  1. Yes, because human-on-human conflicts are so bloodless. Not to mention the fact that it's not like drones are free & infinitely replaceable like game avatars are.
  2. I grilled out for the first time last night (first time doing it myself I mean), on one of those miniature Weber grills, and yeah, I felt pretty manly.
  3. I "believe in science" in the sense that I believe that a rational, methodical, objective approach to studying the universe will bring greater understanding of how it works. But yeah, that doesn't mean that any given theory is true (edit: or that any given person is always right, because they're not). Even putting aside that sometimes people will be intentionally deceptive, there's also the fact that humans make mistakes, or even beyond that people make perfectly reasonable inferences based on available data without knowing that they're missing critical bits of info.
  4. Bullet-point, and since AC1 already existed on PS3 they didn't even have to port it. It was basically 0 work, and I really doubt they were making much from sales of AC1 anyway. *Edit* - I'll have to try a golf game on my Move once it gets here. My father in law would probably like it too.
  5. Yeah, the problem is the regular media just picks up on the sensational findings of whatever study, without being bothered by the fact that it was published in Pseudoscience Monthly because none of the real publications would run it.
  6. FXAA worked quite nicely in Skyrim too. But yeah, the only games where we might see MSAA would be ones that aren't terribly taxing on the system to begin with.
  7. Okay, that's an important distinction. Yeah, people are crappy and even "scientists" will distort data to support their ideas (not all of them, I'd even say not most of them, but certainly some of them).
  8. At first I was like "meh, it can render in 2k, who has a 2k tv?" but then I realized that would allow 2x MSAA on a 1080p TV, and MSAA is quite a bit better than FSAA (standard antialiasing), so that's kinda cool.
  9. Well it's not entirely a donation, every Kickstarter I've seen treats each pledge as a preorder at the least.
  10. I think best developer. Best publisher would just end up going to Nintendo I'm sure.
  11. Oh god, sales like that are going to give me a reading backlog similar to my Steam backlog, I just know it...
  12. I assumed you'd gotten a Vita, but that the "thanks" part was a joke.
  13. AFAIK the only thing that works in the US is 911.
  14. Yeah, forgot PhysX is Nvidia. The reason I keep getting Nvidia cards over ATI is because in the past I have had nothing but trouble with ATI's drivers and game compatibility.
  15. I get the rabbit and door one, but the other three sailed right over my head.
  16. That would make sense, except they explicitly explain at one point in The Last Airbender that the Avatar's most difficult element is always the element opposite their natural one. *Edit* - As I said, Korra's philosophy/approach to problems seems more like that of an earth bender.
  17. I'm sure PhysX will be supported next gen.
  18. Finally broke down and got it. It was actually cheaper than getting the three Move components all separately.
  19. I learned it when I was a kid because of the word "Pokémon". True story.
  20. alt+130 (on the numpad only) also makes é
  21. I seem to have made a tradition of watching through the series every summer.
  22. I would have bought that several times before in Steam sales and such, except for the fact that the DLC isn't included so that adds quite a bit more to the cost.
