    Is it really 2017 or should it be 12,017 HE

    Might be useful for the sciences or Academia, but I don't really see the use of adopting such a thing colloquially. Plus, if we find some other, similar structure dating to some earlier point in history, what then?

    Poll: So let's talk about dinosaurs, and Feathers.

    I've heard the same thing. ...though I will agree with feather-haters on one point. Tiny little wings on t-rex make those dainty little arms even more dorky-looking. I don't hate them, per se, and I think if I met one I'd be more concerned with that giant mouth for a head than any sized...

    Poll: So let's talk about dinosaurs, and Feathers.

    I think most of us did. Facetiousness aside, Dakotaraptor, discovered last year, was the largest dromeosauroid (aka, raptors) thus found, and they undeniably had feathers. Keep in mind, by "largest dromeosauroid", I mean these guys stood just over 2 meters (~6ft) tall (a little...

    Poll: So let's talk about dinosaurs, and Feathers.

    I BLOODY FREAKING LOVE FEATHERS!! XDD No, seriously. I love feathered dinosaurs. And for clarity, I didn't just grow up with the original Jurassic Park. I saw it when I was five years old in the theaters. Not just any theater, either; this thing had a screen big enough to fit, perhaps...

    Question, If Anita Sarkeesian is Right, why is Jack Thompson Wrong?

    It is a fair question, and I'm glad it was asked. First of all, however, I've never seen Sarkeesian say or imply that. (Second of all, I haven't read though the rest of the thread; I just found it, and don't feel like reading 300+ posts before sharing my thoughts). Thomson argues for...

    Poll: What do you think of the WiiU now?

    To be fair, the PS3 did kind of the same thing; it took a very long time for it to have any kind of solid library, and even now, I'd only get one (don't have one at this time) to play Journey. 'Course, it didn't take the PS3 NEARLY as long as the WiiU. I love it, sure, but I got it last...

    Poll: What do you think of the WiiU now?

    I already had a WiiU, and frankly love the thing. Mario Maker will definitely be on my to-buy list(though I'm disappointed that it won't also be on the 3DS, even though I don't have one). Nice to see that the new Zelda is going to be more open-world, too. I'm just glad to see Nintendo...

    Sonic Boom Gameplay is...man this hurts.

    Almost had me with the roller-coaster bit at the beginning (minus the horrible voices), but then the beat-em-up was shown... and I just about fell asleep. Seriously, these guys don't know how to make a Sonic game.

    Sailor Moon Crystal trailer

    Besides the fact that they definitely seem WAY too skinny, somehow moreso than before, I'm definitely going to watch this. The animation, if nothing else, looks top-notch. (And I like the big-eyes, darnit!) It was kind of like that. Sailor Moon herself always still got the final hit in, or...

    DRM Is Coming To Firefox

    Safari is only alive because it's the default browser for Apple products. I think the basic functions of the Firefox-derivatives are sufficient to provide for most people who'd use them, and anyone familiar with Firefox should feel right at home, since as far as I can tell, addon...

    DRM Is Coming To Firefox

    Like I said, there's Firefox-derivatives that could keep it out if things got too bad. That's one of many beauties of open-source. I didn't mean I'd switch over to Chrome or Safari. (Internet Explorer doesn't exist as far as I'm concerned.)

    DRM Is Coming To Firefox

    In most any other circumstance, this would be when I switch providers, since I'm vehemently against DRM of any kind. (Steam alone barely squeezes by with a pass since it provides such great customer service, demonstrating that they know their place.) However, this is Mozilla: an open-source...

    The Language of Game Development

    I would also very much recommend Python (or Ruby) as a great place to start learning instead of C++, largely because C++ is the language I started with, and it took me FOUR YEARS to get to any point where I could start programming Tic Tac Toe using a variety of paradigms. Python could have...

    The Stomping Land Trailer: Everybody Walk the Dinosaur

    Dude, I get to RIDE A DINOSAUR?! I'M SO FREAKING SOLD!! I seriously don't remember being this excited for a game since Skyrim.

    Chilean Newspaper Lists Shenmue, Okami as Part of "Worst Games of All-Time"

    I wouldn't call it lying, because lying implies knowing what the truth is while expressing the falsehood. Confusing something one doesn't like for something that's "objectively bad" (whatever that even means) is a very common mistake, especially in language. I tried playing Bioshock, myself...
