I've been training in taekwondo for 11 years now, so I like to think so. lol.

Well... that sure was a depressing way to kill my PHP class this morning. :(

I just fell across this on Reddit. http://www52.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=Can+you+pass+the+Turing+test%3F

There's another one or two Wolfram threads out there, but I want a thread dedicated just to some of the interesting or funny things that you have found by using it. For those of you who don't know what it is, here's some text stolen from Wikipedia: Wolfram|Alpha is an answer engine developed...

I know there's a few 'favourite alcohol' threads hovering around, but none directed at what people like to get wasted with while gaming. I would've made this a poll thread, but the simple fact is there's too many mixes/types of alcohol and no way I could include everybody's favourite. So...

I would have to say the Impact Hammer from Unreal Tournament 3. It's great to weave your way between enemy shells and rockets, get in close and unload a blast of pressure from it. You get the screen-shake effect, the blood spatter and then a rain of body pieces just to finish off the...

Something like this? http://i719.photobucket.com/albums/ww196/The-Carrion/Scout.jpg For myself, I'd have to say a Scout simply because they're fun to play, and I can't mention the game to anyone without them instantly stating that I look like the Scout. I put this down purely to my hat...

And I responded in kind.

Yes, you heard correctly. No, I don't like Halo. No, I'm not special. Yes, I'm aware of the feelings of people here about the series. Something positive? This thread is all about pointing out which games we think aren't as good as people make them out to be. Saying positive things...

I can admit it is functional, and indeed colourful, but even after reading your description and comparing it to my own experiences playing the games it still comes across as little more than Unreal II: The Awakening with a longer, more dragged out plot. I, and I'm sure many others, believe that...
