    Morrigan from Dragon Age Controls Water in the Flesh

    Used Photoshop for everything else though. It's amazing how unnatural these pictures look, more like CGI than actual photographs.

    From Dust Always-On DRM Rumors Denied - UPDATED

    *Applause* Another World is a magnificent game and everyone should play it. It's been released for a million and one platforms, so everyone should be able to find a way.

    Your (Fat) Princess is In Another Castle

    The age of consent where I live is 16. In most of the rest of Europe, it's 15 or even 14. And yet "we all know" that a 20 year old boy having a relationship with a 17 year old girl is wrong? Please speak for yourself! Your standards are not inherently THE standards. I'd be more worried...

    303: Glitching the Tank

    I can't imagine playing a game for a month and still sucking at it.

    How to Read Movie Criticism

    On the contrary, Metacritic is the solution to this problem. It's well known in statistics that taking an average of a ton of samples gives a result that is far more accurate than any individual sample is likely to be. If 25 people measure my height, each with an accuracy of 5 centimeters, then...

    Transformers 2 Writers Explain Why it Sucked

    I can't remember the robots having a skin color.

    I think i just conclusively proved fate or a soul exists - just for fun discussion

    What is the difference between something that does not exist, and something that is impossible to detect even in principle? If (because of the uncertainty principle) there is fundamentally no way to predict exactly what will happen, then events aren't predetermined. You could imagine events...

    Poll: do you use a spell check before posting?

    I rarely make spelling errors that I don't notice, and in an informal setting like these forums, a few spelling errors every few hundred words isn't so bad. Now if there were any software for checking grammar, that might be something I would be interested in ...

    Garry's Mod Pirates Get Stung

    Who cares, it's just a cent. I find that a lot easier to understand than pirating something you'd normally pay $10 for.

    Garry's Mod Pirates Get Stung

    You seem to imply that pirating a 1 cent game is worse than pirating a 10 dollar game. I'm not sure how that would work. Pirating a 1 cent game only cheats the developer out of a single cent. That's a tiny moral burden, that might be easily outweighed by a bit of extra convenience like not...

    I just finished watching Scott Pilgrim

    It's not a manga, it's not Japanese.

    Poll: LOL and OMG are now words?

    Yes you can, I do so all the time. 'Lol' has been a word for a long time now ... I haven't seen it used as an abbreviation for 'laughing out loud' for years. Omg, on the other hand, isn't even an acronym. I suppose you could pronounce it ohm-g or something, but I've never actually heard...

    Physicist Definitively Rules Time Travel Impossible

    Considering only special relativity, time travel was already known to be impossible. Since this man's reasoning is all in terms of special relativity, I don't see what he thinks to have added to the discussion. As far as I can see, he just used his metamaterial as an illustration (a simulation...

    Elderly Woman Pokes Cable, Cuts Internet Access in Three Countries

    You grossly underestimate the bandwidth of a fibre optic cable connection. There are only like a dozen cables between Europe and North America, each a few centimeters thick. There is absolutely no reason why a single cable thin enough to cut with a spade couldn't supply three million connections.

    Police pepper spray 8 year old

    The kid apparently has no conscience and is extremely violent, but I can't imagine that a few adults wouldn't be able to overpower him. What the hell were those teachers doing?
