Should read "sorta supports all the Microsoft Office formats". While it does a good job for many documents, some others get mangled or have things misaligned, missing, etc. A lot of people won't allow the compromise and will demand nothing less than full compatibility.
We've had this discussion a thousand times already. People won't just move to OpenOffice.org because you say so.
Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Good news, everyone. Tomorrow, you'll all be making a delivery to Redmond 9, the virus planet. Hermes: Why can't they go today? Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Because tonight's a special night and I want you all to be alive. It's the Ottawa Linux symposium. Fry: Wow, I love symposia! Professor Hubert Farnsworth: It's the scientific event of the season. Every member presents their own custom kernal build. The best one wins the Academy prize. Bender: Sounds boring. Professor Hubert Farnsworth: Oh my, yes.
I suck at humor, so if you don't like it you can bite my...
My guess is you'd install the full image first, THEN get prompted to remove the things you don't want after installation. It's not as if this is a truly bad thing - hell, Ubuntu 6.06 did the same thing when I installed it. It would install all the language packages for some reason THEN remove everything except English.
I can appreciate someone not liking the episodic format, but I notice you say how 5 hours of gameplay is worth $5 in your opinion. By this logic, there are very few games (particularly FPSes) that would provide this kind of value. Can't really blame the episodic nature of the game for this lack of value you are suggesting. In any case, I expect future eps to probably be $15, given a lot of material and content can be shared between eps.
Also, keep in mind that multiplayer and a special Arena mode will be added to Emergence later on in the year, so you are getting even more after the initial cost.
The appeal comes from the fact that you don't have to deal with retarded and immature kids who say things like "gay", "fag" and "lol" all the time. You can immerse yourself in another universe and keep it that way, without being ripped out of the experience by said kids.
The exception of course is when playing with people you know to be mature. Still, I enjoy experiencing a game where a world and story is created from the minds of others and is waiting to be explored, and that's were the AI enemies come it.

Aye, multiplayer is rather fun. It's just a pity there aren't enough people playing online to make it worthwhile.
...possibly foam insulation has been seen falling off the shuttle during launch.
Hmm. I forget whether this is classified as "normal" or serious for a shuttle.
