    Why do we like music?

    New topic hijack : What about anal ? What's the accepted opinion on this board ? What's the point ? Is it dirty ? Would you condone it ? Would you recommend it ?

    Greetings from Post-Apocalyptic Internet Radio

    Isn't cold fusion regarded as some kind of joke ? Like water memory and the fact we didn't land on the moon.

    Why do we like music?

    You don't have a practical use for your appendice either, yet you have one. I think it's quite logical to assume the evolutionary advantage of having our perceptions, be they visual or auditive or whatever, engender positive and negative reactions in our brain. If all perceptions were all...

    Jobs in Computer Science/Programming

    In short : don't listen to TheWesDude, see by yourself. Apart from the "not prepared to do the realities of market" bullshit, which is, at best, not really relevant to your problem (and applies to any studies whatsoever), the worse thing that can happen to you is lack of interest in the...

    Fresh and untouched settings to explore for RPG games

    With a friend we've had a secondary idea regarding the setting of our project. The idea is, in our world, pretty much everyone gets drugged to get past the harshness and monotony of post-apocalyptic life. So as a character you'd inevitably end up taking some nasty hallucinogenic drugs...

    Jobs in Computer Science/Programming

    If you want to probe getting into programming, I think the best advice one could receive is : program. Give it a try by yourself. This is the only way to know if you'll get any fun from doing this kind of job. Programming is all about the beauty of creating logical systems. You'll discover...

    Deserted island

    I would be interested to know what does the geiger count looks like in such places. Is radiaton the reason of their abandon ? Edit : I'm talking about the original post obviously, Hashima and other post-nuclear-bomb cities Edit 2 : Wow, I just realised looking at the other pictures...

    Romantically Apocalyptic

    I found another one which is way slower since it's a tutorial. It's too long to watch (30 minutes) but it's interesting to see the progression and how he uses photos. http://vimeo.com/4061091

    Romantically Apocalyptic

    I guess it's made from a mix of photographs, effects, and parts that are hand-drawn. When I say hand, I mean photoshop and a tablet. Very few are the digital artists that don't use photos as base material anyway, mostly for textures. With a little talent you can really create wonders in a few...

    Romantically Apocalyptic

    Seconded. It's not even remotely funny, which is a shame since, as a webcomic, if you take out the funny you're left with nothing but a bunch of nice visuals... What a waste of an impressing good artist...

    Favorite Film of 2010

    I get what you're trying to say and I agree on the intent : sometimes the important is not in the technicalities but... You're speaking as if science-fiction does never focus on the technical credibility of the future it proposes. Whereas it's often quite the opposite, and hence why it must...

    Upcoming movies 2010

    Seconded. Tron the original is already an aesthetical masterpiece. By trying to redo it, the potential for fail is very high... And it looks like they failed.

    Torchlight 2 and Grim Dawn

    Is it just me or the PA is all the rage these days...

    I hope you're not implying Alien 3 failed in its implementation ! I think it's the best movie in the way it captures an atmosphere of its own, without showing too much action. Sort of like an Alien 1, but with better production and a kickass ambiance. And the end pursuit in the corridors is one...

    Have you seen this man?

    No, actually it wouldn't... They wouldn't get published. A factor in corrupt governments life time is their control over the media. That's the case in italy and I guess it's probably the same in croatia.

    Have you seen this man?

    Genuine question : would an organisation similar as wikileaks have led to the corruption being uncovered sooner ? And would it help in the future ? I personally feel it would have. But you surely can tell better, since you live there.

    Looking to get into PC gaming; what are "average"

    What pretty much define your gaming capabilities today is your Graphic card anyway. So, yeah, an average processor with slightly more than 1 core, 3-4 gigs of ram... Just choose your graphics cards wisely so you get a good bang for the buck.

    UK Tuition Fee Protests

    I see you conveniently discarded the example where Joe Shmoe, student, takes a 100k student loan he won't be able to pay after he graduate..... And I'm not talking out of my ass, it's happening right now everywhere in your country. Some are even desperate enough to kill themselve at this point.

    UK Tuition Fee Protests

    TL; DR Shoveler is obviously american and against any kind of welfare. On the other side in europe, a few irreducibles still believing in some forms of solidarity remain, guided by their greek leader, Threepwood. The two start fighting over a bunch of words, but really the issue doesn't...
