I'd suggest Binding of Isaac, that's GREAT value for the money. It's like $3 and I've played it for 40+ hours while others have gone past the 100 hour mark!
That's not an argument. The last time game prices got hiked the hike was propagated to the other territories as well. So Australia will pay even more after this goes through.
Are you sure Dead Space's anti-horror part was the third person view and not the giant effing cannons that rip the supposed horrors apart in funny ways?
if I kill a zombie, it should stay fucking dead
I thought the whole point of a zombie is that it's dead and still moving.
Complain about that elsewhere, the fees for universities in Germany are fairly reasonable, around 750€ per semester in the worst case (public uni only, of course) which would be in Lower Saxony where the state charges an extra 500€. The theoretical regular time for a BSc degree is 6 semesters, i.e. 4500€ for the degree in Lower Saxony, 1500€ in other states. That's little more than you'd need to get a driver's license.
The fees I've seen are around 250€ for the administrative fees and 500€ in state tuition fees (I think only Lower Saxony applies that fee anymore). The admin fees often include a train train ticket for the whole state and a bus ticket for the city (valid for the whole semester).
Should be a B-, grades go from 1.0 (A) to 4.0 (D) with 5 (fail) as a separate option (there are no grades between 4.0 and 5.0). That's the academic grade, schools go from 1+ (A+) to 4 for passing grades and 4- (D-) to 6 (F) for failing grades (use a 0-15 point scale in the upper grades of the school system...).
Sounds right provided we're talking about a subject that takes place mostly in your head (e.g. math or computer science, you'll need to do practical work for more physical subjects), the old diploma system (in the bachelor system the university keeps track of your completed courses) and a full university, not a university of applied sciences ("Fachhochschule", these tend to have mandatory exercises).
Also one state charges 500€ per semester but I think everywhere else there's no tuition on public universities (there's a mandatory fee for things like your student ID card, public transportation ticket and some other paperwork) until you go 4 semesters above the regular length.
When Steam was introduced the HL2 EULA specifically allowed you to "repack" your CD key for a 20$ handling fee, the key could then be used by someone else. I guess they'll be forced to automate that now.
They also handle advertising and distribution deals and stuff but even then the do-it-yourself route is likely more profitable for you. Lower sales at a MUCH higher cut still means more money for you.
Hell, even in videogames where the conventional wisdom is that you can't go without a publisher to retail there's a company called Larian (Divinity series, currently working on Dragon Commander) that did the math and figured out it's cheaper to hire distribution companies directly instead of going through a publisher.
Be careful with weakening the federal govt too much. You have a currency union and without a united government you run the risk of something like the EU debt crisis. Leave the states too independent and some of them could turn into Greeces and cause similar issues for the US dollar as the PIIGS have for the Euro. A central government can reallocate govt resources to grow weaker areas until they're up to snuff and later reap the rewards for that, dealing with sovereigns gets a whole lot more complicated.
Even in countries with universal healthcare employers sometimes choose to offer additional health benefits in order to increase employee loyalty and happiness (both of which translate to higher productivity). From my perspective as a German it seems silly that people even talk about dental plans because here basic dental work is covered by even the most basic health plans. Basic dental work means you get a reasonably simple solution to your problem (cavities and root canals are covered fully, for example) and if you want something fancier (better filling, laser treatment, etc) you pay only for the difference which seems rather small compared to what I heard about pricing in the US (200â is already considered a lot here). So most of the time you come home from the dentist with no bill.

Nope, Walter received a Darwin Award despite surviving.
It's a typo, he meant EA. Because in the EU you pay 70€ for console games.

I think in reality it will be more like the Battleship game. Left 4 Dead was actually good.
It's € , pretty intuitive.

Okay, that's the kind of source you need to attribute because the Bild is a notorious liar.
Someone who's savvy enough to get a degree that fast is probably also savvy enough to grab some legal insurance and fight it out.
Being a knight meant you had already made it to some degree, a knight usually owned land.
A default seems unlikely, this is probably covered by legal insurance.

I believe the device restriction on OEM licenses is illegal in at least some countries of the EU (e.g. Germany).

I think his point was that prohibition didn't actually stop people from drinking, just from doing so legally.

I live in Germany, here it's illegal to drive a car without liability insurance, probably because of the damage a car can cause.
Is it legal in your country to drive a car uninsured?
The news articles I've seen here (outside the US) state that the penalty only applies if you could afford health care.
