Reasons:
- the potential to seriously injure yourself
- the suffocating, drowning feeling as you push all your energy into trying to breathe properly whilst also trying to drag yourself into consciousness
- the deeply undermining feeling from the notion that you do not even have the ability to...
I'm epileptic and I still play video games. And drink lots. And don't get enough sleep and go to clubs with flashing lights and generally do most things that exacerbate one's inability to control one's own consciousness.
That's just how I roll.
Still, seizures are no fun, especially when you...
It seems almost impressive that Rockstar Canadia used six-and-a-bit months (although in reality it was probably more) to make such a cataclysmic ****-up of a port.
Maybe they started each day at the office with a drinking competition.

I was really anticipating this but alas I only have a single core processor. I was even tempted to push my luck though and get it anyway but as it seems it's a lazy port (something that irks me no end) I may just leave it. I'm sure Rockstar will be heart-broken and dry their tears on their piles...

Post your action hero moment quips here.
I'm cornered by a zombie whilst reloading. I crack her around the face with the butt of my shotgun and she staggers back. I hit her again and once more for good measure. She falls to the ground, dead. I shake my head and continue to reload.
"What a pain...
America is FAR more prudish than Europe. Plus, Germany is hardly a good example when discussing the prevailing state of censorship (in general, let alone specifically in the EU), notorious as they are for their over-sensitivity.
This. Tiresome, predictable Daily Mail cane-rattling. It has the second-highest newspaper circulation in the country, you know. The Sun being the first.
