    Poll: Gender recognition offence

    I'm sure that there's nothing to be learned from you at least.

    Why is middle school such an under-used setting?

    Because middle-schoolers are hormonal, obnoxious, stupid, grub-stage humans.

    Poll: Gender recognition offence

    You're going to learn a hard lesson that shutting people up doesn't shut them down. But hey, you're a young nation, you've got a lot to learn.

    Should you need to read the books in order to understand a game's lore/characters?

    It depends on the game, and to what extent it's up front about that aspect of it. The Witcher 3 for instance, was probably a lot better for those of us who read at least the first couple of books.

    Just Cause 3... How The Hell?!

    How did this game get such stellar reviews from so many? I suppose I don't really need to ask $$$$$. Still, it's depressing when a game that loads like something from 1999, crashes at the drop of a hat, chugs high end PC's and drops to single-digit framerates on consoles gets high marks. I...

    Poll: Would you have sympathy for these guys?

    I expected something thought provoking, all I'm getting is someone who doesn't understand what "wrong choices" actually are.

    Poll: Gender recognition offence

    I think the implication with people who think like Lictor appears to, would be that the country provides for those who are white and pure. Or some variation on that. There isn't usually much more to such thinking.

    Germany Just Activated the Largest Ever Fusion Reactor and We're All Still Alive

    Yes, as compared to a hybrid device using a fission reaction to breed tritium from Lithium, and fuse the results with a deuterium in the physics package. A pure fusion device, meaning one that initiates fusion of (presumably) hydrogen without a fissile stage. In essence it would be a reactor...

    Why do people take Spielberg's comments on the direction of entertainment seriously?

    Since you're a chef and not an English major, I can forgive you confusing your expertise I guess. You're not an expert in taste, you're a food preparation expert and kitchen leader. If you were a respected authority on food, not just the preparation of food you might at least be comparing the...

    So....which other Gaming Forum have more traffic than Escapist?

    All of them have been listed here, but it's not a hard task after all. This is not an active forum at all, both in terms of user activity and new content on the site. Most popular games have more active dedicated forums, and you have to work pretty hard to find a site that still moderates like a...

    Why do people take Spielberg's comments on the direction of entertainment seriously?

    I'll repeat myself for a third time sure. If you're not an authority in a given field, and you bring nothing else to the table, you have no standing when you randomly nitpick an existing authority in that field. Didn't realize this was rocket science. "He got lucky" And then he got...

    Germany Just Activated the Largest Ever Fusion Reactor and We're All Still Alive

    That's not really true you know? Catastrophic confinement failure of a full scale reactor would be devastating, and radioactive. It would blow apart the machine, including the breeding blanket and all of its tritium, all of the intermediate radioactive elements... it would be awful. Remember...

    Why do people take Spielberg's comments on the direction of entertainment seriously?

    How generous of you to grant that he can, "Make some damn good movies..." I do at least appreciate that where Zontar was going on for paragraphs, you're keeping your attempt to nitpick someone's expertise in their expert field, from your position of anonymous laity to something mercifully brief...

    Poll: Gender recognition offence

    Everyone suffers from a lack of precision and scientific rigor. The fact is that a real study of anything to do with women has traditionally gone by the wayside, to the extreme of only testing pharmaceutical and medical models on males. There is resistance to including women, and always has...

    Why do people take Spielberg's comments on the direction of entertainment seriously?

    Yes it is. Your arguments, backed by nothing, but your own lack of authority, attempt to undermine someone else's very narrow established authority. The fact is that your question, "Why do people take Spielberg's comments on the direction of entertainment seriously?" has been thoroughly...
