    Murders and Shootings

    Exactly. Security is meant to serve as a deterrent for minor crimes. There's no way you can deter someone who's willing to throw their life away.

    Murders and Shootings

    What's ironic about this statement is that kids are exponentially more likely to die on their way to school than at school.

    Murders and Shootings

    I'm not convinced they'd even be able to mitigate the number of deaths. I mean just look at that mall shooting, the police and security presence there did nothing to change the ultimate outcome.

    Murders and Shootings

    I don't think this would do anything beyond provide a false sense of security to parents, teachers, and students. The chances of a lone officer being in any position to stop a shooting are pretty low given the size of an average school.

    Remakes: What would you like to see?

    First one that comes to my mind is Herzog Zwei. The game has a really interesting mechanic that I'm honestly surprised hasn't been duplicated elsewhere. EDIT: Just googled the game and apparently the spiritual successor was released on Steam last month... I was kind of surprised to see that...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Wouldn't a lunar base be necessary if we ever wanted to get helium-3 off the moon? Of course, we'd need to develop fusion first for that to really be needed.

    Windows 8

    Rumor is Windows 8 will eventually turn into Windows Blue through a service pack. From there Microsoft intends to do yearly OS upgrades like Apple does.

    Gunman opens fire at Oregon mall outside of Portland

    I thought about it this but then it occurred to me, someone on bath salts probably wouldn't be using a gun and body armor.

    About fohguild.org and Requiem

    My only concern about FoH disappearing is how will old FoH posters find this place now. Is there an easy way to associate Rerolled with FoH in Google search rankings?

    Do you have health insurance?

    You can have any insurance plan you want. Just most people go with employer provided ones because they subsidize the cost. It's certainly possible, especially for young people, to find cheaper plans though.

    Do you have health insurance?

    I used a PPO plan for ~$135 a month before I got my current health insurance through work. The PPO Plan was pretty cool. They'd give me 500 dollars every year to cover expenses like deductibles, co-pays, and prescriptions. Then if I didn't use it, it'd roll over to the next year. Beyond that...

    Windows 8

    Recently I've found the mail app to be kind of buggy. Works fine until you start trying to download older emails from gmail then the thing refuses to sync properly. Not really sure of a fix.

    Islands (Philippines, Guam, etc)

    One island that I've always been interested in going to is New Caledonia. It may be too far for you but apparently there are some direct flights from Seoul available. It's basically a French territory in the middle of the South Pacific so you get a mix of Parisian and Polynesian influences...

    what are some of the worst games you've ever played?

    Similar boat to me. Although I remember renting all these shitty Genesis and SNES games when I was little but no idea on their names. I largely rented games based on whether they had cool box art or not...

    what are some of the worst games you've ever played?

    It'd probably be fair to say most people lucked out and never played the truly bad games out there.

    Work At Home / Online Marketing etc.

    This totally doesn't surprise. I honestly think many office environments are toxic due to all the bullshit that happens there. There's little chance you can be as productive when no one in the office really gives a shit. As much as I hate going to the office some days, I do like having a...

    Yeah by comparison the 360 has one exclusive. That leaves little doubt the new Xbox will release in the fall.

    End of the world thread 12/21/12

    This happens all the time. Last big one was in May of last year when some Christian radio guy was insistent the world was ending despite his last 2 predictions being wrong. He actually had volunteers who sold all their shit and traveled the country telling people how the world was ending.

    Ars editors pick the most overrated games

    The whole "this console game is overrated because the PC did it better" argument doesn't hold a lot of water with me. Simply put most of those PC games either never made it to consoles or their ports were significantly delayed / bad. Say what you will about Halo but it was still the best console...

    I prefer how Lenny did the flames and made the FoH banner a lot more subtle. If you just glance it, you may not even notice the FoH banner which I think is pretty cool.

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    It's not Xbox Live that I'm referring to though, it's Windows. All indications point to the new Xbox as being a Windows box for the television. If true, MS would be able to make a more seamless experience between the PC and console than Steam can.

    SteamOS - SteamWare

    Really having a hard time seeing the angle here for Valve. It's almost like they're trying to compete directly with Microsoft's ubiquitous ecosystem which I'm not sure is a winning strategy in the long run.

    It's a shame how quick FT burns through manga material but I'd rather it be like that than drag on like OP tends to do. So far FT's filler isn't terrible like Bleach or Naruto's.

    The Sonic franchise had some amazing music back in the day. It's shame to see how far it has fallen. Megaman is another franchise with awesome music that has fallen hard.

    Must Have Software

    I appreciate this suggestion. Didn't even realize something like this existed. So far it seems to just be a 64-bit version of Firefox. Considering it works with all my add-ons, I see no reason not to switch over.
