  1. a-ha is very mainstream but I find they have poetic meaningfull songs and the singer is one of the best in the world. And Depeche Mode was very mainstream in the 80's and 90's.

  2. Well, of course giving them credit for games they only published is wrong. It's like saying Apogee made Wolfenstein 3D.

     

    Also, a very common mistake is that people say LJN made their own games, including AVGN himself. LJN has always been strictly a publisher and they used third party developers for their products. In fact, Rare got their start making games for LJN. Maybe not the best start, but they made up for it later on.

  3. I don't think whether something is mainstream or not matters that much in the end. Maybe if you're an elitist who thinks belonging to a certain scene gives you the right to say everything mainstream is inherently bad.

  4. I think what the fable is trying to say is that the Earth wasn't really created for us but we grew into the planet's environment. Again, if you believe that God did it, I applaud you. However, it isn't science and should not be taught as such in schools. Do you agree?

    I think both should be taught in school, and we as sentient beings should be allowed to choose for ourselves what to believe and respect each other's philosophies.

     

    I think the big problem with teaching "both" is that it's not just two options ("God" and "Evolution"). There are literally thousands, if not millions of "alternative theories" of creation and how we came to be and if we taught ALL of them, it'd take the rest of our natural lives to scratch the surface. Case in point: The Flying Spaghetti Monster.

     

    I don't believe that school should be teaching these kinds of philosophies as science because, well, it's not science. Science should remain in science class and you can put philosophy in the philosophy class.

    I agree with you there. I just don't think you should remove philosophy and religion from school. But I agree it would be wrong to teach it as science.

    I think both should be taught in school, and we as sentient beings should be allowed to choose for ourselves what to believe and respect each other's philosophies. Peace comes from mutual understanding, and I think having a good moral compass is what keeps us from going to war with each other. I'm not going to write too much more in this topic though, I've shared my opinion and that's all I can do. I'm not here to convert anyone or force my views on others.

  6. But that's the thing, it's a belief. It's nothing I can prove. So I cannot call creationism a scientific theory at all. For me the evidence just lies in how everything works like it does, how all the life on earth lives in a symbiosis. I'm a person who doesn't believe in coinscidences or that things do not have a purpose. But all of that is just faith, it's not science at all.

     

    I cannot disprove evolution, and I cannot prove creationism. What it comes down to is what I believe.

  7. I actually believe that we aren't the master species or anything or the only species in the universe. I believe God has created all life, yes, but not that we are in the middle of everything. I think the bible we have only tells the story about our world. I don't think it's impossible that God has created similar worlds with different life and with different purpose even. As I said in an earlier post, it's all very incomprehensible anyway.

  8. My first choice is the shotgun. Headshots + Sprinting can be an effective way to end fights. Especially with the second barrel option. I'll also usually avoid reloading maunually so I can get the pump at the end of the reload. It makes me feel badass.

     

    Then the magnum. The spin on the end of the reload makes it cool.

    Yes, it does. Dirty Gordon strikes hard with magnum force.

  9. One day a small unassuming orb decided to make his way to the bar at town's finest catwalk owned by Chinese people, who had glorious leader. Suddenly, a big nasty oval fell out of a mob spawner floating ominously above two crazy sluts in a car who just started to play Portal. The Chinese leader took a giant dump into the big mouth of a nearby dragon. He then sang like a tonedeaf cheesecake while hanging from the legs of small ornate brusselsprout in a tightly packed basket. After the dinner of the dragon and Chinese leader, they all swam to an island made of turtles connected by poop. The unassuming orb blamed the oval for ripping off all kinds of sweet chocolate cookies, as the copyright of justin bieber killed the pope. He then took a companion cube and walked slowly towards a missile at snail speed. All of this was an evil plan made by some incredibly insidious retard walking away. MIKURU BEAM he shouted out loud while listening to the annoying ramblings caused by a massive outcry from a 10 year old hacker who was a sith lord from a galaxy filled with portals. And everybody lived happily but they had no longer a soul with a very large energy flux, then all kinds of nasty people with pink lightsabers started to roll around, energy fluxes exploding and that created a black hole that sucked the unassuming orb back to the day when everything was governed by dinosaurs. "OH MY GOD!" he yelled and suddendly the dragon also appeared and they both yelled, but that only

  10. I think that's also the key to the success of games like Doom. They are simple.

     

    After all, games are entertainment, and games that are hard to play are not entertaining. Go figure.
