  If you don't think that Greg's psych profile has already been run and the recommendation is based on his MRI scans, then... shrug What I said elsewhere. Your open & hideous enjoyment of other people's suffering & deaths. Your obscurantism, hiding, as ilya187 has noted, a consistently WRONG understanding & interpretation of science & maths. You are a nihilist, despite your protestations. P.S. WHAT MRI scan - I've never had one done. I think you need treating a as "Black holy fool", since your utterances seem, usually, worthless - the bit about Quantum Computing was a welcome exception....

  I'm confused; how is saying "Neither I nor anyone besides yourself that I socialise with has heard of this game" and "Your link is to an awards 'puff page', and not anything that will actually tell me about the game" either an error or hubris on my part? Actual gameplay impresses me; awards (and particularly nominations for awards I've never heard of) don't....

  Your open & hideous enjoyment of other people's suffering & deaths. Again, you're mistaking something for something.

  I know people with non-trivial game collections (really) and you're overlooking something. Several factors really, but the critical one is that this requires a previous investment in specialized electronics that Greg might not have made. I haven't acquired a custom gaming rig and I'm sure I'm not alone. The website is built such that it won't tell me what platforms it runs on now (hidden behind a tab that doesn't open) so I'm not terribly trustful of its Playstation promises either....

  I play NO electronic games AT ALL I'm not even remotely interested. ( I do, very occasionally, do "logic puzzles" ) Remember that they are entirely artifically-constructed fake scenarios, with no reference to what we laughably call "real life" at all....
