Regenerating Health is often thought to have been pioneered by the Halo Series. Whether that's true or not doesn't concern me (I think it appeared in a playstation bond game before. At least that's what my memory thinks), what does concern me is the over zealous use of Regenerating health
God that is just so wrong. Halo invented fast regeneration.
Before Halo, you'd have to find a safe spot and wait for 5 minutes for your shields to recharge. Thank you Halo for fixing that.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
