    The Astronomy Thread

    From what I understand, photosynthesis is the only natural occurrence that creates O2, since O2 usually bonds with carbon to make CO2. (I may be butchering this statement with my ignorance). Would finding a planet with a rich oxygen atmosphere draw a probable conclusion of the presence of...

    The Astronomy Thread

    Question about Kepler 452b, and sorry if this was already asked: how long will it take to determine its atmospheric composition?(if we even have technology/instruments that can do that) Also, are there any other hints in the data we receive from extrasolar planets besides oxygen in the...

    Fallout 4

    The way I'm playing now addresses most of this, except for the endless bottle caps and weapons: hardcore, realistic weapon damage(RWD), and project nevada for gameplay. Limbs are crippled from a few hits (or one big hit like a hunting rifle or nearby explosion.) Headshots will either kill or...

    Ant Man. July 2015

    We need Fantastic Four to bomb so either the rights will go back to Marvel or Fox will be willing to make a deal. Getting Doom as a villain would be nice, as long as they don't waste the opportunity and throw him away. At the end of the movie the heroes unknowingly stop a sophisticated...

    Planetside 2

    Be careful what you wish for. SOE could patch nothing but higher res textures and the framerate will drop 50%, lock ons stop working, and your latency goes up by 40. I wish I wasn't giggling to myself as I post this but damn if it isn't true. (They do a good job with hotfix patches the next...

    Hi guys, just a quick update on the server. Last night someone from China tried to hack into the server. The provider put the box into recovery mode, and Jeri has to reinstall just about everything and start over on setting up the box from scratch. I think the data files for the world will be...

    The Elder Scrolls Online

    I'm with you. Fallout online has to be a sandbox pvp mmo of total anarchy. There's no other real option. No soulbound loot and only a few pve settlements run by npcs on the fringes. If you die, just forage through junk, then beat someone to death with a lead pipe while wearing a motorcycle...

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    I didn't finish 3. Had the ending spoiled for me. However, in the codex for 1 and 2 I remember them saying that even with the relays only 2% of the galaxy was explored. Game could have been in another part of our galaxy, far enough away to be new, but close enough to the things we are familiar with.

    There's an article where Obsidian said they would still like to do another Fallout. I do believe they mentioned they learned a lot(which means they won't take a contract to kill themselves releasing it in a year). On my phone but found it...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    Firearms were invented in the 13th century. I don't think it's too much of a stretch to make gunpowder and melt down scrap metals to make guns and bullets.

    How do you expect to have Lebron on the best offensive player on the defensive end and expect him to maintain offensive effectiveness without fatigue setting in?

    Server was updated to version 1.3.1, and the map was reset late last night. If you want to experience that new map smell, now is the time. Jeri and I are going to be out but Daliena is running things on the server. You can still reach us with PM's.

    Soccer 2014 - 2015

    I believe you have to convince a federal grand jury to get an indictment when the US government moves forward with federal charges. Evidence and testimony is required; a federal judge won't let you move forward with just probable cause. If the US is going this far there is a good chance they...

    I'm only 36 and haven't dived into the NBA's past as much as a diehard fan. Not trying to discredit any of the great players from past eras, but I don't know them besides their names and that they were good.

    NBA 2015 Playoffs Thread

    I should have clarified that I'm perceiving what some people think, not what I think. I don't think clutch and stuff like that is any greater in Jordan or Kobe than it is in Lebron. It's unfair because his size and skillset means he can do it all, so people expect him to do it all. If Lebron's...

    NBA 2015 Playoffs Thread

    LeBron has a bit(just a bit, he's already one of the GOATS) more to go before I put him past Kobe imo. I think being as physically dominant as LeBron is hurts him. A 6'8", 260 pound guy should be dominant and I think the standards are higher because of it. Jordan and Kobe weren't bigger, so when...

    Mad Max: Fury Road (2015)

    I don't remember what Max said exactly, but I figured the salt flats were just big salt flats. They don't know what lies beyond, and the fact that it is an unknown with a poor chance for anything better is intimidating. You could ride and get murdered by another desert tribe, or turn around and...

    Klaw left a store with a pack of gum he forgot to pay for. After serving his prison sentence and being branded a thief, he got an honest job in construction. His foreman was nice enough to let him borrow his black range rover for a holiday, but he accidentally grabbed the top secret government...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Denaut, I don't disagree that the system is bad. Infinity engine games are the only thing involving 2nd ed D&D that I would still touch. I think I was mostly having an argument with myself comparing the variety of fights that take place since that came up at some point a number of posts ago...

    The Dallas Cowboys Memorial (2015 Off-Season) Thread

    I'm glad he's going to be playing at least 5 Divisional games. Dolphins, Bills, and Jets all went crazy on their D-lines this year. If we can't beat them at full strength then we aren't going to get far in the playoffs anyway. I think the punishment is fair because it sets the precedent to...

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Currently playing BG2 again as a Fighter/Mage/Thief. BG2 had so many ways to win and lose fights. Lots of fights where tank and spank wasn't happening. Buffs and debuffs alone was a game. Globe of invulnerability, stoneskin, spell deflection, spell turning, protection from energy, spell...

    They are good without him. They went 11-5 with Matt Cassel and missed the playoffs because they lost the tiebreaker to Miami, who was also 11-5. Edit: Personally I think it's a lot more Belichick than Brady.

    I thought Jeff Ireland was going to fuck us again because he's with the Saints who picked at 13. He probably thinks he did screw us by picking a tackle though. Feels weird having a front office that looks competent.

    Miami's WR corps is Jarvis Landry, DeVante Parker, Greg Jennings, Kenny Stills, and Jordan Cameron at TE. I have never been so stoked to finish 9-7 and maybe get a wildcard spot.

    Pillars of Eternity, Obsidian's new CRPG in the vein of Baldur's Gate

    Disagree. It will roll back around to PoE discussion soon. Someday we will have a thread for another RPG that's like BG/NWN/POE/SWTOR/infinity engine, and the wave of nostalgia will overcome us as we wax poetic about the older games in the wrong thread. If we started talking about CoD or...
