I believe it is possible to shoot an animal in such a way that it does not die immediately. If not dropped right away, it could travel for hours or even days with bullet or arrow damage until it finally, painfully dies of slow bleeding or infection.

But that's sort of my point - the professional/social angle has nearly faded away. Now it's just about people seeing bits.

Ok, you might be pissed. But would you dump her over it if they were, I dunno, released by some angry ex?

Let's do it an even more sensible way - if you DON'T want to be an organ donor, put it in your will or tell your family so they can tell doctors. That way less people die.

"Do not take pictures of yourself naked on your phone."

> The one where he saves the kid that shot at him seconds before... dumb.

Strap some simtex on it and we're halfway to slamhounds.

"When seventy eight years old *you* reach, look as good *you* will not, hmm?"

Without active mucous production, there's no reason to believe that the penis (or genital area) is producing/releasing cold and influenza germs, so that's not really what we're talking about here. If anything, the infection vector is much more likely to be towards the penis from contact with snotty,…

I noticed the total removal of any espionage aspect in Civ 5. Also culture, Wonders, religion - all got scaled down lots. Leaders became way less important. Stacking went away so you don't have a lot of units. Tech trading eliminated. City defense is nearly as baseline as possible. Civics dumbed down. …

I read it - and I pretty much agree with you. Also, I like the molehill on Everest image.

I think I said earlier that I'm fine with more casual games - fine as in I buy, play, and enjoy, not as in having a grudging tolerance for the genre.

Perhaps, but this "fun" slope is awfully slippery. Man, I grew up on games like 360's Harpoon, Omnitrend's Universe, and Elite. Those games were deep and complex. I mean, I am all in favor of casual games - I loaded on up a lot of them on the recent Steam sale - but I was looking for Diablo 3 to really offer a deep…

So, Always Online attempts to prevents such things by scanning your computer.

But at least it made some sort of sense at the RPG level, no? Why would my character automatically recognize that this sword is +4 in melee and offers 40% fire protection? Rings don't often come with instruction manuals. We're sending warriors and wizards into dungeons, not appraisers from antiques roadshow.

I don't mind the government spaces. At certain times of the day I can park there just fine. Also, I'm happy to cut teachers and such a break.

I don't really have a problem with washing hands post-peeing. I like to wash my hands every so often during the course of a day and since I'm right there in the bathroom it just makes sense.

Motorcycle racer chops off finger to avoid missing Superbike season? Shocker.

"Alien life"

Of course they are characterized as being dirty - society says that just touching it to go to the restroom demands an immediate and complete hand-washing. There still exist some women who will absolutely refuse to put one in their mouths and, should the man have the unfortunate reaction to ejaculate, will refuse to…
