How about self defense after we were attacked on September 11, 2001?
Self defence is a perfectly good example to using violence in a good way. However, you have to consider that self defence only works on the bully that beat you up and not on the kid you've always wanted to beat up.
Because it won't taste like meat. It'll taste "something like meat, but not quite as good". Like soya-based 'meat' products. It'll taste just a little more mediocre, more bland, and more 'homogenised' than the real thing. You may not care, but many people already think modern packaged foods (and society in general) has become too bland, mediocre and homogenous, and this is just another step towards the ultimate bland, generic society. (Maybe. Maybe not. Probably.) Of course, the first generation to grow up on the stuff will just think that's normal.
It'll taste ok if they synthesize some fat with that meat. Fat is where all the taste is.
Indeed, but then again, if it's gone, how would we know, especially a disease in the future? Quite possibly happened already---maybe dinosaur egg shells held the key to curing AIDS, cancer, and baldness?
*sigh* You're right. It's safe to say we're all doomed! DOOMED!!!!
Too true, but me and my wife are still having trouble concieving. I've told her a thousand times that sperm is absorbed through the skin on her stomach and back, but she thinks she might have heard something different in sex ed.
You idiot! Everyone knows that sperm needs to be swallowed in order to conceive! What videos were you watching?
You may not have published your own address, but be sure to know that the local telephone company has your name, address and home phone number published. From that information, much more can be found on public records.
Given the state of health care where I am... that 8 yr commute will be timed perfectly so that once I step off the space ship I'll finally have made my way to the top of the waiting list.

The GTA series by your calculations are practically free now. I've logged so many hours just driving around causing mayhem and nonsense that when totalled would probably be fractions of pennies per hour.
If I drove my car as often as a shuttle launches, then, yes, I would expect it to behave as new. Keep in mind, many of the tiles are replaced after every flight.
So you must drive your car pedal to the metal over speed bumps and ramps, through ditches and water, over fields and rocks? Because that's the type of stresses the shuttle goes through each launch and return.
Even if you drove your car once like that, I wouldn't trust your 21 year old car to make the trip from LA to NY without some sort of trouble regardless of maintenance.
Don't they have corporate licences that allow you to install on more than one computer? I'm pretty sure that's how they got things setup in large companies.
Just to clear this up: There is no "ratings board" per se; what the ESRB does is get a panel of regular citizens (parents even, I think) and shows them the worst content in the game, as well as representative gameplay. Then these people tell the ESRB what the game should be rated. There's no single panel of "experts" or anything, it's just regular people with no ties to the gaming industry.
I'm refering to the ones who set the categories. So parents might be the ones rating the game, but they are likely only given choices such as the Mature, Adult Only, Everyone etc. categories in which to cram a game title under.
However, it is the ESRB that creates these categories and defines them. So far, as it is defined, Sex is rated at a more restricted level than Violence, which suggests that the priorities are a bit off.
I wouldn't say America, more like those stuck up Holier-Than-Thou retards at the ratings board.
I can't see how sex is more evil than violence. Think of the utopia they want to have. A world with violence and no sex. Wait... wouldn't that be the fuckin apocalypse?

Indeed, when I die I'd first like to donate my body and/or organs to the needy first (if they are usable) and then to science.
If only you knew exactly what happens behind the closed doors of cadaver research, you would think otherwise.
The great thing about videogames is there aren't real-world consequences for your virtual actions.
It's a good thing too, don't know how many consecutive life sentences I would have received for my role in the death of the innocents in GTA:SA

Man invented fire for a reason.
On that note, man invented water because he was thirsty.
Makes sense?
Every time you masterbate god kills a kitten...
You call it "masterbate", I call it "population control".

Seriously, we're screwed.
I thought this was brilliant so I ran the idea past my wife. She said she didn't want urinal mints in her sink.
That was your first mistake.
It's easier to ask for forgiveness than for permission.
If the monkey is really on your back, it's not hard to smuggle snacks into a cinema.
Smuggle you say? Hmm... I would like to inquire about your services as a snack mule.
I'm green with envy.
So I guess the only real skills an EA game developer really needs is CTRL-C, CRTL-V and the ability to know what the current year is.
Take it off the hook and unplug the handset - it's a good 10 second solution for when you want the phone off but don't want to leave the bedroom...
Because 10 secs is all it takes? Niiice...

You learn more from pornos than sex-ed class. It's more hands-on.

I don't believe it specifically stated that you cannot fraternize with workers of a competitor.
I'm sure that would open up some eyes at your employers.
If you can't be friends with some of your co-workers, is your work environment really all that good anymore?

But if you're cheap like me and willing to wait a year you can still find clearance priced games for $10 to $20! :-D
Or, if you're even cheaper, I hear they pay YOU to take away their NES with 100+ games.

Larry Ellison is a wuss.
I'd say Richard Branson is more likely to go before Larry.

Well, Terminator is a good name for MS windows. It will surely end all your computer fun (-:
Well, I know for certain that Linux ended my computer fun.
WHERE ARE THE GAMES?!
