• [..] But I like the "windoze" spelling (much like "micro$oft", "MSFT", "GNU/linux" etc), as it helps me seperate out the irrational religious fanatics from the rest.

• Far Cry is a commercial product, so porting it to linux makes no sense at all (out of the 3.5 linux players wanting to play it, 3 will cry that it has to be free).

• Realism is what makes games suck.

• People don't understand what an insane engineering effort making a solid MMORPG is. Pretty much 100% of people on the net who say they will be making an MMORPG are dumbasses who don't understand game development (yes, 100%.. those few people who DO understand it are a rounding error).
