Which is really unfortunate, you never see anyone on the professional level talk about TES series from a perspective before Oblivion.

One should note that North Korean archaeologists are horribly trained and often have destructive techniques with half-assed records. Any "discovery" should be taken with a grain of salt as we're not likely to see any well-documented scientific publication released by North Koreans.

Wooly mammoth DNA might be too corrupted to resurrect in elephants but I'm sure unicorns, being clearly more recent, will be ressurected in horses by the scientific community of North Korea.

Considering how much work was done on the game, they most likely kept at least key assets.

Actually I'd say the fieldwork is some of the best parts, next to the late night drinking sessions :)

It was human waste. We did find some donkey dung but that was just there by coincidence (or, in some cases, a very modern donkey's favorite spot). To be more precise, the dung was packed against the foundation stones to keep the foundation stones precise, and there was also a lot of crystallized piss.

I spent a week in my last dig in Petra, Jordan hacking through fossilized poop with a pickaxe. On one hand, it was a relief not to have to go so carefully (we had just gotten through a giant ash layer that was just chock full of artifacts). On the other hand, the fossilized poop was easily the densest material we had…

You should also mention that Colbert has a cameo part in one of the films (he won't—or can't say which one).

Ah, I read a line in the article "You know, he and I hadn't even met in person yet" and read "hadn't" as "havn't."

Gamers? No, people are jerks. That being said, there's absolutely nothing to be learned here. The author meets people online and allows relationships to move way too fast. An incredibly small fraction of online relationships actually work out in real life, and she takes out her DS and buries her face in it without a…

If you read through Iwata Asks and a lot of other Miyamoto-related interviews, you'll realize he's the George Lucas of the video game industry. Had a lot of great ideas during the more humble beginnings of his career and as time went on, someone to say "no, that's a bad idea" became essential to craft great games…

I loved getting a glimpse at Monroe's crazy face when he finally when at it with Miles. It was pure rage, shame they didn't give you a good shot at it.

And then when you throw in the awkwardly animated sex scenes where all participants have their underwear on, you wonder why BioWare even tried with ME and DA.

Hawkeye #4 was pretty decent but the art threw me off—it was neat and I like that they kept it stylized, but man, Aja just does a wonder with Hawkeye. He tells a story with the art, much more than I've seen with most other Marvel/DC art (didn't Aja do Iron Fist?).

Well I'm not arguing against the visualization. Originally I was arguing against the person that said Avatar belonged more than Looper did, and then I was arguing against Avatar being exceptional at "world building."

Well if you read my post again, you'll see that I agree with you—it's a thing sci-fi does. But that's my point, James Cameron didn't do anything new or exceptional with Pandora, so what makes his worldbuilding exceptional? Sci-fi wise, it's just the best visualization of sci-fi stereotypes.

Hahahaha, okay. If you say so.

See, that's the issue. You state that the differences between Pandora's ecosystems and Earth's were mostly cosmetic and there were no fundamental changes in being conceptualization. The thing is, evolution would've created completely different environments on Pandora. It's not realistic. But then again, it's a…

Really? Have you missed every shot of Thorin Oakenshield ever? He looks like Mr. Serious Face and quite badass about it too.

Mine is "Mahgah." That's my name pronounced in Korean, although even few Koreans recognize it. Most Koreans prefer to call me "mah-kuh" or "Mark" with a Korean pronunciation instead.
