I have to say that because it was edited so superbly to the music that the music was indeed integral to the experience.  And I thoroughly enjoyed the song.  Great job, and don't let the Americans' poor music taste affect you.  I'm assuming that everyone else will find value in the video.

I totally do!  I remember watching it and thinking it was particularly memorable as a kid.  That is pretty funny!

I'm dueling Philosophy and Psychology.  But I plan to swap Psych with English next year.

@example1013: But ignoring is so much easier.  I'd rather pretend I know everything and then post on GiantBomb that everyone's wrong even though I haven't studied religion in any capacity. Sarcasm.

So we have some people who say we should live by cliches, (which were said by Jesus) but not tied down by rules.  
 
We have people who say that religion kills people.  Two things: It only gets easier as science advances, and anyone who kills in Jesus' name is not living in Jesus' name.   
 
Science is compatible with religion.  I don't believe in a God who couldn't have thought of evolution.  But either way I think it's still more complex than we imagine.  One is a study of the purely physical realm, the other a spiritual.   And to say that there is only a physical would be lying to ourselves.
 
In the end, religions are actually, quite simply, a system for valuing humans.  That's why Christians are so adamant about pro-life and spreading the gospels (translated=good news).  Sometimes their actions are misplaced, sure.  Integrating politics, or just bad politics, into religion is unnecessary.  But in the end I would rather live with someone who valued people because of his beliefs, rather than someone who believes that there is no reason for existence and I am stupid for believing in something more profound than my own flesh and bones. 
 
And to those that think that the only Christians were bred into it are wrong.  The greatest, most devout are those who find it themselves.  I grew up with Christianity and Judaism.  After 2 years of doubt and anger I am a Christian.  If someone grows up a Christian and never doubts themselves than they are living a fantasy.   
 
I guess this is a perfect way to start off the day.  :P

@Pinworm45:  Actually, that's the crazy thing about the Bible.  If it was set up to be a rule orientated system of belief why couldn't they just stop with the 10 commandments?  Non-fiction, you know?  But it's set up as a story.  People with rules in different contexts.  The inconsistencies arise with human understanding.  We either take it literally, or we interpret it corruptly.  I thoroughly enjoy reading and listening to people explain the contexts, rhythm, meaning, symbolism, and other qualities of the Bible.  Like any good book it has great depth.  But this one is supposed to be inspired by something greater than humanity.  Fascinating stuff really. 
 
Just so you could see my thoughts.

We live in one of, if not the, most technological advanced countries the world has ever seen.  So when people tell me, as if Christianity is new to America, that the Christians are trying to halt scientific progress, I get confused.  Science has brought many great things to humanity, but it also has been used in twisted and destructive ways.  It is susceptible to the same flaws people point out with religion.   
 
I say believe in what you want, but be sure in it.  Doubt has never been a bad thing.

I have never played Chimera, but I know my brother has.  Do we usually keep expansions as DLC or as stand-alone products?  I'd suspect that if it was an expansion and it added more to the narrative than we should keep it.  I'm not sure that how a game was sold determines whether it is significant enough or not.
