For what it's worth, I missed Villager being selectable as well. I got a little excited when a "random" CPU showed up as Villager, thinking I'd broken the code.

Thanks very much! I took code #3.

Here's one person that's interested, if you're feeling generous.

His enthusiasm is endearing, but this is full-on, History-channel, "it was aliens" crazy stuff.

Sure I did, and I sealed it with waterproof paint. That doesn't grant the construction structural integrity (i.e. its ability to support weight or impact), it just prevents water from soaking in.

I've built a canoe that fit two grown men out of cardboard. It was seaworthy and basically indestructible. Don't underestimate good construction.

I really like the CinemaSins videos, but it did bug me a little that their note on the RC car was wrong - as anyone who's ever owned one of that type can tell you, they do drive in circles when you let the wheel go. That's how they can get away with having only a single axis of control.

They don't - obviously. Again, the point of the article was to answer this question:

That wasn't really the point of the article - it was saying that, by not mentioning those things, Blizzard's silence was deafening. Because it said nothing about them, it means that it's not using its position as an industry leader to actually do anything differently (re: crunch, etc.).

Wow. I don't know what I was ready to watch, but it definitely wasn't that. Hooooly cow.

Honestly, this guy's a pretty good storyteller, in-game actions aside. That was a really well-paced video.

I loved this game. It was one of the first things that got me really interested in the Star Wars EU - the little pieces of lore and the sheer depth of the cards available were fascinating.

Language is, by its nature, arbitrary and non-static. It is entirely defined by popular use, and not by any single person's particulars.

See: other replies. I'm all metaphor-ed out. They in question didn't modify anything. They downloaded something.

I agree with you - I don't think it's intentionally deceptive. That's why I wrote what I wrote - as someone who's been on the other end of this, I feel like someone is overstating their part when I see it done.

C'mon, now you're just being difficult. The distinction is an easy one: Did you do any work worth speaking of? If so, you've got a claim on some credit. Spending five minutes, or thirty minutes, or whatever it takes to install a mod - that's not any real effort.

I can't really speak to the depth of installing mods for Skyrim - I've only ever downloaded one or two. That said, I can't see how you can pretend like spending half an hour or so setting something up to be any real effort. Especially when you consider the dozens of hours it takes to actually make something.

Like I said above, it's not an issue of semantics, for me. I understand that one could say "I cooked dinner" if he just microwaved something, just like I understand someone could say "I modded my game" if he just installed something. Either way, it's a disingenuous statement, denotations aside.

But you are cooking! You even used the word cook in your example about how that wasn't cooking!

No, you didn't. You're not "cooking" because you bought a TV dinner and cooked it in the oven.
