Well, you got close to the target, anyway. The question is not self-contradictory, but it is self-defeating. Free Will and Determinism are things that can only be evaluated by an outside observer who can access all the twiddly knobs and bearings in the system that govern what will come out of...

Sigh..... No. Just....just no, man. The jobs wouldn't exist if we established all sorts of tariffs and trade barriers either. That's what you need to understand here. Theoretically speaking, all that a tariff does is set a floor price for the goods being produced. Let's take steel, since...

Sigh....you know, every time this question comes up, everybody seems to catastrophically miss the point. The issue being investigated here is whether events not significant to the universe at large are significant at all if they are not perceived, or if they can even be considered events, and...

Good to see this argument again. At least it's phrased properly this time. First off, the definition listed is a pretty poor fit for the discussion, since it's not really an authoritative source when it comes to rt (Meriam Webster, feh) and most of those listed definitions have little or...

Soooo....to summarize and eliminate several paragraphs of text, Zero Punctuation is entertaining and interesting, but somewhat hyperbolic in its criticisms and probably not used as a sole source of data for the actual contents of a game. I'm not sure if you intend to write for a living or not...

Ehhhhhhh......not so much, no. JRPGs can only be considered to make an artistic expression if that expression is one of three pretty well universal themes among the genre and the statement is made entirely in a lost Egyptian dialect and then translated to English by a Puritan prude. In short...

Go right ahead. I'm glad to inspire the younger generation. Especially when I'm right. Hyperbole aside, I could play this game with my feet and feel like I had just about as much control of my character as I do with my hands. The problem with putting eight billion different characters in a...

Unfortunately, you're both very much wrong. Yahtzee makes a number of good, relevant points in his review that I have to say I totally agree with, as another would be reviewer of games being forced by powers beyond his control to play through the horrible thing when he'd rather be out catching...

Too bad nobody seems to have any of the REALLY gay footage from the early cuts of the game and the preview builds. I'm led to believe it was even more homoerotic around the time I first heard about it. Something about one guy basically humping the other's face when receiving a boost. That's...

Understand please that it is only by way of a supreme act of willpower that I have not already started hurling unkind statements about other individuals mothers right now. This question is as old as it is uninformed, and a simple reading of classical Greek philosophy will educate you as to why...

Gehh...it kind of doesn't have much to do with Objectivism, except in the most cartoonish sense of the term. The aesthetic is very much in-line with Atlas Shrugged, but any moral that I've perceived so far has been that the idea in general was not-so-great. All the same, figured it would be a...

Ummm.....you might not want to play this game, then. I've known my fair share of Objectivists - having been a cult member myself for a while back in my younger, more impressionable days - and you might not like exactly what the...errr...outcome of all that free will and whatnot are shown as in...
