I recommend City of Heroes, it's a lot of fun and is optionally free to play now. Mostly a modern setting, but with both futuristic and fantasy elements (it IS a super-hero game; weird things happen, including time-travel). Other than that, this one is a fun little time waster...

I was born in Pueblo, Colorado. They have two U.S. records, attained in the 70s and still standing to this day. I don't think these are still world records, but they were for a time. -Most bars per capita -Most alcohol consumed in a 24 hour period per capita

True Neutral, leaning towards Lawful. More good than evil, but my selfishness and general not caring about people who aren't near me blocks being actually good.

Total Annihilation was my favorite; single player I found superior to Starcraft by far. Multiplayer was decent, but lacking though.

I did that section on a regular mage (never did find the Arcane Warrior training). I had to retry some sections several times, but I got through the whole mess with a death count in the single-digits.

I reached an unfinishable point in X-Com: Apocalypse. Apparently it is a little subtle, but can occur regularly if you aren't aggressive enough. In order to finish the tech tree you have to down and then invade an alien Transport ship. Thing is, they only appear fairly early on. They aren't...

Dried Noodles. They pretty much don't expire. I still wouldn't recommend keeping them around for 70 years, but they should last 10 without any problem.

The grocery shopping thing is 100% true. Hell, around here, people rush the grocery store every time it fucking SNOWS, and yet the danger of getting stuck in your house for more than 2 days is exactly zero. I wouldn't say I have a box set aside for the apocalypse, but I do have a number of...

While I do believe we should be evolving ourselves, not only have past events shown humans can't handle eugenics responsibly, but those attempts that did bear fruit didn't produce any offspring that could be definitively called 'superior.' Therefore, I feel that eugenics is something that isn't...

it is possible, but it's gonna be rough. Unfortunately, none of those are on Steam or a similar service (that I'm aware of). Boxed sets of Baldur's Gate 1 and 2 isn't too bad to find, but good luck on Planescape. You may be able to find electronic copies of all of them (probably for free through...

That is a good list. I recommend the STALKER games; easy to get on Steam. King Arthur (also on Steam) was a pretty good rpg-ish strategy game, if you're into that sort of thing. Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines is also a really good pick, though unfortunately not on Steam so getting it...

I would say they vary significantly by region, but they're pretty important around here.

I fucking hate Depth of Field. It hurts my eyes, and is extremely distracting. I never play with it on; it seriously hurts my eyes to the point that I can't play a game using it for more than 5 minutes or so. Also, these. There is no reason to make modern graphics look like film from an old...

As I don't actually want kids, sure, I wouldn't oppose a law that limited how many children we could have. I don't see it being significantly useful in the 'States, so I don't think I'd throw any support behind it either, but whatever. Basically, the simplest way is to cut child tax credits...

No. I have a very highly developed sense of self and personal identity. Or, in common terms, I am selfish. Luckily, that particular scenario is unlikely, as I fucking hate boats.
