    Good Old Reviews: Wing Commander 1 & 2

    These were the first games that I outperformed my dad in as a kid.

    Science is based on faith?

    Evolution can't be proven? All life shows a fundamental unity in the mechanisms of replication, heritability, catalysis, and metabolism. Common descent predicts a nested hierarchy pattern, or groups within groups. We see just such an arrangement in a unique, consistent, well-defined...

    Science is based on faith?

    Why do we keep confusing the word "Trust" for the word "Faith"? I don't have faith that a doctor can tell me how a heart works, I trust his knowledge and experience. I guess English just sucks as a language!

    NRA Likens Videogames to "the Filthiest Form of Pornography"

    Guys! This is actually the best possible outcome for us. Nothing makes us look more sane than the NRA coming out against our medium. Peoples hatred for them could translate into at least indifference to our hobby. They are clearly deflecting and people can see right through the bullshit.

    How Fish Might Have Evolved Hands

    It's a dangerous path someone walks when they are offended by science and reason, or perceive them to be an attack. Also, when a person says theory and means hypothesis, a dictionary weeps somewhere.

    Bad first semester of college grades...

    Hey man, I totally feel you. Been out of school for 10 years. This was my first semester back and it suuuuucked. Totally bombed an accelerated math course. I think if you are going to have a bad one, the first one is best.

    I'm lonely and need some help

    Don't give up, but don't let someone else or the lack thereof weigh too heavily on you. It's safe to say since you're here that you are not 80, and thus have plenty of time left on life. I know there are lots of BDSM communities out there, it may be a good idea to join one, even if it's just to...

    Research Finds Negative Effects in Violent Videogames

    As much as I may dislike the findings, we must go with the best available data we have when forming conclusions. Is this study comprehensive or authoritative? No, but it's data appears to be valid and scientific. As honest intellectual individuals, we must set aside our personal beliefs when...

    Apple Judgment Rocks Samsung's Share Price

    There is nothing factual in this post. Anyone can jailbreak your iPhone, Apple won't actively punish you. But in fan land, facts are a casualty. Does anyone actually REMEMBER 2007? There were Terabytes of articles and comments saying that the iPhone would fail because it didn't have a talk and...

    One Million Moms Fights Gay Superheroes

    I don't think it's possible to convey just how ignorant these people are. I wish there was some way to reach them, but I don't think an intellectual debate with someone like this is really the solution. Let's hope this kind of thinking simply fades in time.

    Let me know when there is an MP3 player market, too.

    Obesity Discrimination

    Fat is a choice, choices have consequences. The consequences are not always justified, but it comes with the choice.

    Judge Recommends Banning Xbox Imports to the US

    Thank you. Someone had to say this. Replace "Motorola" with "Google" and suddenly it puts this in the proper perspective.

    BioWare Austin Cuts Workforce

    A damn shame. I won't say I called this back when the merger/acquisition, but I believe a lot of long time gamers know what usually happens with studios when EA gets ahold of them. RIP Westwood, Command & Conquer RIP Bioware, Dragon Age, Mass Effect, Star Wars. RIP Mythic, DAoC, Warhammer...

    EA Offers Free Origin Distribution For Crowd-Funded Games

    So how is letting EA leech off games they had no part in creating a good thing? I take that back. They helped make them by driving most of the life out of the industry. They still don't deserve these games on that unabashed piece of crapware Origin.
