I remember that game. I loved it. It was a fairly more hardcore game, that much is true, but what separates it from more modern 'hardcore' games is the slavish devotion to realism, which, as Yahtzee explained way back in his Console Rundown, is a dead-end road for two reasons: 1) consoles can...

You're lucky you're jealous. It gives you something to shoot for. -- Neku Sakuraba, The World Ends With You

Yet another idiot falls to the old fallacy of less guns = less crime... More on-topic, though, this effect is hardly isolated to guns and Call Of Duty.

I know it's been said a few dozen times already, but you cannot equate 0/n = 0 to 0/0 = n. Here's what happens if you try to solve for n, using first your example where n = 2: Initial problem: 1/n = 0.5 Multiply both sides by n: (1/n) * n = 0.5 * n Simplify: 1 = 0.5 * n Divide both...

Luxray. Made even scarier by the fact I wouldn't be sure whether to pet it or run.

I'm a fan of gold, myself, and iron, but... oh. Wrong thread. Sorry! As someone else said, it has its gems.

I'm glad you included the word 'likely', because if I was told that it was wrong to discuss why printing money excessively is a recipe for economic disaster, I'd have to stab someone with a rusty nail. IOW: sometimes the comparison is justified. Usually it isn't though :D

A Tron disc. I never could kill the Recognizer.

"The characters who are supposedly there to move the plot along, called 'government'"? There's your problem. Wait for someone else to change the world and you'll be waiting a looooong time.

Fly Like An Eagle and practically any song like it that commands humanitarianism. No, not because I'm anti-humanitarian, but because so many of them remind me of notalwaysright.com in their ignorance, belligerence, and the fact they get paid better than football players to do it, in their...

This is a textbook example of the modern loaded question, pardon the pun. But I'll answer it with another: I can't find any logic in restricting arms to a minority of the population (criminals, law enforcement, and military personnel) by denying it to the rest. And, finally, I can't find...

It may be due to the fact I am a massive optimist and look at things in comparison to their obtainable alternatives, i.e. 'if you think the glass is half-empty, kindly die of thirst', but I love my job. Shining example of the above. Don't enjoy existing? Nothing's keeping you from changing that.

It's a toss-up between: Dark Forces, mucking around with claymores and dropping them repeatedly at my feet with the motion sensor on. First one explodes, I launch up, fall down, hit the ground just before the second blows. Fly high enough into the air that the fall damage is fatal...

The first several digits of pi. I wish I was kidding.

I would kill Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Arlen Specter, George Soros, and anyone on the planet who thinks Obama's doing a good job of being President and has no idea who these people are.
