  1. Without those missiles we' probably would be dead already.
  2. Not to mention three months ago Japan Crippled the pacific fleet at pearl harbor, so considering those factors if you saw something that looks like a plane where none should be what would you do?
  3. Look at it this way, is it better to live under the threat of nuclear weapons or live in a world where the destruction of nuclear weapons is unknown, where whoever has the more powerful military has a better chance of winning a war.
  4. The most primal emotion humans has is fear of the unknown. Having the ability to solve the mystery takes away from the horror of it, because once you know the cause it's no longer an unknown. Those skeletons in the tub could have been from before the war, or they could have been from anytime afterwards. You'll never know if it was a pre war serial killer who died just after committing the act or if it was a desperate human trying to get something to eat. Just yesterday I did the Ranger station charlie mini mission in new vegas I played it dozens of times before but hearing the recording of the legion saying they took one of the women alive still brings a chill to my spine. In game time you could have been there minutes ago only to find everyone dead and no matter how hard you look afterwards or what console command you use you will never find the ones who did it. That there is true horror, knowing that you'll never find out the truth and that the ones who performed the act are still out there and you'll never know it.
  5. It was the first trip to my schools library when I was in grade 1 there was this book with information about most of the american missions. Don't remember the name but it was hardcover with black and yellow strips that's what started the interest. Then when I was about seven my aunt was babysitting me and she had the Apollo 13 movie on VHS she let me watch it and that's where it started. I remember thinking that landing on the moon was cool and all, but managing to get a crippled spacecraft home using equipment in ways that it was never designed for was more interesting.
  6. If you have a powerful enough light you can illuminate a cloud. Perhaps someone had an itchy trigger finger and got done binge reading a pulp fiction series and though he saw something. It would only take one gun firing to cause everyone to start shooting.
  7. Personally I always assumed star trek ships were orientated the same direction because the main Alpha quadrant powers use the same navigation system.
  8. First off the only reason why you're defending it and it's only saving grace is because of the price tag. If it were triple A priced or priced as a standard indie game people would be up in arms about a dev releasing an unfinished game or withholding content for DLC in order to make more money. Secondly it's horror comes from the fact that you have to do zero work to find any of the lore. Plenty of games have horror in them worse than FNAF. Take Fallout NV for example, there's a quest requiring you to retrieve a compass from a wreck of a bus, once you get there the bus is ran off the road and surrounded by skeletons too small to be an adult and lots of lunch boxes. Now what happened there? Who were they? did their families die at the same time or did they survive never knowing what happened to them? There's also houses that have a skeleton in the bathtub with a knife next to another one. What is the story there? Caesars legion is filled with the exact same things are well. The only different is that FNAF hands you all of this on a silver platter all the while wanting to know if you'd like a piggyback ride while it's making airplane noises.
  9. The end of video games would be a small price to pay if the FNAF craze finally ends.
  10. Again it's the exact same game with slight changes, when will you COD fanbo- *AHEM* FNAF fanboys realize that your beloved 2 and 3 games are DLC.
  11. Hmm, I wonder if the videos behind paywalls can still be hit with copyright claims?
  12. FNAF is one of those games I don't get, the dev releases it and then a sequel within months of each other and people are praising it. Yet the stardrive dev upon realizing adding everything he wanted into stardrive wasn't possible begins working on a sequel gets ripped to shreds over it.
  13. delete minecraft and re download it, should fix the problem.
  14. Or you could just get a curse account and use the new curse launcher to make the process 99% fool proof.
  15. Ships used in WW2 required metals, and other resources which as I recall were rationed fairly heavily during the war, a ship grown from organic matter requires only renewable substances to be created.
  16. That's a debate that has been going on for years. Honestly until we develop a sentient robot or computer the only way we're going to be able to make that distinction is based on weather or not the thing in question is organic.
  17. So we have an example of the rocket engine theory in nature, I wonder what issues in scaling it up would appear?
  18. Hmm, what about some form of muscle capable of putting pressure on the bladder so that the fuel would be forced out the way we want it to go? So a material like coral or bone, that's the thing I've though of as well.
  19. Most of the time in Science Fiction, if you want to show a species is alien or powerful you give them miles long ships partially or fully organic. In real life partially organic ships were used up to the 19th century at which point creating ships from metals proved to be much better. So I'm wondering if an organic space ship could work in real life. For this exercise let's say that humans figured out a way around the square cube law, and we figured out an organic material that can withstand spaceflight and reentry. Let's also assume that we need to build an organic ship because the metals needed are no longer around. So with that in place, that leads to four questions What would be the best material for the hull? would it be possible to create an organic engine? What kind of infrastructure would we need in order to make this? Could we even launch a space craft without having access to metals?
  20. There's a huge difference between killing to take someones supplies and killing a threat, normal humans should realize that the odds of them getting impaled vlad style goes up if they act like a jerk.
  21. Except you're missing one key point,It's a video game, people know it's a game and know that they can do what ever they want. Personally I think if something really happened the first 48 hours would be the most telling, within it the most violence is going to happen the most people are going to die and things are going to change the most after it the smart people. Ergo the ones who didn't attempt to reenact their left 4 dead fantasies are going to be left, then things are probably going to look as they were 150 years ago.
  22. Necrons, easy to paint, doesn't require knowing your opponent like other armies and reasonably tough
  23. Before that point most of the Russian rockets were variants of the R7, So When they started on the N-1 they were essentially entering a brand new field for them. Actually looking back the N-1 and LK lander seems like a stop gap measure just to get a man on the moon, especially since most Russian equipment to that point was well designed and though out. It's almost like they decided to focus on other things and let the Americans have the moon.
  24. I get what you meant thanks for point it out.
