I'd say the culprit is some kind of graphical enhancement effect, perhaps relating to only Nvidia or ATI cards. It's unlikely to be a texture issue, because that would affect everyone the same. Maybe something to do with fabric smoothing shader or shadow enhancement... something like that is my best guess.

Apologies, I did not mean to imply that I was a physical/geological/chemical scientist - it's not really appropriate to use 'mathematician' or 'scientist' alone, when describing my job, but I often do because I operate halfway between both titles and it's much easier than explaining what a statistical scientist is,…

I think, perhaps, I'm misusing the word or these groups should call themselves something entirely different, for this very reason. If I said 'Christians who accept science' instead of 'some creationist factions', it certainly has less baggage associated with it.

Yep, absolutely correct. I did not intend to imply that because the fluctuation of the speed of light could exist, that everything else they say is true because of it.

Scientists can't use figures of speech? Most people I speak to are not scientists, so it's common for me to break things down into layman's terms. If you prefer, I could amend my initial statement to say "until we have a statistically significant understanding of these examples at a 99% confidence level". The…

I'm a statistician working in economics and have done my time in bio-statistics, as well.

A figure of speech. I'm a statistician, specifically - obviously nothing is 100.0%.

Ha. Ok. So because creationism is unprovable, the 'other guys' automatically win?

True, and as I've said I don't think these 10 'arguments' are anywhere near the "top 10 claims made by creationists", but more accurately "the top 10 absurdities made by one or two quasi-creationist guys sometime ago and if I post it on io9, it should start a heated debate with potential for trolling".

Thank you, I was about to make this very point.

With the release of the ME Trilogy, actual copies of ME3 have plummeted. You should be able to grab it for $20-30 on ebay. All the DLC, including all the extra weapons and alternate appearance packs is roughly $30.

I have to imagine that cutscene costs half a million dollars a second to create. The facial motion capture alone must have cost them a staggering amount.

The best game for testing just how far you can be pushed before screaming so loud in frustration that the neighbors wonder if you were just murdered.

I'll say this... if I survive the apocalypse, the FIRST THING I'm doing is finding a pharmacy and having a hell of a month.

Not to mention the Reventon is 5x more expensive, $333k vs. $1.6M according to http://www.thesupercars.org, and what you end up with is a rear end that looks like it was designed by an 8 year old with only a protractor.

Lightice is right, you retards.

The problem is that marketing doesn't declare when it's being ridiculously literal (as you are) and when they are tricking us by vaguely implying features that don't really exist. When Bethesda said that you could 'ride' a dragon, the natural implication is that you would be able to fly/control it yourself.

Unrelated to the article but I'm using Chrome and sometimes the text in the game details box (the grey one on the right side) gets covered up by the big YES or NO images, as seen here. Also, I'm using the two panes view.
