But we can! All we need to do is ask God!

Maybe I missed something(through the off-topic silliness no doubt) but isn't the closing of the ozone layer a good thing? Wasn't the hole itself a bad thing? Oh I know! I should Wikify it! EDIT: Ok so it's bad at low altitude, which it is both involved in the formation and removal of smog, but all fine and dandy in the stratosphere.

no kidding... i did call it a nit, right? sheesh. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes and I called it WOW.

I thought Hades was a man. Or a boy. You can learn something every day!

yes, they are. but the behavior of clouds in the atmoshpere dictates that at some point they will rain out. it is cyclical. just a nit, but definitely bad science. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh is that how rain works? It comes from clouds? Clouds are rain pillows? WOW! It's called Science-Fiction for a reason.

It's a manzeer! Maybe he's the gay X-Man(or is that Cross-man?) everyone seems so interested in?

Aren't those clouds the "damage" in Matrix? They blocked the sun permanently.

..."you seem to have taken this as a joke". No s*it Sherlock! Love the music!

(w00t) Now if only Cinemaware/1C/Elemental Games could do the same...

There is no problem. We(humans) need to waste time.

Haven't you seen Star Wars Episode 1 The Phantom Menace?

When you think about it, all forms of entertainment are a waste of time... When you have a few hours to kill you can watch TV, a movie, play video games, read a book, sleep, write or do something with friends if, unlike me, you have some. Thing is, "waste" is a pejorative term. I'd rather think of video games(and other forms of entertainment) as a hobby. It's relaxing also and most RPGs are slow pace and you can just sit with a mug of coffee and relax. Also, not all CRPGs are slow-paced pnpDnD adaptations. Have you tried Wizardry 8, Deux Ex, System Shock, etc? And how many CRPG Devs out there? Bioware, Obsidian and Bethesda(there are others, small and struggling to survive etc but come on, we only care about those 3) and that small list kind of limits the variety because they all have their own way of doing things(although Obs is a wildcard). Ultimately Glinth you're overreacting. And it happens to a lot of us. What helps me in these "hard" times is to write a game design document. Write down what you would like in your CRPGs. It helps. Good luck! :D

Who the frak made Bumblebee a Camaro??!! The movie MUST be financed in part by General Motors?

What is "the average joe" anyway? Is anyone here not an "average Joe"?

Did someone mention those touchscreens in DOOM3? Dem purdy teevees woz nize.

Must... hold... rage...

Good point... Like oil?

And in the rest of the world? You know, beyond the forbidden zone of the US frontier?

What do you mean by "the possibility"? Life is the process of dying. "As soon as you are born, you are dying". Death is inevitable. And so on and so forth.

We should still wait until the fight begins. Who knows, maybe Wii will win?

well, yes and no. it's not like we're cutting trees down without replacement. certainly not ALL plant-life is being replaced, but much of it is (fly over washington and you can see the new growth, btw). also, plants and trees are not the only carbon sinks in the world. taks <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes, trees are being replaced. In some places. I'm more worried about the rain forest, the "lung of the earth", which is not being replaced(fast enough). There is also a difference in replacing trees for the purpose of keeping the environment healthy and for pretty landscaping... Plants are not the only carbon sinks, no. But how many species/organisms release oxygen as a result of CO2 consumption(I'm just asking out of curiosity)? And are they compensating for the loss of vegetation?

CO2 is essential to life: Plants, including trees, consume the C and reject the O2 in the air for us to breathe. It's called photosynthesis. However, since there are less plants and trees every minute of every day... Well, you get the picture.

Well yeah, you can't have X-Men without Cyclops, silly!

And System Shock 2.
