I never got the hang of Apocalypse, but the first game is such a classic. @Alphadrop: If you go back and play the first one and are having trouble with money, have your engineers manufacture laser weapons early on, you sell them for a tidy profit. When your tech is sufficiently advanced...

Nope. Apologies for my ignorance.

I don't know anything about this game so I have no comment on whether it's getting dumbed down or not, but: I think it's worth noting that turn based gaming never died out on consoles and handhelds, and it could be argued that there is more of a market for a deep turn based RPG on consoles...

Yes, we've established that affirmative action exists. Your point? As far as the "dumb blonde" goes, I've wondered just as often how the dumb white guy got the job. And since we're arguing solely on the basis of conjecture,, your concession: Still negates your argument that white men are...

@Elissar: Using the word "wasted" makes me think you may have gotten it and were playing around, but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUspLVStPbk in case you didn't :) You know you're getting old when your "pop" culture references have become more like mesozoic cultural references.

Looks like you just defeated your own argument there bud. What the shit do the breeding habits of indigenous Australians have to do with Canada's population?? I assume by "Aboriginal" you mean black? Get some facts to back that up then, because I'm pretty sure poor people the world over...

Totally off the point. A study showing women work less than men in no way indicates that they call in sick more often. There would also be maternity leave to figure into that statistic. And before you cry foul and say that's another way men are discriminated against, I've known men who got...

Don't blaspheme. Everyone knows Skeletor teamed up with Gargamel and Dr. Wily and won that battle fair and square, it's science fact.

The statistics you're talking about are derived from looking at men and women doing the same work. Women statistically make less per hour for the exact same job. You can attempt to use your magic math to explain that away however you like, but it's a fact. Whether women work less on average...

Yeh, thanks for sticking up for me, but I've never heard of those legit ways to watch TV via the interwebs :) I just assumed "warez talk" referred to games / apps and my vitriol towards the monopolizing bastards that are the big 3 US cable companies knows no bounds. Apologies.

Most people are stupid. Most people are poor. Solved. Statistics showing intelligence of various segments of any population wouldn't mean much to me, as IQ tests are pretty wonky in my experience. I've taken three in my life and received a different score on each one, they weren't even...

When the human race acquired the ability to vaporize itself at the touch of a button, worrying about the world coming to an end got silly. You've got to take a little something with you the next time you watch Dr. Strangelove. I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb a long time ago...

People still watch TV? Use the power of the intertubes! Pretty much any popular show gets uploaded all over the place in high quality. Save yourself 50 bucks a month or whatever it is and just go with their fastest cable internet package. somewhat unrelated: I'd love it if the CEOs at...

Yeh, it's definitely easier to train a young dog. I was just trying to point out that even a violent abused basket case shelter dog can be reformed. No one should hesitate to pick up <1 year old dog from a shelter for fear that it's been "ruined" or something like that by its previous...

Just thought I should pipe in and also recommend going with a dog from one of your local shelters. Not a big supporter of breeding when there are so many being euthanized on a daily basis. While It would be great to raise one from just a pup, you can teach an old dog new tricks so I...

Anyone ever play one called Samurai Swords? I think it was originally called Shogun but they got sued by someone. I played a ton of that one when I was young. Not as complex as Axis and Allies, but a bit deeper than Risk. It takes place in fuedal Japan (obviously) and at the begging of...

Wow. Just saw this, amazing stuff That looks like a really fun game, can I play? Okay, here goes: Some insects eat their young. Some insects have eyes. Conservatives have eyes. Conservatives eat babies. I always knew it. You should listen to the song "California Uber Alles" by the...

Anime is pretty hit or miss for me. I loved Cowboy Bebop, the first Ghost in The Shell movie, and Akira though. I liked what I've seen of Samurai Champloo as well. I recently watched a 26 episode series based on a manga called Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad. Simple character animation, and...

I think every generation thinks it's the end times. I'm an optimistic fatalist. We may destroy the earth's ability to support human life, but never all life. If that's the case sentient beings may once again evolve from microbes. Hell, maybe it's already happened a few times. Personally...
