    Poll: Does 0.999.. equal 1 ?

    Sad that, despite several proofs posted and a link to the wiki, which contains several more proofs, still more than half of the 300+ voters have said that 0.(9) is NOT equal to 1.0 1/9 = 0.111111... 9 * 1/9 = 9 * 0.111111... = 0.999999... 1 = 0.999999...

    Poll: Video Game Induced Motion Sickness

    I've never really had trouble with this, but my roommate was always really disturbed by Mirror's Edge, to the point where he had to leave the room while I was playing it; not only watching me, but the sound of falling, made him feel sick.

    What was the longest boss fight you ever had?

    A friend of mine was playing FF6. In the final fight with Kefka, phase 3 (the one where there's 2 enemies, one of which casts life 3 and heal spells...) the only one of her characters left alive was Gau on Magic Pot rage. (the one where he uses Cure 3 on self, and is essentially immune to...

    Most dreaded sounds in gaming.

    "There you are." -The cutest, deadliest turret ever, from portal "Nu-nu-nuclear launch detected." -starcraft or starcraft 2, right before you lose your base.

    Non Final Bosses That Destroyed You

    I never had trouble with this, but none of my friends can handle the brain tank in Psychonauts, just after getting levitation. I bring it up because I've recently watched 2 different people play through it, and they both had a lot of trouble at that one spot. The second phase, where its just...

    If evil had a name..

    Evil's name: I'm bad at naming things, but I'm gonna go with "landlords" My favorite Evil character: Jafar, from Aladdin. Proof that someone with the title "Grand Vizier" is always ALWAYS evil.

    Discworld

    I'm a fan of Going Postal and Making Money, but they're all pretty good. Also, anything with Vimes or Rincewind in it. My only complaint is that, when I start reading a discworld novel, I don't sleep that night, and then I don't have anything to read any more.

    Best concert ever

    I almost went to go see that concert, but I didn't want to go alone, and my friend who introduced me to Metalocalypse couldn't go. :( Probably would have been the best concert ever though. OT, my favorite concert I've actually been to was TSO. They have been doing concerts in my area...

    Games that you quote

    "A miserable pile of secrets," is, among my friends, the answer to every question beginning with "What is..." EDIT: also, "I like _____. They're comfy and easy to wear."

    The most useless button in a game.

    "The New Tetris," which was very much the same as the old tetris, used the D-pad.

    Angry for No Reason

    I have a co-worker, a middle aged woman, who does this all the time. I work in retail. Yesterday, we were changing the setup of most of the store, because of orders from above, which happens fairly often for no readily apparent reason. Whenever this co-worker couldn't find something she was...

    Parents accused of sexual abuse for taking pictures of their kids

    I may be in the minority here, but... I'm not convinced the Wal Mart employee did anything wrong. Wal Mart has rules, presumably strict ones, about the kinds of photos that may be developed there. The employee, developing these photos, saw "portion or outline or genitalia." (sic) Presumably...

    Is handheld gaming dying

    Personally... I have an XBox 360 and a Wii, as well as a PS2 (who doesn't own a PS2?). When I'm at home, I play them all, and I enjoy it. However, I'm at school right now, and in a tiny dorm room. There's no room for a TV, even a small one, and console gaming systems. Enter the handhelds...

    Fox News Good Reporting?????

    for informative news, you should watch PBS: Public Broadcasting Station. My family switched to PBS after the first solid week of non-stop Michael Jackson coverage, wanting to know what was actually happening in, say, Afghanistan. It's amazing; completely different coverage from what you get on...
