A lot of it is really semantics, and it's kind of a stupid argument anyway, but everything scientists have found is evidence suggesting they exist, not actual proof. We have not, to my knowledge, ever seen a star c

There are even pictures of them taken with radio telescopes. Hold on let me see if I can find one real quick... Here's one. It's a artists rendering of the picture, but they have Actually found th

[quote who="Gwakamoli" reply="110" id="2674612"]I agree that pirating isn't a good thing, but what always bothers me is the way the big corperations go about trying to get rid of it. By having the horrible drm, massive prices, and by lieing about piracy statistics(or choosing to remain ignorant of any real study to better push their view foward), it gives pirates a moral reason to do it (whether it is right or wrong). I know Jafo thinks 'sticking it to the man' is a really stupid

[quote who="celicakydd" reply="3" id="2674598"]I had some friends of mine pick it up after we all quit STO. I decided to hold off as I am testing another MMO that's coming out next year. They have since quit playing it however for the reasons mentioned by DeCypher00. Apparently the lack of content coupled with the "buying blocks of time" business model turned them off. It's a shame because it looked like it could actually have been a good game. [/quote]

[quote who="DeCypher00" reply="1" id="2674562"]Don't buy it now. It'll be in the bargain bin in 3 months time. The customization is great, but the game-play is non-existent. It's a mediocre third person shooter that wants to charge you a monthly/hourly fee to play. You walk around in an 80 person instance doing nothing and then get ushered into tiny 2v2 or 5v5 "missions." And let's put it this way: there's less content in this game than there is in STO.

So I'm thinking of picking up APB tonight but I'm still un-decided. The game looks seriously awesome. It's a Mix of Grand Theft Auto and Unreal Tournament. It's a MMO type subscription based game but you don't have to pay for chunks of time you won't use like in most games. The pricing is really flexible. The other big draw is all the customization the game allows which looks incredibly fantastic. For once in a Online game it will be hard to find someone who looks like you if you're creative

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="78" id="2674404"] It won't be done. It'll never be done. [/quote] I knew that one was coming. :P Besides, it willl be done when you stop working on it and start working on Elemental 2. :)

[quote who="ZehDon" reply="29" id="2674191"]After following this development, I think it's reached the pinacle. A concise write up can be found here. Anyone who doubts the authenticity of this event is welcome to read the thread on the offical World of Warcraft forums here. It was created at 11am on July 7, and by 12:30pm it stands at 26 pages. A Blizzard employee posted their name on the official World of Warcraft forum in order to somehow prove that the Re

Yes, the world is ending because of RealID. [/quote] LoL . It's what I do all day every day :P I'm not saying it will be that way tomorrow or the world will end because of it. I just see it violating a lot of people's privacy and causing more harm then good. I don't play WoW anymore so I could really care less about w

If bugging the shit out of you to make it better helps though, just say so ;) :P

[quote who="Jafo" reply="104" id="2674074"] Even when I did back when I was still a "kid" I can count all the illegal things I've ever downloaded on One Hand, which is something I doubt many other people who have downloaded something illegally can honestly say. Gee...I download countless piles of illegal content.....just to verify it is illegal. Then I go hunt down the prick/s who posted it and get it removed. If everyone did it once...a day...bit l

[quote who="Tridus" reply="24" id="2674070"]It's pretty funny how the first real ID posts went to great lengths to emphasize the "optional", then not two weeks later the "optional" disappears entirely. The worst part is that it applies to tech support, because Blizzard's phone support is useless. The real support is done on the forums. Need support? Broadcast your name. Want to help someone ELSE by posting on support? Broadcast your name. Every forum MVP and many mod aut

[quote who="Frogboy" reply="56" id="2674092"] If you're certain the game just won't be ready, you are free to hold off on playing it. [/quote] No worries chief, if you say it's done I'll be ready and willing to play :) . I'm challenging you to a game of multi-player :P

[quote who="StevenAus" reply="2" id="2674056"]There are complex biological, social, political and whatever else-ical problems to overcome. No one person has complete control over it. But if we go down, at least we dared to dream (and of course, play Elemental and follow-ons 'til our dying day ). But one thing we can do - is treat others how we'd like to be treated, and be genuinely nice to people every day. It may not seem so, but it makes a tangible difference to peop

[quote who="Tridus" reply="53" id="2674065"]On a more serious note - at what point can we go back to talking about the release date? The last thread on the subject said you aimed to have the game "completed" by July 16 to make an August 4 "gold" date. But since this build doesn't have tactical battles, we're not going to see those until... July 15? At the earliest? One day before the "complete" date? That schedule doesn't sound at all realistic.

So I'm sitting here catching up on some TV shows I missed by watching them on Fancast (a perfectly Legal Site and sister site to Hulu) . I caught this show with Stephen Hawking. They have 3 episodes of it up hosted by PBS. The "Time Travel" episode is pretty awesome, as is his thoughts on Aliens. Honestly, I consider Stephen Hawking to be the smartest man currently on the face of the planet. He figured out that Black Holes existed long before we were able to prove he was right, and no

[quote who="DoomBringer90" reply="4" id="2674017"]Video 2 is the same content as video 1, just cut together differently I think. [/quote] Indeed it is the same vid. Then again he did post it at like 5 AM my time, so he's probably been up most of the night hammering away on code.

[quote who="starkers" reply="100" id="2674016"] With child abuse there is a distinct and defenseless victim... it should be pursued as criminal matter. However, when corporations can bully governments into becoming law enforcement, judge, jury and executioner, to pursue what should be civil matters, we move ever closer to a fascist state, run by CEO's. The criminal justice system should be there to prosecute criminals, I agree, but the music and movie industries ab

Bad Idea. If this ever becomes "Required" then Blizzard games and Battle.Net is just another thing I Won't be a part of. I don't want my real name being plastered all over the Internet, period.

[quote who="OsirisDawn" reply="30" id="2673991"] Again you are defeating yourself. Sleeping with someone you dont love makes you much more of a whore as if you sleep with 2 which you love for different reasons. It is possible to love two, each for different reasons. If you can't, thats wholly your problem. If Bella thinks she loves both guys, and has sex with them, it doesnt make her a whore. It happens because she believes in it. Also she is a

[quote who="Annatar11" reply="95" id="2673770"] Only the innocent and the daft will get hurt by this new witch hunt. How can an innocent get hurt by this? Presumably, just about the only way you'd get sued is if they tracked your IP over a P2P network and found out it's you seeding or downloading something - which kind of goes against "innocent".
