    The crocodiles immune system is the major cause for their generally sluggish behavior as their immune system is basically in RIDICULOUS SPEED! mode 24/7. If they get a cut, their immune system annihilates EVERYTHING around it, whether it's foreign matter/bacteria or their own flesh. It works on the razed earth strategy and so when it detects the slightest mutation in a cell it instantly takes it the fuck out.

    Fuck coal plants. We need to invest heavily in nuclear and educate the public on the fact that they're pretty much the safest form of largescale electricity production we have, and start building shittons of fast breeder reactors as they can consume up to, I believe, 90% of their waste as fuel and what's eventually left over is only radioactive for like 5-10 years, and even then the level of radiation it emits is laughable.

    Too bad ethanol eats away at most semi modern and older cars fuel systems even in concentrations of 15% or lower. Ethanol is TERRIBLE for a car.

    For all the trash everyone talks about Fox, especially the claims of hate speech/bigotry from Fox as well as Rush, Levine, Savage, etc, I've NEVER found a single person who can find a single quote to back up their statements.

    You're right, most of the fights I was ever in with those odds weren't even footing. I usually played on a level 120-140 vs level 200-240's. Player skill trumped stats and items almost entirely after around level 90, which was easily reachable in a few days.

    A good UT player can stay within the same 5-10 foot area and take out 5 guys who have him completely surrounded in a wide open space? I highly doubt this.

    Seeing as in AC I could go toe to toe with 5 other people and win if I was better than them, compared to them all just focus firing me and I die in .1 second in UT, yea, it's a shitton better.

  9. Re:Asheron's Call on The Best Game Engines · · Score: 1

    A good movement system in a game with collision detection missile/warbolt attacks combined with auto target allowed for a player to fight odds up to and surpassing 5v1, and sometimes 10v1 in certain situations depending on the player skill. The engine is what made AC's combat great.

  10. Asheron's Call on The Best Game Engines · · Score: 1

    Had the best engine to date imo as far as movement and the like is concerned due to the PVP the game offered because of it.

    MO has trouble handling 15 people in the same area, just standing around, let alone them fighting. You can't call it a PVP sandbox game when you're essentially limited to groups of 7v7 unless you have a supercomputer gaming rig. Unreal 3 engine for an MMO is the most lulzy thing I've ever heard of

    I was always skinny my whole life (I'm 22 now, and in the last year and a half went from being 170 and 5'11, and my whole childhood before that being horribly underweight as in 135 and 5'11 and unable to gain weight) and am now 5'11 and 195. I WAS 220-230 for the last couple mounts/year, and you know what helped me start losing the weight? It sure as hell wasn't going "woe is me, there are allt hese reasons why I can't lose the weight" It's called eating less and working out.

    "Wah, I get these hunger pains" No shit sherlock, you just gotta work through it. If you aren't willing to put forth the effort, then you get to stay a fatty the rest of your life.

  15. Re:Well... yeh. on Swine Flu Kills Obese People Disproportionately · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Maybe you should get your fat ass off the couch and start working out. Who the fuck cares about BMI, it means NOTHING. Burning fat to build muscle IS A GOOD THING. You're a self absorbed fatty who refuses to get up and do something about it, and looks for every fault he can find in suggestions on how to lose weight to keep from actually doing something about it which would mean that you can't play the OMG IM A VICTIM card.
