    Assassins Kill BioShock Renaissance Edition

    I don't see how this is news. If a game doesn't have lots of stuff cut from it, I'd be worried.

    Does Online Multiplayer Always Make Sense?

    The mistake a lot of non-fighting-game-players make is thinking the games are about reaction, when they're about prediction. Scissor-paper-rock with unequal pay-offs. That makes an interesting game. Though, yes, lag renders it kinda moot if it's even noticeable. Also: "How long before some...

    Oh my god, McKown! You just discovered autism! Aren't you clever!

    Poll: A women has two kids, one is a boy, what are the odds the other is also a boy?

    Question phrased implies first boy is already born. Next child is the only unknown. Chance = whatever chance it is that any individual is male or female. This is like when you flip a coin 10 times. Which is more likely? HTTHTTHHHT HHHHHHHHHH Equal chance, as no throw has any relation to...

    On Dialogue Menus

    Play 'Trust and Betrayal: The Legacy of Siboot'. Best conversation system ever. Inverse parser. The guy is now making 'Storytron' which is like that but even better. Yes, I know 'better than best' makes no sense, but I like being excited.

    Whats the difference between an Atheist and an Agnostic?

    Removed? That's not really a great idea. Even if it turns out that there is/are no god/gods, things like going to church and similar activities in other religions are great stress relievers that have been linked to longer life. Long life is good. Therefore (while very little is ever proven) it...

    Is that even a compliment...?

    Any guy who gets mistaken for a girl needs to grow a moustache. Although that leads to another odd compliment. "You remind me of the 70s". Great...

    Improving the JRPG for the Next Generation.

    "that's just how it is. The truth hurts." This, 'truth' doesn't really hurt me. I like the weirdness in Jap games (especially MGS). I blame American movies for that. Boring and predictable as all hell. Also, "...the massive difficulty rebalancing that occurs to increase the challenge offered...

    Music is subjective....or is it?

    What I meant was that if it *doesn't* follow a pattern, then it sounds off. Like when someone is out of tune with everyone else or is playing some notes just a little too late. They try to follow the pattern (and any pattern can make a song, as long as it can be perceived (not necessarily...

    Music is subjective....or is it?

    I'd have to say both equally, yet also completely objective. Music is mathematical in that there are patterns in it. All music is like this, otherwise... well, it isn't music. Thus, any music that poorly puts patterns together (pitch, size, volume or location being off) or that has patterns that...
