Quite right. However, this is an American site, with over 50% of its audience being from the United States, and I happen to be an American, hence the phrase. If it was a British site, for example, I would not have used the same phrase. :-)

I find the idea of dedicating such a huge portion of my life to my work to be rather horrifying (I'm a big fan of 40-hour work weeks, even though I do love my work), but I understand that not everyone's like me.

The core of your piece, the sleep cycle itself rather than the work habits, makes some decent sense to me.…

No, I think the point anxletydown is making is better contraceptives are not necessarily a good thing with Japan's incredibly low birth rates. At the point they're at, more accidental pregnancies might be a good thing.

Racist? Hardly. It's their national sport, just like us. That's a pretty reasonable assumption, I'd say, considering that they're about as quintessentially Japanese as a company as Coca-Cola is American.

My biggest issue is copy-pasting contacts. For example, I co-run a publication. If our editor sends out a mass e-mail to our staff, and I want to also send a mass e-mail to our staff but don't have access to our staff list for some reason, the easy thing to would be to copy-paste all of the contacts in the send field.…

Regarding Typing of the Dead, you are familiar with this, right?

I guess that's fair. It is ultimately going to have micro-transactions. It seems pretty minor compared to most games, but I suppose a lot depends on how stringent their monthly limit of purchasing funds will be. Also: the fact that they have a limit in the first place gives me hope, especially since the entire goal…

This is why I wish more people used Vimeo.

But they're not micro-transactions. No, really - they're not. Example of a micro-transaction: in-game in Planetside 2, you pull up your Station Cash page, buy some, then go get yourself some sweet shotgun you would have had to grind for a while to get otherwise. Or in a Facebook game, paying to get more mana or energy…

Very much depends on the type of karate. Shotokan has proven to be very useful to me in my life, although it's also very much a no-frills style, so maybe that has something to do with it. Also, my sensei could break rocks with his hand. Rocks that we selected for him. So... definitely some respect for it on my end.

Over…

They were also much simpler by many orders of magnitude. A game like Battlefield 4, with 64 concurrent players, buildings somewhat realistically collapsing all over the place with very complicated physics calculations, thousands upon thousands of sounds, thousands upon thousands of projectiles being tracked…

Unless it's coffee from the Pacific Northwest. Then we'll give you a run for your money. Coffee and craft beer... our specialties.

Fallout: New Vegas with the Real Time Settler mod installed. You might have to tweak it a bit to get it working, but being able to build and populate a base that you then defend against raiders and factions? Freaking awesome. This is a gaming area that is weirdly lacking in full titles, which is a shame, because I'm…

Damn straight. If you're not agonizing over how to get a Casus Belli on your neighbor that's currently tied up in a war with a coalition before they can reinforce their border with you while simultaneously trying to figure out how you can do this without your other, much bigger, much more belligerent neighbor deciding…

And in the case of both HL1 and HL2, it literally revolutionized the industry in major ways. Seriously - go back and play other 2004 games. Then play Half Life 2. It's easy to forget how unbelievably amazing Half Life 2 was, and how it paved the way for modern graphics and physics in games, but playing other 2004…

You know what this reminds me of? DayZ. "Great, we just helped each other survive a zombie horde by shooting our way to a car and escaping! ...and you just shot me in the head and took my stuff. Well, nice playing with you!"

No, I got your point. I just thought I'd point out the flaw with your original argument before someone more combative did. Because this is the Internet, and that would have eventually happened.

Sexual orientation does not equal sexual identity. You're mixing up two different things, here.

They all drew heavily from the design documents except Lonesome Road, and even it had some of its inspiration from the documents. New Canaan was a Van Buren location and is referenced heavily in Honest Hearts (not to mention all of the Van Buren Legion locations), the Sierra Madre was originally supposed to be located…

...I'm not actually sure what you're talking about. Basically every weapon and item found in Fallout 3 makes an appearance in New Vegas, with new stuff in New Vegas added besides. That leaves just the DLC, and actually, they were pretty comparable in both games in terms of new content added. Granted, Fallout 3 has…
