    Still loved Knights of the Old Republic 2. Easily more than the first, for sure. Woulda been nicer if they had time to finish though, I agree on that.

    What games that were bad that you saw potential in?

    I'm gonna say Mass Effect 2 only for the mining. The game is so wonderful... but the mining is so obviously terrible. How do you have a product so awesome but with this incredibly glaring flaw? haha

    Is it good to never play WoW?

    Meh, I wouldn't. There's other games that can give more fun per hour spent and in any online game you can find a buncha cool people to hang with.

    Warhammer 40k MMOG Prepped For E3 Reveal

    I'd play if I got to play Eldar. "What do you know of war?" Imperial Guard would be cool too. Drivin around a Baneblade would be pretty sweet. "We'll make the Emperor proud."

    Question of the Day, May 2, 2010

    What can change the nature of a man? And while Portal's one of my favourite all time games, I'd say that it seems more a product of thorough iterative testing than one of creativity. Jade Empire was rather cool too but not quite Torment level (those were only two games in the list I played...

    What Exactly Is Wrong With World Of Warcraft?

    I should disclose that, though I have a character of every class in Guild Wars, I mostly played a healing or support role, so that's usually a pretty reactive thing (especially in PvP). In World of Warcraft I played a retribution paladin and had plans to at least dual-spec into holy but it's...

    Transferring information faster than light?

    That interpretation has trouble (I think that's the one they call the Copenhagen interpretation) because the whole "observing" thing is pretty weird. Not only does it raise weird questions about what is an observer (if you observe something, is it still in a superposition until I observe it...

    Transferring information faster than light?

    Don't really have to dig, Wiki's got the formula http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle (uncertainty in the position) x (uncertainy in momentum) >= Planck's constant / 4pi Because Planck's constant is very small, you have to get to very small lengths for this to crop up...

    Transferring information faster than light?

    I don't know how well I can answer this but I'll give it a shot. In a classical string, the speed of the wave pulse is proportional to the square of the tension (if I recall correctly) ie. if you quadruple the tension, you double the velocity. So yes, there is a relation between how much you...
