    Video game logic?

    I don't see the problem here. Hydrogen bombs (heck, ANY bomb that isn't nitroglycerine) tend to be stable. Kinda risky otherwise. Why would it explode just cos it's been shot?

    Why is Star Wars: Episode I Looked Upon With Despise?

    Yes I have just watched those reviews, I even mentioned them by name. You can argue that maybe Boba Fett is still cool, but midi-chlorians erase everything that was exciting about the Force. And it doesn't matter what justification you have, seeing four hundred and twelve lightsabers stops them...

    Question Time...

    Not quite. It's more they incorporate the questions into things so that you stop needing to ask them. Like, the big questions of the first season: What is the Island? What is the smoke monster? What are the numbers? By the time season 3 comes around, NONE of that matters. It's a magic island...

    Why is Star Wars: Episode I Looked Upon With Despise?

    It is kind of interesting how worked up people get about the prequels. Yes, they're very bad movies, but most of the hate from them comes from the things surrounding them, and their interaction with the original trilogy. 1) Expectations. It's Star Wars, hopes were sky high. They could have...

    Why is Star Wars: Episode I Looked Upon With Despise?

    But you can't take V as a standalone, it relies on you having seen IV. But in the same way you can't take II as a standalone, the fact that it "floats" is irrelevant. It's like saying that as a standalone film, 98:34 of IV through to 20:14 of V sucks. You can't break down a continuous story like...

    Why is Star Wars: Episode I Looked Upon With Despise?

    What does stumped even mean? Yes, Empire is very much the middle-child, but the rest of it is awesome. Or are you forgetting "No Luke, I am your father"? Cos that doesn't seem like a line from a crappy film to me. And the clif-hangery very sequel set up-ery ending of V in no way excuses the...

    Why is Star Wars: Episode I Looked Upon With Despise?

    The hell? Empire is the BEST one. Phantom Menace is terrible, the plot is simultaneously childish and overcomplicated, half the characters are pointless, three quarters of the plot is pointless in regards to the rest of the series, the effects are over the top, it looks like a fucking cartoon...

    Poll: Two Questions

    But...is that it? Surely everyone knew that? It seems the typical reaction to your post is just a "Well how was I meant to know?" Shrug, and move on.

    Poll: Two Questions

    So essentially your posts show on people being unable to choose leaders in the absence of relevant information. This shows what exactly?

    Betrayal

    They also pulled the "the-guy-you're-working-for-is-evil" in MGS1 and 2. Arguably they did in 3 and Portable Ops (although Snake never knows this, the player does). You implying that KotOR II had a bit betrayal twist? Oddly, I found that one the most effective. Yeah, the betrayer is well...

    Most Overpowered/Broken Anything In a Game?

    Pfah, small fry. Enchant arrows/sword: On hit Fire Damage 1sec, Fire Weakness 100% 1 sec. Munches through everything. Or on hit Burden/Strength Drain. The classic though is to enchant 5 pieces of armour with Chameleon 20%. Yes it stacks. You are permanently invisible.

    Poll: Two Questions

    No, just goes to show that making judgements on incomplete cherry-picked information is a bad idea. Also shows that you can find anyone who beat very severe genetic conditions if you look hard enough. Want me to find examples of alcoholics who beat their wife? Vegetarians who have affairs...

    $1000 for a college computer......GO!

    What do you want from it? I assume your major will require at least a modicum of programing, but would graphic design be required? If not, sod the graphics card, save some power, weight and money. If you do need the graphical stuff a desktop is probably the way to go. I'm using an Inspiron...

    thoughts on medical marijuana?

    This really can't be said enough, nearly every country's drug policy is completely screwed up. We either need a mass legalisation or a mass banning all the way down to caffeine. A lot of fuss was made about Prof. David Nutt's claims comparing ecstasy harm to horse riding (I'm not convinced, he...
