Comedy Horror does sound more appropriate for an official genre, but I always preferred the term Traumady, or Traumadies. If people are dying and I am laughing, then it's a traumady. Of course that definition puts a lot of traditional horror movies into this category for me, because I am sick in...

10 minutes. To drive into the office. After that we head out in the company vehicle to go wherever, but by that point I am on the clock so I don't care. I spend a good share of my time driving to job sites, but it doesn't really bother me at all because it's just part of the day. Then after...

The problem with coming up with solutions for a problem like this is that we don't have the framework of an actual game to talk about real solutions, so we are left with generalizing and making assumptions about some "every game". I have been kicking around an idea for a game that I think...

Saying that "Education is a multi-faceted problem" is an understatement to say the least. You essentially have the perfect world problems and real world factors. The perfect world problems exist regardless of what system you adopt or where you try to implement it. This generally revolves around...

Don't believe eXarc's hate mongering.Cat's and pelicans can live together in peace. Don't be blinded by the media. Think for yourself. Question everything. Western Medicine doesn't have all the answers. People weren't meant to live in boxes. Bush lied, people died. ??e????

I am going as a ninja. Not very original I know, but the group I am going to party with has been calling me the ginjah-ninja lately. I have red hair, and at some point this summer we were hanging around a bonfire and I started attacking people... in slow motion... and then pantomiming the...

Stanley Spadowski was just a regular abnormal janitor when he stumbled into hosting his own kids show on a local access TV station currently owned by the then unknown talent of George Newman, later to be known as Weird Al Yankovich. The show was a major success, but after years of non stop...

Like you said... Early on bringing people together and letting them see each other within a virtual space was enough to amaze anyone who hadn't experienced that. Now, connecting with people online is about as routine as it gets. Just bringing people together is no longer enough, now those...

The more freedom a player is given, in terms of character creation, the less detail can be included in the backstory. Unless a backstory generating tool is provided, which in it's most basic form is a blank sheet for the player to write down their thoughts about their character's origin. When...

For me personally, I tend to stick to whole foods. (pre-processed food, not the store) Or if I do buy something that has been prepared ahead of time, I simply read the ingredients, the simpler the better. The issue I have with just about all processed foods is the need to use artificial...

I got a real Robocop vibe from it, except darker and grittier, which is saying a lot. It didn't get real campy, or have annoying, over emotional characters that made you wish the movie was 20 minutes long and ended in a fiery death for all involved. The main villain was brutal, driven and really...

Just picked the game up yesterday. Only played it a little bit. I decided to head right out of the gate on Ragnarok difficulty. It seems very well balanced for that level. All of the fights have required a lot of attention and can be really close if I don't figure out target priority and burn...

double post

I am playing through D3 for the first time on console now. (Taking forever as I am playing with a friend who has limited free time.) I can say that Cain's death scene was the most anti-climactic death in video game history. That old fucker's been to hell and back, but when he gets tickled by...

The next probability question should be this... Q: If a brain teaser is posted on an interweb forum, what are the chances someone is going to get rustled? A: Bunches As has been posted before the real situation is this: You get to choose one of three boxes. One of the boxes has a prize...

I suddenly remembered this wasn't the general forum. No point in derailing a thread about some entertaining fiction

You might want to askthiswoman why we have never released concrete evidence of his death.

Dehydrated Discussion* (Just add water and it expands like magic!) *Most of the stuff about human development is only in there because you people are horrible at staying on topic.

I bought all my books my first semester. Spent ~$350. Hardly used any of them. After that, the first thing I would check for each class was the syllabus. Just about every syllabus I came across had class schedules and due dates for assignments. If anything was assigned directly from the book, I...

My enemy's ally, who is the enemy of my ally's ally, who is my enemy, is my friend... or something like that.

I pre-ordered the console version. I have a friend down in Texas that wants to play on the console. Neither one of us have touched the PC version. No auction house, retooled combat, and increased drop rates that cater to the classes present just seems like a more laid back and enjoyable...

I prefer the term Holo-poca-caust-alypse for situations that dire.

And Spells all came from books... yeah I messed that up. Stacking int and an Archangels staff was the way to go for spells. Although everyone could use spells, I think the sorcerer was the only one who could get a mana pool substantial enough to not suck. And yet, itemization in that game was...

The biggest problem is the lack of a separate resource to increase skills effectiveness. In Diablo and Diablo 2 you had skill points. And you could derive almost all of your damage from certain skills, which made those builds love +skill items. There is no additional resource in D3. It's all...

Or a better option would be to pick 4 aspects of each characters performance and tie that to a stat. These aspects would have to be functionally different. Not all adding to damage or all adding to survival. But each one would enhance each class, just differently. Str: increases melee and...

Maybe this will devolve into the typical shitfest we have seen, with our troops getting deployed. However I think this is going to be another remote war like Libya. I think drones and missiles and RC helicopters armed with fireworks are going to be the weapons of choice. If they keep pushing the...

Oh holy shit... I fail. I totally forgot the ZF1. It's like 6 weapons in one or something.

Melee Option:Berserk Pack(Doom, with the brutal doom mod installed) Fire Support:Engineer's Turret, (TF2) Long Range:Farsight, (Perfect Dark) Heavy Weapon:"standard issue big Gun", (Ghost in the Shell) Force Superiority:Satellite Rain, (Syndicate Wars)

Because this did not start as an armed uprising. This started as a series of protests. The Syrian government's response? Start killing civilians. It took quite a while before a unified armed resistance evolved out of that. Slaughtering your own people is not something a sane administration...

Ok now imagine if everyone is required by law to arm themselves whenever they leave their home. It's totally out there and well within the realm of "neva-eva-gunnahappen". But think about that from the point of view of criminals. Now there is no guess work, now they know that if they pull a...

I think any military action taken by the U.S. without a clear indication from the U.N. that the Syrian government actually used chemical weapons would be a huge misstep. Russia is already leaving not so vague indications that U.S. involvement, without UN approval, is not going to work in...

The goal of the insurgent actions in both Iraq and Afghanistan was not revolution, nor the outright defeat of U.S. forces. The goal was simply to maintain hostilities in order to inflict casualties and hopefully cause approval for the wars to wane here in the U.S. Also for the insurgents to...

An armed revolution will not work in America because it will never get to the level of coordination needed for it to succeed. The NSA, FBI, CIA and any other government agency that may examine the activities of the public with a critical eye have been aware of the potential threat of an armed...

Immunity did suck in D2. However, it really forced you to plan a character to be able to deal with it, whether through gear or skills. There were very few combos that could completely shut a character down if they didn't put all their eggs in one basket. I had a Frenzy barb that could clear the...

Not if he raised sound points and was able to successfully defend his position. People would have respected his decision in that case, more than currently anyways. As it is, other people have to defend his position for him. Simply asserting an argument and then leaving the discussion permanently...

I wouldn't have had an opinion on the matter because he would have been just another blip on the radar. Life is for the living, what goes on here is the sole discretion of those who are not afraid to live. If he wished to share his opinions on the matter he should have stuck around to defend...

I read his reasoning for why... what a presumptuous, selfish, arrogant and narcissistic old fool. His case for why he wished to die revolved around not being personally embarrassed by the aging process. Big fucking deal, my grandmother had more balls than this puffed up pussy... and yet he goes...

I read most of the Ender's series. It's funny that Ender's game really doesn't seem to fit with the rest of the books. I really didn't like the books that followed Ender's life after the battle school. Shit just got weird, but in a boring convoluted sorta way, not an interesting and...

I pay $41 a month for full liability and coverage for my truck. It's a 2001, so yeah it's old, but it runs fine and I would be kinda screwed without it.
