Sure, and that's the problem, by proxy. See, I may want to play a specific game, but in order to play it, I'm forced to buy a Blu-ray/PS3 (which this game presumably doesn't need). I don't like it when good games are released only on one platform, and the Blu-ray drive just adds salt into the wound for some.
Actually, you might want to look into getting a DS, and Advance Wars: Dual Strike on top of that. Turn based, so no problem with pausing a game, and you can just close the DS and it goes into sleep/powersave mode. It's the perfect device for just that kind of gaming.
And besides that, if you have a good camera, you can charge the battery outside in a separate charger. AFAIK Li-ion batteries are in danger of exploding if charged improperly, not during normal usage.
Responsible gun owners cannot be catastrophes waiting to happen, that's a ridiculous notion. But I'm not talking about them at all. I'm talking about the irresponsible gun owners.
Gun ownership doesn't translate to intelligence, upstandingness and moral fiber any more than having an internet connection does. And we all here know what kind of people have internet connections.
So you're saying that daydreaming about working in a soup kitchen isn't enough to make you do good, you have to play a game about working in a soup kitchen in order to raise your community service meter, to do good?
No, that's not doing good, that's still just playing around. Similarly, if you play violent games and leave it at that, then no problem. But if you repeatedly play games that showcase or glorify actual violence, with real people and events, especially people/events close to you, it will affect your thinking, no? If you then fall into a depression spiral and go on a killing spree, wouldn't the violent games have played a part then? To take your example of the other extreme, if you play happy video games all day long about saving the world and helping people in need, that'd likely affect your thinking as well.
Would you rather play games that make you happy, or games that make you sad[1]? I think it's an interesting question that shouldn't summarily be dismissed as Jack-Thompsonitis.
Or, perhaps games don't affect you at all, in which case, what the hell are you playing for then?
In any case, I'm not talking about GTA here, but the kind of games that are actually disturbing on some level.
[1] I know this happy/sad distinction doesn't correlate with violence levels

The 'ju' is with a soft 'ch'-sound, not with a stressed 'i'-sound.
Ah, just google it. It was in the South Korean news a few days ago.
I've been dating someone who is a two weeks drive away for a couple of years now...

Bad analogy. All cars can presumably take you from A to B, while a 360 can't take a PS3 exclusive game.
Better, living room: 3 players on a racing game, no need for tiny splitscreens.
Until your boss asks you why you're not rolling around like crazy on your chair in order to actually use the display.
That's OK for your home PC, but public computers? Have you seen the average color of their keyboards?

We're all assholes one way or another, some a bit less so.
Yes, and capital letters were presumably eradicated in 1.4.
Violational proctology of course, what else?
Nothing glides through on their own without being powered somehow. Muscle contractions power feces, but only one way. This one does the work itself.
So... how to root the machine?

Yes, the upstanding 2% of the population agrees with you. Now, what about the rest?
