    Great point about how Overeem could've stuck to his single punch strategy. I've long argued that he can't do that against Silva and Lesnar because he needs his hands low to stuff the takedown, but I think what Bas said is true also.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    Plotting the lives of HGs is interesting but I don't know how important I'd say it is for diet determination.

    The bulk of PS3 exclusives, sure, but there are still many high-profile PS3 exclusives that were popular in America that were never ported to xbox/pc. As for always on DRM, that's no surprise.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I agree with your statement that PS3 had more exclusives that stayed exclusives, but I wonder how much of that was due to games being developed for PS3's fucked architecture not being as easily portable as xbox exclusives? And it seems like PS4 will have a much similar architecture to xbox720...

    That's a good point. Sasuke could definitely sacrifice himself at the end. But restarting the Uchiha clan would make sense too.

    Not sure about SLI, but don't count on crossfire giving positive scaling. fuck crossfire. New screenshots look great. It's like a modded Skyrim with HD textures and ENB.

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    I kind of liked the explanation, but I guess I like magic explanations that are more scientific and less ritualistic. The hole in that is that the uchiha kept saying that they unlocked the MS by killing their friend, but the second is saying that it happens if their friend dies. I have to...

    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    Recalling knowledge is important to problem solving, yeah. A lot of standardized tests stress your ability to recall knowledge by having you read some bullshit fiction story and then asking you questions about it. This tests your ability to decipher information in text also, but having the...

    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    If you have to reduce it to one thing I'd recommend problem solving. Good measures of intelligence aren't aided by previous knowledge, but obviously nearly all useful solutions to problems require a great deal of knowledge before you can think intelligently about them. The important thing is...

    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    Pretty much this. The correlation between intelligence and knowledge isn't as high as these fake IQ tests might want you to think. A better iq test question might be some dumb looking bullshit like this But I'm no expert in testing methodology.

    Paleo 101: How and why you should eat like a Caveman

    I challenge your notion that anyone who can live to 45 as a hunter-gatherer is so physically elite that you can just accept that they'll die of natural death a long time from there. I think you're overestimating how indicative toward long-life the ability to survive harsh conditions, fighting...

    The Zionists are whining thread

    I don't disagree. I have no personal attachment to any location on the planet and if my culture was being a pain in the ass to the entire world I wouldn't mind leaving. On the flip side, many Americans believe that 'if you give the muslims anything they'll just want more' and probably view...

    How stupid are you compared to your great gramps?

    Yep. Also history/grammar tests aren't very good estimations of IQ. As for the underlying purpose of the thread, I've read a lot that would suggest that modern man adapted more to specific diseases than intelligence and we may, in fact, be dumber and less perceptive than our...

    I don't acknowledge that. We don't know the hardware specs of the next gen consoles nor smartphones 8 years from now, but I would wager that it's probably a similar difference in computational power between an Xbox360 and an iphone5 (around 7 years difference in release date). Note that an...

    Ok maybe ten years is a lot. Maybe 7 or 8 would be more realistic. And I'm including the entire package of cpu and gpu into a platform's processing capability.

    You're right, there is no real acceptable solution for Israel. But when you say 'give up tons of land' do you mean 'stop building new settlements illegally'?

    I don't really have much to say to that except that the fantasy about a 100-man home invasion team was hilarious and that counter-arguments to arguments not presented here aren't very useful.

    Nobody I know says HD anyway even if it's plastered all over marketing. We're counting pixels here boys, if you're telling me how many pixels it has just tell me how many it has.

    This is the kind of thing I'd have to see to think was a big enough improvement to take the fps hit. There's already a huge difference in the resolution I'm able to run shit at and the incredibly low resolution of texture sizes available in games. I don't think it's obvious how bad texture sizes...
