I cannot really care about another crappy trekky movie but I'm happy with either outcome. If after the first week it fails and ends up a disappointment like Watchmen, then the crappy trekky franchise is dead and this time it's going to be forever because no-one will be so foolish as to invest in that pile of dung anymore.
If it is a success, which is more likely, it will be even better because the new movie COMPLETELY ERASES the old trekky stuff. It's not just dead, Jim, it has CEASED TO EXIST! No more the-next-crapulation, no more deep-shit-nine, no more whatever-I-can't-be-bothered-to-remember-the-titles. Even the pathetic old series sinks forever into the toilet bowl of history and is no more. Think of it! All the novels (who wastes good toilet paper on crappy trek anyway), comics, everything made irrelevant forever! It's like shitting on the face of all the basement-dwelling, bad-smelling, ludicrously-dressed trekkie pedophile geeks everywhere!
Yes, because this is not the old, pathetic, crappy trek. This is something for the real people, the beautiful people, the athletic, sports-loving, action fans. This is jock stuff, to which nerds cannot relate.
Loserboy nerd, games have never been a niche market for nerds. The Atari VCS sold 30 million units, hardly "niche" numbers. It was a huge market even in the late '70s-early '80s before the 1983 crash, and after that the NES went on to sell 62 million units. Nobody invests money and effort in something only smelly geeks in their parents' basements would buy. Same with home computers. Same with RPGs. You believe this stuff is made for you because you develop unhealthy attachment to it, while the rest of us just enjoy.
By all means, if you so vastly outnumber us, do it. But you won't and you know why? Because you can't. Dream your useless dreams, little kid, the fact is that we can burn you, your family, your city, your whole nation without even flinching. We own the air you breathe. We can shit all over the world and there's nothing you can do about it. Got it, cockroach?
... Which is to get all the Trekkie Pedophile Geeks in one place, so the cops can come around, taser them, beat them up and shit on their faces before arresting them and locking them in with some rougher types who will sexually humiliate them, beat them up and shit on their faces, for about 12 hours until they're tried and convicted for being Trekkie Pedophile Geeks, thrown in federal ass-rape prison where the inmates will routinely abuse them, beat them up and shit on their faces. And stab them with shanks or drown them in toilets until the Trekkie Pedophile Geeks are ready to be buried in Trekkie Pedophile Geek's Field where the worms will devour their flesh, beat them up and shit on their faces.
Can't read kraut? Your problem. Anyway, it's only your own defeatist attitude that keeps you from doing things that are perfectly feasible. There's a reason you nerds get beaten up by us jocks, we have the winning attitude that you cannot fathom.
Stuff yourself into a locker, shove your own head into a toilet and shit on your own face. I can't be bothered.
The first guy to climb onboard and lift off won't see anything because the capsule is badly designed. Who's the loserboy nerd who drew it? The crew standing upright, and getting their blood drained from their brain because of the acceleration during the boost phase. Smart. Real smart. No g-suit is going to keep the blood where it belongs.
Mandatory: grab them by their scrawny necks/beat them up/bang their heads against the locker door until they faint/stick them heads down into an unflushed toilet/shit on their faces.
"I'M A LESBIAN! DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT?!"
No, but PICS OR IT DIDN'T HAPPEN!
Besides, if you hate gay people it means you don't like lesbians and are, hence, a faggot. Gay-haters, racists, mysoginists, chauvinists and other lowlifers are LOSERBOY NERDS: we BEAT THEM UP and SHIT ON THEIR FACES.
"This game is going to be a fresh look at the future circa about 2035"
So it will be a game about massive unemployment, widespread abject poverty, debt slavery and inescapable bleakness as the dreams of a thousand nerds are drowned forever in the Ocean of Feces, without even their precious interweb to keep them company since it will have long since ceased to exist due to economic depression forcing people out of it (can't justify paying ISP bills when you don't even have the money to put food on the table) and ISPs shutting down.
Yeah, it's going to be a simple game after all: flip burgers, all day, the only job available to geeks with no marketable skills in the new world.
"We, as probably the most intelligent people in this land due to our skills in reasoning..."
In your dreams, loserboy nerd. IT techies are at best medium level. At best. IT is kid's play, you're not rocket scientists, you're not aerospace engineers, your meagre "skills" can be acquired by people with mediocre intellect and with very little instruction. There's a good reason your jobs are being outsourced so easily. You're nothing more than a dumpload of unwashed masturbator boys whose self-esteem bubble is being bursted big time. The fries are waiting! Practice your burger-flipping skills while we laugh at you.
Poor deluded loserboy nerd, Switzerland may be a direct democracy but that didn't stop their government from passing their own version of the DMCA in the general indifference. Some stupid geek tried to gather signatures online to bring a referendum on it, and failed. The internet is going to be gutted, get over it or suicide.
Serves you right for being a limey in limeyland, loserboy. Eat Corgi shit and cheer the CCTV cameras while Gordon Brownnose shoves nightstick up your ass and thousands of chavs slice you up with IKEA knives.
Loserboy nerd, "escape velocity" as related to Earth is the velocity needed to LEAVE Earth's orbit and enter solar orbit. It's higher than orbital velocity, and way higher than the speed required for a ballistic trajectory needed to reach a point on the surface of Earth - which as you should know is suborbital. You have no clue about orbital mechanics, like all loserboy nerds you spew out technical terms you don't understand and pretend to be smart. Bend over backwards, piss up your nostrils and drown your useless brain. Nerds. And they wonder why we beat them up and shit on their faces.
But for every one of you there are a thousand or more turdbrain like the parent poster who absolutely believe that they are living in the most amazing era ever, and that by the simple fact of being alive in it makes them better than their forerunners. They masturbate furiously in their own feces thinking nobody will ever best them, and nobody will ever get the stupid idea out of the fecal matter they have in their skulls. I'm packing some of my own shit in a time capsule, so that it can be smeared on the future clueless kids.
Real Jocks have an interest in technology and history, loserboy nerd. We just don't jerk off to it. Moreover, we have respect for the people who broke new ground, while we reserve none for the turdbrains who rehash the same crap over and over again and think they're l33t h4x0rz.
Loserboy nerd, it's not only "retrocomputing", it's Digital Archeology. That particular specimen was cutting edge at a time when home computers where still a novelty and many media pundits predicted they would simply disappear like a fad. The stuff you buy now at the local computer shop *is* pathetic, it's rehashed stuff. There's nothing really *new*, just the same old shit with a slicker packaging. Why should they sully a perfectly preserved piece of history to make it work with modern crap? Would you hook up an old gramophone to an iPod? Probably yes, because you're a loserboy nerd who is only worthy of a steamy and smelly facial defecation.
We don't fucking care. The RIAA is a politically relevant organization that no administration will ignore, ever. Your "rights" are irrelevant when we're talking significant amounts of money. We'll strongly enforce the DMCA, we will police the internet, we will turn it into a legitimate business environment. Get over it. If we have to bankrupt you and your precious filesharers, we will do it. The industry is more important than your petty lives.
Those "potential" doctors, lawyers, scientists, teachers, and more can safely sweep streets and haul trash until they've paid off their debt. That's the way the system works.
Go ahead, vote for the other guy in the next election. Your vote does not count. And in any case, the other guy will do the same thing. In the meantime enjoy the new, strict, industry-friendly laws that we will pass.
However, what really happens is: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then they sue you into the gutter, then you lose everything, then you die on the streets while they make a potful of money while your bloated corpse is buried in Potter's field".
Which is more or less the corporate version of "beat you up and shit on your face".
Another clueless loserboy nerd. It's not about the altitude, it's about SPEED. Getting the craft 40k up is NOTHING compared to getting it moving to orbital velocity. You know nothing about space travel. Digital computers? What the fuck have digital computers to do with delta-V? Can your crappy dual-core PC lift stuff into LEO besides allowing you to play pathetic games and watch scat kiddie porn? Gemini had a digital computer. Apollo had a digital computer. Check it out, imbecile. Drop away useful stuff? Useful for what? The Saturn V third stage could be reused because it was mostly a pressure vessel. What the fuck would you do with a first stage, all engines and tanks and plumbing? Your mindless drivel is the reason one should never turn to the idiotic slashdot masturbating-kids crowd for any topic. They know nothing./me shits on your face.
Loserboy nerd, you know nothing about space technology. The specialized tooling for the manufacturing of Saturns and Apollo spacecraft has long since been destroyed. The engineers who possessed the know-how to operate and integrate their systems are either retired or dead. Materials have changed, technology has changed. We would have to relearn to build them from scratch AND relearn to operate them. Moreover, Apollo is OK to take a stroll around the Moon and not much more. LOR is a highly inefficient way to operate a Moon mission. You have no idea what you're talking about.
Having the USAF cooperate more with NASA is only a good thing. Obama is demonstrating himself to be an uber-jock, he's beating you nerds up and shitting on your faces and you're demanding more beatings and more shittings.
