My bad, totally skimmed that. I just assumed you meant the new games.wowThe controls aren't that bad.Yes. Yes, they are.
I started playing F2 a few years ago and got killed in the vault by a radroach simply because I couldn't figure out the controls and the thought of reading through that tome of an instruction book sent shivers down my spine. I gave up after about 20 minutes.
It is literally the same with every other shooter. You don't have to use VATS. And I believe like most modern games it tells you on the screen how to pull up your inventory and how to use VATS.
Fallout 2, not 3.

Don't talk to me PC elitist whore.I play FO on the 360, I hate shooters on PC.How are we supposed to take you seriously when you say things like that?
Maybe if you have the gameplay on easy. and I play FO on the 360, I hate shooters on PC.You click where you want to go and on objects you want to interact with... What's so bad?That's just the problem, in F3 you click on things and they die. That's quality gameplay right there.

Hot spot volcanoes don't account for ridges or volcano arcs parallel to trenches.Actually, this is proof that subduction is happening. As the plates slide underneath each other at the trenches in a process called flux-melting, magma is created and forms volcano arcs that run parallel to the subduction trenches (unless you can explain other reasons for the formation of magma/volcanoes running parallel to trenches according to Flat Earth Theory).
If you look at the map you posted, it clearly shows the oldest part of the crust is the farthest away from the known magma eruptions along the sea-floor (such as the Mid-Atlantic Ridge) as the crust is spread out along the diverging plates which then sink underneath the continental plates.
I see the oldest part of the earth being the areas near the continents. I don't see any direct evidence of subduction. There's simply an idea that it "must" be happening to keep the earth from growing. I think we made it up to account for the fact that the spherical model of earth doesn't grow.
So your answer comes solely from an image of the oldest oceanic crust being next to the continental crust and nothing else. No research into volcanic formation or anything. Gotcha.
Hot-spot volcanism works as well on an expanding plane as on a spherical earth with spreading and subduction.

This is actually a really interesting question. On a spherical earth with tectonic motion, subduction is necessary. That is, in some places like the Mid-Atlantic ridge, spreading occurs, and in places like the trench off the western coast of South America, subduction occurs and the old land slides under itself, and the whole process is in perpetual repetition. However, when one looks at one of many graphical representations of the relative ages of the earth at the sea floor, there isn't any evidence of subduction.Actually, this is proof that subduction is happening.

In this image (and many others like it), red represents "younger" land, and blue the oldest. In these images, I see evidence that the continents are older than everything else, and the only thing happening as far as tectonics is expansion. On a spherical earth, unless the sphere itself is growing, this can't happen. In an infinite plane, it's not entirely out of the question to think that the plane is ever-expanding, particularly when one notes that the overwhelming majority of this expansion appears in the southern hemidisc. Cover the lower half of this image with a hand, then the upper, and compare the amount of area that is red. Also, near the center of the disc (the north pole) the continents are still largely crunched together. Farther south near the ice rim, land masses are greatly fractured and spread widely apart.
Now, of course, this isn't my data so I take it with a grain of salt, but given that simply doing an image search for "sea floor age" (that's how I got this one) returns many, many different images all showing the same relative ages, then I consider them worth a little more salt. It isn't evidence in the empirical sense, but it's certainly compelling. I think geologists simply assume that subduction must happen because an earth that is a fixed sphere demands it, but it's not happening.
It's a typical 4th of July or summer picnic combo. Watermelon is usually included.Who doesn't like fried chicken and watermelon? I think we all know who the real racists are.They did lose out on a tasty lunch.
Fried chicken amd cornbread are almost guaranteed for a celebratory lunch in the south. Never seen watermelon though. Drop the watermelon and they could have passed it as a country-style cookout.

12 Years A Slave. It was powerful, and probably the best film I've seen all year (although I haven't seen as many as I would have liked). The only thing I didn't like about it was the soundtrack, which kept distracting me as it sounded exactly like Inception. Big surprise when it turns out that Hans Zimmer scored it. He needs to do less movies.I really want to see this one. I almost convinced A&A to go down to New Orleans with me for a weekend so I could try and celebrity hunt. I even had the address to the plantation mapped out on my phone.
Bill Nye wasn't debating creationism. Now, I know that was the topic of the debate, but his goal wasn't to try and convince creationists that they were wrong. That's impossible: Ken Ham even said in the debate that his mind couldn't be changed.Interesting. I haven't listened to it but that's the most interesting point I've seen on Bill's behalf.
Bill Nye's goal, and I believe he accomplished it, is the same it's been since the Bill Nye The Science Guy days. He wanted to convince children and young people to use scientific thinking and enter scientific fields. He wasn't speaking to the Young Earth Creationists: He was speaking to their children. He demolished the reasoning behind Ken Ham's belief, but notice how many appeals to the future of science he made? His whole tangent about how important it is to the future of the US economy? His thoughts were on the future of science, not the fact that some people have moronic beliefs.
I don't understand what would be trivial about something the one hits you regardless. Unless you're playing your games on cheesy mode.Yeah, stfu sadaam. We don't need your snarky elitism.
