Ever played System Shock 2? It's almost like Deus Ex on a spaceship (I think they were made by the same company) and it has coop, if you can get it to work. I never have. SWAT4 has coop which is pretty damn good, but it's brutal and probably out of reach for your friends. FEAR is a really brilliant game and I hear it has a coop mod, but I've never tried it, and it's also probably too demanding. Operation Flashpoint has coop, but is possibly even more unforgiving than SWAT4 (much like its soon to be released sequel, Armed Assault).
Possibly the best coop game I've ever played is Myth 2, but it's an RTS (sort of, it really deals with tactics rather than strategy). Regardless, it's really fun and should be tried by everyone. It has dwarfs that throw molotov cocktails, blowing goblins to their component pieces! And other goblins can then pick up those pieces and throw them! The carnage is *unbelievable*!
I know this was a joke, but this is actually a proper scientific study. If it was research into rogue alligator attacks instead of colds, what they would have done was picked a set of random people, interviewed them to discover whether they ate bananas regularly, and then locked them in a room with an angry alligator. You cannot discredit this study by using the tiger repellent rock approach.
Darwinism applies. It just doesn't work properly. It really is far too early to tell, though. We've been coddled like we are for, what, 200 years maybe? Civilisation itself hasn't been around long enough for evolution to really do a job on it, so the current trend to airheadedness is nothing.
What the fuck? You're complaining because the AI is brilliant?
And if you can't pick up on what's going on by listening to what Betters says after you upload stuff from a a laptop, or listening to the voicemails, well..your comprehension sucks. A lot.
If by "cheered for blindly" you mean "lambasted by anti-Sony articles for a straight week after the rootkit debacle", then yes, you're quite right.
Ignoring the whole "slashdot is one person!" fallacy, has it EVER been popular opinion here to like Sony? I don't know, maybe a good while ago, but as far as I can remember their cartel arm has always been hated, and that arm's been twisting the electronics arm resulting in DRM-laden products, and their products have mostly been shoddy anyway.
Oh, and I despise the Playstation, and the Xbox. Don't like the Gamecube much, though the Revolution looks rather promising. So I took your comment as a personal affront, which I shouldn't have, since it's just a troll.
GP wasn't saying using soap excessively breeds bacteria that are resistant to it, but that not exposing the body to bacteria that it will normally encounter as a matter of course means the immune system won't be able to cope with those bacteria when it does encounter them.
Basically, keeping your kid in a clean room and spraying everything he touches with Dettol Antibacterial Spray, or whatever that crap's called, means when he *does* catch something, something that would cause trivial symptoms if any in a health, normal person, it'll kill him.
Leastways, that's what I think he was saying, and if it was, then he's right, in my opinion.

"its source" is correct. At grammar naziing, you fail.
