Indeed. I've always considered the single use worlds as results of fairly recent colonisation. One cannot expect evolution to populate such a world with intelligent humanoids, but I'd argue that the probability of a spacefaring civilisation taking advantage of the natural resources of such a planet is reasonably good.…

4. The Single-Use World

It depends. If Kristin Stewart or Keanu Reeves died mid-film and were CGI'd into a couple scenes, how many could tell the difference?

Not CGI and still looks better than the vast majority of the CGI out there. CGI has it's place but should be used minimally. Not to create entire scenes.

That would be 1 hell of a mod, better textures in cars-wepons and other things. 1000 of hours gone into making animations and no money to fund it.

This is the one I was looking for.

We need to stop saying @Philae2014 is landing & embrace the fact it's stabbing 67P/CG w multiple harpoons & tying itself on.

I'd like to send a congratulatory message to Ubisoft on thwarting all those pirates that make their PC games so unprofitable.

You did it, guys! Give yourselves a pat on the back!

If I paid for a product, I damn well expect to get said product when it comes out. And in lieu of said product, I expect a refund. That's not entitlement, that's BUSINESS.

Mandatory trips to the ISS for all politicians.

Seems well made - surprised I never heard of it before. Hopefully it is completed before the C&D comes down.

Same. At that moment the whole movie changed in tone for me, becoming one of the best and most expensive parody ever.

I couldn't have put it better myself. Here's a nice fan art cover I found on deviantart:

Wrong. That kid is not morbidly obese.

It's the kind of idea that sorta-kinda almost makes sense, so long as you wilfully ignore the existence of record-keeping civilizations outside of Western Europe.

It seems like the widespread use of the internet is still so recent that it kind of overwhelms this entire topic. I'll focus on one particular use of the internet that seems silly, but is really revolutionary in its own way — finding out the name and performer of a particular song that you heard a snippet of on the…

While some people fear the sci-fi scenarios of "airborne Ebola" and the like, my fear is more mundane (and, sadly, realistic the longer this outbreak continues): I fear that Ebola will evolve into something LESS deadly.

Shooting the rocket into the cloud of gas wouldn't be that hard. Doing it the way they did it would be. If you are willing to light them off while holding them, you can be accurate enough to be able to make people have to dodge them. I know this from having older brothers.

Ensemble writing is difficult but it can be done. Babylon 5 felt organic. Had some teething problems in season 1, still came through. But all of that stuff needs to be solidified from the start and any new material must respect what came before. The retcons and completely ignoring prior episodes is what makes a show…
