Okay, all additional 'holier than though' ridiculously over-reactive comments aside, how the hell did this make the top fifteen? Honestly people, what the hell is wrong with you that you upvote such meaningless drivel? It's not funny, nor thought-provoking, nor sexy, nor informative, it doesn't elicit an emotional response of any kind. I come to this site for better stuff than this crap guys.

Here's what Christians should realize (I am an atheist). God gave us the highest functioning brains on the planet so that we could make our own decisions, come up with ideas and inventions and better ourselves in our pursuit to godliness. Therefor, God gave us the ability to both discover and engineer cures and treatments for the disorders that plague us and, shockingly, would probably want us to use this wonderful gift he has allowed us to come up with in order to prevent suffering. Idiots.

God I love J.K. Simmons.

Sir or madam, it is clear that this site is not for you. Please go back to youtube where your sophomoric comments will make you feel accepted by the thousands of others who, while having a mind, refuse to use it.


Upvote for the amazing and insightful sift.

Agree and disagree - as a PC MMO player, ya, WoW - big game that's awesome and amazing and and ... but DC Universe plays and is obviously catering to a PS3 audience, so that is actually something to take into consideration when you do a review. What other games are there, how are they different, and junk.
Enjoy these reviews nonetheless, just wish it wasn't such a cheapshot all the time.

So catering to a PS3 audience means designing a shitty MMO? There's great qualities in console games that you can emulate, instead of just taking the PC MMO model and dumbing it down.


Out of curiosity, have you even played the game? The game play itself is significantly harder to master than WoW, requiring that you use combos, dodge incoming attacks and decide power roles. Additionally, having only six powers to choose from means you must use actual strategy in choosing which ones you will be using.

On top of that, they are going to a completely unique MMO game experience. It's plays much more like Arkham Asylum than WoW with fun dialogue, several actual story lines, and the ability to play the game for a short period of time and still manage to accomplish something (about friggin time MMOs), and you can go through the entire game solo without any issues.

Obviously it has some issues...the chat system is horrid and for the most part people rarely use it. Some of the powers are a little buggy, there are a couple of known sound issues, etc. Fairly minor stuff considering its recent release date.

Oh, and there's just something awesome about chasing Lex Luther to the Hall of Doom because he has kidnapped Superman (while they supposedly teamed up to take on Brainiac), confronting him, then challenging him in said Hall of Doom in order to save the Man of Steel.

Sadly, although deep down I knew that the title of this video was sarcastic, I was hoping I would be surprised and find that it was actually a school of enlightened, modern Muslims who taught love for others. Sigh. This world baffles me.

I don't follow.


Haha, okay. Then how about this: The color of the object involved does not necessarily have an effect on the kind of light that can pass through it. I could find seven different green translucent materials that might all have differing energy gaps, even though they all look green.

This leaves me with another question, unfortunately.
Let's stick with his example of green being high energy and red being low.
The photon only gets through the material if it's not strong enough to excite an electron. This makes sense for a translucent red material. The material's energy gap could be large enough to allow red light through but block all other.
This does not make sense for translucent green material. If the material's energy gap were large enough to allow green light through, it would also allow red light through, resulting in a translucent yellow material. This would seem to allow only red, orange, and then increasingly grey/colorless shades of yellow.
So what's missing from this explanation?

As I understand it(and I'm not sure I understood the question): Red is on a very low enegy level, so if the "energy gap" is large enough to let red pass, green will also pass, which means the light will be moving towards the white end of the spectrum. This means that if you want to make a translucent green material you need materials that absorbs or displace red (such as green plants)



Actually, because visible green light is at a higher energy level than red light, if an objects energy gap is high enough to let green light through, then red light will also pass through because it has even lower energy levels, not the other way around.

As far as a translucent green material is concerned, when we perceive an object to have color, it is because that objects atoms are arranged in such a way that it reflects that wavelength of light (green in this case) back to our eye, while either absorbing, refracting or letting pass through photons of other wavelengths. Just because a piece of glass is green does not mean it will not allow other higher and lower energy photons to pass through it.

I hope this clarifies things for you a bit!

Believe it or not, apparently the tuxedo cat survived. Not only that, according to the vet that worked on the cat, the tuxedo survived because of the additional body heat and forced circulation from the kneading. Will try to post more on the story for you guys in a bit.

EDIT: Apparently the kneading kept the tuxedo cat alive, but after the onlookers were able to get the her to the vet she died sometime after. I made myself sad again.
