"Procedural" refers to the fact that content is being generated on-the-fly, rather than stored in giant texture files. It is derived from the procedural scripts used to define the parameters for the object to be created (although with the power of scripting languages today, one could argue that this no longer applies).
If you like playing games, play games.
If you don't like playing games, don't play games.
If you like agonising over every aspect of your life, go right ahead. Some people may even find it interesting.
God, I can't tell you how long I've been waiting to use that:-] But it was worth it.
I'd really like to see the others you have ready for this sort of occasion...
Someone else can deal with the implementation details, I'm just the ideas guy.
And I must admit, the main complaint I have about string theory is the endless crappy pop science documentaries with pictures of flashing loops of string that it's spawned.
String Theory is certainly an interesting mathematical theory, and that's fine - as a mathematician, I can respect that. But it has never had a single piece of confirming experimental evidence, and there are now suggestions that it in principle can't have confirming evidence. Given that a large part of the theoretical physics world has spent 30ish years on this, isn't it time to move on?
Toys'R'Us in Australia is taking preorders for both. When I got my Wii preorder a couple of weeks ago, there were about 20 on the list for Wii, three for PS3. Kind of interesting, especially when the PS2 really anihilated the GameCube here.
... supermarkets have been requested by the RIAA to enforce customer filtering (earplugs) or desist from allowing customers to listen to "The Best of Kenny G" at no charge. Consumer groups have rushed to support the move.

In fact, there's a wiki for this stuff.

YNot - does nothing.
Then you could try a real game ...

... of course not. Go is a board game and Bridge is a card game.
