I don't even know how to respond to this..it's like my brain cannot really comprehend it.

I am not (and most likely I will never be) a big poster on this site, but nevertheless, this site has been a fun and regular part of my life for several years now, and it has been so, in no small part, due to Ryan, and the way in which he made a vital contribution to the special brand of informative silliness, that is one of the hallmarks of GiantBomb.

I have no doubt that the site will continue, and that the guys will keep making my everyday life a little more fun than it would otherwise be (not that I am unhappy about my life, but still). But two things are for sure:

I do not love this Monday.

And even though I never met you, I will sorely miss you Ryan.

My heart goes out to the rest of the GB crew, to Ryan's friends and, not least, to his family.

Thank you for everything Ryan - opinions and laughs alike - that you shared with me and with so many others.

Thank you!

I just signed up for an Itunes account (I so prefer to buy my music on an actual disc, but not everything can be gotten that way anymore) and bought the Starcraft I and II soundtracks last Friday. 
 
Other than that I have soundtracks from: 
 
Echos of War (The re-recorded Blizzard cd compilation with music from Diablo, Warcraft and Starcraft) 
Ice Wind Dale 
The Witcher 
The Total War series (The cd that came with the Total War Eras package 
Europa Universalis III (actually already had the game, but when I found it, the Collectors Edition with the cd was like 15$ so I re-bought the game just for that) 
 
Also, although I don't own the game, this track had me going for a while  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qkzZ3XJ2hlQ (From Blood Bowl)

"  Morality can take you in some weird directions, and since there is no absolute set of morals that can be universally applied, the only way I can answer your question is to say that you have no reason to be empathetic towards the person she is dating. As such, I wouldn't say that it's an equivalent act. 
 
Again though, I can't help you craft your own set of morals, nor can I predict what those morals may be (and neither can anyone else), and as such I can't really help you. 
 
I will tell you though that that shit can go south really quickly, and as such I would avidly advise against it on a practical level. "
 Jukezyppo,  just because "  no absolute set of morals that can be universally applied" that does not mean that everything has to collapse into moral relativism (there is souch a thing as moral  pluralism you know) and if you are aware of what you are in fact (at least in my reading) implying, then you should also be knowledgeable enough to be aware of this third possible position. Also practical consequences are not always all that matters.  
 
 Now   arab_prince, as for the actual question, and what you actually have to do, (to spare you the philosophical reasons for my position) I will just quoteAxxol @Axxol said:
" @arab_prince: If she wants you more than her boyfriend, then she should break it off with him. Walking into drama is stupid, I don't care if you feel lonely and all that other jazz. "
If you dont follow that advice, even though she might make you feel good, my guess (of course I dont know that) is that in a sense you will still ultimately end up feeling bad.

" Whats with all these modern games? You guys are pussies. The Lion King for SNES was a motherfucker (some of you know what I'm talkin about.) "
Hehe, glad to know I was not the only one who sat through that (and The Mask) on hard.  
 
Also even though it did not have a difficulty level, finishing Mega Man 4 for the NES was kind of a proud gaming-moment for me back then.
