So wrong - see "It's all about exposure, dummy" reply. (Not aimed at you, either) and in the end work place injuries are accidents for the most part - not some 'plan' by the employer to injury the HALPless employee. Granted, there are safty violations that should be severely punished by law, but this isn't the rule as much as the exception.
We find that more accidents occur from employees' failing to head to directions and protocol.
Title was more for giggles - not aimed at anyone.
I work in the work comp realm. The reason why this is a bad idea is solely due to exposure. In the same light as why a blanket gym membership wouldn't be approved, this is not being (or shouldn't be) approved.
Rehab needs to be monitored and directed by someone professional. If this guy hurts himself while milking some cow or rabid rabbits (or whatever that game is called) then that injury would be compensable as a consequence of treatment for his injury.
Now, IF the Wii was within the office of his therapist there would be any issues as the treatment would be directed and monitored.
Pretty much - people who complain that the game is 'dumb'd down' never played their old rules set - which were horrible.
I also will touch on people moaning about cost because 'of less customers' No - you greedy little nerds - they are raising the prices because they are giving you MOAR plastic in bits (mini accessories) on each spru.
You are wrong. I owned a game shop for 4 years and none of this happened. They will push crappy games like nobody's business, but you don't 'have' to buy, or stock, any one item.
Seriously...I find it funny that when a company performs well and puts out solid product(s) they get so much hate. So much jealously with geeks. I'm not a SC player - the game just looks so-so to me. DIII was a lot of the same, mindless clicking and lots of killing - for some reason it never loses it's appeal. The WoW changes are very cool - guild levels and all.
There's no competition between Valve and Blizz- two different markets entirely. Bnet changes are something that should have happened long ago.
I disagree, there was a time during Bush's presidency where to criticize or question Bush's policy was equated to being an unpatriotic traitor. I'm pretty sure the Dixie Chicks experienced a lot of the vitriol, public shunning and public crucifixion you don't seem to remember anymore.
You don't remember or refused to understand what happened.
The Dixie chicks were shunned BY THEIR CUSTOMERS because their customers held different views of the current situation. Never ONCE were the DixChicks dragged before the media and skewered, in fact the were regarded as something 'super.' (why I have no idea..)
They were reckless and moronic to say/do the things they did given their medium. I'm glad that it destroyed their career. Stars need to figure out that they shouldn't express their opinions, its not what people want to see or hear.
Also - it would have been cool for Barry NOT to include lobbyist in his top level cabinet.
Please note - if you have NO experience running something and yet you claim that you'll change the flaws in a system..you DON'T surround yourself with people who have supported the system for over 20 years.
mediocre gameplay?!?! The game was great, and the game play was more original than any of the titles you listed. I'm not sure how long you've been playing games, but from you post not long enough to find a good one.
I'm still waiting for this...ACLU is nothing more than an anti-Christian organization with no really goal to improve the lives of Americans.
If you think our liberties have been attacked under Bush, just wait until Barry O and Nanny Pelosi take the wheel.
I'm not trying to be annoying but this tech is not that cutting edge. Companys that make miniatures for games use just about this same thing all the time and have been for a while.
All that being said - it still is pretty cool to seeit being used in the fashion.
FYI - you also get points for playing in supported tournaments and such. You don't HAVE to buy packs to get the points for in game gear. However, they are trying to make $$$. Hats off to them for such an evil plan.

"pro-business conservative mentality" - wow, how wrong are you?

Pricey dice?! 3 bucks for dice and that's 'pricey'

Simma' down people. If you don't like something you vote with your $$ - don't buy the game at all.
It's not only good for the medical industry.

Indeed. The record companies AGAIN are going to fail to see an avenue that will only HELP their sagging business.
Progress? Are you sure about that?

#4. You have no idea what you're talking about.
..just as soon as you show what I've lost.
There is nothing in here that will help anyone. The failure has only begun.

Blizzard is already in the process of making a movie. In fact they have already snagged the studio that did 300 for the filming.

The person who is going to lose anything over WoW, has already lost it to something else.
