"Failed attempt"? When that day happened, I was working at a casual food place and we were scared as hell about that day. I know that other places were the same too.
The point was made quite clearly to the people with the only real power in this nation: the corporations.
I was gonna buy Prey, since it was from the local game studio. Then I asked what it was like and the guy basically said: The new things where cool, but it was too easy. You die and you spend 30 seconds shooting stuff and then you come back alive. Don't buy it.
One of the best anti-stress games I have is Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved. All the colors and lights are quite soothing to me.
Halo 2 works because it makes me forget whatever I was stressed about and focus on those damn Legendary Elites. Refocusing stress is fun!
And who can forget nethack? Nothing like comparing your bad day to someone who's pet kitty died due to a falling rock and who is stuck in a dark dank dungeon with only a shield and a sword. Of course, this game is a double-edged sword. About the worst thing that can happen is getting addicted right before exams.
I've always found all of Microsoft-published RTS games (Age of Empires, Rise of Nations, and their sequels) to be really fun, so I'll just throw that in there. AoE2 is definitely my favorite game of all time.
And then there is Real Life. Nothing compares to just hanging out with some friends to get rid of stress. I haven't gotten to the last boss, but I hear you'll die facing him. Fun game nonetheless.
This is strange. I played Nethack for a good hour today, yet I'm doing just fine with my homework.
In fact, I would go as far as to say that that hour helped me. It was a great way to clear my head of discrete mathematics to make way for Shakespearian analysis.

Why shouldn't it be?
You're proving that the editors of WSJ got it run because wikipedia says so?
When we went over Kent State in high school, my (conservative) teacher tried to show that it really was the protester's fault for being shot.
I am dead serious. (pun not intended)
Since when was ad hominem Insightful?
When they give you a bad review.

And I followed his advice.
Google is pulling a Microsoft: buying out a competitor.
Wouldn't that be "non-geek and geek"?
I've seen it before. Doesn't interest me much though, I'd rather have a controller to use than whatever that uses.
These aren't in any order.

Good thing this headline wasn't a "Massive Hole Found in Linux" panic headline!
Why didn't I have sex at 15 or 16? :(
$60 bucks plus the $50 (or $60) you payed for the base game? Hopefully this isn't the case, but if Half-Life 2 is any indication......

Damn you Google! Always stealing my +5 Funny.
What civil liberties do you speak of?
"Someone who has proven their ability to ignore the law in the past can no longer be trusted in a position of responsibility"
So I guess if I went over the speed limit I could never be held responsible again? I mean, that is ignoring the law.

Unlike other countires, our stated agenda isn't to wipe countries off the map.
That's just a side effect of our agenda.
Ah yes. The ol' sneakily turn someone's computer into a thin client.
Get's 'em every time.
And if we nuked all of Iraq in the first place, maybe we wouldn't be in this mess.
The amount of force isn't what got us into the mess. A lying head of state did.
Oblivion.
So is it now legally binding in Germany?
What does this say about propietry software's licenses?
Amazing! That's the combination to my luggage!
