Jurassic park, a movie made in 1993, has more convincig CGI than most newer movies. It's actually some of the best CGI in movie history.

After months of rewriting plot and trying to be original I have realized that this is impossible, because no matter what you come up with, soon you find out someone has done it before. So stop worrying about using cliches ffs. I'm tired of people asking "Is this too cliched?". An idea alone is nothing. An idea that seems new and exciting can suck in the final result, while something like "farmboy saves princess" can turn out to be a hit.

We agreed that we won't use passwords. There are people who don't visit the AGS forums but have become regular guests in the AGS room and we don't want to exclude them all of a sudden.

Some of the best quotes so far:

space_boy: obi, i'm afraid i'll have to mute you unless you stop the random yelling.
obileo(with a very offended tone): i do that when i die! IS THAT RANDOM?!!

obileo(voice): stop telling me to grow hair!

(bicilotti doing some currency conversion)
bicilotti(voice): ... now we roughly divide by two or one million...

A little explanation: when I registered on stickam "space_boy" was already taken so I just picked "space_girl" and kept that for some time before figuring out how to change the display name...

Boyd and me were in an alternate dimension....

Yes, that's shading.

OMG, I knew the change to XNA would be a good decision!

You mean those aren't real?

I wonder when CJ will start his annual prank-topic.

Your arguments have been pretty weak so far. You are just an ad hominem gun.

Since it's ok to discuss that here I'm going to post the response to Emerald I pmed him earlier.

Yes, you said that homeopathy is fraudulent because they claim it works when it supposedly doesn't. Which is stupid, because by that same logic magicians are fraudulent because they claim that there's no bunny in the hat prior to tapping it with a wand. (What does that have anything to do with comparing magic to medicine?)

Magicians are not fraudulent because magicians actually don't hide the fact that their "magic" is just tricks. They may claim it to be "real magic" for the purposes of the show but an honest magician asked if he has real supernatural powers will say no. The comparison of medicine and magic is just pretty weak in my eyes for the reason i stated above.

All I'm saying is that ignoring the importance of things like religion, homeopathic remedies, chiropractors, acupuncture and anything else one might consider 'unscientific' is just plain ignorant.

These things have not been ignored and have been tested scientifically many times and just don't stand the test.

Over the course of history I'd say prayer, meditation, and placebos have saved far more lives than Paxil and Acetaminophen. Maybe not directly, but everyone knows at least one person who's found new meaning in life through the bible, or was cured from a disease/pain simply by believing in someone's healing powers.

Again, what you say there is unscientific and anecdotal.

'Debasing' people's personal beliefs on national television is about the most abhorent thing you could do, in my book. If you want to spread your own beliefs with like-minded people, that's fine, but making money through petty argument under the guise of "educating the world about these dreadful pseudo-sciences" is cockery most foul.

Like i said, lots of the people Dawkins fights against are actually a threat. He's not attacking innocent people for no reason. He has very good reasons to put the claims of these people to the test. They are not just private individuals who practice their beliefs for themselves. Their actions influence and can actually hurt other people.

What's with the cock obsession dude. Stop repeating that, we get the idea.

And the lovely Ivy has been ** drumroll** hijacked.

Oops, sorry. No more offtopic from me. I just felt I had to put some things straight, but we can take it to another topic.

Yeah, congrats Ivy! For some reason I thought I already commented on that... sorry again for messing up the topic. >.>
