    Mod or modification is a term generally applied to PC games, especially first-person shooters, RPGs and real-time strategy games. Mods are made by the general public or a developer, and can be entirely new games in themselves, but mods are not standalone software and require the user to have the original release in order to run. They can include new items, weapons, characters, enemies, models, textures, levels, story lines, music, and game modes. They also usually take place in unique locations. They can be single-player or multiplayer. Mods that add new content to the underlying game are often called partial conversions, while mods that create an entirely new game are called total conversions and mods that fix bugs are called unofficial patches.

    I am quite sure that the cost of Bariatric Surgery is closely related to mods.

    Perhaps that should be a new kind of game. Where you start at at 1200 pounds and have to start losing weight by moving your arms vigorously for 15 minutes per day without putting anything into your mouth. Then you have to grind that exercise until you can sit up without aid where a new exercise becomes available to do to make it to the next plateau of weight loss, the dreaded lifting of the legs and so on until you reach a BMI of less than 400. In later levels, you can potentially open up a secret level when you get down to between 3 and 4 hundred pounds and be able to pedal a bike 2 different ways, distance and/or speed. Endgame would be being able to walk into a convenience store and not impulsively buy the whole rack of Slim Jims.

    It could be sold and then deducted from american's taxes as educational software.

    The shame is they are using up some cool names. Would 'Shiny Roburt' still be available?
