  1. Probably is the disk and packaging and transport, actually.

     

    That's why you'll never see Mass Effect 2 discs on sale for 20 bucks any time in the near future, while Steam can pop that up every now and then.

    Considering I can go and buy a hundred DVDs for ten dollars, that puts it around a dime per disk, so I highly doubt it's the disc that's driving the price, considering they'd buy it even more in bulk getting a further discount. Packing and transport I can believe, though.

     

    Hopefully when everything goes digital the price will reduce down.

  2. I heard the games were going be running between forty five + dollars, which majorly turned me off.

     

    I mean seriously, even the Pokemon games, the flagship games, only run a little over forty on average; the average DS game is only thirty, so now the price jumps fifteen plus dollars?

     

    I can get PC games cheaper. :|

     

    I've never really understood why games need to be fifty dollars to begin with; the disc sure as heck isn't what's raising the price. I understand there's hundreds of code grunts that need to be payed, but they're getting minimum wage; so when I buy a game, a good three quarters of it is going directly into the pockets of some execs that probably never did anything to benefit the game beyond go to E3 and talk about it.

     

    Not to say all execs are evil; some of them actually earned their job, after all.

  3. Honestly these days the ratings are terrible; I still don't see why Reach got an M rating. I've played worse games that were rated T. Outside of the occasional curse and a little blood, there's not much in there.

     

    Mass Effect is kinda the same, but at least the ratings have the excuse that it has some more questionable themes in it.

  4. It's been scientifically shown that people are more loose mouthed around attractive people than mild or ugly people, because, let's face it, we don't look at what's 'inside', -most- of us see a hot person and bam, we get a little easier. So, logically, having a spy that's attractive makes more sense than an ugly spy.
  5. I'd like a price estimate; how much would you say a ring -not sure the sizes used for it, so I'll just use centimeters- for a finger about seventeen CM wide? It wouldn't be anything fancy; just a simple... ring. Circle. It'd contain equal proportions of iron and quartz.

     

    If you need more information -you probably do-, just say.

    That all depends if I can find someone that can melt iron and quartz together. If Mark can't do it, though, the price would probably ratchet way up, since I'd probably have to pay for someone else to do it. ._.

    I don't -think- that it'd be all that difficult; from my understanding you raise the heat to about 1700 C, toss the rocks in, let it simmer, stir, and bam, you've got some molten keraltz.

     

    Of course I've never tried it outside of fiction so I'm not sure. :P

    Yeah, that's problem -- I'm not sure if its possible outside the Outbreak universe. :P

    Well, you could always get a small, not-costly amount of quartz and iron and try a test. I'd do so myself but I don't have access to things that can melt iron.
