I think eating is the base of human civilization. Human culture definitely breaks down if they don't eat.

I'm not saying violence is necessarily bad, I'm just calling you out on your "I don't believe in murder" bullshit. You 100% believe in murder, it seems to be a staple of your political agenda.

I don't think it's justified to tell yourself that you're not a murderer, but you'll totally kill people for not doing your own ridiculous demands. "I want you to burn down your house and go live somewhere else, if you come back, I'll kill you. But that totally doesn't make me a murderer because I gave you a choice between completely fucking your life up and death."

Killing people because a book told you to is the most literal definition of a psychopath I can think of. You're no better than a Muslim extremist, the only difference is you're a Jewish extremist.

Incorrect. I deleted system32 from Linux five years ago, and haven't looked back since.

I'm not verifiable certain, but I'm pretty sure Windows doesn't let you cut/paste system32. As far as I know, only an admin-enabled line input from powershell can force its deletion.

It still completely blows my mind that you play Kingdom Hearts. This is the only time I'll say this but Rushy, you're adorable.

It is a manly man game for men. I'd beat the shit out of people with a giant key, wouldn't you?

I would talk shit about people who buy them, but as soon as Kingdom Hearts 3 comes out I am getting a PS4. It's inevitable.

Uhh, guys.

US and British spies have reportedly infiltrated online games such as World of Warcraft in an effort to identify terrorist threats, according to media reports.

Yeah, that's totally why they're playing video games all day, they're looking for terrorists. The media is fucking retarded. If you worked for a government agency that has zero oversight, what would you do? Because I would tell my boss to fuck off and play games all day too.

It's because there is a dedicated portion of the hardware that just goes into making the Kinect work. If Microsoft let the games use that bit, they'd run much better. Or at least that's what I've read.

Rumor bullshit from fanboys. The Xbox One and PS4 both suck at graphics because they use hardware from 2010. My computer is roughly 8 times more powerful than the Xbox One and 7 times more powerful than the PS4 and I'm using 2011 hardware. These consoles may be "next-gen" but they are not "current-gen."

I remember when they announced the specs it surprised me just how bad the hardware is. They're only marginally better than the old systems.

I'd say of all the newest generation consoles, the Xbone is the best. The operating system is fluid, and intuitive, and it seems to be pretty powerful. The demo at work runs Battlefield 4 at what looks like a constant 60 FPS.

Console gamers have no idea what Battlefield 4 is even supposed to look like.

I'm pretty sure they made the Xbox One big enough to fit a couple whole 360s in there

The Xbox One is large enough to contain precisely one Xbox One.

I wonder why they actually did turn off backwards compatibility.  I mean, it's not like they couldn't have built an emulation layer.  The damn thing's powerful enough.

Emulation is not a software issue, it's a hardware one. The original PS3 could only emulate PS2 games because they literally built a PS2 into the damn thing. The Xbone's architecture is too radically different from an Xbox 360 for proper emulation. Same goes for the PS4.

Your post history is sort of like a computer driver related discussion I had with PizzaPlanet and Parsifal. I mean, I had no idea what I was talking about, and they knew that, but did I know that? Looking back on it I know that, but I didn't know that at the time. One day you'll look back on this discussion and think to yourself "well, I didn't know it at the time, but I was dumb, and everyone knew it but me."

Like I said, I was making a general statement. Making up a statistic would be saying something like '1 in 6,596,312 chance'. But if you prefer, drop numbers. I believe the odds are small that an ordered universe could come from nothing. Like I said, ever play 52 Pickup? You believe otherwise. Since theism is the default position of most people in the world, the onus is on the atheist to prove us wrong. Ultimately, the question can't be resolved w/ certainty, obviously. And yes, to answe your implied question, I have 2 degrees & a graduate degree, thank you.

Ah, in that case I have two graduate degrees and a doctorate. I mean, if you're going to make shit up, might as well do it full steam ahead, eh? Look, your posting history paints the picture for me. Your incessant trolling isn't even amusing anymore.

I was talking about consoles, but okay.

There is no under-the-hood difference between the current gen consoles and a PC.

It's also significantly easier to un-brick a PC.

This statement is all kinds of silly.
