What I think everyone is forgetting is the NAME of the game.... TEAM fortress each character has give and take and most of the time a balanced team that communicates will always win even if they aren't as skilled... you can hone your own skills but to really win matches you need to learn how to...

I got a nasty spider bite sometime during the night... my arm is all swollen and itchy.... does that count as bad luck?

So you think that high quality stuff should be free? I have always though the min requirements were easy to read.... these days they even list every video card the game works with. I also agree with codgo... crysis is stupid... nasty requirements and no real gameplay... what the hell... I...

Yeah I see both sides of the argument for one or the other, but neither are dead or dying... a mouse will always be better for fps or rts.... im sorry but its true and i doubt anyone who's used a controller and a mouse for the same game would disagree. I'm a PC gamer simply because I prefer the...

I use the song from the end of portal or the one from the gears of war commercial. It makes me sing Aperture Science as I walk down the hall everyday.

I've played eve for about two months then had to stop due to those nasty things called classes... but as long as you go through the tutorial people in game are very helpful... I was in a small corp (basically guild with a lot more details) and we had a few guys who had been playing years with...

You guys comparing the complaints of turn based to those of real time aren't considering that the real time games just aren't that good when you are comparing... now I understand wanting to sit and contemplate your moves and I do as well occasionally, but seriously.... thinking is never as...

Yeah I'll call BS on that one.

I knew if I tried I could find a chemist to piss off.... lol GO CHEM E's!!!

I don't see anywhere in my post that says glass is a polymer.... and as I mentioned before I have two masters degrees on polymers... I've done 5 years worth of research on phase transitions in polymers... so I kinda know this stuff. The reason why it mentions that in wikipedia is because...

A platypus is the only mammal that has venom... (the males have spurs on their back legs) It is also one of only 2 egg laying mammals. The opossum is the only marsupial outside of Australia. Cats male genitalia have spines... hence the noise cats make when... making babies... (gotta love...

Thats actually the most applicable to glass you can get except for specialists. Polymer physicists know more about this than anyone else, but again... what is that second word...physics.... hmmmm... And if you really look into it.... phase transitions are thermodynamic properties... thermo is a...

In that case your definition of a liquid need to be called up. By the grade school definition anything that maitains its volume and flows into the shape of its container is a liquid. Just because we don't live long enough to see it doesn't mean its not flowing.

I'm sorry but chemists are not experts on the states of matter by any definition. Physicists are.... and I happen to be well trained in both... chemical engineering bachelors and a masters in polymer science and one in polymer engineering. Glass is a liquid.

Glass is in a liquid state though... thats why the old panes are wavy... thickness is due to the manufacturing. Most plastics are liquids too... thats why they don't work for structural supports as they eventually flow under stress and then the building falls over. (go polymer engineering grad...
