  • Stupid people outnumber smart people, it's a fact.

    Population is aging, it's a fact.

    Fact + Fact = FACT.

    FACT.

        • I'd like a more indepth explanation with mathematical proof, thanks.

          • Anybody tried the Strong Bad games btw? Heard of them, but not if they are good. Is it a must to know the comic? Since I've never read it...

            • What's the latest worldwide numbers for console sales btw? Just read that Wii has sold 38% more than the same time last year. The article didn't say what time period that is though. It did say that Wii has sold a total of 34.55 million units, but no mention of the sales numbers for the other consoles. Wii sold 10.1 million the first half of the year and Nintendo expects to sell 27.7 million this fiscal year (until march 2009). Again no comparision. I'd guess you have something up your sleeve, Asher?

              • I don't keep the LTD sales handy. Maybe you could figure out how to use Google.

                • A proof as old as time

                  Definition: "God" means someone or something that is both omniscient and omnipotent.

                  Assume there is such a being (eg, assume God exists).

                  Because it's omniscient, it knows all of the mathematical sets that are even possible. This means not just the ones humans may eventually discover, create, of prove...but all such sets.

                  Because it's omnipotent, it can construct the set of all sets.

                  Because it's omniscient, it knows for each set whether that set contains itself as an element or not. (For example, the set of all sets does contain itself as an element.)

                  Because it's omnipotent, it can construct the subset of the set of all sets such that the set doesn't contain itself (the Russell set). But now we have a contradiction: the set contains itself if and only if it does not contain itself.

                  This means our assumption was false -- that God does exist.

                  QED.

I plan to use my monitor instead, a somewhat old 17inch LG flat panel with a resolution of 1280x1024. I know the 360 supports that resolution, but I also know that the games were meant to be played in 720p. Will some games look like ****?
                    I guess that would be OK, so long as you buy an HDTV as soon as possible, and never mention your pre-HD dark times ever again.

                        It's an old game - I can get 4 new disks for that price.
                        Stupid Microsoft hiding fees. Nevermind, sorry about that..

                        Their disc replacement program is the same butt-rape that the other publishers have.
                        You've just proven signature advertising works!

                        • I just read on a french gaming site (which is associated to IGN) that microsoft will refund 40euros (via mail ) to anyone who will buy a XBOX360.

                          I have the form that I must sent to them via mail, but I only found one from Microsoft France.

                          Is this offer valid for Microsoft Canada or USA?

                            • 360 prices here are insane now - you can get an Arcade version for £100, or I just saw a deal with GoW, GoW2 and Fallout3, with a 60GB Premium 360 for £200.
