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.

My memory is pretty bad. Were there a lot of AAA titles that released for Xbox and Xbox 360 (and same for ps2 and ps3)?

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.

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.

Not sure but I hope the real-world timeline is after Desmond. You have to believe that Altair has about a million descendants.

So the DJI is at its highest point ever. Time to go all in, get out or continue what you're doing?

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

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...

I don't think there's terrain editing or changing of the map size.

They didn't list the probability of impact? Garbage.

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...

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.

Dual income is awesome.

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.

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...

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.

Bro come on. Here's how I feel when I get my refund. (If any, fucking Obama)

turbo tax is great How I feel every year doing taxes:

We should make another contest for you to win. Biggest city/region population maybe?

Fine. FINE. I'll get it. edit: You and me both, Vvoid.

I think you're extrapolating beyond reason.

I hope so.

I don't think the comparison needs to be that specific.

Big problem with diamond's ability to retain value is: 1. Women don't want 'used' diamonds. 2. Diamonds being rare is entirely dependent on DeBeer's desire to restrict supply. 3. Diamonds being rare is also dependent on the manufacturing of synthetic diamonds not decreasing in price (As well...

Are you arguing that because sometimes people do dumb things we should feel okay to do dumb things? I don't understand. And if I'm coming off as an insufferable douche then I apologize. I don't mean to. The only reason I'm so forceful on this topic is because I don't like seeing my friends...

My wife's father paid for nothing for my wedding. Which is why I organized my own wedding. I'm not sure if you're contending that the wedding industry is NOT built around convincing brides to spend daddies money or you're arguing with me about moissanite in an indirect way. If you have a...

Are you under the impression that the woman's father pays for the engagement ring?

I think I'd be more upset about this shit if I ever played a game where an inferior player could gain advantage on me with $$$. The worst pay-for-shit thing I've seen has been a deliberate attempt by developers to create a shitty grind and then make it easier to progress through it with $$$.

I want like 10 of them and I am cutting costs everywhere to provide for their future.

Yeah except I'd have less freedom and leisure time at my socioeconomic status at every point in human history than I do now. I'm a middle class nobody with no connections and average ability, but I can literally go to any populated place in the world at any time I want and can choose pretty...

It was funny going to different wedding bullshit stores and the salespersons getting rustled at me. They'd give looks and make statements at my fiance like, "Plz get this reasonable person out of here so I can fleece you." this isn't directly wedding shit but the bed bath & beyond wedding...

Wedding costs are as dumb as diamonds. It's an entire industry built on convincing girls to spend daddy's money. I planned my wedding and it was the best shit ever and I made a profit off it. Women are bad at shopping in general, but they go full retard when it comes to weddings.

Is... is that a skinny and presentable jack black?

What would get me excited about AC4: 1. Removing all the boring community building aspects. I'm fine if you build an assassin empire, just hire a consigliare to navigate the menus to spend the money, ok? 2. Putting the game in a scene with magnificent and interesting historical buildings. The...

What I like is saving my friends from buying a bad product.
