Talk about historical blindness. You might be right about Canada. They didn`t have large numbers of individuals. All your other examples are moot.

The problem with Earth is its filled with Earthlings. When they`re hungry, they steal. When they`re satiated, they fornicate. What discipline they know is under the threat of a whip or imminent death. Would you really want it any other way? Ownership over compassion, no sex and strong discipline. Heaven:(

Now I've played Civ more than allmost anybody and I've seen pikemen kill modern armor and TOW infantry, but battleships? What do you do with your battleships? Invade cities? Airdrop? It would be as likely as pikemen shooting down bombers! Are you sure the pikemen were not aboard a submarine ; ) O, wrong game perhaps.

Why get all physical? 30 seconds on high in the microwave should do the job and leave less traces. "And when the border guard asks you what happened." the right response would be "I don't know what you're talking about Sir, there's chips in my passport?"
( or perhaps, depending on available force-points... "Sir, these are not the passports you're looking for":)
"The 812-degree temperature was measured Friday about a foot below the surface." Buried AND cremated for the price of one. That should even stop a troll.

Those Australians and their custard. It's just like New Zealanders and sheep. Disgusting.

As a DM, I oft give my players glimpses of hope and good and beauty in vile surroundings, if only to have (possibly) nasty things happen to it/them. (I don't know whether this was intended in this case though.) At higher level game play (AD&D)it's good fun to shatter their dreams and aspirations. Just damaging them and draining their stats and levels can get so boring.
As for cartoon-y, I have allways found Diablo somewhat cartoony. Allthough I've only played D1 completely iarc. I don't mind either way as long as the game is good, exciting, bug-free.
your're an Anonymous Coward. Hmmm, Clueless Idiots vs Anonymous Cowards. Clueless Idiots to the left, Anonymous Cowards to the right. 3,2,1, Go. I wonder why the elections suddenly come to mind.
A lot of the D3 fans don't want D3 to look like WOW. Designer says "Interesting (not), but thanks for the publicity" ; )
I must say i agree with most of the designers points. It still has to be easy on the eyes and gameplay, artistic perfection is not the main point. And, as others have pointed out, if it's too "happy" for you, adjust the gamma, not the game. Comma coma, must rest...
If the Holy See doesn't comply, the warrior knights, renowned for liberating the Holy Land, will deploy that most fearsome of weapons: the Holy Hand Grenade offe Antioch.
Would a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp accept biometrics or ICT implants? I guess the answer is "no". All inmates of Nazi concentration camps were tattooed. Of course, compared with current sophisticated ICT technology that is a quite primitive way to identify persons - but, unfortunately, it worked perfectly sixty years ago. A tattoo hardly can be removed; ICT implants are quite difficult to remove; biometrics cannot be removed at all without causing severe harm - of course you can throw away your eyes as shown in the motion picture "Minority Report", but that is no real option. The possibility of identification anyone anytime everywhere may be no problem in a free society and a state ruled by the law. And of course, don't get me wrong here, those who currently promote ICT implants and biometrics for identification purposes are not Nazis. However, we all know that societies and states can change completely and rapidly. Therefore, we should try not to willingly provide means to the state and its agents that make omnipresent control and suppression possible.
I don't play pay MMORPGs, & I'm not familiar with PvP on WoW either, but I asked just this question to a friend playing WOW. Apparently, both players (or both player and bot) have to have PvP-"On" to be able to damage each other. There seem to be area's and indeed servers where Pvp is auto-"On". I wonder if just shooting them would work there. I'm reasonably sure someone on/. can tell us. Not that I really care, I still prefer QIII Arena/E.T. for on-line fun. And people running aim-bots and x-ray vision mods occur there too, but are just pounced on by all other players, once detected, in-game. Full bots are usually target practice. Not that you can compare the two games, but I think it's a "problem" that's going to get worse in the near future for digital game designers.

What do Nazis have to do with it?
You've not seen any of the Indiana Jones movies apparently.
They should be working on "post-cloud computing Windows" instead.
