    Most Bizarre Errors You Constantly See

    Well, according to my AP English teacher, in journalism you're not expected to put a comma before the and in a list because during World War II it was supposed to save lead for bullets. However, outside of journalism, you are expected to have a comma before the "and." You're also never...

    The Stanley Parable is... is... wow...

    The mod seems to me to be a metagame. One playthrough isn't much more than a short video. Taking all the various options and decisions that you can make after replaying it is where the game differentiates it from video and begins to be a game.

    Poll: Transhumanism: How Far Would You Take It?

    For myself? Or as a society? (Is this the same thing?) Myself, I would love myself an option 4 body. My central nervous system is kinda important to me, particularly my brain. If there're augmentations that go in my brainstem to do things like increase reflexes or process certain information...

    Would you live in a virtualised world

    Not quite good enough of a deal. If I didn't have to work at things I didn't want to work about (and I had to work IRL) then no, I wouldn't do it. If everything were virtualized down to the people, It would be a lonely place, since the world would probably die with you. A world where my actions...

    Game Franchises you want to be given the "Open World Sandbox" Treatment

    Portal. Give me a city filled with puzzles, random goals, and the opportunity to fly like a bird with a portal gun. If done right, countless hours of fun would be just from flying around. More if there're Cave Johnson quotes to collect. Mirror's Edge would similarly awesome.

    If someone from the 1950s suddenly appeared today, what would be the most difficult thing to explain

    The current state of technology. "Did you get to mars yet?" "Umm, no." "Do you have a moon base?" "No." "What about flying cars?" "Nope" "sattelites?" "Amazingly, yes. We have lots of those." "What about space stations?" Kinda. . . But they're really really expensive and we don't have that...

    Will there ever be another World War?

    Will it? Yes, eventually we're going to have enough stupidity (or genious) in one place that it's inevitable. When? That's a different story. It might be tomorrow, there are certainly slights that some countries can do that would set the US into a murder frenzy today. It might happen a decade...

    Question about school curriculums

    In the US, it seems that maths stops being compulsory right when it starts to become interesting. Trigonometry is the first class that I realized "holy shit, I can actually use this!" I was so glad that I started on that path. (though admittedly I was also taking trig-based physics at the same...

    Poll: To kill or not to kill...

    Unless i'm trying to be a bastard, I tend to avoid killing anyone. Though since I have a thing against reloading unless it's necessary, I will indeed fight to the death when I have to. Though even then i'll try to get the nonlethal takedowns if i'm in a position to. If i'm trying to be a...

    Microsoft Corporate VP Says Xbox One Can Reshape Marketing

    Am I the only one here who likes having advertisements that are targeted to me? If I'm going to see an ad, I don't want to see one about christian singles, (unless it's in a hilariously unchristian page) I would much rather have an ad about something that I care about. When something I care...

    Things you do that other people think are weird.

    I tend to talk to myself when I don't think that anyone's listening, then instantly stop when someone I think might listen to me (including friends) shows up, though i'm just fine muttering around crowded hallways as long as I don't know anyone in there. I can maintain an actual conversation...

    Poll: Avatar Discrimination

    I haven't discriminated against someone's avatar, but I have discriminated for avatars. If an avatar is particularly awesome or interesting, then I think that It lends more weight to their argument. The only thing I do discriminate against is someone using the same or a virtually identical...

    Should games stop trying to have better graphics?

    I think that yes, developers need to stop putting more and more time, effort and money into graphics, and more into great stories, gameplay and style. Toolmakers on the other hand, the people who make the programs that developers use to make games should be straining in all directions. Games...

    Yeah so... Someone made a bear trap for the vagina (Anti-Rape Device)

    I'm pretty sure that something like Snow Crash's dentata would work better. Instead of it just biting at their dick, it just poisons them with some drug that knocks them out. Judging by the amount of blood in an erect penis, I'm pretty sure that it'd be pretty effective pretty fast. And there...

    Blatant Lies

    I have an urge to eat brownies, because they are the most disgusting thing ever created.
