It'll happen once the majority of Americans move into the triple digits in terms of their IQ. People who believe in god in the first place are idiots.

People who deny the existence of something when it hasn't been proven false, then proceed to call others who believe in it idiots are idiots.

Yay maturity.

Because that's totally how science and rational thinking operate.

Le sigh.

There have been "miracles," empirical evidence, that has not been explained by science. This does not mean there is a higher power, though it also means it should not definitively rule it out.

Le fuck off

@SeriouslyNow: I agree that that argument is pitifully weak and that the existence of a spaghetti monster defies all logical thought. Fuck off with that argument.

"Miracles."

...

Remember when I was talking about that majority of Americans that's still sitting in the double digits in terms of IQ? THAT'S YOU. Ahahahahaha.

I also love how the you failed to understand who bears the burden of evidence when making a claim. "Failure to grasp." Those three words seem to come up a lot around religious nut bags.

To be fair what you said makes you look ignorant and full of yourself. Coming from someone who doesn't believe in God.

Would you say the same if I were to say that fully grown adults who believe in Santa Claus were also idiots? If so, then your judgement of me is consistent, but I have a feeling you'd agree with me. How is believing in a different make believe entity any different? I have a hard time stopping myself from laughing when I hear people talk about "God".

who cares, the game is a piece of shit anyways

@Sparky_Buzzsaw: Why would you get a Kindle Fire when you could get a Blackberry Playbook for $200? The Playbook is on par hardware wise (even better actually) than an IPad2 and has a great OS, especially after the 2.0 update.

I'm not sure I believe. I'm pretty sure Rockstar wouldn't let someone off their NDA just because they no longer work there.

Pretty much this. I've drafted enough contracts to know that the CA clause in every contract I've written, signed or read is binding for many, MANY years (if not forever). The clause only expires if the information referred to in the clause itself goes public (in this case, Rockstar revealing this shit officially or when the game finally releases).

I'm calling horse shit on this one.

It probably has something to do with the fact that it sucks. Just putting that out there.

Clearly video games are serious business. And then people wonder why there's a 1% and a 99%...the 1% are busy caring about their lives while the 99% are busy caring about stupid shit like video game endings.

@Xeiphyer: I never said that it's impossible to find emotional resonance with characters in media, I said that the characters (and their visual depictions) in the Mass Effect games were laughably plastic when compared to characters in other games. I was trying to say that the characters in Mass Effect were pretty shit when talking about how real they felt.

@Peanut: lol mad Mass Effect nerd. I don't need to name those games, you should know perfectly well what they are, after all, most of them pioneered character animation techniques.

I find it hilarious that people actually feel attached to Mass Effect's characters, particularly because they look and act in such a plastic non-realistic manner (especially when compared to characters in other games). It's true: throw in some nerdy sci fi tropes and you can convince the stereotypical rpg nerd gamer that even dog shit tastes like skittles.
