Two a.m.' He swallowed, then said, "You know. The person you can call at two a.m. and, no matter what, you can count on them. Even if they're asleep or it's cold or you need to be bailed out of jail...they'll come for you. It's like, the highest level of friendship.
Sometimes, I call my 2 AM because other people advise me to, but then he's sleeping and then gets angry when woken!

MODE 2 THINKING
Festinger's Theory of Cognitive Dissonance postulates that individuals,when presented with evidence contrary to their worldview or situations in which they must behave contrary to their worldview, experience "cognitive dissonance."
MODE 2 THINKING
There is a connection between mode 2 thinking and cognitive dissonance.
Emotionally based thinking is much more susceptible to facts and logic which contradict the justification for that thinking or emotional worldview.
Factually or logically inconsistent cognitions are
countered not with consistent factual/logical cognitions, but with emotional cognitions.
For the mode 2 thinker, the universe is not a
matter of logic and fact, it is a matter of emotion, and when presented with logic or facts that contradict a strongly held emotion, they respond not with a logical/factual refutation of that contradiction, but
with an emotional refutation.
The mode 2 thinker refutes emotionally,not logically.
This is why one cannot debate or discuss logic and facts
with mode 2 thinkers. Any reasoned discussion or debate is met with emotional discussion or debate. It is like trying to debate with a child...they simply don't hear you.
How can one counter emotional arguments?
Answer: It is not possible.
Mode 2 thinkers cannot be persuaded rationally...i.e. with facts and logic that contradict their worldview.
Only rational individuals can be persuaded with contradictory facts and logic.
MODE 2 Thinking.... ESDLs say...don't confuse me with the facts for I have already made up my mind and the facts will just confuse me!
Mode 2 thinking... Hilliary says "It's a vast right wing conspiracy".
MODE 2 thinking......Al Gore won in 2000, Humans cause Global Warming and not the SUN!
Mode 2 thinking.... George Bush is an idiot, but he tricked the smartest woman in the world to vote for the Iraq war, Hilliary
Mode 2 thinking....Oral sex is not sex, and ...."it depends on what the meaning of "is...IS"
Mode 2 thinking..... School teachers say, "pay us more and we will teach better"
Mode 2 thinking.... They get so much more than I do, It's not fair!
Mode 2 thinking..... We are over worked & underpaid!

After Quake one John Carmack and American McGee began work on Quake II. It was released in 1997 and featured cutting edge graphics and 3D acceleration. It took advantage of the latest hardware. Allthough it was not an exact sequel to Quake 1 it had a similiar feel. The big feature of Quake II that made it a hit was its Deathmatch mode and later added Capture the Flag modes.
It also spawned a pile of mods including Weapons Factory, Lithium, and Action Quake. The success of Quake IIs multiplayer led to the development of Quake III which was solely based around CTF and Deathmatch.
The opengl game engine was also a big success and was used by other developers in games such as Daikanta. When it was made available for free to the public small third party games where also released, LTKTBM (a standalone version of Action Quake), and Alien Arena which now is a mixture between the Quake 2 and 3 source codes.
nothing like loading up gamespy and playing a round of Quake 2
