Not to mention that when looked at from an objective standard, 4, 5, and 6 also sucked ass. Serenity was certainly better acted than any of the Star Wars movies. Star wars drew the massive acclaim that it did because of the shinies in the films, which for the time were fucking amazing. Without those it would have gotten much, much less attention than it did.
And none of this explains the many anomalies within the pyramid. Or the fact that the only stones that have been dated from the pyramid have been from the sheathing, which may or may not be the same age as the rest of the pyramid itself. Or why when the anomalies were to be fully explored the egyptian government shut down outside exploration of the pyramid.
Actually, it wasn't that interesting. The enemy in gears was about as strategically sound as hitler, which pretty much any military historian could tell you was a fucking moron when it came to military planning. Seriously, with the numbers the enemy can call upon and the fact that the group you were primarily with were the only real resistance beyond a small enclave of soldiers on the planet the fact that they weren't tracked, had troops massed against them, and then literally swarmed after the second berserker is fucking laughable. You DO NOT leave an enemy group of soldiers that competent in your backfield and just send peicemeal forces against them.
Love how this was modded flamebait when it's naught but the truth. The only real downside to the PS3 is the controller, but they're releasing an actual remote within a couple of months. Nice to see how reflective of reality/.s mod system is.
Fuck up royally by doing something as stupid as not standardizing software on their great big engineering project, thereby getting the great majority of their business orders for the new 380 cancelled? Oh yeah, real smart.
No no, Michael Moore, Noam Chomsky, Cindy Sheehan, Louis Farrakhan, Ann Coulter, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and David Duke are all running for president that year.
You mean like the prius? The ultra polluting green car? The problem with relying on batteries for a 'green' car is that the waste products of battery production are, in a word, horrific, and it completely nulls the point of the electric car. Not to mention that the gas mileage of the prius is much less than advertised, simply because very, very few people accelerate that slowly and keep their speed down to 55 mph on the highway. It's actually closer to 48 mpg.
And yet, drifting in a real life rwd vehicle on wet pavement and doing so in Gran Turismo is eerily similar. As in, I learned my drifting skills from GT, practiced them in an empty wet parking lot one day and what I did in the game had the same effect as what I did in the parking lot. And it is a simulator, just without damage. Arguably it is more realistic in it's driving realism than the Forza series is. Both my dad and his friend find it extremely realistic, both in the driving itself and the effects of tuning the suspension etc... etc... Well, except for the Mach 2 Escudo trick from GT3.
'low-powered CPU'?!?!? It's the same fucking CPU that's in the 360, but there's one and seven DSPs instead of another two CISC based procs. Hardware-wise the PS3 is the superior system, although it could stand to have more memory as the performance of the system will be memory-bound before they hit the limits of the graphics card and the proc itself. Low-powered my ass.
True, but then, that's what EVERY UN sponsered study of the issue has done. You know, all those studies by the IPCC that support the man-made global warming meme.
Man didn't tame nature, man stopped doing something stupid that afterwards had an extremely clear link to the problem. Such is not the case with CO2 warming theories. It's like some scientists went into a lab, mocked up some experiments with CO2 in the lab that state when X% of CO2 is added, temperatures greatly increased by Y in the upper areas(tropospheric equivelant). Then somebody went and said, "OH NO, we're outputting too much CO2, the current warming trend must be anthropological in nature" without ever searching for variable Y, which isn't occuring anywhere near the rate it should be if CO2 levels are to blame.
Okay smartypants, explain why the CO2 concentration in the atmosphere throughout history had a dependent relationship with temperature, rather than a independent one. Also explain why, if CO2 is the cause of the current warming trend, we are not seeing rapid heating in the troposphere over the equator like most scientists accept that we should be seeing if global warming is baed off of a feedback loop from greenhouse gases.
Or you get two boxes, pirate the same movie from both, check the differences between the two files, and scramble the watermarks. A more seach intensive version of what trainers allow for gaming, but really not impossible.
Id corn all the rats were fed? Cause I'm pretty sure that a human would be in pretty bad shape anyway if they just ate corn for 90 days and had only water to drink.
Just because something is light, does not make it visible light. Technically speaking, x-rays are a form of light. Admittedly a realatively useless for computing form of light, but still.
Your comment is true, except for airborne pathogens. And if I remember correctly the hot zone was about an airborn variant of ebola based off of the Reston case. Given modern transportation an airborne variant would have more than enough time to spread if it ever got to a relatively major populated area.
Sunspots bitch. The cycle of sunspots on the sun over the past century and a half much, much much more closely reflects tmeperature change than CO2 does. The same relationship is shown over the past several centuries using collected astronomical data by the scientists of the day. Sit down, shut up, and watch. http://littlegreenfootballs.com/weblog/?entry=2476 0_The_Great_Global_Warming_Swindle#comments
Except CO2 really has very little to do with global warming. The average CO2 rate, when compared with average temperature over the millenia does not predate temperature change, but instead follows it. This means that it is NOT THE CAUSE. End of discussion. Interestingly enough, when the temperature of the oceans rises, they release more CO2, but when the temperature of the oceans decreases, they absorb more CO2. And the reason that the CO2 levels are delayed is because the oceans are so massive that it literally takes centuries for the oceans to reflect what were then current conditions Of course, if you had actually watched the documentary that he got the death threats about you would know this information. But that would require you to pull your head out and listen to an opposing viewpoint for once. So it's not suprising that hasn't happened given the general tendencies of humanity.
It was meh. As a hack 'n slash it was okay, but the plot was weak tea. And sales really don't tell you how good a game actually is on their own, or else the fucking SIMS pwn everything.
