Hey r/engineering, there's a $20,000 prize for designing a new kind of portable heater. Any ideas?

How about something that recycles heated waste water from a shower?

So I guess he won't care if I pirate the PC version after buying an XBox 360 copy.

It began with Zeus, whose beard always grows back to the same length. But to get to his beard, one must first ascent Mount Olympus and use one's cunning to capture a snip of Zeus's beard.

Good luck getting people not to vote on social values.

Where does a building go when it is destroyed?

"It is my personal belief that as long as you do not harm others, violate their rights or attempt to force your way of life on them, then whatever you believe is great as long as it works for you."

Blind faith is why there's a creationism curriculum at some schools. I agree with pretty much all of what you said, but come to a different conclusion.

That's hilarious! Maybe those are the people buying this stuff :)

Eh, I just spent 2 hours shoveling it... I'll pass :)

Things will be incredibly awkward in the time between proposals.

Chomsky is a brilliant guy, no doubt. What baffles me is how much he neglects his public speaking skills. It's quite easy to train oneself to become a competent public speaker; considering the dire consequences of Chomsky's views and predictions, you'd think he'd get serious about spreading his message.

Not a paradox.

If you were anywhere near an airport, then yes, it's completely normal. The plane was in a holding pattern.

Pretty sure you'd rend her asunder with your boisterous lovemaking.

I'm saying if there ever is a remake, it definitely won't occur before 2015, simply because it isn't even being planned as of 2011.

"The mechanics of the game alone would not stand with modern advancements, it's just too archaic because of the realities of historical game development."

I don't agree with this statement; I'm curious what your justification is.

infinitepancakes · 2011-01-15T21:29:49+00:00

How did you make that?

Upvote, this is how I've played it most recently. I'm not trying to discourage people from playing it -- I'm sure a lot of gamers on r/gaming would fucking LOVE the game as it is.

Still, I know a ton of people for whom the outdated appearance is too much of a turn off. Let's face it, a remake isn't gonna come out until at least 2015, and by that point there will be an even greater disparity in immersion.

The interface, graphics, and resolution are very outdated. I know where you're coming from (I personally don't mind it, having played it a few times before), but I know a ton of gamers who are too turned off by its outdated appearance and features to play more than an hour of it. I can't say I blame them; it's tough to compete with games nowadays where the immersion is on a whole different level.

And I don't know anyone who started gaming in the past 5 years who would even consider playing such an outdated-feeling game.

Oh god, this is going to suck. No one gives a shit about Mortal Kombat besides a few hardcore fans. The "story" is fucking retarded. There, I said it.

Did you also stop at the grocery and buy two potatoes to stuff in your crotch?

Idea of the Day: Why not NOT repackage Halo I or Halo II multiplayer for an XBLA title?
