@roughneck117: Well, you die a lot at first. You will go through a phase where you think it is entirely about luck; you will spend some time complaining about "bad hit registry"; you will at one point be thoroughly convinced that everyone around you is hacking.

I bet Warren Spector could get away with chainsaws.
@sedimin: I think they were just looking for a quick way to test the pegs; I imagine they could put something more sophisticated on there if they wanted.
@Kolian: Er, that top one is supposed to say DVI...
Hardware industry: Okay guys, we're all switching to this new standard called HDMI.

@pan1da7: I love you guys.
@Lockgar: You can also get raped in Fallout 2, and you have to in FMV adventure game Phantasmagoria (and you are a woman in the latter game).
@jayunreal: English courses are more or less what you would expect. If you enjoy reading books and talking/writing about them English is a good choice; if you hate doing close reading and writing papers, not so much.
