Actually, I tend to find the opposite is true. I don't know an intelligent person I admire who doesn't swear. Being against it seems to me like a flimsy attempt at trying to get a false sense of superiority over other people, usually made by people who aren't actually that bright themselves, for...

There's no such thing as "the end" of a black hole. Might as well ask what does yellow smell like. This is the correct answer. Although as a side note, light doesn't actually bend its course at a black hole due to the gravity force by itself (because that would imply angular velocity...

Well yes, of course it does take quite a while to understand every last bit of the language thoroughly. But that's why you start with C, which is far easier to grasp. The point isn't really to become a complete C++ guru, but to understand what's going on behind the scenes when you program...

1. Get Visual Studio Express, it's free, has tons of useful features and you'll have to get used to similar types of IDEs eventually if you ever go into it professionally. It's normally the standard compiler for most uses, any decent C/C++ programmer should be familiar with it. 2. Start with...

Of course I do. I have no choice.

Work on figuring out some obscure details of the innards of GBC assembly, start writing a C++ heap allocator, go out to eat, meet with friends in the afternoon, come home and play Beatmania and/or Battleforge.

I believe I've found your problem, Captain. I grew up watching DBZ, always loved it. When I came to the US I wondered why so many people here hated it so much. Then one day I saw an english dubbed episode and it instantly made sense. Watch with the original voice overs, subtitled in...

DJ Plaeskool - Wajaom Wildin' (Jeweled Boughs Remix) http://djplaeskool.com/music/cyrillic/DJplaeskool-WC08-WajaomWildin.mp3

Crobat, Tentacruel, Gengar. Unless you meant pure poison types, in which case yeah they suck. Typewise, let's see... Favorite: Bug/Steel. 9 resistances, one immunity and only one weakness. The only downside is it's a double weakness, so you have to be a little careful playing it. Lest...

I've never really understood where all the uneasiness and fear about people's bodies comes from. It's childish (actually, if you asked me, I'd say it comes mostly from tradition, which in turn is mostly from religion, but of course you didn't ask, so I won't say anything).

Too hard to pick just one. If I have to keep it short, Nozomu Itoshiki from Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei; Ginko from Mushishi; Light Yagami from Death Note; Gangryong from Veritas and... Yuno from Mirai Nikki, because everyone loves 14 year old female psychopaths.

Well, now you're on to something. I agree on both points, but only in theory. In theory, having save points placed at the wrong places (or not having enough in general) is a major design flaw and unnecessarily large travel time is a pretty big problem. However, there usually are save points at a...

The biggest reason Final Fantasy 7 received so much praise when it came out was that it was the first real contact western gamers had with the series and that type of game in general. It wasn't really known too well around here by the large majority of gamers, and it was completely different...

Much like Yahtzee and Halo 3, I just feel like I must be missing something whenever I play this game. Obviously a lot of people like it, so there must be something in there - but I really can't figure out what it is. I mean, yeah, the art is definitely something to look at, but art alone can...

1. Xenogears - Without a shadow of a doubt, goes on top of my list. The sheer amount of detail and complexity in that storyline is just something that I have yet to see matched in any RPG game, including (and I shudder to say this, being a fan) the Final Fantasy games. It's a shame they never...
