I'm guessing an ND artist just mistook it for the official one. I don't buy Booths argument that they'd have to licence the official map. I respect that he just wants his due for his work but his reaction was incredibly over the top.

A science you are not an expert in.

Ignore him, one day he's an expert in game design, another he's an expert in anatomy. He always seems to be an expert in the field he needs to prove his point.

I just don't get what your point is here. Losing in board games is just more fun? That competitiveness in video games makes it boring if you lose? I love board games but this argument just doesn't work for me. It's not something that's defined by the medium, but by the games themselves. There are video games where…

Being a hyper competent combatant isn't the entire problem though. You're right that plenty of games and stories have powerful protagonists who win against increasingly insurmountable odds and innumerable enemies. It's the fact that he's indestructible, which takes away any challenge or tension. Fighting a horde of…

The examples you presented still present problems though, with his ridiculous speed what's to stop him from simply solving both problems? I mean delivering medicine? While sources vary on how fast Supes actually is the general consensus is "pretty fucking fast", I'm pretty sure he can still stop Lex and deliver the…

I'm not talking just about console wars though, I'm talking on a much broader scale. And I'm not comparing them to the Japanese either (which at any rate is more due to xenophobia than nationalism), nationalism isn't a contest.

That's a bit of an over-exaggeration. The US is a large market, but it's still part of a larger global market. And this is precisely what I mean, Americans nearly always overestimate their importance on a global scale. And with Japan it's generally more xenophobia than it is nationalism.

And as Satan is like the serpent, twisting and slippery so are his agents on this earth. So are you. You would twist scripture and faith in God to mislead and deceive, but God sees plainly. As may any mortal man who looks upon the lies of Satan with God in his heart. You answer not the question put forth to you false…

And that is what you believe, and if you confess that I believe you. However neither your belief nor your confession of the resurrection mean that you understand or believe in his teachings. It is one thing to believe in Gods existence, yet another to serve him. Your confession is no more than misdirection sinner,…

That's largely because destroying things is fun, and it's totally in character for the Hulk to go on a rampage. For goody two shoes Superman? It's not. Secondly in terms of durability and power they're definitely in the same league. But the Hulk has limitations, and the problem with Superman is he doesn't have those…

It's hard to make a good Superman game because Supes is a terrible superhero. There's a reason he's often referred to as a god, he essentially is. The only reason why he has to have a ridiculous token weakness is because otherwise there's precious little other ways to challenge him. Stories thrive on tension, tension…

Doesn't matter, they're still American companies. Besides Microsoft is primarily a software/ enterprise services company. Not hardware. So yeah, most of what they sell does not come out of China.

I do know this. And I know that you have not been saved, and you will never be saved unless you seek to save yourself. You have not been indwelled by the Holy Spirit false prophet. The teachings of Christ are still clouded to you. You believe you know them but your words betray you, for you only know the teachings of…

Wait what? Unless you're importing used or stolen goods then SEGA did see money from your purchase. Your purchase from an import retailer is little different from a domestic purchase from a domestic retailer. The content creator still gets their due, otherwise the import retailer wouldn't have product to sell you.

Actually if you want to play imports you'll generally use a tool or modification and your existing hardware to do it. PS2 region locking could be bypassed with a special disc and a tool called a slide card that let you unlock and pull out the disc tray without commanding an eject. On the Wii an incredibly easy soft…

Does Apple provide parental controls? If so are they a relatively recent addition?

"we don't hate or make fun of other Americans for buying or liking American things"

I think you mean Xbots. But the insults also come in a Nintendo flavour with Wiitards. I've been racking my brain trying to think what insult is generally used for Sony fans in the west. There's gaystation of course, but that refers to the console.

I just entered Song of storms when I got started last week. My townsfolk keep humming it, no wonder it's always raining. Mine looks a little different from the one here. Might have to check that out.
