Fucking hell. Global warming is not something to 'believe'. It's something that's happening, it's a fact. This is like asking 'do you believe in oxygen?'.

There you go, discussion's over. How the hell you can even look at the subject as something to 'believe' in is beyond me. It's happening, it's man-made (by far most of what we've been experiencing during the last decades is, at least), and we need to be very thankful for the people that are researching, innovating, and investing heavily in the subject despite the vast army of idiots (fronted by some very rich Americans) actively yelling at the media that it's 'a hoax'. And the media just cover whatever topic is interesting without any responsibility, so that this looks like a 50-50 game to the uninformed public, which it isn't. As someone else in this topic already mentioned: if all of us would be like those idiots, we would indeed be a doomed race.

Perhaps it should have been asked as "solely man-made global warming". Most people believe that global climate change is occurring, but there is a lot of skepticism over the extent to which human beings are impacting that. So, whether they're the main driving force or just a contributing factor. And regardless of how they feel, most people do support more environmentally-friendly policies.

Well, in that case the answer would obviously be 'no', because it's not solely man-made. However, if we assume that you mean 'what we are currently talking about and worried about', then yes, it's man-made. What all the exact results will be is of course extremely hard to calculate (it can't be more than a prediction), but almost all scientists involved agree that it will be a problem if nothing happens. Thankfully, more and more things are happening, but given the seriousness of the issue, I find it ridiculous that there are people telling others that it doesn't exist just because they don't like the results of it.

As a comment to your articles in general, including this one: you really are a great journalist, Patrick. You've got nice, in-depth stories to share with generally interesting content, you're not afraid to contact people with interesting stories, you've got an easily readible, classy and honest style of writing, and you seem to be a really nice guy as well. I hope Giant Bomb and its users will be able to enjoy your work for quite some years to come.

Giving this thread a small one-time bump, hope the mods'll be alright with that.

@AhmadMetallic: Ah yes, I'm looking for those as well!

But yeah, there should be a lot of gamers in Stockholm given all the gaming companies over here, and there are quite a few Swedes on GB, so it shouldn't be mission impossible.

Hey folks,

After moving from the Netherlands to Stockholm two years ago for study purposes, I to date have not met many people that are interested in playing games. I’m starting miss the occasional gaming sessions that I used to have with friends in the Netherlands, so I was wondering if there are any GB subscribers from Stockholm that would occasionally like to hang out and hook up a 360 or PS3 to spend an evening drinking beers and playing games. If so, just send me a pm or leave a message here!

Best,

BSw

Have a great wedding and honeymoon!

Funny timing. I was just rewarching Day[9]'s playthrough of this beast. That makes Amnesia the only game I've seen played the whole way through 3 times without actually touching myself at all. Wouldnt surpríse me if Machine for Pigs would end up the same way.

Amnesia is a game I love, but not because I have played it.

Same here. I watched a playthrough by TheRadBrad. Originally because I couldn't run it on my laptop (I tried, but this thing is not made for games), but part of me is very glad I didn't have to play it myself. Slender does work on my laptop, but I switched that off within two minutes or so. Let's see if I can build up the courage to double-click that exe-file again..

@Mr_Strange: There's a playable pc version that works with DosBox. I remember finding it on an old games website about a year ago (Home of the Underdogs seems to have it, although I'm not sure if that's the one I downloaded). Maybe you can give that a shot!

My dearest condoleances.
