Meh, I don't see anything wrong with the first quote. It fits within the context of James Halliday's character as a social recluse. And as for the second, the "asian kid's older brother" did not commit suicide, he was murdered. Though I agree that Cline could have just used the word suicide instead of seppuku, the characters in question were pretty obsessed with the samurai.
