    Well, technically speaking...
    You kill a bunch of people at Area 51 by rerouting the nuke there, no matter what. But, it's the thought that counts.

    But really, I don't think it's fair to call killing people in DX1 pedestrian if you are doing it with a sword. Ninjaestrian is better.
    I actually really like Deus Ex's shitty, outdated stealth. Because it lets you feel like a real badass. Sneaking around with the Dragon Tooth and ambushing them on realistic isn't great gameplay, but still, it's awesome.

    Sort of like how MGS2 has the best gameplay of an MGS title (and best story!) because you just cartwheel around like a fucking ninja all the time.

    I don't tell people this often, but I actually think MGS2 is my favorite MGS. MGS4 is mechanically fun, I guess, but it feels too much like a Call of Duty. Like it doesn't make any sense not to engage in the war. You can avoid it, but it doesn't seem like the game wants you to avoid it.

    MGS3 is cool but I found the jungle environment kind of bland.

    But overall, Deus Ex 3 is probably my favorite Metal Gear Solid game. Even better than Metal Gear Solid 2.

    Last time I was out, I asked a girl what she was drinking which was probably a creepy thing to do if I hadn't been fly as fuck. She held it out and demanded that I taste it.

    Creepiness is in the eye of the beholder! the anecdote proves it.

    But she was drinking blood and now you are a Twilight

    ONE- academic institutions are like paranoid as FUCK about misconduct (cheating, saving tests/syllabuses/etc)

    and

    TWO- they usually have a reason to be because so many college students theses days are cheating assholes

    by "poor" i meant negative not that you judged incorrectly. sorry, i phrased it poorly. as in a poor interpretation was she was being a creep and a good interpretation would be that she was just being friendly and concerned for a fellow student.

    I think it's 2, 3, and Peacewalker, right? Yes, I recommend them. Peacewalker was formerly a PSP only game, and it's really good though I admit I haven't played it that much yet.

    2, 3, and PW are worth getting, yes.

    And 2's title is "Sons of Liberty."

    Ronya is studying economics, not business; Tyrannus is studying accounting, which is a skill which actually has value other than financial speculation.

    Gooey is basically getting his graduate degree in making money by fucking people over, though.

    Technically you could just get a programming degree and do the work of an entire accounting team.

    A question, from an off-topic thought arising from the Islam thread: do Christian Evangelicals in the US (on the popular level, not as a matter of doctrine) generally believe that the other gods and/or spirits of other religions don't exist, or exist as demons or some other assorted agent of evil?

    Because I have met impressively many members of apparently-US-influenced churches overseas that worried about things like Halal meat, too. Or walking over joss-sticks. That one seemed tricky to abide by, given that the penchant in Southeast Asian countries can be to plant joss-sticks everywhere and so avoiding said shrines is tantamount to walking on the road.

    They believe that the other monotheists have it wrong, and that:

    Jews should realize that Jesus was the Christ, and adopt the New Testament teachings.
    Muslims should do the same.
    Catholics worship false idols, and should stop that.
    Mormons were fooled by their false prophets, and should discard them all and come back to the fold.
    Other religions are just plain wrong and their deities don't exist.

    Lots of hardcore evangelicals/charismatics believe that there are demons and the works of the devil all around us, and that yes, Allah, Buddha etc are evil spirits trying to trick us.

    Huh. Which denominations teach this? I know most of the Fundamentalist ones believe in devils and demonic possession, but I hadn't heard any of them actually teaching that eastern deities were demons sent to trick humanity.

    I don't think any of this is doctrine taught by a specific denomination. It's just crazy bullshit spouted by hardcore charismatics. The ones I know are mostly Baptists or straight-out non-denominational independent churches. And people who worship in small groups and eschew the centralised church thing.

    I figure I could take a bear.
