You knew he would do it Iji didn't she was just being sensible. It's not her fault if people injure themselves trying to kill her. Everyone in the game acknowledges that.

I loved this game. Playing on pacifist was also a lot of fun. Which is weird because you still get the pacifist award

General Discussion / IT'S (a) CHRISTMAS!!! (songs thread)
« on: December 09, 2009, 05:12:56 pm »
I know it isn't technically Christmas yet but how about a Christmas songs thread, wherein we post our favourite christmas songs. This is inspired by me having gone to a LAN and found a Christmas album on the server, I proceeded to play through the album in audiosurf and have now been listening to Christmas songs all week.

Anyhow my all time favourite and a fond memory from my childhood is Grandma got run over by a reindeer. My local radio station would always play this round about Christmas, they'd always get it requested every morning in December as it ran up to Christmas so they'd say things like "We'll only play it if we can get 10 people requesting it in the next 5 minutes". Only the most ridiculous requirements would fail.

I'm also going to shove in Stop the Cavalry in my second spot. Even if it wasn't intended as a Christmas song.

Third place goes to Chiron Beta Prime. I'm a sucker for the JoCo

General Discussion / Re: Things that made you sad today thread.

Well, I just finished that final essay thing, a lot faster than I thought I would.  Still kinda sad, because it's certainly not quality work, but then nothing I write ever is, which just sends me back down another leg of the Disappointment Spiral.  I really need to learn some time management, and work ethic, and initiative.

Yes but lets be honest here, you'll procrastinate on learning that stuff too. I know I sure as hell do.

This is why I always found the schiltrom to be useless though in MEII, sure it denys the enemy your flank but it's at a ridiculous cost. If I was really worried about being flanked I'd just turn them rather than waste half my unit facing in entirely the wrong direction. It's formations like that which leave me unable to use them as part of an overall formation. I just have no idea where to put them such that half the mean aren't facing the wrong way.

Also I like the way militia is handled now but it is ridiculously easy to conquer European countries. I was playing as England and owned France in about 4 turns. I had this ridiculous battle with a single infantry unit and 4 horse units defeating an entire army of French armed rabble or whatever it is called simply by charging them with everything at once and watching them leg it.

I played the demo of the game and it barely ran (But it did run!). I love the TW series especially Rome, but I just don't understand the tactics for this one. What should I be doing to utterly destroy my opponents? All I know about colonial warfare was that they stood in a line firing crappy guns and awesome cannons and then stabbed each other with bayonets.
This is the problem I was having. A square is supposed to be anti cavalry but I never noticed that particularly, it seemed better to have a nice long line of fire to take down as many as possible then counter charge with my cavalry.

Infact I found it strange to have a situation where you don't want as long a line as possible.

General Discussion / Re: Religious/Catholic influence on politics (In US)
« on: December 07, 2009, 01:28:34 pm »
I get all that dude, but what I'm saying is that under the law, I can't really see my way to prosecuting the woman for doing it. How can you retroactively apply the rights that someone has now, to back before they (legally) existed? How can you punish a person for something that was not a crime, but somehow BECAME a crime in the intermediate time?

Again, I'm not taking a stance, just pointing out issues with the laws.

Ergh. I addressed that already.

You're not retroactively applying rights to the fetus. That would be like saying "What you did to that fetus at one month was a crime, retroactively". That's not what's happening.

You're applying rights to the being which DOES have rights. You're saying "What you did to that fetus at one month affected the fetus later in development, and that's a crime".

You are applying rights to the thing which has rights, now, not retroactively. The situation you created involved an organism which had no rights, sure, but that's immaterial. The fact still remains that you created a situation which eventually harmed a person with rights. It doesn't matter how you do that. You don't have to retroactively apply anything to anything.

So creating a situation that may harm someone in the future should be a crime? But aborting a fetus now, when it has no rights, prevents it from ever gaining its rights. Doesn't that make it also a crime to abort the fetus since that harms its future self in the sense that it's denied existence?
No because it never exists. It's the difference between me say planting a bomb on a site to blow up a town that will be built ther ein 10 years and never building the town.
/terrible analogy

Otherwise any form of contraception is denying a future childs right to exist.

Well in a couple of hours I'm off to an all weekend LAN. This will be my first chace to play L4D2! Also my chance to regain my honour in AoEII by actually beating the girl who beat me in every single game last time.

Life Advice / Re: Finding the temperature of a bunsen burner?
« on: December 03, 2009, 01:11:56 pm »
Hmmm I suppose so, I didn't really that one though.

Oooh wait I have an idea! A BIG beaker of water with a thermometer in it. =p

I could be talking out my ass here but if you boil a certain amount of water can't you work out from that and knowing how much energy it would take to boil the water and the time it takes to boil the amount of energy the burner is giving off per second or whatever and from that the temperature?

Just got 72% on a maths exam I hadn't revised for. I now have enough marks to pass this module regardless of how I do in the other exams and since this is my first year none of my marks count toward my final grade, thus I could  walk into the other 2 exams click end exam and walk out again.
