hand corner of the lower left screen shot, there is a rainbow. A rainbow. Not a hellish rainbow being cast from the saliva of a monster, but the pot-o-gold singing and dancing type. A rainbow in a game about battling the minions of hell. See where the discontent comes from?
Or the rainbow in the lower left picture. I think most of this is blown out of proportion, but rainbows? The only game ever liked having a rainbow in was Katamari Damacey.
So this could rule out purple and green dinosaurs, yellow protoceratops, and orange hadrosaurs. What next? You're going to tell me that dinosaurs didn't sing and dance with little children, were taller than 6' 2" and weren't overflowing with uncomfortable kindness?
honestly codes exist because it helps maintain a civil society. I'm an anarchist and in total support of direct democracy and selecting your government, and I know the US is is an oligopolistic republic. My main point is that I think things are getting better over the long run. You will have a man like Bush who rules by mandate, but you have had more people who vest power in law, it's just the asshats are way more visible.
I put all my faith in law. I don't mean like traffic law, but the rights of man style law. I believe there will be a day when the only government is just natural law and all other government is your choice, like which insurance you carry.
I visit Mexico regularly. And I visit neighbor hoods where the people make the equivalent to middle class Americans, and they are shit because their is no codes. Sure by saying you can't throw up a shack on a piece of land in a neighborhood is depriving them of a right, but you have to look at the rights of the neighbors. If they have established a code for their area by mutual consent (or nation) then you would have no more right to throw up a shack then you do to start insulting people at a party I know that many codes are money grabs, but some, such as levels of uranium in water, are done becuase there need to be a set minimum. It sucks in general and as things stand it's very hard to decide to leave, but thats just something we need to work on.
I doubt to the core of my being that the Bush clan is related to any of "the kings of old." The world has changed a lot since what you say is the way things are was actually true. Democracy isn't perfect, hell it's barely functional, but it does work and is getting better all the time, and I have yet to see anything that works better.
The shift to bottom up government has been a slow one, and one that has, and is still, changing the very nature of human life and existence. I'm sorry you were raised in a culture that favors the quick fix, but these things move over generations. I'm certain, as the last 100 years of history has shown, that the next 100 years will bring even more freedom, without the need of major rebellion, or pointless angry bloodletting because someone has a better life then you.
Yep, cause all the drugs out there that add muscle are so safe, like steroids. The thing I was trying to get at is that any means to change your body through chemistry are likely to fuck up the system. Sure we can make chemical exercise, but I doubt it will be in one smooth pill you take twice a day with no trade off.
They never mention it in these stories, but what are the side effects? I doubt it will let you shed the pounds without some fucked up thing like shedding bone mass or nerves. I could see this having a linear correlation to pounds lost for years of life lost.

[talking to hot woman]
Me: "Hey. So, you're a biology nut and read Neal Stephanson in your spare time? Hey, what's your name?"
Her: "Alice, and you are?"
Me: "Greg. So, how long since you become a woman?"
Her: "Three months."
Me: "post op or pre-op?"
Seriously I mean no disrespect to women. Though I doubt any will actually read this.
The powers that be in the republican party are already trying hard to squash this like a bug.
The base of support needed to really change that party is mostly like me, a disgusted centrist who loathes both parties but wouldn't touch anything republican with a ten foot pole. The hard part is convincing people the GOP is A: possible to change, and B: worth changing.
It doesn't seem like any change to the republican party can happen utile those who run it now die, or are all arrested.
After watching the 911 truth movement pull together massive amounts of correlations based of basically nothing I am in awe of the human ability to rationalize correlations. I can see the dangers of this stuff outweighing the benefits in almost every way.
I can only wonder how many small coincidences could be completly misconstrued during both investigations, or other things such as affairs.
seriously I just looked Rambo rows up on Google: nothing. Not even fan fiction "Rambo rows into the camp silent as night and makes love to the general," or whatever the fuck people write on the internet.
Motivation is the killer. I found the only way to workout at the home was to completly internalize it as a habit. That means I get up and flop on the floor for push ups and other exercises first off. The only times I don't do it is when I wake up hung over. A great motivator is if you keep with it enough to see results. Once that happens it's like a chain reaction where you can't stop exercising to see what else gets unveiled by the receding fat.
Heres something I haven't seen mentioned yet: cycling while intoxicated is like barely illegal. I often engage in bar hoping on a bike. The only problem is your bike can go missing, and you have to convince the women to take you to their car. Though seeing as you're an introvert that probably isn't a problem.
Ohh and you might get killed. I forget that part a lot. Thats kind of a selling point to me though.
I can't figure for the life of me what kettlebells do that dumbbells don't. I get that the exercises are different, but why couldn't you hold a dumbbell instead?
I'd love to be able to afford a trainer. But the internet is cheap. So maybe it took me three months to figure out how to properly do a squat. If i combined all hat time together and worked a few extra hours it still wouldn't pay for a trainer.
I've toyed with almost lighter than air vehicle designs for a while now as a mental experiment, and I can say that this guys device would be a lot better if he used a rather cheap helium balloon to stabilize his device and alleviate much of the lift needed by the engines. It would also help safety in slowing his rate of free fall. It could also reduce his costs which are kind of stupid high right now.
Your average 53' trailer has about 3800 cubic ft. which is about 239 pounds of lift in helium, so a balloon at that size(it wouldn't be a rectangle though) would be able to easily lift a average person and some steering equipment. My goal is to have it be heavier than air and the extra lift provided by equipment very similar to what this guy built, so that assent and descent are controlled by propellers allowing for hovering. Though I doubt I'll ever have enough time to make it, and an ultra light would probably be easier.
I read an article by some economist who compared the US to other countries based on purchasing power (PPP) of the people in their countries, not the exchange rates for currency, and on real wages adjusted for taxation and inflation, (GNP). He found the actual disposable income of the US to be much higher then many people would guess and that we were only passed by Luxembourg. Though this was in 2004 so the thats all probably changed.
Using his reasoning that America is much more flush with disposable income compared to other nations then the exchange rate or GDP makes it appear, it would make sense that goods are much cheaper in the states since it is the exchange rate that is wrong.
The problem I had with the article was more to do with the authors assumptions that greater disposable income = greater standard of living, and that he failed to address the distribution of income.
Jesus that almost me puke. You should submit those pages for a story, or ask Obama for some money. Any chance of me voting republican has just been flushed.
Even if all the answers to fix education were known and universally excepted, they would still need to be implemented. This would still hit up against union. The NEA has been the single biggest obstacle to education reform in this country. even slight reforms that could go far are completly blocked.

Seriously, why the run around. Did they go to the president when the viking Labeled Release results ended up positive?
Maybe the life forms are some sort of stem cells and they're checking on the legality of bringing back samples?
Yep, cause all the drugs out there that add muscle are so safe, like steroids.

cancer anyone? or what could possibly go wrong.
Once they develop that pill most society will cease, we'll just all live in the forest being beautiful. Maybe that's how elves got started?
If steroids and other exercise/diet pills are any indication this will have a major impact on your heart. Stopping it.
How do you keep someone with no memory busy? Refresh for answer.
The human memory works by really, really remembering things that are deemed important by you at the time.
so this is why I can remember the license plate number of the guy who cut me off, but not an anniversary, even though they have about the same digits.
