    Censorship? There is no censorship!

    I've noticed that feminists shy away from any physiological explanation for trends between the sexes, instead relying on psychology as an explanation. This seems very limited to me. You could say the same thing about psychology that you do about physiology, most people have a poor...

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    you could argue the chestburster was feeding on people, whereas yeah, what did that giant octopus eat at the end? (ha, what do they eat?)

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    Impossibre Honestly though there is something about futuristic movies and flat acting performances. I'm not sure what it is, the actors or directors think that everyone in the future lacks emotion or something.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I'm actually pretty stoked for the sequel. Ridley says its about her travels to the alien engineer planet to ask them why they did whatever, which is actually a much more interesting concept to me than the first film's.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I absolutely hated the first 15 minutes or so of prometheus. It starts out with an ancient aliens creating the human race implication, and that whole concept/show is the most mind numbing trite ever. Then the female scientist starts talking in the most unscientific way possible, i.e. "why do...

    He's a fifty year veteran of the industry, I'm pretty sure he knows what he's talking about.

    The Ultimate Movie Thread of Ultimate Destiny

    I wasn't too sold on a couple of the special effects, namely dust storm looked a little too cgi-ey to me, but the rest of it looked awesome stylistically. am hoping it's a solid popcorn flick.

    I doubt anyone in this forum would be interested in seeing this.

    How are you supposed to play Civ 5?

    Different civilizations are also going to have different ai, so that might explain why they're not expanding (venice only ever has one city). Asside from the game-breaking worker bug that's fixed in the expansions, I thought five was a marked improvement over the rest. The instant troop...

    I've been really enjoying Titanfall. Completely suck at it, but it's a fun break.

    The Worrying Increase of Unfinished Games.

    I think a lot of that is true, but two things: I think COD, or whatever, has a valuable name now because the original product was good. So now people buy bad games based on reputation. However,I think in the long run that same reputation model will produce good results, in that people figure...

    The Worrying Increase of Unfinished Games.

    I dunno man, try winning at some pvp in D2 without spending money on good equipment. You didn't need to for the vanilla campaign (like d3), but if you wanted to beat your average other player you did. And yeah, the whole getting scammed thing is just another reason why its a good thing diablo 3...

    The Worrying Increase of Unfinished Games.

    Even if you have disdain for your customers you still want to make a good product, because good products sell more. It does get a little tricky in terms of franchises, they can make a bad COD game and people will still buy it, just like movie studios can make a bad Spiderman movie and people...

    How are you supposed to play Civ 5?

    What difficulty are you playing at? Yeah, sometimes the ai is hard. Last game I played, right at the end game I got attacked by two countries and everyone else denounced me -- one of the countries was allies with every city state so I was at war with all of them too and had no trading...

    Keys in Skyrim

    You couldn't make armor in Morrowind, so that sucks, but it's the same for anything else. "lol make 1000 health potions and you learn what all these ingredients do" or whatever. Anyway, I'm only talking about the points system based on the skills you used. So you can get maximum 5 points in...

    The Worrying Increase of Unfinished Games.

    I guess I just don't look at one set of developers as altruistic saints, and one group as bernie madoff or whatever. To me, they are all trying to accomplish the same goal business people everywhere are, to produce the highest quality good for the lowest possible cost. Sometimes developers fail...

    The Worrying Increase of Unfinished Games.

    I mean, I'm not really. I'm only advocating doing so in a specific instance where the novelty of it what act as an increase in advertising and might have resulted in a finished game. To me it seems as though you guys are acting as if developers or the system behind them are the problem, when...
