rein wrote:Avatar, I've been wondering about this for a long time. What's your motivation for posting all of these news stories about the many failings of humankind? I'm sorry if this sounds hostile, but I sense an element of smugness in your continually highlighting the wretchedness of the human condition.
First off, I've been playing Dark Souls II Scholar of the First Sin 
So, "wretchedness of the human condition" is appropriate! Secondly, why not? I think it's important to look at "failures" if you ever want to succeed. Also, to be fair, I wouldn't call the link I posted "wretched" or "failure" -it's more amusing than anything else. Also, I think it serves as a reminder that material goods while "nice" are not what really matter. At any rate, I think discussing things other than video games/music is fun and enjoyable.
Also, here's another amusing link that's less... eh, wretched? Enjoy watching 79 year old gamer Shirley play Skyrim!
