@James Cain: The universe doesn't work to prevent paradox-causing events in the present, such as killing your grandfather. This universal safety mechanism would only apply to changing events in the past that are dependent on present (like the time traveller time-travelling).

@Covenant: It should have been N/A for the batteries, but the rest is accurate ;)

@James Cain: So the loop breaks and you head off on a tangent, that sounds plausible. What isn't is that series of events that led to you, and your time-travelling ways could not have occurred if you weren't born in the original timeline, since your grandfather was dead, your father was dead, and you weren't born.

@TouchMyMonkey: time to celebrate with a Victory whiskey.

@Captain_Tripps: lol

@Robotronic: Wow, such a dream crusher. I guess you are a compactor or garburator model of robot?

@AgentCoop: Do you really need further explanation? It's pretty a priori.

@Igor Neumann: Or unicorns, especially the pink and invisible kind.

@Glenn Barres: Y'know why science doesn't have an explanation for all things? Because the human endeavor of science is still in its infancy. Science can, but we as a people haven't.

@mintycrys will Vanquish you!: Solid analysis, thank! I'll keep an eye out for these matches :)

Regarding the appearance of the acceleration of the expansion of the universe, I believe this concept has a lot of merit.

Honestly, I feel really bad for BLIZZARD.

@Nulls: Are you kidding? OF COURSE the Activison execs think marketing can fix this image problem.

@mrpibb79: Hear hear. That would fix it. If they kept their promises. From what I hear they have a hard time with that.

@selderane: You're absolutely right. That's how "the system" works. The record studio fronts the artist's production costs. The Hollywood studios front the movie's production costs, and the game publishers front the development group's video game making costs. They "take the risk" and so they rake most of the…

@MyNameIsNobody: F—k it, let's go back to horse and carts to get around.
