If you're truly a bible thumper, you can know that no man can predict the ways of God. Unless of course God told you what would happen to tell others, like Jonah in Ninevah. It also says there shouldn't be any further prophets you should look for. God's calling people to help spread his word, but not for prophesy.
Check out my link, I have a nice logical explaination on how you can analyze the bible. Its good for scientists and tech people who don't buy into the pure faith argument.
I wasn't defending the kids. I was simply saying theres not a whole lot to do in the area. I guess theres the YMCA which was cool for its time. I'm impressed something so minor made it out of the local media. Spraypainting happens all the time, everywhere. Suddenly its supposed to be a big deal because kids blame a video game?
I grew up near Greensburg, they're now putting in the largest Wal-Mart in the world there. Not much to do in the area except go to Westmoreland mall. Kids get quickly bored in that area. I wouldn't say GTA: San Andreas is to blame. I'd say corporate commercialism and liability is.
If there were places for teenagers to hangout, like skateparks, there would be less influence to go out and do stupid things. Any time a teenager brings a gun, drugs, or hurts himself on your property, you lose your property to lawsuits. So no one caters to making fun places to hang out, its nothing but people's houses and stores out there. Maybe its like that everywhere now.
Telling people online gaming is where its at got me bad looks when I tried to appeal to a video game employer. Apparently the only video game company that ever interviewed me as a game designer, also just lost half their company to a split... The verant split to Everquest. So they didn't want to hear online gaming is a thing of the future. There's SOOOOO much you can do with online gaming, yet people barely touched the basics.

It illustrates that if you allow users to build levels and other content, and have it available for play automatically to all, then you build a community and a growing game.
One reason you haven't had camera arrays capture your body movements and translate them into 3d for cool fighting video games is that the frame rate on cameras was too low. You'd get blurs in frames using a 30fps camera. I wonder if you still get blurs, or if you get an exact picture of where someone is at. Street Fighter where you actually punch and dodge would be nice, or some midevil sword game.
No. I'm not making a leap of any sort, and you don't understand what logic means. Other readers will get this. The bible is truthful in all parts and once you use worldly understanding to know it as truth, you can take the hard parts on faith. Read my link below, I go into all the truths with logic.
You claim I'm a fool, I claim you're a fool.
The bible even says,"Argue with a fool, and you make yourself look out to be a fool." So I'm done with you. If you can think for yourself, you could read the bible and understand its truths.
"Sure, he might've. He might've created the universe three seconds ago. But why would he do that? Just to fool us into thinking he doesn't exist?"
The bible is 100% true. You can focus on the easy to comprehend truths first, then you believe on faith the rest. I provide strategies for examining the truths in the bible in my link. One of the easiest proofs of God in the bible is that prophesies take place. No one around today can prophesize the future, they're all made out to look like fools.
If you believe prophesy is hard, predicting random events in the future is impossible and only God could do it, then the bible is proven.

Yes, people have read the bible and guessed about what's going on in the universe before.
When science disproves that person's theory, you cannot then say it disproves the bible. You're not disproving the Bible, you're disproving a man's theory he imagined from reading the bible.
You say there is proof that the world is older than 10,000 years, but you fail to consider that God could have made everything look like its that old. You also fail to realise that a day of God's time isn't the same as a day in man's time.
You're using narrowmindedness and faulty logic to make the claim that science disproves God. I know God exists. If you want to read up on logically understanding God, I did a write up last night. Its in my link. You can use earthly logic to understand God.

I wrote a design document for Transformers Online a few days ago. Its a pretty intense MMOG that bases its action off PlanetSide, but has RTS elements, and a long character progression. I don't think Hasbro executives will pick up on it, but its a good read if you're interested in where next generation MMOGs should be heading.
At my company we talked about the all memory database, no one mentioned names, but it was hyped 9000 times faster than Oracle running in ramdisk. Its open source. Maybe someone else knows more than this.
My friends and I also had:
Optic Nerve man- Can fire his eyes out, and entangle people in his unbreakable optic nerves. To retrieve his eyes, he tugs on them like a vacuum cleaner cord.
Repetitive Action Man-If he does 3 actions in a row, he gets locked into an infinate loop, and keeps getting faster until knocked out of it.
Magnetic Arm Man-He has a cybernetic arm which endows him with great strength, but if he becomes angry, it becomes magnetic and he sticks to nearby objects like passing trains.
I like to try and make serious stories, but have comedic events happen along the way. Its the way I used to run my pencil and paper RPGs.
I had a comic book character I invented that is out for Justice, but is blinded to think all crimes are equal. It starts out with the Indiscriminator perched above a bank and it shows two robbers running out below. He jumps off the bank in pursuit, but Wait theres a bunch of fleeing citizens. Whats more, some are jaywalking! So the Indiscriminator stops his pursuit of the bank robbers to beat up some jaywalkers.
Later issues have him diving off an overpass to rip open the roof of a car thats speeding. He then beats up the driver.
There were several 'movie games' back in the early 90s with excellent graphics, but you need to find the blue key in the haystack to get past a point. They were so freaking impossible without a hint book that they weren't fun. I'm freaking psyched we've finally evolved past that point. Now we're stuck in MMOG infancy mode. Theres going to be one big MMOG that comes out soon that will be a virutual monopoly(excuse the pun). Lets just hope it doesn't suck. If you don't believe me, think Street Fighter 2 popularity on a persistant world where there is user created content. People love the game at first and invest tons of hours and create tons of stuff in the game, so the game gets better over time. The amount of money it makes affords big name game developers, so the game just evolves in a way no other game could have ever afforded. Since the game rules so much, it will draw more and more gamers in. Since all the gamers are playing this game, they won't have dollars for other competing projects.
Some games that have a chance of jacking the market
I'll buy Half Life 2 when someone makes a decent multiplayer mod that's respected. I'm only interested in games that I can compete in world wide tournaments anymore. Single player games that tweak your ego by letting you crush your enemies are silly. Multiplayer games that don't become popular because they suck are imbalanced aren't my interest either. Its the solidly balanced multiplayer game that interests me.
I was at g3 several years ago, on my only game developer job interview. I kept ranting and raving about how big online gaming would be, and how theres a monopoly that needs to be capped in it(which amazingly no one has achieved yet). Anyway its funny I didn't get hired by 919 sports though because that company just had half their company split into Verant who was making Everquest. It didn't dawn on me until later why I was getting blank and cold stares from the people in 919. For a game company to still not see the multibillion online market is beyond me.
