    Poll: Did you take time off of work/school when your pet died?

    I didn't take a day off in 10th grade when my dad died, much less a pet. Know who sitting around in a house is useful to? No one.

    First Person Platforming

    This nails it. Long story short: if you're having that much trouble placing where your feet are in something like Mirror's Edge then my best guess would be that you never learned how to platform with your real body let alone one in a game.

    Single vs Multiplayer

    Mostly multiplayer gaming; if I'm not crushing someone else, then what's the point? This attitude may change if AIs ever get smart enough to actually compete with people; no challenge = no fun.

    Civ 5: Traitoruous Bastards

    Diplomatic victory isn't bad, you're just not doing it right: merchant wonders -> great merchants, buy off 50%+ city-states = instant UN victory.

    92 year old WWII vet bootlegs 300,000 DVDs and sends them to American soldiers in Afghanastan

    Do any of you ever avoid a thing because of the ads for it?

    Technology, the end of mankind - my theory

    Of course it's all about us, who else would it be about? Fairly certain dolphins haven't started a space exploration program yet... Anywho, the big issue is really supply/demand. When the cost of using solar/ethanol/what-have-you sinks below coal/petrol (which it must, by virtue of eventually...

    Dead Teen Sued for Flying Body Parts

    Seems to be two major camps here: A: This situation is tragic, woman is a (insert 4 letter word) for taking advantage of the family. B: Wow, dumb kid; too bad he didn't get himself killed in a way that didn't hurt anyone else. (Letter of the law agrees with B, being stupid doesn't...

    Study: Don't Use Wi-Fi Near Your Junk

    Why are sperm cells special? Significant DNA damage is going to cause apoptosis in any cell. I'm not likely to believe it just by what they're saying, if 9% of my cells died near a wireless system every 4 hours, there wouldn't be much of me left...
