You all refuse to see the truth

Bungie+MS=Great games
Bungie-MS=Shit game
MS-Bungie=Good games

Bungie needs Spencervision and Nadellacorp could do with Bungie

I heard Marathon was good though. And Oni.

Life from non-life. According to evolution, life arose from a "hot mix of chemical goop". But there's no evidence for it and the process cannot be recreated in a lab. As a means of damage control, scientists then claimed that life came from somewhere else in the galaxy. But that still leaves the question as to how that strain of life came to be. Is there just a never ending cycle of strains of life that come from another planet?

I recently read about this.

You can actually recreate organic molecules like protein and amino acids in a lab. The problem occurred when scientists couldn't recreate them under conditions seen on the surface of a primordial earth.

However, there is no 'damage control', science simply knows what it doesn't know yet, the claim about life from other worlds is an unproven hypothesis.

Current theory going around is that simple life first formed within deep sea hydrothermal vents, which can provide the materials and energy to produce organic molecules and their processes.

To be fair, they're paid to make games, not talk about them.

Impression is everything though.
Bungie has always been bad at public speaking in general.



ehhhhhhhh.....

Maybe it was just Staten then. His ODST reveal was good.

Eye rolled at everything the devs said.

Yeah I bet you sure listened to the community feedback when you made this dlc before the game came out.

I think they expected to just be able to roll out the DLC after finishing during dev time, but were awoken by all the fan feedback.

If you support GMOs in any way, you're a fucking confirmed retard.

If you wanna talk about Monsanto's business model and abuse of policy then yeah.
Universal consensus doesn't mean shit. Generically modifying food to be more filling, or resist insects, or whatever, is inherently wrong. Talk to be when you're not brainwashed by the corporate conglomerate anymore.
it's inherently wrong? what the fuck does that even mean? I'm not even going to go into the general shittiness of that kind of assertion.

Letting people starve because you think genetically modified food is icky poses a bigger ethical problem.
Are you kidding me? It's not "icky", it's fucking poison. Giving people food that causes cancer, heart failure, and a shitload of other diseases isn't a solution to hunger.

Bitch, that glorified and sped up process of basic selective breeding, which farmers have been doing since the dawn of civilisation, has saved thousands, if not millions around the world from hunger and famine.
Selective breeding isn't what I'm talking about. I'm talking about chemicals, spraying, and actually changing the genetic makeup of the food with poisons.

Yes, its exaclty what we're talking about. Altering the genetic make up of crops with genes from other organisms, many of which are used to give the crops resistance against pests to negate the use of harmful pesticide chemicals.

Its an absolute clusterfuck.

An explosion of long term hatred of crappy game journalism, in which journalists likely decided to deflect by unleashing the long term hatred of misogyny within aspects of the western gaming community, with trolls and doxxers on both sides acting as catalysts.

In short, two important issues about the games industry that should have not mixed in any way are now totally ruined as viable discussion points for at least a year.

Everything comes to an end at some point and Bungies creative magic has ran dry

I severely hope that's not the case. After working on halo for a decade, there should have been an explosion of creativity, perhaps just hammered down by development issues, especially across generations.

]http://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/11/23/exclusive-destiny-video-first-look-bungie-introduces-the-dark-below.aspx]

So gameinformer had a behind the scenes of Vid of the new expansion pack, and the bungie team there, seemed a lot different to the halo 3 or reach team :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T0_jiB2hqeQ

No one was excited or energetic or really happy, which was kinda odd for bungie.

Perhaps I'm looking too much into it; times change, people have come and gone.

But considering the rumours of how creative control was reserved only for the top guys in the company, and with Staten and Marty. the two most public members of the team, gone, and Destiny's troubled development and less than stellar reception, maybe everyone there has just become tired and worn down.

As for the DLC, it looks alright-ish. The multiplayer maps are nothing special, but the strike seems good, tied into the new side story (a story with only one fucking character but anyway). Too bad there's only one for me -_-. And the Raid looks really promising, might even just be with the £20. Might be. Maybe.

At this point though, I'm not sure if the game can be saved enough to contiue with their 'ten year plan'. Maybe they should just retcon everything and start afresh with Destiny 2, and give it a name that makes sense.

TL;DR Bungie team seems sad, DLC prediction: 6.5/10- Correct amount of water, Destiny reboot?

Gaming / Re: Bungie Integrating strikes into Destiny's story
« on: November 24, 2014, 09:55:56 AM »
so because of all the can outcry about the story bungie wanted to make a more cohesive story for the DLC that (allegedly) isn't just random isolated events. Part of this is integrating the strikes into the story...


One strike is PS4 exclusive....


Bungie made the fucking story a timed exclusive. WTF

Luckily, I think the only strike with any story is the non-exclusive one (Jovian complex)

See above:

The point being that I'm placing more emphasis on philosophy/pragmatism than ideology/dogmatism. When I say conservative or liberal, I'm talking about incredibly broad and sweeping generalisations that encompass a person's attitude to a decent degree of accuracy.

I'm not asking for incredibly specific policy prescriptions, and I wouldn't immediately discontinue my identity as a conservative if I changed my mind and began supporting, say, a financial transaction tax.

I still really couldn't decide fully. I don't know anyone here well enough to decide whether they're intelligent, or know they're political affiliation. Even still, I doubt I really could bring it such a broad generalisation.

to push an agenda, really. That's it.

What agenda? That registration is bad? Than doing the horrible thing that's supposed to make registration bad?
Gawker is very anti-gun, and the idea here was to "shame" gun owners and open them up to harrassment.

I guess it really doesn't further an agenda so much as violate the privacy of a group.

Honestly, I'm for gun registration, but it should be kept private as possible. And this is just horrible. I didn't know about Gawker before hand, but it sounds like an SJW shitfest.

Eghhhhh....

I hate shit like this.

Okay, it is really hard to define an individual overall as intelligent or not. You, OP, seem to be very well read and and smart on a lot of historical and political matters. Socially, you sound a bit retarded.
I'm quite smart when it comes to geography and paleontology, though I have the musical and artistic skill of Miley Cyrus with 50 grams of krokodil injected into her tongue.

Secondly, Conservative and Liberal 'ideals' cover a lot of controversies and are not always consistent among each ideology. For examples, wanting to allow Muslims to build mosques and express their faith alongside Christians could be considered liberal, even though wanting Christians to not pray or express their faith in public would be the same.
Likewise for conservatives; many claim to want the government to have little interference with peoples live as possible, while simultaneously the same or other conservatives would want the government to stop to people of the same gender from marrying.

No one is gonna be con or lib all the way through, and the very definition and issues considered left or right will vary greatly from location to location.

All I can really say is, I don't know. I don't know how to start to define who is and isn't smart here (except PSU, he really is pants on head retarded), and I don't wanna try and wade through this left and right stuff again.
For what its worth, I'm avarage left; I like welfare and free healthcare; without, half my family may not be alive today.

Have the colleges alert police of any parties going on so they're on standby; informing students that anybody commiting a crime will be swiftly expelled and sent to the officials, creating a system which encourages victims or witnesses to seek help and feel safe. Shit like that?
