@B4B9: Very nice :)

@—Core—: It's not a big deal, it's just that what you quoted is popular, simplistic, and demonstrably wrong. It's like when Fox News writes that there's full-frontal nudity in Mass Effect or that kids are violent because of GTA—it's just not true.

@Curiously Flamboyant Sheep 2: I'm all out of bubble gum.: I'm in love with that song (skip to 0:47).

@William Henry Harrison: That just gave me a great idea: making a copy of the Large Hadron Collider in Minecraft.

@Plowking: No. The Amero is the leprechaun of pseudoeconomics: everyone says that they know someone that has seen evidence of it, but the source turns out to be insane or drunk at the time.

@—Core—: Wrong. Simply wrong.

@13CandyRainbowSuicideMachine: That is a very good point—I don't think I know a single person that has a blu-ray player on their computer.

@Crrash: I was hoping it would be a physical CD, too :/

@waxxer: Amen to that!

@Batman: A little Vegas realism there, huh?

@PudgiesJockeyGivesTheRideOfYou...: I might leave early, once the game arrives at home :)

@Eggyhead85: There are five gambling trophies, but they are relatively easy to get (one is "win three hands", three are "win ten hands" and one is "win 30 hands"):

@Xin415: I might spend some quality time in Point Lookout this weekend. I don't think I ever picked up the Fertilizer Shovel.

Three simple words: Wayne motherf*cking Newton.

@NewFromWashu: Thanks for the thoughtful reply.

@Billy Miller: That puts a damper on things.

@NoelVeiga: I've been thinking the same thing—I could never play EVE, but I love the idea of looking at it as a lab for understanding politics and sociology.

@Akhen: But, aside from that the political ramnifications do persist. People fight wars that were started years before they even heard of the game. They have allies they don't even know why they're supposed to be allied - because of things that happened before; but it affects their game anyway. Its this sort of…
