I'm sorry you are a fatty, but try not to let your obesity infect us all please
How are sports games and how much I weigh related?
Last I checked, sports games don't involve physical activity that affect how fit you are.

You bellend.
If you enjoy sports, you enjoy sports games-at least in some capacity. I'm guessing you have two left feet, no athletic ability or natural talent when it comes to sports-else you'd be able to talk about it and play sports games.

I'd like to see you try and have a conversation in depth about anything sports-related

You missed out the fact you can toggle sprint on/off in custom games

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/halo-5-undergoing-major-changes-after-beta-feedbac/1100-6425109/

Quite frankly, not only have 343 fixed so many things, but they have chosen to give the players the choice. Extremely encouraging news

I didn't miss out on that fact. Its just gonna be a joke and further divide the competitive and casual communities.
And allow you to experience it how you've all been crying for, I see it more as user empowerment than fragmentation

Not in matchmaking
No maps made around No Sprint

Sounds Great! Sike.
You don't know that yet, it sounds like it's something they are considering. The existence of such an option is unprecedented

What's that? You guys can't run a shitty beta on your supposedly god-tier PCs?
That"s the developer's fault, not the computer's fault, genius.
Runs just fine on my Xbox, runs just fine on everyone's Xboxes, runs just fine on everybody's Playstations.

How about it's the very nature of PC gaming?
Are you retarded?
It's Visceral's fault if it runs like shit on PCs that are capable of running games at good performance, not the computer's fault.
I never said it was the computer's fault you fucking idiot, I said it was the very nature of PC. Such fragmentation presents enormous obstacles for games as they become increasingly complex, you are always going to have problems without optimisation.

The game itself is solid and fun, shitty netcode as usual, movement and guns have been seemingly totally revamped and btw-heavy weapons are not loadouts, they are map pickups-so there is no OP firepower in the slightest. It feels more like GTA V fps than BF4 really

The Union Jack is definitely superior. Not even a britbong, just a fan of symmetry.
Oh dear...

You realise it's not symmetrical?
Yeah I know, but it's close enough for my liking.
Also, it's actually called the Union Flag-it's only the Union Jack when at sea

I can't help but see a slightly darker side in the fact that we are picking and choosing parts of people that we want, going against the most basic and natural thing for any animal-breeding.

We do this with plants and animals, and evolution does it at a slower rate. If anything, being able to selectively breed beneficial traits is a milestone in evolution.
And the tactic has rendered many species of plants unused, shunned.

What?
Many species of plant just are not grown any more because selective breeding has made them undesirable, such as purple and white carrots having been replaced by orange carrots via selective breeding. What I was saying is that if the concept were to be applied to humans it would be a little dark

We're talking about the ability to prevent cognitive disorders and congenital diseases, to anticipate and stop birth defects, not to mention the possibility of eradicating allergies and select for higher disease immunity.
Yes, I know. Do you even understand why they selectively breed plants and the consequences of it?

I hate how it's called 'three-person babies' it implies the babies inherit 46 chromosomes from 3 different people which isn't the case at all.

The baby inherits 46 chromosomes from the 2 original parents, the only thing that is planted from the third parents is mitochondria. Other than mitochondria it has no relation to the third parent. Look at this.

Spoiler


1. Broken link

2. I know, but they are three-person babies as in they have genetic material inherited from 3 people, 0.1% of the DNA is not their parent's. To simply dismiss different mitochondrial DNA as unimportant is stupid really, and until you come up with a superior description 'three-people babies' will have to do
1. Go here to see the picture then, it explains the procedure with pretty little pictures to help you understand http://www.theguardian.com/science/2015/feb/02/three-parent-babies-explained

2. Okay but it's still not correct and very misleading.
There is a major difference between "three parent" and "three person", I would never say 'three-parent' is in any way accurate. 'Three person' is though, as the child would contain DNA from 3 different people. The earlier point you made about chromosomes is 100% correct of course, and the reason 'three-parent' would be wholly inaccurate. But remember "They have their own set of 37 genes which are separate from the 20,000 or so genes that shape who we are.", that is the key part that makes the 'three person' tag correct.

MPs say yes to three-person babies
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-31069173

Well, this is certainly going to become one of the biggest medical and ethical talking points in years to come. On one hand i'm glad that such a technique exists to improve people's lives and give happiness to those that without this would perhaps never be truly happy. But on the other hand I can't help but see a slightly darker side in the fact that we are picking and choosing parts of people that we want, going against the most basic and natural thing for any animal-breeding.

How long is it until this type of selection of desirable parts extends to extremes? There's a very real chance that one day it'll be a lot more than 0.1%, it just seems as though this may one day present an entirely new way to control the population's attributes or makeup-something some nations (such as Singapore) already do vigorously.

You should name one after every user on the site, that's 600 done

Nah. I want this to be serious. XxxxxxxxZzzZzzzRyLezzZZxxxXXxx4206969mlg[faze] doesn't have a good ring to it.

But I did do this;



I made a program to make random names. Added in a couple hundred names and variables, then ran it and I now just make, say, 500 random ones and then search through for good ones that make sense. This was because I was bored during a free period at school, I might add. This took about 20 miutes, minus the adding of the index of words.
Smart, I was going to suggest making a program to do it for you but I wasn't sure if you knew how to code.

Also, you have to name one after me, plz
