This one is still going strong.

Different fun and viable builds.

There's been a few notions on religion here, so I'd like to add. Mainly on confronting death, we remember that Jesus faced great fear in Getsemane. And in doing so took upon himself what some must go through. So even when the anxiety hits you, and you sit alone in your darkest hour, you are...

There's of course the new so-bad-it's-now-cult movie: Sharknado. Yes, that's a tornado full of deadly sharks that attack a small town. Then there's another classic: Snakes on a plane. It also became a fast classic as people didn't think it could get dumber than that (it did with...

Just shut up and pay for the game maybe? You do understand it's a business right. You're acting as if you deserve the premium treatment when you are just a guest. You play the demo, hey, you can unlock and get more. It's really just for kids who haven't got a creditcard and like to do stuff...

The cheapest from Digital Storm is 700$, but it's better put together than the Newegg ones, and with better components. http://www.digitalstormonline.com/vanquish.asp

The usefull adaptations are exactly not easier paths to go down. Like wings from no wings. Feathers to fly with. New stuff. And you are also implying, that if an animal is in the million year long process of changing in one aspect, it is set and static in another. That the brain don't change...

Trying to say that intelligence doesn't increase chances of survival is just plain openly wrong in my view. And the smart guy would be the one who min/maxes the chances of coming face to face with the tiger. And the dumb guy would be eaten. I agree that Homo Sapien brain is complex and have...

First of, Homo Sapiens and Neanderthals are the same genus, their precursor was homo erectus IIRC. So it's the same one intelligence we are dealing with. Secondly, if Homo Sapiens murdered Neanderthals, how? Neanderthals were bigger and stronger, but Homo Sapiens was smarter. And so won...

Now I'm not going to jump on his wagon. But even though this theory seems to be the most crazy of them all, it does touch upon a big question. Which is, if life has existed for so many millions of years, why did intelligence as we know it, only show up in homo sapiens after such a long time...

Sikorsky are just about finished building the S-97. Which may or may not be the helicopter to replace the American Apache attack helicopters. Unlike the F-35 jet, this is a real job well done. http://www.janes.com/article/27592/sikorsky-starts-s-97-raider-final-assembly...

Because you turn 30 or 40 and somewhere in between you realise you are going to die, and you are going to die pretty soon. From there it's an uphill battle, where something like stop smoking, can seem as an act of denial to you. You are like the winds blow. Edit: I need some music now...

Everyone who says something about Lords of Waterdeep says it's good. It does include making parties to explore, but it's not dungeon crawls, just parties you need to assemble as a Waterdeep Lord to reap the benefits. It's a strategic struggle for the power of the city. It has an expansion...

I never played the total war series all that much. At the beginning I just thought it felt bad with the realism, enjoying the death of 1000s of soldiers. Too close to home I guess. But I love RTS, and come to think of it, aren't theyt all about attacking a town and burning it down and killing...
