Glad you're home, Kazz. Now I can go back to pretending this forum doesn't exist.
Well, maybe just to read Sharkey's posts. They remind me of a simpler times where Presidents were white and gas was 2 bucks a gallon.

You do realize they damned themselves irrevocably by any standard in doing that, right?
I mean, yeah, the deadly sin of Wrath is an obvious one for sane people, but for them it's the deadly sin of Idolatry. They just praised, in the highest terms, a man who pointedly and repeatedly denounced God.
It's worth keeping them alive just to see if they ever figure that out, and count how many bricks are shat. They probably won't though, so
I don't really care, in fact I wish them well,
'Cause I'll be laughing my head off when they're burning in Hell.
You're talking like facts actually matter to these people. Even if you explained it to them, do you think they'd care? Do you think THAT would make them realize they've made a terrible mistake? Do you think they're really concerned about any sort of self-consistency?
With Republicans we can at least pretend they'd be ashamed by this sort of blunder, but this is a level way beyond that.

I think that's Paramount's decision, not Lucas's. Lucas could give a fuck. He's just going to sign off on whatever gives him a bigger royalty cheque, and unfortunately Paramount has rightly figured out that if they put out the cockfucked version first, they can sell the thing twice to gullible fans.
Ha ha, I would place good money on the fact that Lucas probably has tight control over which ones are released, not Paramount. Paramount knows that any Star Wars they put out there will net them mountains of cash. Plus Lucas has stated multiple times that he thinks people should be getting the Special Editions. So, whatevers.
Star Wars is distributed by 20th Century Fox, not Paramount.

« on: January 08, 2011, 10:47:41 PM »The point I was trying to make was, if Glenn Beck's ridiculous hate speech makes otherwise relatively sane people violently angry, imagine what it does to the crazy people who were unstable to begin with.
...we don't have to imagine
But my point was when you say "Glenn Beck's ridiculous hate speech makes otherwise relatively sane people violently angry", you don't say anything that backs up that claim. The two points you did back up, (1. the guy is really crazy, and 2. crazy people can be inspired to violence by relatively innocuous things), don't help that statement at all.
I'm not defending Glenn Beck here, I'm just pointing out that you're making a pretty poor case against him when it should be pretty easy.

« on: January 08, 2011, 10:23:58 PM »This guy reminds me a lot of of ulillillia or the timecube guy. Probably deeply OCD. I imagine he arranges his speech into the most logical order that works for him, even if it makes absolutely no sense to anyone else. Probably not a coincidence, people who have the kind of fucked up problems ulilililia and the timecube guy have tend to be extremely impressionable to viewpoints that already sort of jive with their own, so they probably took the violent rhetoric seriously and turned to this.
The right can say 'we don't intend...' all they want, but Manson was inspired by a Beatles song and the guy who killed Lennon did it because of the Catcher in the Rye. (Which, btw, one of the favorite books of our shooter here.) And both of the above examples were subtle. The shit Glenn Beck spouts every day makes otherwise sane people want to shoot our politicians.
If the point you were trying to make was the last sentence here, why does it contradict everything you said prior to that?

« on: January 08, 2011, 10:13:52 PM »I get the feeling they're just intentionally keeping back the unfucked remasters of the original trilogy until demand for them reaches a boiling point, so that they can announce it with great fanfare.
Didn't they release them on DVD a few years back? Or are you just referring to a blu-ray release?

Good for him, but he's already done it before, and it would be more meaningful if he had an audience other than people who already agree with him.

« on: January 08, 2011, 06:59:32 PM »remember when they made Taxi Driver and it went over everyone's heads completely and the reaction was either "why is it so violent ew how distasteful" or "man Robert DeNiro is such a badass I wanna be a tough guy like him"
No, I don't recall the public reaction to a film made before any of us were born.
I know it's a rhetorical question but I guess the reference just went over my head.

« on: December 31, 2010, 06:04:47 PM »I want to say that tips make for a good incentive for better service but when you actually look at it the world's best service staff mostly comes from countries with little or no tipping custom.
So huh.
As noted above, what people tip doesn't always have anything to do with the level of service.
It makes sense to me that a restaurant, paying a real wage instead of relying on customers' tips, would be more inclined to make sure their servers were doing a good job. If waiter jobs are in higher demand, the management can afford to be choosy and get rid of ones that are rude to patrons. Also, the patrons themselves may be more willing to complain to the management about rude waiters since they can't simply leave no tip.
Just a theory. I wouldn't mind getting rid of tipping, but it's really to ingrained in our culture at this point.

I recommend the Clean Design Pack along with the BetterLight/Grass mods. I think they significantly improve the look of the game while still maintaining the distinct "minecraft" feel (a problem with many texture packs is that they change the look TOO much, and look out of place in the blocky minecraft world).
WARNING: the BetterLight mod will probably kill your performance unless you have a decent rig

All right, but I don't think that's the fault of the combat. Things might be more interesting when you can no longer easily perma-light caverns (if he's still planning that), but maybe not. My guess is that he needs to redo the difficulty curve in order to make deep spelunking more challenging, and give you more to do in hell.

« on: December 27, 2010, 06:03:12 PM »The problem with playing on Not Peaceful is that the combat in this game is still just no good.
I think you're completely missing the point. The enemies aren't there so you can fight them. They're there to make it dangerous to go outside or into an unexplored cave. It's about being scared witless by hearing a zombie groan right behind you and you can't find him, or panicking when a creeper drops in front of you and starts hissing. I think the enemies do a decent job of making exploring a very uneasy experience, which I think is the point.

« on: December 27, 2010, 06:07:43 AM »Man, why the hell is Iron so impossible to find?
I've been digging quite deep (though the wiki says it has an equal incidence anywhere below sea level, really), but rarely do I find veins of more than two or three blocks. With the number of uses iron has, it's definitely a big limiting factor.
Too bad I can't turn Redstone Dust into iron, I have a metric fuckton of that.
are you literally digging down, or are you exploring natural caves? you might have more luck with the latter.
you definitely have to conserve your iron picks though because you need them to harvest diamond.

The nature of steam and its sales makes that sort of calculation sort of fussy. It's not like you can get rid of Steam games (yet), so it's entirely possible that I game I bought today won't be played for another year or two. Yes, economics states that money NOW is more valuable than money in the future, but I think that's splitting hairs (even more than I'm splitting them now).
If I buy a game on day 1 for $50 and don't play it until it's already dropped to $20, it's safe to say that $30 was spent unnecessarily. Steam sales, however, will generally put a game at the cheapest price it will ever be, so waiting a good deal of time to play them won't really change the cost of doing so.
But if the point is that steam sales will just nickle and dime you out of the same cash you would have spent on a full-price purchase, I can't disagree with that.
