  1. Most likely not, it is Australian And I've read it, otherwise I'd fail the course.
  2. Oh, yes. I totally forgot, it's dice.
  3. How so? A second or two can make difference between life and death.
  4. Lifting weights at all can be "abusing". I was weight lifting until began to feel pain in the back (no, I did it properly). Now I do only muay thai. No mass building, but I gain just enough not to be skinny, also feel more "in shape" than when lifting weights. Regarding how many times you lift in a set, lift smaller weight many times for definition, big weight few times for mass. At least that's what I read, can't be sure if it is 100% true.
  5. If it would be Gaussian distribution. But it is uniform, so you can expect any value between 12 and 120 with same probability.
  6. Because one should take weights that you can lift about 8-10 times if aimed for muscle building.
  7. Because of growing game budgets, a game needs to cater to wider audience to profit. Indeed, market changed. Games are now marketed to more people that have lives and can't afford to spend hours and hours gaming.
  8. I am actually looking forward for that game and if it will be good, I don't care if it is not "built upon" previous series.
  9. Hmmm, I can't choose what is better: world map or no sewers?
  10. This report made my day. :D Not only it is funny and true, but also has excellent format.
  11. I am interested in how Fallout could turn out and I don't hold some personal hate towards this developer.
  12. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ya, ya.....that should to the trick <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Should be: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Cure for disease itself doesn't come from green pigs. Green-glowing pigs means one more piece of information of how genes work, also more press for the lab (to show that lab is capable of genetic research). Reseach of cure for something is not like "Volia! Here is your freaking magic elixir to cure AIDS!". It takes years and years of fundamental research by different groups of scientists in different countries and collecting tiny bits of information, not to mention developing and deploying a working solution on the basis of fundamental research results.
  13. "It would take a miracle to win" sums it up pretty well. I'm only surprised it is not happening in US. And, yay for a weekly religion thread.
  14. Badgers, how could you forget badgers?
  15. Community Expansion Pack has it.
  16. Look at in in the wider perspective. Research achievement is rarely has a value in itself. You all are missing the point here.
  17. Maybe it is a matter of preference. I found Max user-friendly, though I couldn't figure how to do simplest things in Maya.
  18. I heard some scientists do it to convince general public that genetically modified food is absolutely normal.
  19. BTW Autodesk recently bought Alias (Maya developer). Autodesk owns discreet who develops 3DSMax, now both software pakages are owned by one company, so I think we can expect a new product line that has the best of both.
  20. But then you need to integrate your plugin back to the game engine which has a different API, plus writing a facial generation software yourself means more resources spent and longer dev cycle. As for superiority of Maya to 3DSMax, you just need a tool to do the required job, not the one "that is cool". That's why 3DSMax dominates in game development and Maya in cinematography. PS Max also has SDK that you can use to write plugins.
  21. Not to mention their hospitality.
  22. Unfortunatelly for you, halflings will stay and live well. I like halflings for being excellent rogues.
  23. Mostly like this...
  24. I wish that was true, but game's popularity today depends on marketing, not R&D department.
