If you think the information age made damaging your professional reputation easier, you're very naive. A lot of professions are insular by nature, so its not a matter of the information age making it easier to do damage, its simply easier for the public to see the damage.

Because it forces players to arbitrarily 'get better' simply because the developers disapprove of a strategy. Its a cheap and shallow way to "balance" the game.

And there you go pointing out the contradictions: They wanted a way to reveal the bomb without having the characters kill a bunch of people. But the writers have already shown us that its all a sham with the "just in the nick of time-oh wait, no people were injured"-subway bombing. Thank you for proving my point.

Because Nine and Twelve's motives are an outright lie.

The realm of film-making doesn't make a story about the protagonists unveiling the evil government by crippling a major city. Thats something you associate with the villains in movies.

The building was evacuated by the "terrorists" themselves when they realized that the government was intentionally going to let the bomb go off. You completely missed the point of the whole series.

"Symbolic terror attacks not designed to kill people are a matter of historical record in the real world."

Sorry no. Power outages caused by mere storms kill people all the time whether its because the A/C or heater breaks down.

It "works" for CS because its a 10+ year old game/mod the same way "riding" on the wing of a B-17 in Battlefield 1942 still "works".

1. My bad.

The thousands of other people who were involved in the SAO incident?

Way to the miss the fact that he never played ALO before the story started.

"regular kendo and regular slashes" = Slashes bullets out of mid-air

His "top player" status came with the caveat that he had 2 years experience with the game and MULTIPLE end-game boss drops/one-of-a-kind weapons in SAO. (To say nothing about his class)

Except Kirito wasn't the only one to go through the ALO incident.

Even if there was no injection, it ignores the fact that there would be an unidentifiable fluid on a murder victim's corpse. Thats the kind of stupidly obvious clue you used read about in B-novel spy thrillers during the Cold War.

I haven't watch the anime, but in the light novels its stated he rolls a new character for GGO.

Regulations would go a lot farther than you realize.

Pre-packaged lobster.

You should relish feedback like that.
