  1. Re:We already have Photoshop! on Google Funds Work for Photoshop on Linux · · Score: 1

    Why would you be using 2d image editing for 3d animation anyways? Wouldn't you be using 3d studio max?

    This is your boss. Will you please come to my office?

    It is a sad state of affairs, but no US(or any other country, really) organization can really match BBC.

    Show me any evidence that the modern perception of the Right and the current administration are different. At any rate, the neocons have eaten up any halfway respectable part of the Right since Reagan.

    Tell me, have you used a log table in the past ten years?

    Show me a single American who got imprisoned, lashed, deported, or worse for any of that. Hell, Europeans don't get that either, although I can show you some stuff about how Germany tried to block the building of a mosque.

    No, you cannot with a regex. If you can, it's not really a regex, it's something different.

    Yeah, I know it exists everywhere, but with Death Note, there are probably some theological implications from the fact that God hasn't smote these people.

    Fuck you, I'm doing perfectly fine with Asperger's. I'm willing to bet that you don't know much about quantum field theory(which, by the way, is how you get the chicks) and that you also don't know about how gamers make better surgeons. Your "actual workings of the world" are bullshit and you probably believe in homeopathy.

  10. Re:Appreciation? on Videogames Doomed for a 'Comics-like Ghetto'? · · Score: 1

    Yes, so? Learning to read literature of any kind is considerably easier than developing an appreciation for it. Most gamers I know have very little appreciation for games other than "Check this awesome physics" or "look at the bump mapping with 17 quadrillion triangles!". Nobody ever says "That is an amazing piece of level design, see how it flows from one section to the next and leads the player through?" or "This is an amazing piece of character building". Odd, I've had the exact opposite scenario. I've only met one person(she's female, and sees it in her heart to ruin Death Note by ignoring the complex cat-and-mouse game between Light and L and replacing it with gay sex, but anyways) who ever really talked much about graphics. But I see things like what you "never" hear on every single online forum, and strawmen references like that on every single online forum.

    people can also grab Billie Piper's autobiography and call it a triumph of self-expression through writing. I'd have to say that it's still probably better than the Scarlet Letter, which seems to have the sole purpose of making teenagers hate books.

    Don't you know that the only true art is unreadably long-winded prose about infidelity?

  12. Re:Not a chance on Videogames Doomed for a 'Comics-like Ghetto'? · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, you'd want us all reading The Scarlet Letter. The Daily Show watchers were more informed than those of any other news show because the humor is a great memory aid. I'm willing to bet people learned more about Objectivism from Bioshock than from Ayn Rand's actual works because the latter were horrid reading.

    You're wrong and you're a grotesquely ugly freak.

    Really. So the PS2 had a built in hard drive? An online gaming platform for multi-player action? No, but there is a gaming platform that still outsells the PS2, PS3, XBox 360, Wii, 3D0, and every other gaming system combined, has had hard drive storage from the beginning, has had Internet gaming support since the 90s, and has the largest back-catalog of games, period.

    only American comic books would even think of. Well, you can get most of that in 98% of shipping-related fanfic, well, everything except JMS trying to get his name scratched off the issue.

    Exactly. It's the line I harp on, instead of the "series of tubes" line which would be okay if it weren't in such a stupid speech.
