    Mar 23 2010: get familiar with the little achievements that aren't even confirmed by anyone, but that you feel in your heart and share with your mates! stop looking for epic wins, that's not what life is about!!!

    Mar 23 2010: she wouldn't be so complex if she were some leather and fur wearing warrior with an obscenely revealing cleavage in a game, whom you could command , would she?

    Mar 23 2010: 1. real life is not epic. not all the time. sensationalism is as far away from reality as can be. i believe we must be content with that averageness of life too.
    2. the content of games... if life is what you escape from in games, how could games be more like life? i would like game makers to stop making women characters so obscene in their appearance. but would anybody play them anymore? i don't think so because the point is beside reality and fairness in your expectations of it i guess.... i might be old-fashioned or jealous though :P
  • A reply on Talk: Dan Dennett: Responding to Pastor Rick Warren

    Jan 24 2010: i think that teaching religion as a widely spread, necessary phenomenon of any kind would inevitably reduce it to a cultural element or component (such as the need for symmetry), exposing its relativity and lack of substance. therefore, isn't this a measure to be taken once religion is considered to have run its course and we are truly ready to embrace a secular moral code? i say this because it seems impossible to teach someone a creed once they have learned that there are so many others, equally rich and moral, and that which religion you have is a matter of accident or choice...
