Good god... Hello, Escapists.Guess I'll have to put my lurking on hold for this... I may be the one voice of dissent, here, but, as a Mexican, and as Sonoran, to boot, I found this article fairly perplexing. Poorly researched and poorly reasoned, not to mention it failed at properly...

"Landing the first humans on Mars should be everyone's mission and not just the mission of one country or organization," Bas Lansdorp, Mars One's co-founder and CEO, said in a press release. "Our 2018 mission will change the way people view space exploration as they will have the opportunity to...

So long as it isn't exploitative I don't really care. Now, WTF is exploitative supposed to mean? Well, that depends. Maybe I'm old, but anything that looks like the character designer is trying trying too hard to ellicit a sexual reaction out of me, qualifies. Mind you, not all exploitations...

So, basically, Valve said they'd do something and then...they didn't do it. Ok, that's not good. But the world keeps spinning. Why is it that Episode 3 is such a big deal? Valve has done great in other areas and, let's be real, it's just a fucking video game. The whole thing boils down...

There's a sexuality tendency spectrum with 100% heterosexual on one end and 100% homosexual on the other, most likely. Where individuals end up getting placed at depends on their natural biological inclination and the effects of the society they happen to exist in. I really don't think it is...

Exactly. In the end it all comes down to price. If it makes some kind of sense then people will buy it -- some are forgetting that the whole point of the console is to make it hackeable in terms of hardware, also, so they may as well sell freaking update modules to the thing, or maybe third...

The emulators alone are worth the price of admission. It is a massive selling point for people interested in all kinds of old software, for whatever reason, not just restricted to console emulators.

This...is actually not so bad, in theory. I mean, what exactly are we expecting from them? If, like in the cellphone, every year they are adding stuff up on top of other stuff I could see the system ending up quite elaborate by the time the next generation of home systems is in its last legs...

the iron sights is the bullshit maneuver where you get an obstructed zoomed view. And, that, is supposed to help you aim. It slows you the fuck down, also. It became the norm because it emulates actual aming, somewhat. But it ain't even realistic, to boot. In fact, there are no realistic...

Have you seen the options menu, already? I mean, Reach had mad customization in the game--not sure if there was one for disabling the primitive loadouts (not much of an online player so I didn't look for it), but it could be conceivable that 343 were to be interested in allowing the "Arena"...

Depends on what you mean by 'numbers'. Do you mean making calculations?

Just stick to it. Worked out for me and am doing my masters in Physics of Materials (I studied Physics in uni), now, so...if I can, you surely can. Just that, and keep in mind that there is no way around doing the work yourself, in the end.

I understand the whole "Aaaargh! Fuck this shit!" mentality but, again, nobody is talking about repossessing anything so let's not dwell on that 'cause even I admit that people may want to own automatic weapons. Also, to you, what I say is idealism b/c you have never seen it happen and all...

We're barely getting started and you are already putting words in my mouth? *groan* Look, nobody is talking about repossession? What kind of nutbag would even come up with that argument when talking about the country with the most guns per capita on planet Earth? Certainly not me, so calm...

Who's talking about having criminals follow gun laws? Gun control is to restrict gun access via logical checks. It would also have the effect of minimizing the effects of potential madmen from carrying out high intensity insane acts. At least in that way, a potential nut would have to work way...
