Thanks to the internet, I've seen things you would not believe. Footage of people actually getting killed and tortured, for instance, didn't disturb me as much while watching it as it did and does while contemplating later what I've just seen. On the other hand, seeing my first and only dead person in real life and knowing there was no life there is still the single most affecting thing I have ever seen. I'm the type of guy who can get upset over killing virtual baddies in, say, GoldenEye or Medal of Honor.
Yeah, I'd have to second that. Even if someone isn't actually throwing up, just that horrible retching sound is enough for me. Back in the day, doing the gentlemanly thing of holding Sam's hair back so she wouldn't puke over it was truly a test of mind over matter - in this case, stomach matter. I've done the same for Shell after a particularly alcoholic night out; how I didn't actually lose it myself must be one of those miracles I hear tell about.
Ok, now I think I really am going to be sick...

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
