I think you misunderstood. I meant the scientists behind the global warming stuff, not scientists in general.
-
I think so far we all agree that we shouldn't take these so called "scientists" too seriously.

I think we just like to think that everything that happens in nature is our fault because that way we think we can do something about it. But disasters happen anyway, regardless of what we do.

Whether you're on the loo, at the bus, at a boring birthday party or just somewhere without access to your regular consoles, these are the games you like to play on the go. They don't have to be handheld exclusives, but they have to be on handheld devices that fit in your pocket. My top 11 (because I like to go one step beyond ): 1. Tetris (Every handheld device ever) About as a expectable as Nintendo releasing a Mario game on each console, Tetris is a game that deserves the number one spot simply because it exists on every handheld device imaginable, even pocket calculators have been programmed for this simple game. The reason? Addictive gameplay that does not rely on realistic graphics but simple gravity. Whether you play it on your mobile, your gameboy or your PSP, Tetris is probably a game that will exist as long as there are electronic devices to play it on. 2. Pokemon Blue/Red (GB) This is the game that started it all. Pokemon Blue and Red are basically the same game but a lot of gamers probably fondly remember trying to catch all of them in this classic title. With unforgetable music that still shines as one of the best soundtracks from the 8bit generation and excellent gameplay solid as a Geodude, this is still one of the best titles in the franchise. 3. Mario Kart DS (NDS) If you are going to play Mario Kart, this is probably the title to go with. Not only did it bring wireless multiplayer to the franchise, it is also one of the finest games ever crafted. It might not be a very realistic racing game, but it certainly is the most fun. 4. Metal Gear Solid (GBC) Metal Gear Solid on GBC is actually not a straight port of the PS1 game but has its own story to play through and feels closer to the MSX2 classic than its PS1 counterpart. The most impressive part of the game are the VR training missions that look almost identical to the PS1 ones. With impressive graphics for a GBC title and a compelling story, the only thing this title lacks is David Hayter. 5. Super Mario Bros. DX (GBC) Super Mario Bros. DX is a port of the original NES Super Mario Bros. and a very good one at that. Not only is it a pixelperfect port of the NES classic, it even adds an overworld map and has a calendar function. It makes the GBA port look outdated in many ways, though the narrow view might scare some off. Otherwise, highly recommended for GBC or GBA owners. 6. Wolfenstein 3D (GBA) While the SNES port of Wolfenstein 3D left a lot to be desired, this Nintendo port actually got it right. Though it lacks quicksave and music, it makes up for it by being pretty much a pixel perfect port of the original DOS game and is free from the censorship that plagued the SNES port. It even uses the shoulder buttons for strafing, making it a lot easier to control, and who can resist shooting Nazi's on the go? 7. Doom II RPG (Mobile) One of the most impressive mobile games to date, Doom II RPG brings 3d graphics to mobile phones in a very impressive manner. With a unique story and a lot of levels to play through, Doom II RPG is one of the highest recommended mobile games. 8. Metroid Fusion (GBA) A GBA exclusive Metroid title and chronologically the last one in the series, Metroid Fusion is one of the finest 2d Metroids crafted, though still not to the level of Super Metroid. Though it's maybe too linear for some Metroid players, it's still a very solid game with great atmosphere and graphics. 9. Super Mario Land (GB) Easily one of the best handheld games ever made, Super Mario Land brought Mario to the handheld world. Though the game's setting is a bit unusual and it has some quirks, it is still a solid platformer. 10. Nintendogs (NDS) Nintendogs is pretty much the new Tamagotchi. Among all the virtual pet games out there, this is probably among the best and really uses the DS capabilities to the max. Probably not as much of a game as it is a simulation, Nintendogs has still captured the hearts of many Nintendo DS owners. 11. Sonic Classics Collection (NDS) Ever wanted to play the oldschool Sonic games on the go? Sonic Classics Collection for Nintendo DS fixes that problem. Even including the option to play as Knuckles in Sonic 2 and 3, this collection is probably the most complete as of yet and even adds save functions. A must-have for any Sonic fan.

Nah, I think Action 52 is the worst game ever made. It even makes ET look playable.

Who needs a cheeseburger apocalypse when you have a green apocalypse?

It is very likely to happen eventually, I think the admins and mods all agree it's a great idea.

If it is being discussed it might happen soon.

At that time we really didn't have so many forum game topics.

I think this is a good idea.

Still Alive VS I want you gone
Alyxx Thorne replied to The Scoutman's topic in Valve Games / Valve Stuff
Still Alive is the catchiest one but in terms of pure songwriting skills, I Want You Gone is the better song for me. Yes there is. Just don't post in the thread if you've never heard them nor care. -
Me too. It seems to be a really fresh game, which is what I'd want Duke to be. A fresh breath of air with all the serious shooters out there.

Dreamfall, the sequel to The Longest Journey. Take a control scheme that could make you kill yourself in frustration, a story with no continuity with the first game whatsoever, horrible voice acting that sounds like they're just reading lines instead of acting, and bad animations, and you've got one of the worst sequels, let alone worst games ever made.

I still see myself as just another member of the forum even if I am part of the site's staff.

If the pit is bottomless, technically it would go through the earth's center and leave a complete hole through the earth. But I think the problem here is that this character lives in a 2d space so there's no space around the actual pit.
