Especially in a Viagra commercial.

Nothing gives gravitas like a slide whistle.

Well... that certainly explains my last Viagra purchase.

I guess I stand corrected, most gamers are now grumpy old men pining for the glories of yesteryear.

Fuck me, no wonder they advertize Viagra during X-Play.

I hear what you guys are saying, I just don't feel the same way. I guess part of it is that I don't really get the appeal of first person shooters anymore. I sorta liked 'em back when Doom was a hot name in gaming, and when I was young enough to think Duke Nukem 3D was groundbreaking for its mature themes. The last one I really liked was Half-Life, but that's because it heavily incorporated story elements, not because of the game mechanics (which were far from groundbreaking).

I thought Gears of War was a refreshing change of pace, and IMO presented the first real gameplay innovations we've seen in shooters since Doom. I'm glad there's been a lot of copying of their cover mechanics, since it adds real tactical considerations like cover fire and flanking to firefights. It's not enough to really make me a shooter fan again, but it's enough to keep me from being annoyed at developers for just continually putting new paint on 20-year old game mechanics.

I guess I just generally prefer action-adventure or sandbox games nowadays. Combat shouldn't be 100% of what games are about anymore as far as I'm concerned. If developers still want to make shooting the centerpiece of gameplay, then it should at least require some thought along the way, and force you to change weapons and tactics every now and then so it doesn't get stale.

Reverting back to "classic" shooter mechanics just seems like a step in the wrong direction to me.

Oh, and full disclosure, the only modern shooters I've played are Resistance, Gears, and Halo. Maybe I'm just missing out on something new and unique that everyone knows about from CoD or Battlefield, but from the sound of the reviews, I kinda doubt it.

Oh look, someone with a "The Invisible Hand Of The Market will sheperd and protect us all" attitude!

Your argument is self defeating: Quinine has been in use for a very long time and no really better drug has been discvoered. Yet "there are more than 225 million cases of malaria, killing around 781,000 people each year according to the World Health Organisation's 2010 World Malaria Report, 2.23% of deaths worldwide. The majority of deaths are of young children in sub-Saharan Africa. Ninety percent of malaria-related deaths occur in sub-Saharan Africa." (From wikipedia)

I don't know of a single death from Erectile Dysfunction that could have been prevented if Viagra would have been invented earlier.

And since there is way more money to be made from giving old white guys a few last boners than saving millions of por people from malaria, we still don't have one effective drug against it.
Three cheers for privatizing the medical sector!

Oh look. Someone with a anti-rich, anti-white guy rant. I mean it's not like we haven't been using things like Quinine for nearly 500 years to treat it or anything, and it's not like europeans didn't figure out what worked or anything.
Cheers. That "private medical sector" did just fine.

Something to keep in mind when reading about coffee research is to check and see whether or not the "coffee" they refer to is a caffeine supplement or if it truly is coffee. It is found that coffee and synthetic caffeine supplements are very different with regards to how the body processes them and their effects. Pharmacists will tell you focusing on one chemical compound without researching how the other compounds and how they interact with each other is bad science. Which is way "coffee research" should focus on the over all product and not just one chemical compound.

Everything we put in our body has negative and positive consequences what we have to figure out when using an item for its benefit is whether or not the negatives are of bigger consequence then the positives.

i.e. which is worse, high blood pressure or not getting a boner? Thanks to Viagra old men everywhere now get to reconcile this decision regularly.

I just think they have a target in mind. For example they probably wont go into pentathol and then demonstrate it by euthanizing an animal.


they don't need to but i'm pretty sure if they covered it they would not shy away from saying "its used to euthanise animals" - not alued to that as its main usage but then skip around saying specifically what its used for by only describing what it does on a cellular level. also for example why bring up Viagra if all you are going to talk about is the raw chemical and how it dilates blood vessels when Viagra is marketed primary as a erectile disfuntion drug?

the word penis/erection or discusoin on the scientific raw facts of sex should not have a age restriction on them. the problem hear is simply that they alluded to something rather than just saying it which is out of character for the videos where they have no problem specifcly saying the use for other chemicals or what they do to things on a practical level.

No one thinks thay should have gone into full graphical detail on how penises and sex work ( although that is lagimitely as interesting as any other thing) its just a case of being mature and not continuing useless cultural hangovers.

>> ^deathcow:

I think a lot of kids watch this series of vids and they just dont want to talk about vigorous erections.


Why not ? whats mental is he alludes to the whole erection thing constantly if he had just said about the blood vessel thing and that was it that would be fine , what is weard with this is the effort to allude to what it does to the penis without just staiting it in a nomal scentific way,

in fact this is a grate opertunity to have some basic sex eduction in a non stuffy way where a kid can go oh right thats how an erection works without having it all be conected to Sex all the time.


lol idiot attitudes to sex any me as much as religion its the same sort of retarded culturally passed taken for granted mind set

>> ^Kerotan:

Come on guys, he is a grey haired nutty professor presenting something that is most likely shown in schools, along with it being pretty common for scientists to not be the most fluid of communicators, and you are surprised he doesn't talk with the confidence of dan savage about sex?
Really?
Criticise the man on his chemistry, rather than his skill as a sex advice consultant.


NO the piont is he is a scientist i'm not asking him to go on about the penis and be a promoter of sex im asking him to treat the penis or sexal organs in the same way he would treat a chemical or anything else its all the same thing .

the fact that it might be shown in schools makes it evan more important that he talks about everything directly related to it equally for the resoins i said in my original comment.

it might be the falt of the guy produing the video rather than the scentist specifacly as most scentists wouldnt care. im just saying its an issue with this video.

Your video, The chemical properties of Viagra, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

I still have the Viagra Pop-up Book.

Once opened it won't close for 4 hours.

WAKKA WAKKA!

Petrol is like Viagra for mortars.

So today he's all concerned for the poor travellers getting delayed by people fed up with with the erosion of rights, but tomorrow he'll say "See, almost no one protested - the people are for forced federal fondling feelups!". Be sure to take your viagra 30 minutes before being screened!

Oh dude, you lost your new camera? Shit. Well it sounds like you still had a good time, which is awesome. And for the sunburn, get some vitamin E lotion. Trust me.

Glad you're back in one piece. Rum and cokes have been known to break men. Maybe you'll have a pirate accent now.

Hey! All back from Cuba! Boy did I get used to "Cuba Libres" pretty quick

I will send you a link to the vids I took, slight delay on that, you see I ended up on the beach in the small hours with a bottle of rum, which lead to night swimming and leaving the fancy pants new camera on the beach... guess I made some beachcombers day!

So when I get a camera to read the sole surviving SD card with I will be able to load em up.

You were right about the sunscreen too, now I can finally say I've had sunburn bad enough to gimme a nosebleed!

Monday back in work was hard, thinking I was snorkelling a shipwreck in the bay of pigs on Friday.

As long as you're going to Cuba, pick me up some cheap prescription drugs. Like Viagra. It's for....a friend.

Hey, have a blast. If you get any cool videos load 'em up on YouTube or whatever so I can see them. And use plenty of sunscreen. You know how you Irishmen burn in the sun.
