You'll be fine, but you'll be missing out on all the callbacks the game has to the first. Nearly every side quest in ME1 is worked into the game somehow, be it just an email from one of the persons involved, or even the basis of an entire mission in the game.
You make it sound like Bill O'Reilly is some kind of controlling figure in what the Red Cross does with its money. If what you said is true, it's not as if the Red Cross has to listen to the media pundits.
If a game is great, I don't think the price you paid matters at all. I paid $15 for Braid on Xbox Live Arcade late 2008 and absolutely loved it. I saw the game for like $2 on the Steam sale over the holiday and was just smiling at how cheap it was now because so many more people would try it out. It didn't seem to matter to me at all that I paid almost eight times more than the current asking price.
Of course, that game was only $15 to begin with.
I'm getting the collector's edition of Mass Effect 2 on Tuesday, that's a $70 drop but I'm honestly confident the game is going to rock and that price will be irrelevant in the long run. If the game sucks, at least I can jump on the reseller's market early.
People assure you that there's not backstory to catch up on because the games are entirely unrelated from each other. Except for FFX-2 and FFXII Revenant Wings, the main series has no direct sequels.
Square is starting to go back to the world of Ivalice more, but FFXII is the only main series game that takes place there.
As mature adults, I think mentoring is a great way to use the skills you've acquired. Sure, you won't be doing computer networking, but you probably have a great understanding of math that you could use to help out a middle school kid who's struggling. Your wife's counseling skills would undoubtedly come in handy.
My wife and I have been mentoring a young girl now for almost three years and she just told me yesterday she might be moving, so it's been on my mind all day. But the experience has been really worthwhile and you help out a local kid.
The average consumer isn't buying video cards, especially not "top of the line" ones. Whether Nvidia is doing this or not, I don't think it will have much affect on the market.
And it's not like you can compare model numbers of Nvidia cards to those of ATI's and figure things out, if they did that, everyone would just buy ATI anyway.
I would much rather stay at a hostel, all the conversation with a real bed. Sure, you have to share a room with some other travelers, but it beats being cramped or feeling claustrophobic.
I always saw that as Luke transcending technology, and not trying to be anti-tech. Heck, the guy still needs his X-Wing to go anywhere in space and his main tool, the lightsaber, is a piece of technology.

I was reading about OCR accuracy in my Game Developer magazine just last night, and they were lamenting that 98% accuracy really wasn't good enough for them. I know that the difference between personal and professional use is rather wide, but they printed a few sentences with 98% accuracy and I will admit, it was distracting. Of course, if they hadn't mentioned, would I have noticed?

My pants...
this is idle, right?
Probably not a Slashvertisement, but instead just Slashdot trying to jump on they hype train and garner some hits.

SquareEnix re-released Final Fantasy IV outside of Japan on the DS as Final Fantasy IV, so that's what they're calling that now.
Cecil is not in Final Fantasy II (as the numbering scheme now goes) so he's not clearly seen.

Somehow BioWare is surviving, even if they're pushing DLC more obnoxiously than ever.
It sounds so much better when you put it that way: the government forced individuals and companies to change what film they were showing.
Canceling mod.
E.T. nearly killed off an entire industry. Though I'm sure that's just what history remembers as its death blow.

Yeah, on Korriban where they get to torture suspects and practice their force lightning on meatbags.

Except no where in the summary or title does it mention decade, just 2000-2009.
Just watched the whole thing, entertaining, but I couldn't get over the fact that the narrator sounded like Dr. Zoidberg.
At least I have the option to not give Microsoft any money if I don't agree with their practices.
IANAL, but she's filed the suit as Jane Doe. Whether this actually protects her or not someone who is a lawyer may be able to chime in.
Oh, I clicked one of those hoping that the media had thought the attack was real, War of the Worlds style.
Too bad.
An hour is a long time to do mundane crap. I should know.
Older than dirt!? So what, this could happen like any moment then??
Or simply ticket stubs sold?
