I found Darksiders to be very similar to Zelda, based on all the points mentioned by the author. Separately though, I agree Zelda holds a unique charm that's very difficult to evoke or copy (kind of like Pixar movies).

The article certainly identifies an important issue, but seems simplistic in it's assessment of the root causes. As a a bio major, who wavered between pre-med and business aspirations, my main gripe with science education was the theoretic

In Jobs's case, I think it had more to do with efficiency. I believe Einstein also wore the same outfit every day, saying each person had a finite amount of time for thought, and he didn't want to waste it picking out clothes.

Having lived in the UK for a year, I can completely attest to the sentiment. The lack of seed funding appeared largely cultural to me: many of the angels I interacted with were risk-averse and old-fashioned, looking at rubber-stamps and de
