Erich Wrote:This totally. Because, that does accurately portray the video game industry now and if you deny that anyone doesn't take part in that to a slight extent (that goes through a regular publisher, Activision, EA, Nintendo, other japanese ones) you gotta be fucking stupid.

Corn Wrote:ValvE doesn't really take part in it, as they make sequels that are actually enjoyable and different.

L4D2 is debatable.

Seanny Wrote:Yeah, read that today. Agreed so hard. Its a shining reminder why I haven't really bothered with a PS3/360. I won't deny there are eye-catching gems in there. But as a whole, I end up prefering my handhelds and downloadable titles over the big bucks games.

Realistic graphics doesn't really sell to me: Its easy to mocap and scan faces day in and day out. You get great quality graphics sure: but as the article expresses: the work never stands out.

I respect being creative and making interesting art and design styles far more. (Bring back Timesplitters :'[ ) Activate my imagination, rather than the part that checks to see if everything is porportional. Kinda like a mechanically done drawing vs. freehand...

Quote:Being a scientist has to be tough. They spend their days staring down microscopes, knowing full well that when someone asks, "What do you do for a living?" any answer they give is going to elicit nothing but blank stares.

When it comes to dealing with people who believe in creationism, it's got to be especially tough. Typically, scientists shrug it off as a fact of life, knowing that no matter how much evidence they collect, some people will simply never accept it.

Creationists tend to be less resigned, and often try to prove the legitimacy of their theory by compiling lists of scientists who doubt evolution. All in all, hundreds of these lists are circulated. When you take a close look at the list of supposedly well-respected members of the scientific community, you notice that they often include television writers and lawyers, and that the people listed as actual scientists either weren't actual scientists, completely disagreed with that statement they supposedly agreed with, or don't actually exist.

Deciding they'd had just about enough of this bullpomegranate, The National Center for Science Education decided to compile a list of their own -- one with very, very strict guidelines. Each scientist who signed had to agree that creationism was, in fact, silly and that it should not be taught in schools. They had to be from an area of science where their expertise was actually pertinent and, finally, because this apparently needed to be stipulated, they had to be an actual scientist. Oh, and in order to sign, you had to be named Steve or a variant thereof. As it stands, over 1000 Steves are on the list, including Stephen Hawking.

Explaining the reasoning behind the stunt, the scientific community noted that they could have easily compiled a contradicting list of tens of thousands of signatures. But focusing on scientists not named Steve would have taken too much time, and they had things to do.
