Re: [Official!] Project Horizons Comment Crew Chat thread.

My only complaint, really, is with the Adem--they're inarguably right, even when they're factually wrong, and they're super-great fighters without equal--one would think there's a nation or clan out there that at least rivals them, but it's yet to be seen. Overall, they struck me as something that was trying really, really hard to be an ideal and interesting society and fell just short of the mark.

Tolkien had his elves. Their only fault was being snobs.

Meanwhile, after 7 years of work, Blizzard's "Project Titan" MMORPG is cancelled.

Huh.

Kind of expected in hindsight with the aluminum case and how thin it is. I wonder what Apple's response will be.

"Hey don't uh, bend your phone folks working as intended"

Maybe if the iphone was .00009 microns bigger thicker this would not be an issue and maybe we could start getting 24 hour battery life from our phones the thing everyone frigging wants.
I love my Nexus 5 size but I will not buy another phone until I can get double the battery life this thing has.

Ah the "iPhone 4 antennae" approach. "It's fine you are just holding it wrong."

I know how you feel, my poor Galaxy S3 can't make it through a day anymore. 

As for a new phone with much better battery, if you are strictly looking at android the new Sony Xperia Z3 has been getting amazing reviews especially in the battery department.

Reviews that argue this: Link, Link, Link, Also compared to the new iPhone

See but look at that last link

The publication used a custom web-script designed to replicate the power consumption of typical real-life usage to measure battery life. In this, the Sony Xperia Z3 topped the chart with a whopping 9h29m of on-screen time.

This happens to be quite a feat since the smartphone has just a 3100mAh battery, smaller than the 4100mAh battery in the efficient Ascend Mate7. The Huawei Ascend Mate 7 managed a second place with a solid 9h3m of screen time

9 and a half hours of screen time great? Why not give me the 4100mAh battery for 25% more battery life, I'd love a 12 hour battery life.

Robobait?:

And that is why I was glad I didn't have a Roommate in college


Had a dream last night that felt like a mix between a cheap high school sitcom and X-Men: Days of Future Past

The thing that really stuck with me about it was that Colossus could make things metal by touching them, even other people, but it was more of an immobilization technique...

And for some reason he was making out with Iceman in an empty refrigerator in front of the school at one point

I was more confused as to where the fridge came from...Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

How're ya'll this morning?

[iLateralGX]

Personally I would be more than happy with 9 1/2 screen on time, as would most people I know.

I can see where you are coming from though and I think if the battery were removable it would be less of an issue.

"Let's see how small we can make a device that's focused on a touch screen before people start complaining"

Well, with the iWatch, I think they've reached it

...

What do you mean we can't call it the iWatch?

No matter how good their shit is, it probably won't even be close to Mark of the Ninja's level.

Key word: "Probably"

There's always a chance...

The things you see in the Halo fandom...:

Should we be worried?

[Stringtheory]

*sigh*...I'm stuck waiting for someone from EA customer service to get back to me about getting Mass Effect 1&2 DLC for my steam copies. I think they're putting me off on purpose...

They already got my money, I bought it through steam.

What's annoying for me is that it says that the codes have already been redeemed which is false, since this is the first time I'm installing ME2, so my codes were reused somehow...

[Vinylshadow]

It's EA, what else did you expect?

They want your money and your soul

Don't have a bible or quran on hand to check the quotes, but this seems interesting.

Tl;dr: allegedly christians (and also probably muslims) are supposed to keep their faith to themselves, and charity is to be a private affair and not publicized / shown off.

Yes, it was one of the many things He called the Pharisees out on. It also bears mentioning the woman that, while others made it clear that they were tithing massive sums to the Temple, dropped in two tiny coins--that happened to be everything she owned. She was the one that walked away blessed by Him.

[Ironmonger]

I don't even:

I suppose I'll add this to the reasons why I believe Charity is no basis on which to design a social safety net. (*)

Played more destiny, I think I like this game because the structure is familiar to me. The story ends in a really weird spot, but I guess I really shouldn't say ended, bungie's said they plan the game to be around for ten years. And reaching the end of the story I can say it feels like it's just being set up.

[Vinylshadow]

Oh?

More half-assed sequels?
