Pretty much all the standard geek activities and interests are available in meat-space versions. Are you into anime, science fiction, comics, board gaming, computer gaming, or programming? There's probably a meetup, a store-based community, a club at a local university, and an annual convention for that, all within an hour of you if you're in or near a major city.
two-fold, really: germany gets absolutely no benefit of the doubt on censorship, and there are much more important things to worry about than video games.
"Someone"? Really? Color me paranoid, but I'd be inclined to suspect at least a little bias from a website named "unitehowto.com". Are we sure kdawson didn't get hold of timothy's posting account?
marathon infinity had possibly the most convoluted easter egg in the history of gaming: two terminals, the text of which you had to extract, concatenate, apply a proper header to, de-binhex, and unarchive. it then became a secret level and a preview of the next game by the guys who did the level design (which unfortunately never shipped).
wow, the best i ever did was get stuck (and scolded by a gm) in the brier patch that used to guard to road to ghostlands before bc came out. i suck./cry
With Settlers I try to encourage collusion and to try to bend the rules trading

that's often even worse: every geosync bounce is 280ms all on its own; a direct fiber line would be about 40ms. now, they could have dedicated SIPRNet ocean cable, which should come close to that 40ms.

The American pilots seeing the most combat in Iraq and Afghanistan right now do so from flight consoles in the United States
I'm sure this has been addressed in previous articles, but I'm surprised they get acceptable performance with the latency that entails. I have a hard enough time steering my dwarf rogue around Northrend when I'm at 400ms ping, I'd hate to be flying multi-million dollar killing machines under those conditions.
Haven't you seen Life of Brian? You have every right in the world to have babies. It's no one's fault, not even the Romans', if you haven't got a womb.
Information on the web is neither decentralized nor distributed, except to the extent that you pay Akamai huge sums of money to make it so. Usenet, bittorrent, and IRC are, as is the underlying TCP/IP. (Email is as a network, but not at the end-points.) Individual websites live on specific machines in specific places and are subject to all the usual single-point-of-failure vulnerabilities.
Does Ray Ozzie really have the name recognition around here to not note that he works for Microsoft? I could see it for Gates or Ballmer, but it took me a minute to remember who he was, let alone where he works.
i read somewhere about a pilot flying an empty cargo plane (large-size jet, iirc) back who put it through a vertical loop (vomit-comet style) just for fun. seriously annoyed the company, as it knocked a few thousand hours off the lifespan of the plane.

If only Germany had protected its citizens from violent video games in the 1930's, imagine how many lives would have been saved!

It's called PNS Syndrome in my neck of the woods, but yes.

I don't know if it's due to a generally depressed demeanour, but most people prefer to look down, at their feet, rather than up at the sky.
