He's also not a scientist, but that doesn't stop him from pretending, either.

Does this mean he'll give the expanding earth nonsense a rest for a bit?

I've tried to play Daggerfall. Still haven't gotten out of that damn starting dungeon -_-

A random hypothesis off the top of my head: are we sure ALL Falmer were enslaved and blinded by the Dwemer? Could there be a few tribes which survived independently? Certain things pre-Morrowind suggest this possibility.

You should tag this as #corrections, bro

In the Morrowind expansion Bloodmoon, you can actually discover the lost grave of the Snow Prince, along with his enchanted spear, on the frozen island of Solstheim. The term "Falmer" appeared during that quest, but I'm not sure if that's the first mention of it in the series. Previous TES games had characters with…

Hell, they should include both. Recreate my old D2 Spear/Javazon in Skyrim.

Let's just eingedeutscht them all.

Point well taken. I just try not to set my hopes too high, usually.

The same reason io9 looks at minor info releases and set pics for movies? People are curious.

Play the Morrowind expansion Bloodmoon. The first appearance of that book is actually IN HIS GRAVE. You get to take the spear and everything. So, downside is it's probably not a spear confirmation for Skyrim, but not impossible.

I don't care if she's a thief or not; the assault on her was monstrous and inexcusable. End of story.

No, 24fps did not make film what it was or is. It was only chosen because it was enough to function (smooth motion, audio syncing). Why not higher? Film: it's fucking expensive.

Because the nice salesman at the store told them it was better, and they don't like thinking for themselves.

I have been an ass. I did not research before piping up. However, your original comment is still silly because 3DTVs are irrelevant to the topic at hand. Theatres (where available) will be showing the movie at 48fps, and projectors do not halve the frame rate.

Sorry for assuming you were speaking on the topic relevant to this comment thread, and you still don't know what you're talking about. First, NTSC is ~30fps, not 24. Second, 3DTVs have (and require) much higher refresh rates than normal TVs so that they can display a sufficient framerate per eye with the active…

You seriously think you're getting only 12fps per eye in 3d movies? If that were true, you'd be seeing a slideshow. It's already 24fps (or more) per eye.

This is silly. It's nice that he realized math and numbers are not hardwired, that they must be learned, but it is a non-sequitur to then conclude that it is some sort of cultural construct. It is conceptual. The only thing about it you could call a cultural construct is notation (the language used to communicate…

"We" being people who insist on maintaining in their minds a false association of unrelated things. The rest of us will avoid tossing the baby out with the bathwater.
