    Just ram it in until the wooden part makes contact with the vampire's heart. Failing that, just nail him to a slab of concrete and see how far immortality gets him.

  2. Re:Afraid of 2D Games on How Sega Can Save Sonic · · Score: 1

    I think Sonic would work better in 3d than 2d if done well. In 3d you can have an almost unlimited viewing distance, in 2d you only see up to the edge of the screen and with Sonic you'll be there faster than you can react. Sonic's speed was mostly in on-rails sequences in the 2d games where elements were arranged to move you along a path without user interaction, in other places high speed would only net you a quick death because you couldn't react to obstacles fast enough or there were simply timed obstacles that prevented fast movement. In 3d you can see an obstacle from far away and react to it even when you're moving very fast. I think Sega's problem is more with the implementation rather than the concept. Sonic should be treated like a racing game with loads of deadly obstacles and precise jumping. Of course that still wouldn't be like the 2d games but those in 3d wouldn't be much different from Mario 64 with the occassional high-speed cutscene.

    Get a DS, get Sonic Rush. While it has a few weak stages it's a pretty good game overall.

    That space is added by Slashdot's comment code that prevents a line from containing a "word" (well, long string without whitespaces) that breaks the table layout.

    The DMCA is also used for making webhosts take down alledgedly infringing material without needing to involve any courts.

    Restricted meaning restricted by law. Those ratings on movies hold about as much weight as the ESRB's ratings on games (except for porn, of course). Unless the cinema wants to check if their cashiers uphold a company policy there's no need for secret shoppers.

    Movie tickets aren't age restricted, noone would need secret shoppers for those.

    You can't do much about that anyway when they bring an adult with them but at least GS won't sell the game if the kid doesn't have an adult with him. That way some adult will have to approve the sale and there's hope that this adult one of the parents.

    Yes but the point was that they don't guarantee completely unrestricted free speech, they already say that it's limited.

    Who says it isn't a fourrier series and civilisation is one of its curves? I.e. it'll warm up until civilization breaks down, all industrial activity ceases, most humans die and there's noone left to continue the man-made emissions?

    Autocracy is based on the assumption that one man is wiser than a million men.

    No, autocracy is based on the idea that this one man can get rid of anyone who opposes him.

    Yeah, it's clear. It says Congress. Says nothing about other government bodies or even other countries. So a country that shot you if you opened your mouth would still give you your First Amendment because it's not Congress lmiting your freedom of speech, it's the local tyrant.

    Many Christians have killed "heretics". Taking a few of these people and claiming the whole bunch of them is like that is a complete bunch of bullshit. I've seen fat Americans, does that mean all Americans are gigantic blobs of fat?

    The notion that the "vast majority of Muslims" are more or less harmless is a dogma that isn't based on any evidence or rational thinking.

    Neither is the idea that any group on this planet is harmless or that any person on the internet is saying the truth. Let's lock up all followers of any religion, there have been violent people among them and we have no evidence that the rest of them aren't secretly planning to take over the world.

    The BPjM was called BPjS, federal testing agency for youth-endangering scriptures, before its name was changed to recognize the many different media out there. Any kind of media can be indexed, there are indexed movies, books, music, etc. Some of the more violent or pornographic mangas are also on the list (e.g. volumes of Hellsing and even Sailor Moon).

    I read that games are actually allowed to show Nazi symbols in the right context but that definition is so vague noone wants to risk trying it.

    We do get taught about the Nazi time in school but that doesn't mean we randomly strike up casual conversations about the holocaust.
