Ah, the beating drums of "Murder People Who At This Moment Of Time You Disagree With" are back. Just because guns cause fast results doesnt mean they cause good results. Infact, i bet youd find just the opposite.
I expect to see you front line should that day ever come. I am not holding my breath. Some of us have principles, like not murdering people, that stop us from cheering on violent incursion. I don't care for war and all that snuffing out of innocent lives that tends to come with it, so ill let you harm living, breahting, dreaming, loving humans -- your own countrymen at that, or god's children if you're of a religious sway -- instead, as you seem to have no problem with the notion.
Oh and when its all over? Its gonna be good not to have the brain damage associated with modern warfare. Someone'll be at the top, and chances are, it wont be a front line soldier. But good luck anyway buddy! Though once you're done playing soldier, you can come play grown up with the rest of us. More are always welcome.
I think this demonstrates exactly the problem with the modern rightwing. They demand a birth certificate from the president, multiple times and its still not good enough. They then go on to subvert (if not break) the rules so they can intentionally delay, and demand we take thems seriously. If they cant figure out how a birth certificate works, why are they all of a sudden so savvy as to know, for a reason withheld, that this would be impractical to do?
Theres a disconnect somewhere in there
My issue is the relative...I dont want to say incompetence because its not that, but lets call it "disregard for long term consequences of short-term actions." China's blown up like what, two satellites in orbit? Thats not a very nice thing to do if you know much about what happens when things moving really fast hit other things that are moving really fast.
World of Warcraft had a lot of problems, so they tried to convince us all to buy authenticators. While not a 100% solution or anything, it did help stem the tide -- even if only by pushing those folks away onto the less secure accounts.
Plus they gave us all puppies!
I fear yuo may be remembering the glory years a bit too...glory-dly...(lets just go with that.) after having played Diablo 2, i went back for diabloe 1 and could barley make my way around the screen. imagine my surprise when i went o go see what comes after the tower...
Exceptions: My boyfriend plays MMOs.I play for the sole reason that he enjoys it...Oh, but Planetside was good. It pulled no punches, and it was just massacre after another where nothing really changed.
But I assume you mean the recent ones. Yes and No. City of Heroes (a month befor wow) has a community built game. theres only a couple things in that game you can doA global, cross faction Help channel that is actually used for help; That is actually helpful. You see people doing all the neato holiday things,..and all around fantastic setting and feel, if a bit overwhelming.
And the costumes are far and away better than "Glowy Rune Wa"nd rextured from burning crusade #99291
Trouble is, Wow encourages certain types of playing,since blizzard will do everything the ycan to not close a paying account.
My favorite of coure is city of villains: so many options, unlike the 10 or so in other games, so many homeless people to lobotamize (Thats what they get for living somewhere called the Rogue Isles.) And this is all a point: What the hell is an MMO?
Phantasy Star Online had all the features of an MMO, except only in one area. and you never see oteher people.
Ugh. Awful awaful games.
Better than being a RIFTS enthusiasts. the only thing Siembeda has more than law monkey is aspergers.
Oh hey, while im at it:
http://www.somethingawful.com/d/dungeons-and-dragons/ ^o.o^ its a section called "WTF D&D" for great reason. This has very little to do with anything, but is neat so yeah.
Nature likes to watch us squirm. "Cute infinity symbol." as a response to all mathematical endeavors.. "You cant ever reach the lowest possible temperature no matter how hard you try." on absolute zero.
Of course, thats putting things in a human perspective. It'll probably a lot more like "You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack!"
Indeed. One thing that many laymen make a mistake of is assuming that Earth is a closed system. Entropy must increase, but may not be meaningful; we'll be living it up without issue until the sun grows and obliterates the planet.
So yep! One of the bizarre things about the galactic filaments, is the density fluctuates into areas of high and low mesh, creating that pretty web. In the end, all things wil llikely expand away from all thigns (thus causing heat death.) But I guarantee you, and everyone, that when the universe dies from heat death, it wont be our problem.
It is unknown how entropy effects heaven but i dont know any atomic angels so, that should be a fun ride to watch.
The one good thing, that can never be disupted about these volcanoes, is that they expose us to the wonderful names the slavic folks give such frighteningly powerful systems.
I was born during the chernobyl incident. Like all people from the mid 1980s, I of course developed super powers. Fighting off the soviets..that was easy. But now do we have to prepare to fight the JDF Otaku Division? I dont like beating people who are 5' tall and wearing an Ultraman costume, But ill do it if I have to. Anything to keep the Invisible Civil War from spreading...but man...they have tentacle monsters! Thats no fun for anyone.
It seems almost obvious really -- why would anyone trust their game>movie experience to an outside group? Having the game makers and designers working on it can only improve what has been, for quite some time, a really awful form of movie.
At the same time though, I'm reminded of the mario bros. movie, which I actually like. There was no way they could translate mario into a sane movie, and It was a bad and obvious choice. I fear we may see much more of this, since the differences between the mediums are so huge.
That or all our games will become like movies. But that terrifies me so I refuse to acknowledge it.
A lesson? Yeah. Kids can be made into databases. Why dont they get some math kid out to count pi?
Seriously,tired of this. Intelligence does not equal database. Thats why we have computers; rote memorization is easy if you beat the child hard enough. And these kids are going to go, well, pretty much nowhere in their life. The media has decided that this, here, now, is the pinnacle.
At lest the blind girl will never be able to read how much people think she's special for being blind. What a miserable 15 minutes of fame! But, there we are.
I really dont like the "average lifespan" measurements. They're nonsense! Most sudden deaths happen in infants, infalting the number massively. Moreso if you count miscarraiges. Really, if you make it past those first few hell years, you will probably have quite some time left, barring extreme violence, major disease or overwhelming senescence.
I wonder, do you think she'll be given the honor of having her ashes put into space, like many others have? I dont know how much fictional characters actors do this sorta thing, but considering the legacy of Doctor Who and its supreme importance to modern culture, it seems a fitting departure.
Nah. Most schools banned Tic-Tac-Toe after War Games came out. Then they got confused and started to ban virtual pets and pokemon.
they actually put a sign on all thec omptuers saying that "hacking was a crime" in language that minimalist and stupid. Especially since they were running windows 98. My teacher asked me to get rid of their loserlock functions, because apparently, high schoolers cant be trusted with a desktop visible.
Seriously, its the least interesting game in the universe. For a turn based war sim, it fails at the biggest point: No two armies are ever equal. You cant advance in abiility, you cant make an orderly retreat, you cant build trenches or fortifications. Because so often I just send my king out (on the back of a peasant; thats why he cant move very far) so a pawn can stomp all over him.
Meh! Boring boring BORING game that has been turned into a fetish thats even more sad than the MMORPGs.
The Original Empire Earth (and its expansion) are leagues ahead of chess. (empire earth 2 and 3 suck.) How do I represent an atomic bomber in chess? I tried dropping a rock on the field but that got me kicked out of chess club.
Knocked their king down though, so I won. Sore losers.
So, just curious, did you know that Allah is simply a translation of "God"? That its the abrahamic god? That they worship jesus as a prophet. Im curious because it seems odd to completely miss the point of that episode (Free speech, not anti muslim idiocy.) So really, youre just a whining crybaby who has no idea how even the most important thing in his life, your imaginary crusade, works.
You call them monsters. How many children you stone to death today, with your awful evil bible, telling you to kill women, kill children, take slaves, cut off penises, destroy nations...? More than youd know, doesnt matter if you didnt pick up the damned rock.
So why not crawl back under it with your repressive, hateful and completely stupid interpretation of US law? You dont seem to understand how anything works, and in a good world, you'd have starved years ago. Thats all the proof i need to see your god is false: Monsters and Idiots like you exist.
You do not know Michio Kaku. This man will be shouting the greatness of reality even as he was sucked down a black hole (black holes do not suck.) Im sure he will offer some great cheery insights into what spaghettification feels like. Though I worry we'd have trouble hearing it, what with the vent horizon
Console games make me sad. Have you ever tried to get a SNES emulator to work on a modern LCD display? You cant do it, because it requires the light scatter guns of a cathode ray screen to extend pixels to the point of smoothness without causing errors. Pretty clever really, but very disruptive for nostalgia. Game console developers were necessary back then -- these days, making a game for the PC and the TV is basically the same thing.
I think we should support Virtual Consoles. The idea being, say, a Playstation 4 being released solely as a game playing medium. This would also let us use real controllers for emulators, since it would need a USB controller. Really, it seems like its inevitable.
SOME people want simple games. Others want hugely complex games (see: Elder scrolls Skyrim) and thats the problem. These two groups share very little common ground...And one of them is a lot easier to exploit. Why go to the trouble of making anti-piracy measures when you can just make it so no oen can play your game except from through a browser at your website?

So which company was this that had such ludicrously lax security and managment? Do they have a website?

You are correct in the red and blue parts. This might be helpful; Its the Doppler effect but with light instead of sound.

Huh. I somehow had managed to completely blank what sort of games Ubisoft did out of my mind. Now I remember. And I was having such a nice day too.
