I'd be interested to hear someone's defense of Prometheus. I thought it was a genuinely bad movie by just about any metric and I have a deep love for the fiction it claims to be a precursor of.
Thank you Patrick. Though many shout down those trying to make the world even a slightly more friendly place, it does my heart good to see people with a voice, like yourself and those running this site, taking a positive stand on these issues.
This is the first comment I've posted in many months because I've been so exceedingly frustrated with how cruel and thoughtless people are in these forums. (Of course, it's not just these forums, but just about all forums.) Whether it's anonymity or some other factor, the notion that people are so hateful to those trying to bring awareness to an issue or trying to help others is disgusting. Unfortunately, I see no hope for things getting better any time soon.
One thing I can tell you for sure, if you get Endless Space it will make your mac burn with the heat of 1000 suns; so much so on my macbook pro that I decided I didn't feel comfortable continuing to play is lest I break something. I'll be giving FTL a shot later tonight but based on the images, I don't think it's going to be all that taxing on the system.
I look forward to the day when the English language is comprised of nothing more than a bunch of guttural utterances because we just can't be bothered to give a shit about spending all that time and effort to to form our mouths to pronounce our words. And what is written language if not a series of letters jammed haphazardly together to get us somewhere in the vicinity of the sounds of those words. Forget that Scrabble is a game about "spelling" and embrace making noises that get you close. That way everyone can be a winner and no one has to feel bad about being uneducated.
