  1. I'll probably snag Dead Rising 3 soon. I loved the first one. Halo and Titanfall when they arrive.
  2. I'm really surprised at the negative publicity Ryse has been getting. I thought it was good.
  3. Damn that sucks. Heard both consoles had a few hiccups with consoles.
  4. Amazon dropped it off to my door Friday along with FIFA 14 and Ryse. Honestly loving both of them. Anyone else on playing?
  5. Hate people that buy up all the stock just to resell. Totally screws over everyone else who actually wants to own one. Granted, they should have just all pre-ordered one so those twats who bought 6 pre-orders would be effed.
  6. My bro got one on release day and Kill Zone looked slick as hell graphics wise. Hearing about issues with online content and some PS4 death. I'll probably wait for the post-Christmas deals and see if another Red Ring of Death type issue comes up with either system before shelling out the cash. Absolutely was going to buy PS4 if Microsoft had stuck with their ill-conceived pay-for-used policy and always connected requirement. Probably will stick with Xbox now though if nothing major comes out.
  7. Bros, I hate to break it to you, but murder and voter fraud are already against the law. They can't happen as a result. All your data is flawed.
  8. Interesting. Only downside is they did not adjust for miles driven in the car as a 23% decrease in claim rate could be attributed to 23% decrease in average miles driven in a car, aka the same claim rate per mile driven. Maybe they did? Can anyone find the actual study info? But I like to think we're better anyway!
  9. Does the sim take taxes and brokerage fees into account?
  10. Odd that no matter how hard I look, I can't find this guy's study about GMO soy-fed mice anywhere on the internet nor any reputable scientific website when looking for "Alexey Surov Mice Soy". Only copy and pasted versions of this same story on various anti-GMO and holistic websites. The only study actually referenced in the article is about mice with hair in their mouths (http://www.truefoodfoundation.org/ectopia-from-gmo.pdf), which mentions nothing about GMO diets, only a random speculation without any supporting evidence and, CONTRARY to the IRT article, does NOT mention anything about dietary composition, let alone GMO soy content of the mice. IMO, the inclusion of this segment and misrepresentation of the data makes this article rather suspect. Regardless, massive overfeeding of anything can cause problems. Excessive vitamin B6 leads to permanent burning peripheral neuropathy. Obesity leads to infertility, excessive bicycle riding leads to infertility, excessive alcohol leads to brain and liver damage.
  11. Gotta agree, no blur of the body of the motorcycle only the lights? Skeptical.
  12. How can you prove voter fraud if you can't prove who is voting? O.o
  13. Please reference one SPECIFIC GMO crop that is dangerous, on the shelves at Kroger, and note the gene added and why it is a threat to my health. Otherwise it's no different than the holistic/naturalistic hippies who tout all the generic "toxins" that seep out of your body by drinking Goji juice or wrapping your body in exotic leaves.
  14. What if consuming GMO corn during pregnancy causes autism?
  15. I'm all for free market and what not, but there is a role in this kind of stuff. How bad does something have to be before you're willing to have the government step in and intervene? Back in the 50's thalidomide was given to pregnant women for morning sickness and caused horrible birth defects. Should we just say "people know the risks and can choose to take it?"
  16. Gotta agree with Magz here. Even "Non-GMO" products are still likely descendants of some human-influenced plant. Whether it was Mendel cross-breeding peas or some biotech company increasing expression of a corn gene responsible for making more vitamins. Problem lies in what you're expressing: vitamins? resistance to pesticides/herbicides? etc. It's not fair to blanket label all them into the same category as different potential risks would exist. As for trans fats, there's no question they're incredibly harmful. Ironically, if you want to find TONS of trans fats in foods, look no further than the MREs we serve to our military. It's horrendous. You'll find 3-5 GRAMS of trans fat per item of food in those things. And lets be realistic here: how many of you actually read the ingredient list of everything you buy? Even "zero trans fat" products manipulate their serving size to make that claim.
  17. I've had a 42" Panasonic Viera 1080p plasma since 2008 with no issues and I've never felt the need to get a new one, and I'm prone to love upgrading. And as a caveat, plasmas get warm, it's not like they're gonna affect your room temperature or something like that.
  18. I assume you mean faster than the Harley big twins?
  19. Same here. I just use a different mechanism to get that money to people.
  20. No kidding. 2009 was the last time I went hunting out there and snagged one of the bigger doe they've seen out there.
