Tale

That wasn't what you said originally. Lies and slander.

Still sounds like a waste of a gun.

What a waste of a gun.

This is the new design, by Alex Ross. I like some of it, but hate other parts. I can live with it. The gun indicates a more morally neutral Cap, which indicates either Winter Soldier, or someone new donning the mask. It won't last long. People don't read Marvel comics to see people shoot the villains unless they're reading Punisher. So many hero/supervillain conflicts in Marvel wouldn't last two pages if one guy just shot the enemy.

Pfft. Most girls don't need a guy to turn them against their boyfriend. You're just an excuse to justify their already existing resentment of their boyfriend.

I'm slacking at work. I believe the term is actually "cyber slacking."

I ended up buying Metal Gear Solid: Portable Ops over Amazon a few days ago. And now I find out we're about to get an expanded version. terrific

So now we learn of Sand's snuff film fetish. That's terrific.

Ein mehr. Then they're going to go over whether to continue releasing games as episodes or go back to the tradition model.

I thought the Orc caves were also pretty easy. They're spread out enough and your characters have levelled enough where they deal with them. I'm of agreement with Cant, it was just slow.

I thought Episode 2 was... I don't know. I'm not sure if I liked it or not. It does repeat somethings that it doesn't really need to. That whole using physics props with the gravity gun to cross dangerous "water" thing? Yeah, I FCKING HATE THAT! But, episode 2 includes it. I was glad to leave that behind in the original Half-Life 2. Otherwise, it's mostly good. Doesn't have as much new stuff as Episode 1 seemed to. Or maybe it did, it just had more repeated stuff + new stuff.

There's one point in NWN2 where I've almost had to use traps every time to get through without smashing my keyboard. The quest in the watch/thief lines where you must get the snitch from inside the house. That place is filled to the brim with enemies and if you try fighting them, there's a few places where two or three rooms worth of guys come at you all at once. I have to floor the place with every trap I've encountered up to that point in the game and just train as many guys as I can across them to the entrance. Takes ridiculous amounts of time to set up, but it gets me through it.

Neverwinter Nights 2 It would appear that the Grobnar did not recognize when I gave him the rune-inscribed whatever. It was in a bag in Khelgar's inventory and he wouldn't take it, but he'd talk like he was taking it. Then I move it into my characters inventory and he takes it! But, nothing updates. And I can't for the life of me get the ga_start_convo script to work using grobnar and 21_cs_construct as the first two values. I used to be able to do this kind of thing when it first came out! But digging around in here brings back memories.

It's something like the Warlock "gets a 25% discount since he never meets the spell component increased CL by 3" what?

The description for imbue item is absolutely terrible. Not because it's not descriptive, but because it seems hardly english.

Well, it can't be too complicated if I was able to have an even superficial grasp of it when I was in middle school back when I first read about it. However, some aspects of it when explored as thought experiments are immensely counterintuitive. Further, the implications it has for order of events and how faster than light communication can ultimately result in breaks in causality (as some people have supposedly put forth) are what are most interesting and most complicated to grasp. And that's what I plan on going over next assuming my fickle nature does not take hold of me tomorrow. I'm trying to put it in words that are relatively easy to follow, as well, as the intention is to teach for those who may not have any particular education in even so much as physics. Or at least as simply as I reasonbly can without doing any serious planning. But, my ADHD makes my train of thought drift, so I'm probably getting off track. If anyone wants to add something, feel more than free to jump right in. Add, clarify, discuss, elaborate, take over, whatevah!

No.

Captain America is back.

They taste like candy.

I hated those gates with a passion. I hated fighting Clanfears with a passion. I could not fight a Clanfear without having to rest afterwards. It didn't matter if the Clanfear never saw me, he still took most of my health away. And they only got stronger?! JIMMINY CRACKHOUSE! But, my first time playing it I did play it all the way through. I beat the main quest, I beat the thieves, I beat the brotherhood. After that, I wanted a set of glass armor. When it came to the point that every light armor wearing humanoid non-civilian in the entire game had glass armor, I just didn't know what to do anymore. And all I wanted was a helmet that nobody wore. And even trying to replay it, I just can't shake that experience of the "end game." I can't play a game where I fight through annoying gates and clanfears just to be met with no real personal goals or achievements to strive for.

I agree. Personally, I'm wanting to draw some diagram, so if you could hook up some touchscreen functionality that I can use with my DS when I get home that'd be terrific.

If I were to become a spy for Britain would this qualify as treason even though they're an ally?

And as an aside, and part of why I love this subject, I'm almost certain that I've already messed up somewhere and gotten something wrong.

So, what have we established? We've established now that the speed of light is invarient for all observers/reference points. This is included in the second postulate of the Special Relativity Theory (SRT). The first postulate, as we went over, is that for all frames of reference, the physical laws of the universe are the same. Let us say that two objects moving through space are A and B. A is travelling at 1/2 the speed of light towards object B. A emits light. We might therefore expect the light emited by A to have a total velocity of 1 1/2 the speed of light. The second postulate of SRT says "NEIN!" The light emited by A is still only going the speed of light, c. However, according to an observer at A, the light emitted by A is also going the speed of light! This is weird behavior. If A was instead going 5 miles an hour and threw a softball 1 mile an hour, the softball would be going 1 mile an hour from the perspective of A, but 6 miles an hour from the perspective of B. It really wouldn't matter if A was going 5 miles an hour, 1/2 c, or 9/10 c, the difference in these two situations is that one is dealing with a 1 mile an hour softball and the other is dealing with the speed of light. But again, according to the first posulate of SRT, are they really that different? And now hopefully we see the complication. The true difference in the 1 mile an hour softball and the speed of light in my examples is only a matter of scale. The same laws and effects are in play, the only difference is that the effect is unappreciable at the slower speed of the softball scenario. I mentioned consequences of this earlier. There's more consequences to this and I'll be going over them in a bit.
