I just want Bungie to officially tell us why the game ended up like it did rather than just pushing it under the rug.
This is fiscal suicide. They will never, and should never, publicly admit that they fucked up the story and content.

if we could apply quantum mechanics to neurology I'm sure your efforts are sincere but this is the type of catch-all phrase thrown around by laymen that think one can just 'quantum mechanics' their way to any solution.

Is this video going to take 35 minutes just to say that Bungie messed up miserably by clearly cutting finished content from the game to sell as DLC?
Yes. Just detailing the specific areas and some ideas of why it happened. It's nothing that you haven't already heard if you've been even vaguely following it.
A few other complaints too, but nothing amazing. Just complaints about some pointless gear in the game that indicates much was cut.
Ah, not gonna watch all of it then. Thanks.
If you're fervently interested in how Destiny went wrong, it's kinda interesting so far. But it doesn't accomplish much, and it's kind of depressing to keep hearing about how cool this game could've been.

Aaaaa bb ababa baba
Is this britbong college language? Genuinely interested in how this works
Those are A-Level grades.
So A-Levels are what most Britbong students do before Uni, from ages 16-18. In the first year, we have our AS exams, and then in the second we have our A2 exams, and these combine to make our final grade. Most people do 4 A-Levels but drop one after the first year, although I haven't dropped any, and some people have done more than 4 A-Levels.
Okay, but what about your OWL exams?

I recognize how repetitive and butchered the game is, but goddamn it's still addictive and enjoyable. I keep finding new things that impress me. Did you know that when using a hand cannon, the hammer and your character's hand moves in coordination with your own trigger press? I also love listening to the Sparrow; whoever designed the sounds and mechanics of the vehicle did a great job. Even the grass you run over blows according to your boost and speed.
But all of the beauty and detail in the game really makes me wonder how absolutely groundbreaking this game would have been if the story development hadn't fallen apart, if the social elements hadn't been gutted, and if key content wasn't held back as DLC.

A couple of you mentioned the Civic. I've driven a Civic (albeit a lease and one without many features) for several hundred miles and found it very uncomfortable. The seat sat too low, the windows and mirrors made it difficult to see around the rear of the car, and the trunk was too small.
I do a lot of outdoorsy stuff like diving, biking, and hiking, so I really like being able to pack a bunch of gear. I'd even be down for a truck, though the poor gas mileage turns me off to them.

Meh, I'm around level 25 and I've enjoyed it so far. However I also treat it like its a single player game for the most part and pretend it's non canon.
Thought about maybe making a sep7 guild just to get a Guild base and capital ship for people that just want to hang around and play with other people from this place.
ToR isn't canon, did you SEE how badly they butcher Revan's character in the next expansion?
Nope, I've heard it's some guy pretending to be Revan but I don't know how true it is. That and since KOTOR is no longer canon I don't really give a shit about what happens in TOR. It's all just a giant what if story now and I'm fine with that. Means they can do more shit too since they're no longer constrained by canon.
To be fair, KOTOR isn't canon either. None of it matters, but I would say the LucasArts team considers TOR the continuation of Revan's story, no matter how unhappy most of the fanbase is with his treatment.

Not only is that missing massive variables, it's an argument against food stamps, not wages. No one is forcing people to work at Wal-Mart, and you could easily live on $8 an hour. Once again, the problem is the government itself. They've destroyed the economy beyond repair. Raising wages would make things slightly better temporarily, but things would become much worse later on as it's ignoring the actual problem.
Why do I get the feeling that you didn't even watch the video?
And no, no one can live on just $8 an hour. That's impossible. Good luck getting past monthly rent.
You can, I barely make $230 every 2 weeks. That's only about 20 hours or so. Working full time doubles it and overtime can pay rent if you're smart about the budget.
What area are you from though?
Arizona. Minimum wage is $7.90, so little less than your $8 thing example penis
As an Arizonan I can confirm that it's possible to live on minimum wage here, but if you're paying a car bill, phone bill, and insurance, it's very uncomfortable.

Please tell me there's an option that lets you look around like a normal game.
You mean like first-person? Just zoom in all the way and it'll do it, but it's useless.

Gonna be a no-shit, bill-paying adult in a couple months working a real job with a wife and my own health insurance and car payments. This is in serious because I don't want the typical flood nonsense, but I understand if it has to be moved. I'm looking to buy a car towards the end of the year to take advantage of sales on 2014 models. I don't really have any particular desires other than the typical ones: decent fuel economy, reliability in terms of maintenance frequency, and affordability. My salary will be roughly $55k for the first year, though I'm not sure what budget that entails. When I posted this thread a while ago on B.Net, I specified that I do want a hatchback but I'm open to any suggestions. 1. What budget should I shoot for? 2. Any manufacturers that I should avoid? 3. Lease vs. buying? Other than that, just post recommendations. Thanks, Sept. Spoiler Right now I'm thinking about a Ford Focus SE.

It's Walmart, they wouldn't cut prices. It's the only thing keeping them ahead of competitors. They'd cut positions, hours, holiday staffing, insurance, and raises.
I was working in a grocery store when AZ increased the minimum wage to $7.65 from $7.25, and the new contract did exactly that. It's not necessarily the company being greedy -- retail is incredibly marginal and competitive, and even a slight increase in price is enough to drive a significant portion of the market to a competitor.

What is so retarded about their stance on GMO's? There is a real lack of data and scientific research in that field, so being cautious with spreading GMO's is pretty commendable.

Electric-powered cars, along with numerous recharging stations, are only feasible in urban/suburban areas. Gas-powered cars will never be fully eclipsed by electric-powered ones, predominantly because consumers enjoy a variety of goods in the market. However, I can see what you're describing occurring on the small-scale, like in big cities perhaps
This was the same thought when gas-powered cars came around. There wouldn't be enough fueling stations, fuel is abundant enough, it's too expensive, etc. But we're seeing those changes happening now, and in a very short amount of time electric cars will be feasible throughout all but the most isolated areas.
How about charging times, though? What is roughly the fastest?
The standard model that Tesla is going with is that at night you'll trickle-charge for several hours. They already have a device that can fully charge the car in 30 minutes, and they're working on a charger that will charge the entire battery in only a few minutes, comparable to filling a tank of gas.

Until I can get an electric powerd car for 30k and still have the same preformance as my Evo, or I get $100k for a P85 Model S, I'm not touching electric cars. Depends on what you consider performance. Being able to accelerate fast? The Model D hits 60 in 3 seconds. Fuel economy? Current models can already go 275 miles. Safety? Their cars scored the highest available safety rating, and surpassed it. Racing? Electric cars are the future because of their ability to provide maximum torque at rest, and not having an engine and gas tank reduces weight significantly.

I was not asking you to Google it, I'm asking you which organizations are you getting this information from. Department of the Navy. You can't block radiation with steel and concrete. You sure can. Explain how those living on a nuclear submarine, who always wear a dosimeter, consistently report radiation levels lower than what you'd get from a day at the beach or on a cross-country flight. I wonder if you even read your source, as it repeatedly refutes that statement you use to cite it: "For all ages combined, there were no significantly increased SRR's for leukaemia after start-up for any individual facility or for all facilities combined. The SRR's for cancers other than leukaemia among children did not vary significantly from 1.00. Similarly, the SRR's for breast cancer or thyroid cancer (all ages) did not vary significantly from 1.00 after start-up. "If conventional estimates of the cancer risks attributed to radiation are accepted, exposure from the monitored emissions from nuclear facilities in the United States...were too small to result in detectable harm." "The fact that significant differences were found in our survey for the period before facilities went into service illustrates the need for caution before interpreting all differences after start-up as evidence of adverse health effects attributable to operation of the facilities." "No significantly statistical significant increases in deaths from childhood leukaemia were found." "In combined data for all facilities, the RR of mortality from childhood leukaemia after plant start-up was 1.03, while before start-ip it was larger, 1.08. For leukaemia mortality at all ages, the RR's were .98 after start-up and 1.02 before." "Thus, this survey did not detect any general association between residence in a county with a nuclear facility and death attributable to leukaemia or, in fact, any other form of cancer."
"We cannot conclude that nuclear facilities have not caused any cancer deaths in persons living near them. It can be concluded, however, that if nuclear facilities posed a risk to neighbouring populations, that risk was too small to be detected by a survey such as this one.Here is the Wikipedia article on gamma radiation shielding. You'll notice that it does in fact list dirt and concrete as appropriate shielding sources. Here's how a nuclear submarine's reactor is disposed of: they literally take the entire compartment out of the sub, encase it in concrete, then bury it in a pit. The reactor is heavily lined in lead so the concrete and dirt is pretty much entirely unnecessary, but they're very concerned about the public's view of the program so they go above and beyond what's necessary. These extra steps are due to ignorance and fear on the part of the public. The truth is that coal-burning plants and oil rigs are far more dangerous to the environment and to surrounding areas than nuclear facilities. There's no need for all the added patronization. I haven't been patronizing you.
