    lol. These threads are like opening up your high school yearbook and seeing how young (and skinny) we all used to be. Was that pic pre-med? I don't even think I graduated high school in the earliest pic of me on here.

    I hope the backstabbing Spartacus got is superficial and he just walks it off.

    Spartacus

    Caesar was beaten in a 2v1 against agron and a dude who was slaughtering legionnaires. I thought Agron would die in that fight, but oh well. Either way I've stopped caring about immersion. Every lead character should be a superhuman in spartacus, including the senators, bankers and generals.

    Yeah, this is looking to be like the least Assassin based Assassin's Creed ever.

    MMA Thread

    Eh I don't really agree. In the second round Stann didn't try to brawl with Silva and tried to outstrike him (Which he did in groin strikes!) but Silva was too fast and too accurate for Stann. You could argue that he would've done better in the second if he didn't get so beaten up in the first...

    We'll see how it plays out. Based on what I've seen it's not like the regions will be a permanent fixture, but just a space to create cities and once the cities are created we'd create another region. And if we don't want shitty mayors in our region then it's easy to stop them.

    I'm sure there will be room. There's no spots filled, just show up to the irc channel (name not picked yet) at release. If I can't download the shit until 3am or at release someone else will have to manage the region creation.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    Maybe. The naval stuff in AC3 was the least sandbox part of the game. The missions were literally linear and picked from a map. I doubt we'll see a game where you can just travel around your boat on a coast/open sea.

    Hmm, seems like you can either make it public and I assume random people can search for your region and cock it over, or you have to make it private and the only way to join is for the owner to manually invite you. I was hoping I could make a region with some name and people would be able to...

    Let's get some ideas for our first region name and then we'll make an IRC channel named after it, we can use that to figure shit out on Monday night. I've never played SimCity5 so I won't know wtf to do but I'm down for making my first city in a RR region anyway. My pragmatic region name...

    My expectation is that most people here will spend a lot of their time in the first week embarrassing themselves privately before wanting to make a city in a public region. Either way yeah, I'll be around Monday night, but hopefully the server choice isn't an important thing like it is for MMOs.

    Do you know when it goes live? If it's 5pm to midnight EST I'll be around. Or do they have a serverlist somewhere? I also don't know if the server necessarily matters? You can be on multiple servers right? And whatever horse shit non-city based attributes (ex, achievements or god forbid some...

    That's what I figured when that article didn't list the probability. Scientist: "There's a 99.999% chance the asteroid will miss mars." Press:" So you're saying there's a chance." Scientist: "... yes..." Faux Science News article: "POSSIBLE COLLISION WITH MARS!"

    "25) If your internet goes down while you're playing, you will still be able to play for a short period of time. No specific time frame has been given!" So probably zero anti-cheating mechanisms.

    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag

    If anything it'd be great if their assassination sequences copied Hitman more and the 'gathering intel' allowed for you to do them Silent Assassin style vs charging in there, killing the target and jumping in some hay.

    That all sounds good but I am still really apprehensive that it won't be tuned to the lcd like Spore was.

    SimCity

    Dunno but I bet it was realistic and impressive sometime during alpha and then when they got their drooling retard playtesters on it they complained that timmy cocked over their city. Really they need to have region management controls on how much you can fight other regions. Having simulated...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I took a closer look at the paper, here's where they describe the comms: http://www.nature.com/srep/2013/1302...srep01319.html I don't know what 100 microstimulation pulses to the primary motor cortex would do, but my guess is that it's some kind of irritant or the most hilarious case it...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think we can agree on that. There's just a question of what that limiting factor is. I'd be interested in finding out what exactly they did to the decoder mouse to achieve communication. Feeding in a binary value can be done in many different ways, most of which are really just hacks.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yeah I was also thinking about making a kung fu reference. I'd just like to read a paper from a real neurochemist discussing the plausibility of direct information transmission for complex ideas. Being able to transmit a binary message to a mouse is cool but scalability can't be assumed.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Yeah I get that, but are we talking about injecting phantom images into our brain so that the mouse thinks it sees the left lever's light luminate? Or are we talking about injecting 'knowledge' into the mouse' brain so that it 'knows' that it should push the left lever? Because if it's the...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Pretty cool. I doubt we'll ever use a brain to brain interface over verbal or written communication though. I'm no neurologist but it seems like it'd take a tremendous change in the human brain in order to quickly encode and decode messages sent via wire. Still, any kind of 'automatic' input...

    Good choice. I always tell friends who want to sell me something big (house,car,whatever) that I'm not going to buy unless I'm giving the seller a bad deal and I don't want to give you a bad deal.

    I'm thinking we could make a new one every month or something but we'll see how it plays out. We'll definitely give the Rerolled region a try.
