    Poll: Would you rather be lucky or smart?

    I really wanted to pick smart, but, with a total absence of luck, no matter how smart you are, things just won't go your way. Never take a plane? Get hit by a drunk driver or your car breaks down constantly. Amazing resume? It gets lost in the pile or the email never makes it to them. Take care...

    I am not a Geneticist or Biologist

    We need to make predatory bushes that have Venus Flytraps instead of leaves and that give off the scent that mosquitoes use to track humans. Now, I know mosquitoes use more than scent to find their meals, but with as many as would be on a bush, I imagine enough would end up in the traps...

    So, anti-gravity...

    The reason it would effect the two differently is because with the helicopter, it's still being pulled along with the Earth and everything else effected by its gravity. Meaning all the air around the Earth and helicopter are still being pulled through space at the same speed. That's the reason...

    So, anti-gravity...

    Your image is borked, your argument is invalid! (jk, but I would like to see it) Do you have anything to add or comment on for my later arguments/questions regarding deceleration and wind resistance?

    So, anti-gravity...

    Because a helicopter is not actually nullifying the gravitational pull, just fighting it. The theory behind anti-gravity is that the object would exist outside the force of gravitational pull. The reason something that hovers needs so much power is to lift it's weight against the pull of gravity.

    So, anti-gravity...

    Ok, so because the force of the gravity of the Earth is so comparatively greater than the others it would suddenly face, those other forces would not have a great enough effect. This raises another question, wouldn't the object still be torn apart by these new forces? Particularly wind...

    I saw the last line of your post first, and got halfway through "Toughness" before I realized you weren't being serious. X(

    So, anti-gravity...

    An object in motion stays in motion, etc. Yeah, I didn't take that into account. But, still, wouldn't the sudden wind resistance to it moving purely on its own momentum cause it to slow rapidly as the Earth keeps moving?

    Games that you've lost momentum with (stopped playing)

    Dragon Age: Inquisition. I got to the Winter Palace for the ball and completely lost interest. I already maxed out every character and completed every quest/DLC/secret that are available to that point. I may get a guide and go back again...maybe. I loved and completed the first 2 games multiple...

    So, anti-gravity...

    As far as my understanding goes, the idea behind making a craft with anti-gravity abilities is that it would be completely free from the effects of gravity. Allowing it to simply move or be moved through space under its own power, without pull from a planet or any other mass. Now, the Earth...

    Poll: If Skyrim gets DLC, which province should it go to next?

    I think Bethesda should break from the tradition of other companies and fix the bugs Skyrim already has before they start introducing more content.

    How and when did you discover the Escapist?

    Well, it was sometime before my join date of July 14, 2010. I was googling for gameplay footage of Devil May Cry 4, and found the ZP review episode. All I did on the site for a few months was watch ZP. It wasn't until I saw a forum topic that JUST HAD TO comment on, that I made an account.

    You have the power to bring back one cancelled TV show...

    You must now live off the last food and drink you consumed!

    Mountain Dew...Ok, I pretty much do that anyways. And Organic Mac n Cheese...Crap, that stuff was bland and made me nauseous.
