Our best games are unbelievably cheap on a per hour basis, compared to, say $1.00 per hour for paperback books, and $5-10 an hour for movies and DVD's....Because they pad their games with mind numbing chores. Half life episode 1 has a $5.00/1hour ratio. That's on par with a Movie. I would much rather play less of a better game than visa versa; it's a waste of time otherwise.
my friend and I were at target the other day, and we noticed that there hasent been ANY new good console games in MONTHS (most notibly for the 360)! if there were games available that are decent, people would be buying them.
Massive global warming is usually caused by a chain reaction of phenomena. Some 55 million years ago, a volcano erupted in what's now known as Indonesia; the carbon dioxide from the eruption raised the earth temp just 2 degrees. Soon after, a methane gas (another greenhouse gas) build up under the Greenland ice sheet was released due to glacial melting. This resulted in a runaway global warming of 10 degrees, spawning an evolutionary bottleneck. It is not wrong to assume that dumping literally millions of years of trapped C02 into the atmosphere in a span of 100 years can set off rapid global warming. Granted, these time scales are larger that a human's life, but we do have offspring... cite (http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Newsroom/NasaNew s/2001/200112106303.html)

I dig for dinasourse in the desert and I use a Panasonic Toughbook. It's great because the LCD is sealed against dust.
