Ok, I see what you're saying; because my first assertion was not absolute, it leaves room for my second, following assertion to be one of the exceptions to that first assertion. That's fair. Then I'll simply state that I do not believe pure socialism or pure laissez-faire capitalism would ever...

I would've thought that was at least partially implied in the context of my original post, but for clarity's sake, here it is: because socialism and Randian capitalism are extremes of economic policy, and because I argue that extremes typically do not work, then it follows that I believe neither...

Unless I'm mistaken, that's still grammatically permissible. :) But please, feel free to critique my mildly awkward wording instead of saying anything substantial about what I was (attempting) to say.

Well, of course. That's why I said "tend to" and not just "never." Saying extremes never work is an extreme in-and-of itself, is it not? ;) I suppose I can't argue with that basic philosophy, but how one defines "punish" and to what extent they are given freedoms to conduct their business, at...

I'm sorry, but trying to read Atlus Shrugged was like having nails driven into my unmentionables. As a work of fiction, it was unbearably boring to read. She should have just written it as an actual essay. Either way, I don't agree with her economic views at all. She, at least from what I...

I have to agree with Wombat, to a degree, about the controls in Resident Evil 5. Having to stop and shoot makes the game far more tense than if you can simply run around shooting from the hip. But, I am eternally grateful Capcom finally added strafing to non-combat movement. I was so worried the...

Couldn't find one at the CCs in decent driving distance. Such a shame, as I really need the extra space. Anyone know of any other good deals on the 120GB HDD?

This one's for either Wombat or Cheapy. With the November sales numbers in, we see that sequels or yearly-releases in a franchise, such as Madden '09, Gears of War 2, and Call of Duty: World at War have sold millions of units each. New IPs, however, have struggled to sell any number of units...

So far, the only gaming deals striking my fancy are the Dead Space for $30 at Target and the 4GB MSPD stick for $20 at Radioshack. This has to be one of the weakest Black Friday sales ever.

Got in on the lat round of early testers. I really like it so far, but the private chat between people with NXE (me) and without (my friends) is borked; the sound is choppy and unintelligible.

Any chance this podcast will be made available for subscription via the Zune Marketplace? Or is it already? I haven't seen it, at least, but it would really help simplify listening to and downloading these podcasts to my Zune. Thanks. :)

Man, I really want to pick up some Metal Gear Solid games, the Substance/Subsistence versions, so I can catch up and finally play MGS4...

I redeemed Oct. 5th, and nothing for me, either. I was going to use it to pay for FarCry 2 as well... anyone know how long Gamestop keeps pre-orders around?

I can't find a product page for Formula 1: Championship Edition for the Playstation 3 on Gamestop.com. Is there any particular reason it's missing, or did it just get culled from the system? It'd greatly help being able to find used copies of the game in store via the site, rather than having to...

Clock Tower 2 for the PS1? I saw a copy today for $3 with case and manual, but I'm not sure if it would be hard to get elsewhere.

CheapyD and Wombat: What do you guys think of the charge that Resident Evil 5 is racist, based on the ethnicity of the enemies? Or that Call of Duty: World at War is racist? I'm not sure how any other CAGs feel, but I think it's unfair to call these games racist because the enemies you'll be...

Ok, so as a college student, I need a mini-fridge for my dorm room. The problem is that I really want a decent size (preferably 4 cubic feet or larger) fridge that has a full-width freezer, as most have tiny little compartments that only have enough space for an ice cube tray, and I want enough...

Hey guys. I'm looking to pick up the HD-DVD add-on for the 360 for as cheap as possible, new. Anyone got any leads, links, or tips? I've seen one at my local Toys R Us tagged for $40 or $50, I can't quite remember; is that as cheap as it gets?

Woo, I won three free months of XBL. :D Almost deleted the email thinking it was spam, but curiosity got the better of me, so I'm glad I checked it. Glad to see so many other CAGs won as well.

Read: people wouldn't bother to trade in so many of their games if they knew they'd get so little for them in advance... ;) I'm glad to see Gamestop is finally getting around to solving some major issues with their online store, so you have my thanks, Retro, for making sure Gamestop's aware of...
