I don't know much about japanese culture, but is this even mainstream? I don't see how you can judge an entire culture by its worst. Perhaps we get more exposure to the outliers of Japanese culture because the outliers are so fucked up. Perhaps in Japan their sifting up a videogame like Manhunt and wondering why Americans are all homicidal psychopaths.
Anyone else see the space shuttle and feel depressed about our pathetic reliance on chemical propulsion? The thing can't even break free of Earth's gravitational field. At this rate, we'll visit Alpha Centauri in oh about..... never.

dannym3141 is right. Almost all of your complaints can be easily avoided by filtering the server lists and keeping track of favorite servers. What terrible excuses for justifying the removal of dedicated servers.
And complaining about custom maps is just about the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard. Yes there are some godawful ones out there, but some of the best content in PC gaming are fan made. Modding games have been an integral part of PC gaming since before DOOM 1. Some of the best maps, and even games themselves come from the community. Just look at CS, DOTA, and all those great community TF2 maps that were later made official by Valve. You say you've been a PC gamer for a long time, but your attitude reveals that you are surprisingly ignorant of the PC gaming scene.
What happens if you travel back in time and killed yourself from a moment ago, thus preventing you from traveling back in time to kill yourself in the first place? Somebody try that please.
Look, if you can't derive happiness from even two strains of cancer cells being selectively killed off, (without proof of it not working on others) I suspect there is little to derive happiness from. Let's be enthusiastic about this eh?
Look, it's not 2 "strains" of cancer. You don't "catch" these particular "strains" of cancer from someone else like you do with bacteria or viruses. Everyone's cancer is unique to that individual. It's unlikely that someone with breast cancer will have the SAME EXACT mutations as those that spawned the specific cell lines used in the experiment. Plus, No one knows how well these immortal cell lines, grown for generations in petri dishes, correlate with the original cancer in a person. And all they've done so far are some mouse experiments. It's still FAR away and a shitton of money and work required before it can work in people, maaybe. Don't hold your breath.
And again, if this was something to get enthusiastic about, it wouldn't be in the journal "Breast Cancer Research".
First of all, this has only worked on 2 breast cancer cell lines, meaning that it only works for the clones of the cells derived from 2 specific individuals, in an artificial laboratory setting. Will this work in people, and can it be adapted to the myriad of different mutations that cause breast cancer, nobody knows. The paper concludes that they have "outline[d] a new therapeutic approach", which means just that: they have taken the first baby steps towards something that might work, after many, many years and billions and billions of dollars of research..... maybe.
Anyways, nothing to get excited about. If this was a huge Nobel winning breakthrough, it wouldn't have been published in a journal as small as Breast Cancer Research.

And I don't think it's particular easy for games to look this good, the amount of detail in Uncharted 2 is staggering and it has some of the best animation and voice acting I've ever seen hands down, never noticed his bug eye comment, I thought the characters showed a tonne of emotion. What are essentially fully playable cinematics are also both technically and graphically amazing, the set pieces in Uncharted 2 are like nothing I've seen in any game. I did not want to put this game down at any point, it is entirely engaging start to finish and for me, I LOVE the fact that it bases its story on ancient legends, that's one of the best parts!
So what you're saying is that the game has good graphics and plays well, which is no different from what Yahtzee says. Some people expect more from a "great" game than good looks and technical excellence. You know, something like originality. And it's hypocritical that you diss on MW2, which is also filled with graphical and technical excellence, just not in your preferred style.
