As someone who's done time at both Ivy Tech and BSU, I am also shocked at this- I got the impression my classmates were barely capable of melting butter on a hot day.
I don't know about that- Clive Barker's Undying was high-quality, but sold disappointingly, and the only complaint I've ever heard from anyone about it is that it loads every thirty seconds. Maybe lots of loading is a killer.
There's this thing where someone is full of rage, or despair, or hate, or somesuch, and they can't help but project it upon the rest of the world. Psychiatric help: the life you save may well be your own.
It's "USians" to avoid using "Americans" to refer to 300 million people when there are legitimately over a billion people who can claim the name "American."
I usually do get a lot of time out of my games. I just don't feel that I should have to spend hours shaving hundredths of seconds off a race time, or spend hours searching for hidden nooks and crannies, or alt-tab to gamefaqs every thirty seconds in order to see everything I paid for.
Yeah, but not everyone wants to sit and play the same game for weeks on end. Why should I get access to less of the game than you simply because I haven't the time nor the inclination to spend hundreds of hours on it?
In further proof that Analee Newitz is a goddess, last year she got Jack Valenti to autograph a Beta cassette- containing a recording of Valenti's Boston Strangler speech.
All many relions do is say our personal and societal values were given to us by a higher power.
Which makes them unquestionable. Sure, my beliefs and ideas "control" me, but organised religion is to proprietary software as my discordianism is to free software: you're not allowed to tamper with yours, but rewriting mine from the ground up is rather the point.

And I'm afraid of cowardly, treasonous little bitches like you that's happily goosestep our way into the fascist toilet.

Better that they starve to death than they be exploited by evil Western corporations.
Or the companies could pay a decent wage and accept slightly lower profits.
Fucking murderous capitalists and your false dichotomies.
I'm suggesting that being born south of the US is in most cases a recipe for very poor living conditions.
Not really- that's a flawed analogy. It might be analogous if it were common to refer to the English and only the English as "United Kingdomers."
There are two American continents: North and South. The Central American region is split between the two but is mostly part of North America.
You've never actually been south of the US, have you?

Take your synecdoche elsewhere.
Fallout, Arcanum, KOTOR, Deus Ex, Earthbound...
I'm sorry, Final Fantasy who?

It should be my choice how I play the game.
Ahhh, okay. So two kumquats are one fruit, since you prefer apples and kumquats are half the size of apples.
You might avoid academia- you'd find it a scary place.

What the hell are you babbling about?
And we have been dragged kicking and screaming into it!

I make mention of my discomfort with my fellow Americans, and I get +1, but I make an analogy between religion and software and get nothing? Oy.
As an American, I spend a lot of time alternately baffled, terrified, annoyed, and enraged at my fellow citizens. We're a bizarre place.
The fact that it's illegal for us to accept doesn't make it illegal for them to offer.
Also, Minerva chapter 2 is out? Hot damn! *gets to downloading... legally, of course, since it's free. And shiny.*
Responsibility? Police?
Mod parent up funny. This guy's a comedic genius!

I'm further amused that you think the only alternative to private property is no right to private possession.
Tell me one about clowns!
Count on an American to see only private value.
I would guess that it leaves them as worthless as ever.
