Ah, I thought it was the more mundane travel time, misread :)

I've never understood this argument. I don't get how moving faster than the particles we perceive the universe through means you can time travel. How does moving outside of your light cone allow you to send messages to your past self? You're still doing all of these things in the present. Warp to a location outside…

Even without all those arguments, theres another factor of time people rarely bring up in all this. Civilizations die. Species go extinct. A civilization lasting 5 million years is nothing to this universe. Two space-faring species existing in the same localized area of the galaxy at the same era of time? Getting more…

You tear a lot of these arguments down by saying they're anthropocentric.... and then turn around and make your own anthropocentric cases.

That was fucking magnificent.

I think if the class warfare hadn't been so front and center and almost comic book villianous it would've been a pretty solid follow-up to District 9. I mean, it had the characters, the setting was interesting, the technology was sexy. I think if the story had followed Sharlto being another…

His reaction to the mines confuses me.... after playing Fallout 3/New Vegas as much as he has, is he not aware that you can disarm mines without almost any problem if you're sneaking?

To me its just a much more direct way of becoming a shareholder. Only without a lot of the legal oversights that that relationship has. Either way: literacy and an understanding of what you're willing to put up with is all thats required to not fuck yourself on a kickstarter as far as I'm concerned.

"Its always some fucking minor detail!"

If you think a language can be ruined: you're either poorly informed on how language evolves with people, or one of those pseudo-intellectuals who thinks remembering the use cases of who and whom is relevant to being a good person.

One of my favorites (don't remember its name) was a heavy or super-heavy that used a garage-door spring as a tensioner for a gigantic titanium spike on an armature. It literally punched a hole through the wedges vitals to the floor. It was glorious. All I remember is it was all green and I feel it had a lizard…

Yeah, he's just a clever enough bastard to make it all seem like that if he wanted. Like making an exceptionally well executed play in a MOBA with 2-3 randoms and then yelling "PLANNED IT!"

Is that all weapons? I thought it was just nuclear

Easily one of the best adaptations I can think of. That game was so glorious in so many ways.

"'hypotheticals' like people sharing one internet connection"

BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK BLOCK!

Thats... actually damned good point. Once money is involved, its only going to grow. Perhaps we should take bets on which mafia group gets involved first?

Sure, micromanaging every aspect of other people appearances so they're 'good' enough to represent your group is totally reasonable.

Ah god she was so great as Gabriel! Her and Peter Stormaire made that movie for me. Well, Djimon was a solid plus.

I'm still lost on when exactly it was decided that the Watchmen movie was bad. Like 2-3 years went by and everyone I knew was always like aw fuck yeah watchmen. Now? We have articles like this that take it for granted.
