He's Will Fucking Wright. He can damn well stammer if he wants to, especially if he's demoing a game like that. With a game like that, he can bloody well talk like Bullwinkle for the whole hour if he wants.
Haven't you heard that there will be a Sam & Max game after all? Best of all, it isn't being made by Lucasarts, but it is being made by the people who were on Lucasarts' "Freelance Police" project.
The reason so many companies use Internet Explorer is because Microsoft makes deals with them that forbid the use of any third-party software on the companies' networks. This was the case at my former company.
Not only didn't Darwin recant, but it wouldn't matter even if he had. People like the grandparent can't understand that evolution doesn't hang on Darwin's say-so. Evolution is true because of the evidence supporting it, not because Darwin said it is.
Actually, none of the things that you mentioned would neccessarily disprove evolution. Evolution is falsifiable, but any concievable disproof has already missed the boat. If different fossils wern't found in predictable rock strata, that would disprove evolution. If DNA replication was perfect, that would also disprove evolution. If the DNA of different species bore no resemblence to each other, that would disprove evolution too.
You keep telling us to check the facts, but I notice that you aren't supplying any. Could it be that you don't have any to supply and are simply trying to BS your way through this?
The facts support evolution. There are no facts whatsoever that support creationism, regardless of whether it is wearing the cheap suit of intelligent design.
When you read the original hebrew, you get a somewhat different take. The first creation was by a pantheon of gods who created the universe, earth and humans. The second creation was by one particular member of that pantheon who created his own little place on earth, eden, and put adam and eve in it.
Shuffle a deck of cards and spread them out. The odds of the cards coming up in that particular order are around 8x10^67. You talk as if evolution was trying to hit a dartboard with humans in the center. Anything could have evolved and they are all equally improbable. Evolution doesn't care what evolves. All evolution does is filter out harmful mutations.
By the way, you are wrong about all mutations being harmful. The vast majority of mutations are neutral, neither harmful nor helpful. Second to that are harmful mutations, and the least common are helpful. Whether a mutation is harmful or helpful largly depends on its environment. A mutation that gives an animal thick layers of fat would be helpful in an artic environment, but harmful in a desert or somewhere where it has to run quickly to escape predators.
In "The Why Of Fry", when Fry confronts Nibbler back in 1999, Nibbler talks about a prophecy where Fry saves the universe (what he is doing at that moment) and mentions that Leela must be "the other".
They have to do something with Leela's part of the prophecy!
Beyond Good and Evil was one of the best games ever. The main character is a young, strong, intelligent, realistically proportioned (or as realistic as you can get for the cartoony style of the game) female freelance journalist who spends most of her time taking care of a group of war orphans.
They took the beat away, replaced it with machines They took the words away and threw 'em on a screen They turned the switches on and handed us the phones They blasted out our ears with endless monotone
Can you feel it, can you feel it From a million miles away Can you hear it, can you hear it Getting louder everyday
Give the music back, give the music back Give the music back before it's gone Give the music back, give the music back Put the music back into the song
They drove the blues away and banished rock n' roll They cut away the heart and sacrificed the soul They closed the discos down and shut off MTV They locked the music up and threw away the key
Can you feel it? Can you feel it? From a million miles away Can you hear it? Can you hear it? Getting louder every day
Give the music back, give the music back Give the music back, before it's gone Give the music back, give the music back Put the music back into the song
And now a silence fills the rooms where once we sang And all is quiet where once the chimes of freedom rang Somewhere a pirate ship is crashing through the waves Sending a signal out, a ballad to the brave
Give the music back, give the music back Give the music back before it's gone Give the music back, give the music back Put the music back where it belongs...

And here is the full hour long video.
You have to scroll down a bit. Just do a search on 'Wright' (bugmenot has the registration email)
Twice as many of the crappy, formulaic excuses for games that we have today, with fewer of the true rare gems.

Gamers tell industry to expect more piracy.

How long until we get something definite?

And yet you still havn't shown any facts supporting your position, just a bunch of baseless assertions.
Put up or shut up.
How about if John Dvorak shuts the hell up?

Ummm... read the post again. Carefully. Especially the first seven words.
Information taken from various episodes tells us that Bender is composed of
30% Iron
40% Zinc
40% Titanium
40% Dolomite
Something tells me that continuity is not formost on Mr Groening's mind.
Whether you like the scene or not, you have to stand in awe of Joss for having the balls to pull something like that.
"Professor Farnsworth's Parabox" was on last night on Adult Swim.
I meant more than that. Leela and Fry need to save the universe together.
Wait... Not the universe... All the universes. Yes!
In "The Why Of Fry", when Fry confronts Nibbler back in 1999, Nibbler talks about a prophecy where Fry saves the universe (what he is doing at that moment) and mentions that Leela must be "the other".

Give The Music Back
The Hooters
They took the beat away, replaced it with machines
They took the words away and threw 'em on a screen
They turned the switches on and handed us the phones
They blasted out our ears with endless monotone
Can you feel it, can you feel it
From a million miles away
Can you hear it, can you hear it
Getting louder everyday
Give the music back, give the music back
Give the music back before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back into the song
They drove the blues away and banished rock n' roll
They cut away the heart and sacrificed the soul
They closed the discos down and shut off MTV
They locked the music up and threw away the key
Can you feel it? Can you feel it?
From a million miles away
Can you hear it? Can you hear it?
Getting louder every day
Give the music back, give the music back
Give the music back, before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back into the song
And now a silence fills the rooms where once we sang
And all is quiet where once the chimes of freedom rang
Somewhere a pirate ship is crashing through the waves
Sending a signal out, a ballad to the brave
Give the music back, give the music back
Give the music back before it's gone
Give the music back, give the music back
Put the music back where it belongs...
