Starcraft II just came out! I'm installing it even as I type. So, a warning that you may not see a post for the next few days... not that I ever posted regularly, anyway.
Instead, I'm gonna post a few links, one an ironic link to an article in the Guardian on internet/gaming addiction, which I most certainly am not afflicted by.
Another is on why the United States Postal Service is actually a lot more efficient than people believe - first because it receives nearly no federal funding (its funds come almost entirely from the fees it charges), and also because the post office, being a federal agency, can't leap through legal loopholes as easily as private companies can that allow businesses to not set money aside for employee retirement funds.
I also want to highlight another link, this time on Islam in Europe, specifically on how Islamic radicalization is partly overplayed by various media outlets, and partially made worse by defining radical Muslims as the only "real" ones, which leaves (particularly young) Muslims who identify with Islam to adopt more extreme religious positions since they don't want to be seen as less earnest about their religion.

Ha, ha, nevermind, false alarm. I just realized that my pre-order didn't give me the product key, so even though I've paid for the game, and have downloaded the client online and installed it already, I still have to wait for my box to physically get here before I can play it. Which is gonna be another week.
ReplyDeleteWhat's worse, I also found out that I can't name myself "Bulbasaur" like I was going to, since they added a rule against naming yourself after a copyrighted entity. Well, at least I have a week to think up a new name :P
Haha, good ol' Starcraft...
