That's what I thought too, but here is wiki's explanation:
"In 1940, John W. Eckelberry of DuPont stated that the letters "nyl" were arbitrary and the "on" was copied from the suffixes of other fibers such as cotton and rayon. A later publication by DuPont explained that the name was originally intended to be "No-Run" ("run" meaning "unravel"), but was modified to avoid making such an unjustified claim and to make the word sound better.[6] An apocryphal tale is that Nylon is a conflation of "New York" and "London". Equally spurious is the backronym for "Now You've Lost, Old Nippon" referring to the supposed loss of demand for Japanese silk."
I got mine through the internal update thing after clicking check for updates:) Started it, let it update when I went to bed and bada bing, bada boom, woke up to a nicely patched PC, working wonderfully I might add.
Ah my apologies then, if you had said this instead of that one-liner, you wouldn't even have gotten that moderation that you did. Gameplay in an adventure is often difficult to do, a lot of it is filled in by puzzles, quick time events and action sequences. The trick is to balance them correctly. More often than not, that balance just isn't there.
Personally, I quite like adventure games, I have been playing them since Larry 1 in holy-smokes-batman 4 colour cga. Learning english to type the correct things to make the story go forward, feeling that accomplishment when I solved a difficult puzzle and laughing at all the jokes.
The games I enjoyed the most are adventure games, with such gems as Day of the Tentacle and basically all of the Lucasarts franchise before they only released Star Wars games, Quest for Glory because of the added action and rpg elements, Space Quest because of all the comedy, including all the different ways you could die (the only game where you wanted to die, just to see the joke), etc.
These days adventure games do not live up to their heritage, are less fun and more predictable, so now I play RPG's, good stories, fun strategic battles and comedy here and there (Praise Bioware).
P.S. See if you can borrow or rent Heavy Rain for the PS3, it's mostly good for 1 playthrough, but it is 10 kinds of awesome:)

This may not be the legal way to retaliate, but I approve anyway!
It sounds delicious and challenging :)

I love Shatner in Boston Legal, hate him in Shit my dad says, that last show sucks gallons of ass :(
Are you calling her fat? ;)
True enough, but I was assuming that the guy had a PS3 :)
While I do not see a problem with downloading a game that I can't get any other way, the GP could always import it without too much troubles.
It's like the "Subway" sandwhiches in Chuck.
WAYYY over the top. Quite fucking annoying.

This is a japanese phenomenon, that game cabinet was only made by a korean company.
