It's not so much a breakdown as it is an evolution.
I'm not convinced.
there's historical precedent for it, just look at the family dynamics on the Overland Trail, or the development of slave families, or the realities of family life before/during the Great Depression. times of dire need tend to either strengthen family bonds or redefine what family means- we are very versatile when it comes to the development and maintenance of kinship groups.

Well, there are the recordings from the cockpit and the flight path that strongly suggest this isn't a mechanical issue.
Well he locked the pilot out, and you can hear the screams of passengers, so yeah...
Link?
On my phone now, so I'm not going to link stuff, but pretty much every news outlet has covered that. The captain briefly left the cockpit and found the door locked when he tried to come back in. He then tried to use the his key code to override the lock, at which point the co-pilot manually engaged the safety lock (which is only supposed to be used in emergencies like hijackers trying to gain access to the cockpit) and started to descend. When the captain realized they were rapidly descending, he tried kicking down the door to still get inside (which was obviously futile, as the doors to cockpits are all bulletproof and extremely sturdy after what happened at 9/11). The final moments of the flight, the passengers realized something was wrong and started screaming.
Says who? How do we know he engaged the manual lock?
are you even trying to do your own research

Again, apart from several news networks getting this from the exact same source, what proof do we have apart from them saying this happened?
there is no conclusive proof yet unless you want to travel to hell and ask the copilot what happened. the news agencies are reporting the best of our knowledge.
The news is feeding you bullshit and why people think the talking heads on TV tell the truth is beyond me.
you're making an awful lot of assumptions there buddy. i got all my info from public radio.
Man that sho is different from the TV.
you also just threw any credibility you might have out of the window. all you have to go on is conjecture and now you're resorting to petty insults. so, i say good day to you, sir.
I insulted you? When?
All you have to go on is what the media reports.
you made a brash assumption about the ways by which i gleaned knowledge of this issue, and then you wrote me off because of that- i find that to be insulting, especially in the serious board.
FUCKING LOL
I didn't write anybody off, Mr Genteel.
you're right, im using evidence provided by the french government and reported by publicly-funded news agencies. thats a hell of a lot more to back me up than what you have, which is... nothing.
And I'm saying it's incredibly suspicious how drastically they changed their story.
yeah, it's weird how the narrative changes when new evidence presents itself amirite
Evidence?
Or a story?
are you sure you meant to post this in serious and not the flood, because this is starting to feel a lot like an attempt at trolling

its never too soon to make a joke about tragedy. comedy is one of the best ways to heal wounds. if you make light of a horrible thing, and laugh about it, you've taken its power away.

You're forgetting that the co-pilot engaged the manual lock. That's a key element right there.
Yep. I was listening to a story on NPR about this on my way home from school the other day, and it was mentioned that these planes have 3 locks to make sure that stuff like this doesnt happen and pilots can't lock themselves out accidentally after going to the bathroom, and it seems like the copilot made sure none of the locks would work. that possibility is given credence by the recording of the blackbox, which gave us the copilot's controlled, calm breathing and the screams of the passengers/pilot

"DAs you need to go to work, wake up"
"five more mnites"
"okay"
Every day I have this conversation with myself.
i found a way around this by just setting alarms 2 hours befor ei actually need to wake up. that way, i can say to myself "fuck yeah two more hours of sleep!" and get a rockin nap before i have to wake up forreal.

i'm just saying, if you stacked the two genres together, i would bet money on it that the fighting genre has a lot more going on in terms of strategy, or what's going on in the player's heads, and what you need to do in order to win
in other words, they're a lot harder to master
depends on the game, but yeah id say thats fairly accurate, because fighters are mostly 1v1 and in shooters you usually have a team to back you up. its apples to oranges though, so its moot nonetheless.

oh boy. you really havent played much halo have you. theres a lot of educating to be done. i dont have the time to give you a real crash course, so ill give you the next best thing https://www.youtube.com/user/ShadowzKillerthis guy was one of the best default players on bungie.net, and he's very knowledgeable about h3. if you watch some of his videos, you'll see very clearly that good players employ diverse strategies to win, not just "shoot better than that other guy"

i honestly think that's what it does come down to, though
if you're not "good" at an FPS game, you're not playing the game right
i mean, clearly
it's not that pro-players are "good"--everyone else just SUCKS
or, everyone else is just ignorant of how the game should be played, i should say
and i'm just making the argument that FPS games are very simple to master
but very few people care to do that for obvious reasons
youre right, and its that way for the vast majority of competitive games. 90% of the community is utter shit and doesnt understand anything about the game. but fps games generally arent easy to master. even shallow, awful games like cod have a MASSIVE skill cap that the layman couldnt begin to comprehend.

« on: March 26, 2015, 07:52:38 PM »
would you like me to explain to you how competitive fps works? because it involves a LOT more variables than just who shoots first. doubt it
feel free to try to explain though
lets use halo 3 as an example, shall we? first, we need to establish some context. halo games are arena shooters, instead of reaction-based class shooters like cod. as such, in the original halo trilogy, everyone started on the same footing, effectively creating a completely egalitarian environment, which is very healthy for pure competition. in the best maps (usually symmetrical maps like citadel, heretic, and sandbox,) there are very powerful weapons and equipment. naturally, both teams want to control these power spawns. so right from the get go, we have a dynamic relationship between the two competing parties revolving around those spawns. now this is where map control comes in. if your team "wins" the original engagement and either neutralizes or controls the power spawns, you have a leg up on your opponent, and you can use these advantages to spread your team around the map and consolidate your ability to zone the enemy out. map control is the absolute NUMBER ONE factor when it comes to winning in a competitive environment. this may seem unfair to the team which lost the opening rush, but id argue that bad players should be punished for mistakes, rather than being forgiven for incompetence. once you have map control, you are able to track the enemies wherever they go- enemy player spawns are extremely easy to predict and control in halo 3, so good teams can get map control and determine the pace of the game as long as they dont fuck up. the cool thing about these arena shooters is that, in the competitive environments, if you are on the losing side of the map control aspect, you still spawn with powerful, versatile weapons like the battle rifle. though the dominating team may control the power spawns, you still have all the tools you need to break their setup. this is accomplished through effective communication and teamshooting, which come naturally as a result of deliberate play. theres a lot more to it but i dont want to write a novel about this. this is just a basic overview of the most important and least-understood aspect of fps, which most definitely is NOT your ability to shoot someone first (not to mention the fact that in good fps games, the reactive player has all the tools he needs to outplay the proactive player, but i digress.)

this idea that people can be "better" or "worse" than someone at an FPS is asinine to me
you shot me before you did--that's it
there's no nuance there

varies from game to game.
in competitive multiplayer games like halo, im a team player first and foremost. i put shots on everything that moves, make good callouts, and make sure my team knows enemy/weapon/equipment spawn locations/times
in single player games, i play deliberately and cautiously, always aware of my surroundings. i like to explore in singleplayer games, too. ive spent a few hundred hours just exploring the Mojave and Capital Wastelands.
