“Munich, April 24: An international team of astronomers from Switzerland, France and Portugal have discovered the most Earth-like planet outside our Solar System to date.
The planet has a radius only 50 percent larger than Earth and is very likely to contain liquid water on its surface.”
It seem that every day were dramatically closer to finding actual life outside of our solar system. I cant imagine the day when we come across intelligent life elsewhere. How do you think the masses would react to such a thing?
It really annoys me to see a good movie or game that has been promises to have a sequel…that never shows up.
Boondock Saints was supposed to have a sequel; they even went so far as to give screenshots. What happens to the brothers? Do they keep killing, or do they just spend the rest of their life in a bar getting drunk off their asses?
Starcraft, the mother of all real time strategies, has left us hanging on a climax of events. We have been hanging for 10 fucking years. Blizzard even goes so far as to start Starcraft: Ghost, but never finishes. The first person shooter game that many Starcraft fan boys would have bought (me being one of them) never came out.
Well, I guess you cannot be surprised, after Blizzard made Warcraft 3 and just screwed up from there, somehow they are making millions. What would possess them to make a second Starcraft when it might not even live up to the reputation?
Well, perhaps the companies know what is best for money more than I do, but who are they making the games for?
With the recent success of Final Fantasy Advance on the GBA and Final Fantasy III 3D on the DS, Square-Enix has a new business model. A very…nostalgic business model. They are apparently remaking all of their old games again. So what will this mean? Will Cloud Strife have to come back to destroy Meteor and stop Sephiroth once more? Will Kefka once more roam the land of the living? What about the other games, such as Chrono Trigger? Will they become 3D as well?
Only time will tell.

In a shocking and unexpected turn of events, the self-proclaimed “school shooting expert”, gay rights activist, and all around unbiased gaming pal, Jack Thompson, blames video games for the Virginia Tech shooting. What game specifically? Counter-Strike, which is a “mass murder simulator” according to Jack Thompson. But then again, according to Jack Thompson, video games are the cause of global warming, 9/11, WWII, and the travesties of the innernets known as “4chan” and “myspace”. But the real kicker is that Jack Thompson is blaming the wrong company for Counter-Strike. Jack should be blaming Valve, as they are the creators of Counter-Strike, as opposed to Microsoft, which is the company he is currently blaming, which is just more evidence that Jack Thompson doesn’t know what the fuck he’s talking about therefore should shut the hell up. Jack Thompson even sent a letter to Bill Gates himself, in which he asks Bill Gates to “pull the plug on Counter-Strike.”
The copy of the letter is in this article, which is definitely worth reading as it’s a source to no end of laughs.
Well, hasn’t this turned into an interesting topic?
Half the world believes it, half is not, and all look to the media for their thoughts. Not once have I ever talked to anybody who has been able to produce any sort of scientific article, if it is from a magazine, or on the internet. Every single “unmuzzled” scientist has been talking through the media, and the rest say that it is natural. The republicans deny it, while the democrats think we need to so something and I am by no means a republican.

Written by a scientist
In fact, since the government controls so much of the media, despite what we call a democracy, it is hard to find scientific data on this. The fact that I was only able to get one article written by one scientist, whereas a couple years ago I could bring up sites that say humans contribute .22% to global warming, and 5% if you include water vapor, on every single site I went to including only science related topics, shows you what kind of proof the internet has. If I were to tell its reliability, I would send it to about 30%. Now all you will find are “nytimes” or “CNN” or “MSNBC” and those journalists writing “over 90% of global warming is because of humans”
Although, how can that be true, when ABC news tells us that 12% of global warming is produced by livestock?
“Do some math, the authors say, and you find that livestock is responsible for 18 percent of the world’s greenhouse gas problem.”
Oh well, go on believing every white lie the media spits out at you, and while your at it, suck Al Gores pathetic little dick.
It really took me surprise when a NASA employee took hostages and started to open fire. This isn’t really something you would expect out of a NASA employee for christ sakes!
HOUSTON - A NASA contract worker armed with a handgun killed a hostage and then himself after a nearly four-hour standoff Friday in an office building at Johnson Space Center, Houston police said.
The slain hostage, a man, was shot in the chest and was likely to have been shot “in the early minutes of the whole ordeal,” Police Capt. Dwayne Ready said. Initial reports indicated two shots were fired at about 1:40 p.m. CDT and another shot was heard about 5 p.m.
A second hostage, a woman, escaped after being bound to a chair with duct tape, Ready said.
I really fear that all of the coverage this Virginia Tech bozo is getting from the media is going to encourage other people, knowing full well it will get their face plastered all over the world for several weeks and certainly give any cause they have publicity.
That’s right folks, apparently Valve, the creators of the award-winning game series “Half-Life”, has been hacked yet again.
” MaddoxX, of the anti-Valve website No-Steam.org, has an ax to grind. He says he’s hacked the Steam servers in the past, swiping information. Up to now, it’s just been to prove a point — and score a few free games. In fact, MaddoxX says that he’s been tooling around on the Steam server’s back door since January. “I did try [to] contact them several months ago. At the time, I didn’t do anything harmful — just got [a few free copies of games] but never heard anything from them,” he says. “Later,” the steamed hacker adds, “I tried to warn them to fix bugs…but as usual, they don’t listen.”
The hacker apparently hacked the Cyber-Cafe servers, and stole tons of customer information and credit card numbers.
Valve REALLY needs to upgrade their firewalls and anti-hack devices. Either that, or like always they’ll use it as an excuse to delay Episode 2.
