author=KingArthurauthor=DespainThe problem is that "irregardless" is nonsensical in its logically derived (regarding) and intended (regardless) meanings, nevermind the fact it uses two negatives. If you subtract -1 from a number (ie: 3 - (-1) = _?), you're adding 1 (ie: 3 - (-1) = 4), but people are insisting in this case that subtracting -1 is subtracting 1 (ie: 3 - (-1) = 2?!) and that is the primary problem we have. If "irregardless" was used to mean "regarding" then we won't have as much of a problem beyond it being needlessly convoluted for having two negatives, which is already stupid by itself.author=Yellow Magicnot at all, dude. language is defined by the people who speak it, not a group of old white guys in an office in a university. language is a fluid thing, it changes with time. words now that are commonplace were slang not too long ago. and words that are slang or incorrect today will be "real" words in the years to come. my honors thesis was actually about the evolving nature of the english language (and in particular the internet's effect on it).author=Despainis this a very clever joke?
good dictionaries are descriptive and are opdated to match the vernaculare.
English already has a shitload of rule exceptions in place, let's not make more because of illiteracy.
i would be happy to report any youtube video in support of irregardless!
my brothers, unite
The Screenshot Topic Returns

@NOACCEPTANCE772 I have no absolute idea what's going over in that game. No offense, but it looks like it was made by a brainless 5-year old satanist high on every existing drug. The graphics are mixed and I can barely distinguish anything from the messy screenshots.
no offense but *insert extremely offensive comment without any helpful criticism*
I Can Delve for Miles: What Draws you to Dungeon Crawls?
author=NewBlack
Urgh, character progression is the lowest common denominator of incentives.
I completely disagree. If my character doesn't progress or I don't get any new toys to play with, my interest in the game declines rapidly. It might be my short American attention span, but seriously. Like TD games where I build towers and quickly realize, these towers don't upgrade, I stop playing and never touch them again.
Although, I want a pretty good pace of progression. I don't want so many new things that I am too overwhelmed to really experiment with everything, but I also don't want to grind 5 hours to level up. I think the third Ratchet and Clank game had nice leveling up for the guns. Then the games that came before and after are good examples of too slow and too fast, respectively.

author=kentonaauthor=PentagonBuddyIt took me even longer to notice. (and there is no way I'm going to reveal the secret now!)
It took me a long time to see a difference between either version. Flip a coin to settle the matter? I think they both look quite fine!
I concur, flip a coin. They are both excellent and you can't really go wrong with either and agonizing over it is a waste of time.
yeah, it took forever, with a line THAT unnoticeable, it doesn't matter, took me roughly ten-twelve round trips of scrolling to figure it out
Skyrim Hype Thread: Undead Chicken Soup for the Dragon's Soul
I don't know why I read this thread. Takes a lot of willpower not to buy this game until after finals. I've even held a copy in my hands and put it down. Gonna be a good day when I get this.

OnLive - The future of online gaming?
author=Shinan
While you can pretty much play games from the 90s on any old machine the most recent games might not run. But through the streaming service they will.
Well, judging by the video posted earlier, it would lag but still remained playable. I understand that the big selling point was the ability to play high end games, but if they aren't streaming perfectly, that might be unattractive to some people. However, streaming dated games will always run perfectly, and the library is massive. That was my logic behind it. I don't consider it an advantage to play high end games if they aren't running perfectly.
You're also referring to PCs not being up to snuff, or if it's on a TV it costs $100 for the hardware to play it. Obviously consoles will be able to run games made for them, and since they come out every what, 5 years or so? they aren't that bad to buy. When I bought my 360 it was $400 (much cheaper now too), and lasting 5 years until a new console comes out, = $80 a year, whereas the OnLive monthly fee is $10 x 12 = $120 a year. Except, I get to keep my console. I still have to buy games, but I KEEP them. Or the other method where you just buy full passes for games, which still cost $5-$50 each. Then they won't be available later (Fear 2 said it was going to run out in 2013 at some point) so full passes aren't really forever. From my view, it's better to invest in a console that WILL run the games like they are meant to be played, that you can have forever. Granted, you probably won't play the same games over and over until you die, but there are plenty of times where I want to dust off an old game and play through it just for nostalgia/fun (which I know I'm not alone on)
Again, with the older massive library of games, you can play games that are much harder to come by, and run smooth. To each their own I suppose. The selling point of high end gaming is invalid if it's not perfect.
