I happen to love space sims. I'm a huge fan of the wing commander series, and I love Freelancer and X3 (a LOT). I wonder why space sims have lost popularity? The only modern one I can think of is X3, which is pretty much the best one out there period, but it's still sad. We get a new FPS every...

Yeah, my vote is with Photoshop first and foremost, although GIMP can do the same thing. It all depends on what you're used to. That being said, there's nothing out there that will automatically fix your problem for you. And to make matters worse, if you don't have much digital photo...

I hope it's not Diablo. That game series is amazing, just for the fact that is ISN'T an MMO. If they change that, they lose me. :(

While I'm in no hurry to visit anytime soon, I definitely wouldn't let it deter me. Do people stop taking planes to the US after 9/11? Nope. A hijacking is a single, VERY statistically improbable event that is overblown to a massive scale by the mass media.

Ugh, now I realize that I mean "Secret of Mana" and "Illusion of Gaia." Both very good games. :) I'm glad to see I'm not alone here. One thing I didn't mention was the new focus toward online games, too. I would be fine with a multiplayer game that was creative and original, but now...

As somebody who has beaten the original Super Mario Brothers before learning to walk, video games are a huge part of my life. Growing up, games like Chrono Trigger and Secret of Gaia really influenced my creativity, and are still very important to me. Games had a heart and soul, and the ones...

It's tough to run a file host. Not many people truly understand the raw amount of money that goes toward both bandwidth and hosting, even if one has their own servers. I personally only used FileFront very rarely, usually only if I couldn't find the download anywhere else, but nevertheless I'm...

Yeah, the economy has not changed my way of life in the slightest. In fact, I'm actually making more money now than I was before... funny how that works out. The true bad thing about the situation is the media's obsession with how "bad" the economy currently is. They keep repeating over and...

+1 to this. When a society puts a ceiling cap on how much money an individual can have, or even loosely defines "too much money," it takes away the economic freedom of the individual. The way I see it, the limitless freedom of economic opportunity offered in America directly inspires the...

Ideally, I want a future where I can do whatever I want (within reason), and not have restrictions imposed by any government's ever-tightening grip. The less people are allowed to to do, the more they lose the ability to be human, and also to be happy.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great program and all, but sometimes it's irritating when the links provided are exactly the opposite of what you're trying to convey in your website. Example: My website is based around the concept of being childfree - willingly living without having children - and...

Re: Logical Fallacies I'm glad somebody brought this up. It's really frustrating to make an attempt at a serious debate and get: "NO U R A JERK!!!1!1!on1!" I vote for a sticky as well. :)

Most people don't realize that a good percentage of the protein in (non grass-fed) beef comes from the high soy content in the cows' feed. A large percentage of worldwide soybean usage goes to animal feed - vegetarians just skip a step in the protein chain. :) Also, the argument that...

To me, the age itself doesn't matter as much as: 1) Financial stability, and 2) Maturity. Before somebody gets married, they should be able to support themselves as well as their spouse comfortably, and must have realistic expectations of the marriage. That includes not getting the woman...

While I completely agree that those with money should help others, I still belive that they should actually want to. Being forced to give money to the poor by some kind of government or legal action, as seen in socialism, absolutely does not sit well with me.

I figured I'd ask this because politics and philosophy in general (at least in the USA) seem to be turning more socialist every day. It seems like corporations and big businesses are now seen as some looming enemy run by soulless demons in suits instead of something positive. I'll share my...

Well, I was right. It's been less than two weeks, and I've started to see the negative stuff pop up everwhere. What really strikes me as funny is the tabloids, who also have latched onto ol' Biraq. "Is Obama cheating on Michelle? Find out inside!" "Our President's terrible past... and...

We know it's coming. Regardless of how you feel about the new president (and everybody here knows how much I hate the guy), the fact remains that we'll be in the honeymoon period for a few months at least. Everything will be just peachy with the soccer moms, facebookers, and college professors...

To be honest, I'm not a fan of it. The orange and silver is just grating on the eyes, and your layout is cramped and much of the text is off in the margin somewhere. Combine that with the fact that you have two huge banner ads (nothing wrong with advertising, mind ya), and it looks like a...

I'm curious about the eating habits of my fellow x10ers. Personally, I've been a vegetarian (no beef, chicken, fish, pork, etc, but I still consume other animal products like honey and eggs) for about a year now, and I don't miss meat in the slightest. My motivation has nothing to do with the...
