Looking for a New Game? Ask Here!
Played Daggerfall? But yeah, from the types of games you want, theres not alot of choice. But I will say GTA IV, it has some minimal aspects of choice and such, but I don't know if its on PC.

Real life pictures - 3
I immediately thought of L from Death Note when I saw that. Could be the eyes, facial expression, and the eating.

Is God real post your thoughts!
[hide=Quotes] If the Bible is to be believed, then Satan merely tempted Adam and Eve; it was God who originally created the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. That God is supposedly omniscient would seem to indicate that he created it in the full knowledge of its future consequences yet continued on regardless. Prior to their consumption of the forbidden fruit, Adam and Eve were little more than children in their blissful ignorance, so how can they be blamed for what occured since God clearly allowed for it to happen and they weren't able to fully appreciate the consequences of their actions anyway? I would liken the situation to that of a parent warning a child away from a hot stove; in general, the child will disregard the warning--not out of spite, but of infantile curiousity--and will touch the surface of a hot stove at some point. In this case, a child would walk away with a scortched finger at worst; God saw fit, however, to eject Adam and Eve from the Garden of Eden and curse their descendants to lives of torment and damnation for the one, innocent transgression. Again, if the Bible is to be taken at its word, then God can be said to be far more destructive and unsympathetic than Satan. Are we truly to believe that Noah and his family were the only people in the entire world worthy of being saved from the Flood? How can the 10 Plagues of Egypt be justified? What of the slaying of the Canaanites and of other ancient peoples who ran afoul of God's "chosen people?" I could continue on and on, but, essentially, God has continuously proven to be a harsh, oppressive, and prejudiced purveyor of "justice." One need look no futher than the descriptions of Heaven and Hell to understand this; they are far too black and white in their juxtaposition. Mankind, after all, has the capacity for both good and evil, so how is it fair to sentence some to an eternity of damnation while allowing others to enter into bliss? Does a finite amount of sin warrant an eternity of punishment? I, personally, would refuse both Heaven and Hell; Hell for the obvious reason of it being unjustified and Heaven since I would be required to be cleansed of "sin." Whether or not anyone reading this believes me, we are defined as people through our misdeeds just as much as we are through our benevolence. Anyone stripped of their capacity for "evil"--which, after all, is relative--would never be the same. It would be a terrible fate to have to live forever either way, but essentially being forced to undergo a lobotomy before being allowed into Heaven certainly isn't very appealing to me. Anyway, and before I go to far off-topic, we are who we are. If God is indeed real and he wishes to either punish or reward us as befits his warped sense of justice as described in the Bible, then so be it, but it can hardly described as fair when he precipitated the Fall of Man, can it? I hope you can understand why atheists and agnostics are dubious of God's existence, even if you personally disagree with the viewpoint. *EDIT* I didn't want to post again just to tell you, but it's Occam's Razor you're thinking of, mmmcannibalism. Hopefully you'll see this. :-# [/hide] I think it depends on how you look at Satan. For one, God is all-powerful. Satan is not. God, as the creator of everything therefore created Satan and demons. So say that when we sin, we listen to a demon/satan. However, since God created them to do that, he created the temptation. Is God therefore not the mastermind behind all this, if he was as loving, he wouldn't have created Satan/Demons to do what he deemed as a sin. So I pose this question: Is God inherently evil if he created things with the intent of us to do evil things? Of course, we could ignore them, but then God could have gave us the power to ignore them completely and not sin. Why is he* testing us when he would want us to live in eternal paradise. *I use "he" simply for convenience, I do not want to think that a God is a human in form (God could be a lamb, what is perhaps the symbol of innocence), nor do I believe in a God anyway.

Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
I would classify being alive as being able to interact with the world around you. This baby cannot. This is forgetting plants, since the baby is practically already a plant. A very complex plant. I classify that as living. To me, being alive and living are too different things. Living is being alive, but it involves being able to interact with the world around you. So really, the baby is "alive" to me, but it isn't "living".

I need music suggestions
To add a few more, I reccomend Avenged Sevenfold and Iron Maiden, and I like HammerFall too. However, and this is all a matter of preference, I quite like DragonForce too, some don't but hell, its only music. For Avenged Sevenfold, I reccomend the "Waking the Fallen" and "City of Evil" albums first, followed by "Sounding the Seventh Trumpet" then "Avenged Sevenfold". So even if you can only get a few, those are the order which I feel is best (not that the self-titled one is bad, its just a little different at points ("Dear God" is a little different, bit like "Seize the Day" off "City of Evil" so its actually alright and it has its moments such as "Scream" and "Brompton Cocktail")) As for Iron Maiden, well, I doubt I'm the best the reccomend for this, so far, I only own "Somewhere Back in Time: The Best of 1980-1989", "Brave New World" and "Seventh Son of a Seventh Son". As for HammerFall, I only have "Crimson Thunder", "Steel Meets Steel : 10 Years of Glory" and "No Sacrifice, No Victory". A few memorable songs for me would be "The Dragon Lies Bleeding", "Crimson Thunder", "Dark Wings, Dark Words", "Legacy of Kings" and "Any Means Necessary". This is all in my opinion though, so make of it what you will.

Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
Depends what you classify as living though. If their body functions in the basic way, then for all purposes, they are alive. And Latios, thats fine with me, but hell, this kid won't know what it would be like to live or not, but hell, if he's bringing some joy to people, do you want to tear that away from someone?

So, utilizing your logic, it should be okay to kill off those who have little time left to live, after all, they're only wasting resources.
-

What you are suggesting is, in essence, murder. Sure, people die, when the kid dies naturally, she'll grieve, then she'll get over it. However, you feel alot worse signing your kid's death warrent even though its not in any pain.

worst pain ever inflicted on you
Ah remembered something. Now this wasn't exactly painful, but its a seriously bad experience that I wouldn't reccomend to anyone. I'm afraid of needles, to the point where I decided to stay awake during an endoscopy. They use this throat spray which tasted of rotten bananas (seriously) to numb the throat. Going through it was terrible. You want to throw up but you can't. You could feel the camera going down and you wanted to throw it up, but you couldn't. My throat felt weird afterwards, still managed to eat and drink some tea. To this day, just remembering it brings the sensation back to my throat of going through it. Feeling as if it was inside my stomach again. Definately not something I'd reccomend. Hopefully I won't need to go for another one in the foreseeable future, cause I'm still [cabbage] scared of needles, and yes, I would choose the spray again. So yeah, if you have a fear of needles, hope it isn't bad enough you want to go through this.

However they also help provide for other people. If the child needs any machines, it helps pay for more, if enough is spent from the money the mother is paying to buy a new machine, another person gets to use it. Its not like they are one use only. And all this talk of hospitals give me a bad feeling in my stomach.

And TIF is no better. Listen, we can go around in circles on this, but as long as she's paying it somehow, I honestly don't give a damn. The money goes towards the pay for the hospital staff and new medical equipment/supplies, correct?

Mother gives birth to a baby with Anencephaly.
Because it's useless. Alot of thing that bring joy have no real practical use. Are you suggesting we destroy them all? This includes TIF. It's a form of entertainment which we pay to access (internet costs). By paying for this data, money can be used for other things (though most of the time it simply makes rich men richer). And if she's paying for the medical care, where's the harm?

Looking for a New Game? Ask Here!
Looking for the same thing, except I've already beaten both Oblivion and Fallout 3. Any other ideas people? Morrowind? Or one of the earlier Elder Scrolls.

HEROES SPOILER!!
No. Parkman needs to go die. Seriously, did anyone else hate how suddenly he changed when he got his son? I mean, he spent a few episodes before that being pissed off a Daphne's death, but then he just changes in an instant. I hated that.

It's stupid. Yes. Let us start and end with you.

COME ON? A mute for this?
Jagex mutes for alot of stupid reasons. Whats worse is the amount of blacm marks they used to give, I had around 7 at one point for 3 offences, and one was for a completely moronic reason that anyone could see as a joke who was there at the time (except the [bleep]er who reported me.)

Is pardoning the torturers a bad thing?
Torture is a broad term, and we split it into two. Physical torture and psychological torture. One is not any less torture than the other, even though one causes more physical pain, but psycological torture has the same overall effect of causing fear.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Blackdawn isn't exactly picky about his women though.

The Miss USA beauty contest story
Dumb [bleep] shouldn't have asked what she thought of it. Seriously, you shouldn't be able to judge people on what they were raised to believe. Fair enough, it is a touchy subject at the moment, but then, should the question have been asked in the first place if they were going to make her lose due to her opinion. Okay, so I support same-sex marriage, I won't stop it, but this is like a teacher failing someone because their view differs on an essay which requires their own opinion.

Guess the Game
This is the correct answer. Honestly, I was going to change it to the full screenshot if nobody had it by this time, but here the answer is.
