Mourne

Well, I've always been for playing Don't Stop Believing by Journey in favor of overrated--you get the point. I do love this thread, though. It's tremendous. It's practically claiming everyone in America put it to a vote and this was the song that came out on top.

Oh, and while we're generalizing, good job at Stalingrad, bro.

It really isn't about intelligence; some people have been conditioned to believe in the paranormal due to external factors. Very, very, very few people are skeptical from an early age--more likely, they are always searching for something interesting in their daily existences, and as children and youngsters, they are able to meld the idea of the paranormal into their usual routine fantasies. As we get older, most mature adults find a means of dispelling the paranormal (but not actively). The truth is, people are extremely good at fooling themselves--that's all there is to it. We want our occasionally-mundane days to be filled with the unknown because it is just that, it's exciting and completely unknown to us. Have you ever wondered why virtually every magician is an advocate of the anti-paranormal? It's simply because magicians know better than anyone not how people are fooled, but how people fool themselves.

That said, anyone who holds an active belief in the paranormal beyond their mid-20s is not intellectually sound. That does not mean they are not smart or that they are dumb, it merely means that they are unable to contemplate the subject from an uncompromising intellectual position. This can result from many things, most commonly social conditioning and--especially--tradition itself.  (Controversially, this also applies to religion, but that's a different debate.)

For anyone here who does believe in the paranormal, there's a million dollars in it if you can find evidence for it. The challenge has been in place since 1964 with mounting amounts of money on-hand and has tested hundreds of applicants, and yet, somehow, no one has ever been able to proceed past the very first round. In fact, such tests are available in all areas of the world and yet still these psychics and ghost hunters and purporters of the paranormal have never once been able to win one. Hmm!

 No, it isn't. "

Yet another instance of Sony not thinking things through. By putting so much emphasis on this yearly subscription and touting all that they can do with it, they are unintentionally nodding to Microsoft with a, "Hey, you were right."
 
The downside of this for anyone who buys into this nonsense is that Sony won't be improving the one thing the PS3 really needs to tune desperately (by comparison)--online play.

Why do they keep harping on the comedy angle? Literally all of the press material for it so far is focusing on the wacky aspect of the weapons and how zany it all is. Case Zero had the first glimpse of anything even remotely serious and it was actually nice, but they're still playing up the 'comic' side of this. Is this a way of pre-empting people who think this follow-up to a very serious game is campy and the like?

Depressed...?

Allllll riiggghty.

Should be "SakanaAction".

Due to the outrage, she'll be back next year and better than ever.
 
In all honesty, though; that bombcast was awful. I couldn't listen to it for more than a few minutes. It was a travesty to the ears and had people speaking and yelling over one another like it was a Yankees game.
