To this day nobody has gotten elves right.

Not at 6 months old they aren't. The pie is out of the oven. You can't just structurally change an area of the already formed brain via hormones. That'd be like using hormones to grow a third arm. To reverse biological gender assignment you'd have to manipulate hormone levels long before birth...

Sorry, which school do you teach at?

Oh come on. Compare the major cities to Darnassus and Stormwind. Compare the Tauren to the Raki. The game was DOA when you compare it to other products available. It just wasnt sexy at all. I mean ya, SOME of the dungeons were top notch, and the world's scale is unmatched. The classes are...

No matter how much money SOE threw at vanguard, it wouldn't have mattered. The world was totally bland.

DDR4 is years away from mattering. Like... Lots of years. This is the best value pre-built I've personally seen:Digital Storm VANQUISH II Custom Performance PC

The real travesty here is that somehow we are all talking about psychology like it's a science at all.

Well my interest level just went from 8 to 3

I got temp banned once for calling Millie a fat dude. It was glorious

All these years I've been pronouncing your name incorrectly... Sorry bro The article above? The National Post isn't a blog, and even if it were, that particular article was written by a very prominent journalist in Toronto.

Neuroscience as a field is in its infancy from what I understand. It really shouldn't be surprising to anyone that we don't know much about the brain and its processes yet.

Fucking nerds making a big deal over 5 painkillers. Get a grip.

Ya, Halflife 2 aged pretty well all things considering. I still think Jak 3, Sly 2, and Viewtiful Joe look great to this day, though, and they were released the same year as HL2

These games were released in the same year. This is what they are trying to avoid. 'Detail' is not as important as 'style' in computer graphics when you are talking about a product that will be in use (and under competitive pressure) for the next 20 years. 2014's idea of 'detailed realism' will...

Video games activate reward regions of brain in men more than women, Stanford study finds Stanford Medicine

Pretty sure the only societies where women perform better in mathematics are non-western/third world. In countries with good educational systems men almost always occupy the highest echelon of mathematics performance. I'm pretty sure I read this anyway. I'll try to find the source. Edit...

You brought your personal shit into this discussion. Not Jive.

But why do we find it pleasurable? Why does pleasure exist?

Strange. I'm not seeing the 'last edited by' line at the bottom.

Actually... It looks like the post I mentioned got straight up deleted. THE PLOT THICKENS

Naw, I saw his post before he edited it right above mine. The one fucking time I don't quote someone to reply to them. He named this guy in it: He said 'it was Furor if you really must know' or something to that effect.

??? ??? ??????????? ???????? ??? ????????????? ?????

Really? Furor still gives a shit about all this? Edit: Fuck your edit. That's why this should be in the shaw.

What is your opinion on these books?

Oh, I'm not talking about situations where fully functioning adults are putting real thought into decisions. Career choice, healthy eating, etc etc. I'm talking about situations where individuals are reacting outside of 'rational' decision-making. What is the driving force, then? Two men in a...

I wouldn't use the term 'negligible'. I think that's a bit extreme. Maybe 'secondary, in most cases' at best. You're also not really giving credit to the profound interplay between environmental influence and gene expression, and how that relates to behavioural patterns learned over long periods...

Sugar and fat cravings are so ancient that they predate the human species by millions of years. They are ingrained in our neurology. Sure, we have higher level intelligence to ignore the urge to consume these foods given the conditions you mention above, but that does not mean that instinctual...

If an individual in Paleolithic era Africa did not have a desire to eat fat and sugar rich foods, they would not have survived, and would not have had children. We would not be here having this conversation, and the world would be a much better place.

Edit: decided not to troll. Too lazy.

I'm just not sure how you can discount the significance of evolution and survival in the development of gender division, especially in species who live in groups. Male humans are physically stronger, and have developed roles that exploit this reality. Female lions are physically faster, and have...

...uhhhhhh Everywhere? Every day of your life? Across the entirety of the planet, in every known species? Ever? What is it you are looking for when you say 'direct'?

And you continue to be totally wrong in saying it. Politically correct, but wrong.

Jesus Christ this chimp discussion is ridiculous. There are nomadic 'pre-agricultural' societies alive and well in 2014 that give a pretty damn accurate picture of human behaviors 15,000+ years ago. Read a book.

Obviously the model needs some detail work, but I still love that Kerran. Especially when it's compared to that boring EQ2 catman

SOE live is just an excuse to go to Las Vegas and bro-down.

Artist got $35K for two weeks of no work, says developer of failed Kickstarter game | Polygon feels

Welcome back. Shovel, no contest.

So there's been some chatter about a few of us being interested in attending SOE live next year. It should be a big year for EQNext news, and a lot of us are pretty excited. If enough of us are interested, we could probably get some crazy good deals for booking as a group. Obviously we can't...
