It might seems a short sited view in some respects to preserve an endangered species current habitat when radical climate shift would probably decimate its habitat just as much as a bulldozer (as ecologically fragile creatures wouldn't stand global warming if it is really "a thing"). On the other hand, the best solution would be one that preserves the habitats and reduces the carbon emissions I guess. I worry, though, that those best solutions are going to be at best limited and at worst impossible.

Robots will take care of old people But who will take care of the robots? WON'T ANYONE THINK OF THE ROBOTS? Your also impose death and suffering on your children. And why should they care about your "wisdom"? "I had to face my fear...that was more important than just going on living...a tear, Sarah Jane? No, don't cry. While there's life, there's..." It would be more logical to clone yourself. If he can't clone his own memory and experience, then we're back at your first complaint that he's imposing death and suffering and wisdom (not sure how those all correlate together, but I'll roll with it) on a "blank slate" entity so not really a good answer under those parameters. His best option is to be immortal and thus be ever able and eternally available to have plonkers hit him up for wisdom whenever they want at his guru mountain or something...

The George Pal 1953 THE WAR OF THE WORLDS. I love the sound effects for the martial heat ray and atom splitting ray. Oh and the rest of the film is pretty good to (if you like 50s Sci-Fi).

Correct me if I'm wrong but as far as I was told (so it's likely to be wrong) the arguement is that LP's generally fall under Commentary, Satire and Review, which would be fair use. EDIT: It's a ridiculously bad idea to mess with Let's Plays anyway, since 90% of my game purchases are based on "I saw an LP of a game that looked fun" and I'm not the only one (for example, the only reason Amnesia was remotely successful is because there were a lot of videos of people getting their pants scared off on YouTube). Technically, fair use covers excerpting certain elements of a work in order to comment about it. The late Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel could use clips of movies in their review show to give context to their review, but they couldn't show you the movie on tv commenting on it the whole time without having arranged to broadcast the movie. Similarly shows that did provide commentary (MST3K, for example) did so on public domain movies or else with the rights holder permissions to broadcast the copyright work. I'm a bit curious if people who made "Let's play" videos would be okay with someone capturing them all off YouTube and putting them on their own website? Would it matter if the creator was credited? Would it matter if the "someone" was making money off people going to their website (off the videos others made)?

Arguably radio created a model for sampling music from an album before buying an album.

As someone related to a schizophrenic I have to say your post is extremely ill-educated. Instead of making a point with no substance maybe you can elaborate a little more? At a guess, I'd say he's objecting to the characterization of a schizophrenic as someone who is liable to flip out and attack people at a moments notice. While in my understanding of schizophrenia I would say it is true that there are paranoid type classifications in schizophrenia and that it is possible for people suffering from paranoid delusions of persecution or outside control to want to lash out at others, the data as I recall shows a schizophrenic is - in general - much more likely to kill themselves than attack others.

Things I did today: Got backers badge after navigating the backers portal. Huzzah!

So...the answer to a kid whose "family felt that wealth bought privilege and there was no rational link between behavior and consequences" is to...give him no consequences for his behavior?

Hopefully it'll hit later - I imagine they'll want to promote it a bit before launching. That said I have yet to dislike an Obsidian game so I'd probably support a new kickstarter unless it, you know, sounded terrible or something.

Since the developers said they were only developing PE for the computer...well I'd say they did consider it and rejected the idea. That doesn't mean that, if PE is a computer success they won't go back and try to find a way to expand out to other user-bases, but it doesn't seem to me that - based on their statements - they have any interest in doing it right now and with the money from the Kickstarter.

This is the issue I was having. Thanks. I've sent an email cancelling my help request (I hope). How embarrassing the answer was so simple!

Its a good one, IMO, with some effectively creepy moments.

Nice, there can't be a few things more frustrating than a long trip to and from work Particularly when the drive - excluding "traffic" should only take 40 minutes...

No repercussions other than having to live with a fetus in her womb for nine months, deliver the baby and incur any medical costs related to same, plus financially and emotionally support the child for 18+ years compared to the guy having - at minimum - financially supporting the child for 18-21 years. Seems an unusually broad (pun not intended) definition of "no repercussions". Both parties get screwed, in several respects, in this scenario. That said, you'd have a hard time proving intent in a case like this without the "condom buster" more or less admitting to it (or the busted-on-party creepily keeping each used condom 'just in case').

Well after spending the last week commuting to a different place for work I'm back home. No more 1:30 to 2:10 commutes from home to work for now! Yay me.

Ever since Nixon sweated like a stuck pig on national TV in the 1960 debate, I'm pretty sure every President has a team of consultants getting them dressed. IIRC Nixon had a team telling him to wear make-up on TV so he didn't look ghostly and sweaty but he refused to listen to them...so...moral of the story make sure your consultants are good and that you listen to them.

I didn't care and thus didn't vote. Still don't really care. When I pledged money, I pledged money for them to make a "spiritual successor" to PST; beyond that the "how" I'm happy to leave to them.

...that's good You really are funny Amentep. I've only noticed it the last month or so. You are very good at your clever one-liners Thanks. Sometimes I get lucky.

Too many games with "Dragon" in the name - I couldn't figure out what "Dragon Derp" referred to...

Christmas Cannibal Party then? Dare not imagine what kind of toys would be in the Christmas Cracker at that kind of party.

MMMmmm...Moon Landing Conspiracy Theories. Always fun.

IMO the timing is poor with the holidays as well - I think most people will spread their money a bit more cautiously right now. If they retried sometime in February or May and maybe with a revised pitch I'm sure they'd do better.

And I hit the level cap (I played the game a whole lot before Dark Arisen came out and had never restarted) while hunting Death to finally kill and decided, what the hell, I'll start over from scratch. If nothing else it makes my storage area a lot...cleaner.

I'm counting on it. Well he posted elsewhere on Lieutenant General Adrian Carton de Wiart - hard to see him topping that but I'm intrigued to see him try...

His father had an interest in Tecumseh, the Shawnee leader who would have been from the Ohio area that Sherman lived, and had been fairly prominent in the midwest through Tecumseh's war and in 1812 when his confederacy of Native Americans joined the British in the war against the US.
