Can someone (perhaps you, r10k?) explain just what exactly qualifies as in (and out) of context scriptures?

Well, context is what it is Not to try and insult your intelligence, but the good ol' dictionary says it's "the interrelated conditions in which something exists or occurs". So, in this case, I'm talking about some laws which were designed for a different place and time, and as a part of a different covenant (or agreement) between man and God. Times have changed since then- the context has changed. What made sense for then now doesn't make sense if you try and apply it to now. That's not the bible's fault. It's the same if I pull the laws of Iceland in 1942 from out of their context and apply them to your home town today. In many places I'm sure it wouldn't work too well

Any scripture can be taken out of context. Christian's will often say though, that when a scripture is understood, it should be understood in context of the whole bible. So, for example, you don't take a passage from the old testament and apply it to your daily life, without keeping in mind what God says throughout the entire bible.

I hope that makes sense.

Are the sequels to battlefield 1942 as good as the original? I played a lot of the original back in 2003/2004

This seemed very disturbing to me, One thing I was curious about the kid that listed a number, so i went to the jewish virtual library, I found this-
In May 1944, numbers in the "A" series and the "B" series were first issued to Jewish prisoners, beginning with the men on May 13th and the women on May 16th. The "A" series was to be completed with 20,000; however an error led to the women being numbered to 25,378 before the "B" series was begun. The intention was to work through the entire alphabet with 20,000 numbers being issued in each letter series. In each series, men and women had their own separate numerical series, ostensibly beginning with 1.
I don't want to diminish his grandmother's horrific experience, so I'am sure he was just drunk and got the number wrong. The racist comments were also very suprising!


I honestly don't know how to respond to that. You think you know his family history better than him simply because you read a short text online? That number obviously means a great deal to him, so please, stop the "I caught you with a technical error" trolling.

Edit - Let me battle your internet-fact with my own:
"Approximately 90,000 female prisoners were identified with a series of numbers created for female prisoners in March 1942 until May 1944. Each new series of numbers introduced at Auschwitz began with “1.” Some Jewish prisoners (but not all) had a triangle tattooed beneath their serial number."
From http://www.ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10007056 by Googleing the phrase "auschwitz numbering"

This looks kinda neat. I like that you can play ewoks! (haha)

I wonder if you can man positions in the capital ships. Thats one of the things I really liked about battlefield 1942 & 2142.. You had some control over the various systems of some very large vehicles! But they could never get it totally right. so much lag for the people on deck while moving and such.

Could not agree more with the above post.. except perhaps to disagree slightly that you'd enjoy the entire episode... 50% of the first episode you ever watch will make you go "haha" or "hah", and then you'll stop.

Tell you what's hilarious though, the one he did on this christmas special... "1942........1942........i invented the shooooeeeee"

The Battle of Stalingrad is a commonly used name in English sources for several large operations by Germany and its allies and Soviet forces conducted with the purpose of ensuring possession of the city of Stalingrad (now Volgograd), which took place between 17 July 1942 and February 2, 1943, during the Second World War.

The results of these operations are often cited as one of the turning points of World War II. The Battle of Stalingrad was the bloodiest battle in human history, with combined casualties estimated to be above 1.5 million. The battle was marked by brutality and disregard for military and civilian casualties by both sides. The German offensive to take Stalingrad, the battle inside the city, and the Soviet counter-offensive which eventually trapped and destroyed the 6th Army and other Axis forces around the city was the second large-scale German defeat of the Second World War. In Soviet and Russian historiography the struggle included ten campaigns, strategic and operational level operations. - wiki

this style of comedy was also funny in england.

in 1942.

ooooh thanks Jonny. I'll sift now

I hate lists like this because the propose to be a Top 10 FPS's of all time, but it seemed like more than 1/2 of them were released in the last 4 years. I do have to give props for them at least including Duke3D and not completely ignoring common sense.

To me the Top 10 will always have to include innovation and an evolution in not only technology but gameplay as well.

So here are at least 8 that should have/were on the list:

Doom - As fun as Wolf3D was, Doom was funner. Besides, everything exploded after Doom.

Duke3D - For adding in crazy weapons, jumping, crouching, looking up/down, jetpacks, crazy locations, etc, etc.

Quake - For kickstarting polygonal, online deathmatch multiplayer goodness.

System Shock 2 - Bioshock was just SS2 in a new, pretty wrapper. SS2 added RPG like elements, a great story, etc.

Unreal Tournament - Taking multiplayer to the next step with customization and Bot AI that was just uncanny.

Half-Life - For creating a truly immersive world; it was like playing inside a $200 million dollar blockbuster movie, as opposed to just watching it. (Still my #1 video game of all time. Where the hell is Black Mesa Source already??? )

Deus Ex - For doing emergent gameplay right. Want to go in gun's blazin'? Check. Want to go stealthy? Check. Want to hack instead? Check. Want to switch back and forth among these different elements depending on what any given situation called for? Check.

Tribes/Battlefield 1942 (tie) - For taking online multiplayer outdoors and giving gamers vehicles to drive around in. I never got a chance to get into Tribes, but I do recognize innovators when I see them. I still remember the first day I loaded Wake Island (BF1942 demo); some of the best DM memories are still linked to that day.

Now with all that said, where is my Duke/Descent/Freespace/Battlefield/WoW/Deus Ex/Half-Life hybrid I've been waiting for??

These are fixed. Thanks for the hard work.
