[quote who="Daiwa" reply="453" id="2481836"]Follow the money, AGW edition. [/quote] these arguments i find to be the dumbest of all. those supposedly in a position to make "billions" from global warming are in the tiniest minority as far as world powers go. its ludicrous to suggest this tiny minority have somehow been able to hijack the debate when those with real power have so much to lose from reforms aimed at minimising global warming. the money supposedly being made is a tiny

Reply to Global warming hoax!?! - UPDATED - in Everything Else Demigod Forums

what i dont quite understand is why the deniers spend all their time attempting to attack the science rather than publishing their own peer-reviewed climate papers showing that the mountains and mountains of evidence are a hoax. it really is like watching creationists in action.

"dumbing down" doesn't necessarily refer to a game being "dumber" for consoles, its a generic term that refers to games having less options or content. games ARE dumbed down for consoles, because they have sh1tty control options and far less power. any cursory experience with recent games shows this (ie no lean in CoD or operation flashpoint). that said, i think supcom is getting "dumbed down" because GPG were confused about the primary reasons for the game (FA at least) not selling w

[quote who="DraekAlmasy" reply="21" id="2480896"]In theory, a denier and a skeptic are two different things. In practice however, a skeptic is nothing more than a denier who puts forward some illogical excuses to avoid admitting the truth. [/quote] this. "sceptics" ARE deniers. the whole point of being a sceptic is that you don't subscribe to an idea without a certain level of evidence with which to support it. well guess what? there is mountains of evidence t

there's plenty of reasons to be worried about the sequel imo, but the lack of big maps/heaps of units wont be one of them ;) [img]http://cache-foo-02.gawkerassets.com/gawker/assets/images/9/2009/11/500x_supreme_commander_2_f.jpg[/img]

Reply to Rated M and AO Games, Will we be seeing more as digital distribution becomes more popular? in PC Gaming Demigod Forums

The australian version of dragon age is the same as everyone else's. just to clear up common misconceptions- australia doesn't ban games. it simply lacks the classification to classify games rated higher than MA15+. therefore anything that is unable to receive an MA15+ rating, is effectively banned. because of the way our federalist system works, an adult classification for games is essentially being prevented by just one minister from one state. he won't be in office forever :)

well, first i wanted to know whether SGU was as awful as SG1, but that's problematic because it seems none of the SG fans like it, so that could mean anything. secondly, a number of ludicrous comments were made about shows like B5 or BSG and i felt the need to correct such errors. im as free to post what i loathe about crappy scifi as you guys are to post what you love about it.

[quote who="Allegiance86" reply="167" id="2438931"]you have your opinion, unfortunately its not that important. [/quote] true, but considering the owners of the SG franchise chose to do something with SGU other than reproduce the childish, dumbed-down extravaganza that constitutes SG1, your opinion doesn't seem like it counted for much either. but dont worry, there will always be plenty of awful & mainstream scifi for you to enjoy.
