Yeah, but it's different than what it was doing a few minutes earlier. (i.e., couldn't even see the server list)

I think that's the main point they had, that there was a change, not that this was something that had never happened before.

So... when the Joker kills a thousand people, Batman insists on arresting him and giving him a "fair" trial. This lays the groundwork for the Joker escaping and killing a thousand people.

Can we blame Batman for not killing him in any of this nonsense?

Very hard to offer suggestions or troubleshoot with no information.

I don't "just see the words." I've felt their impact at the core of my brain for well over two decades. The difference between Hawking and I, besides him being vastly more intelligent and driven, is that I no longer care. Which leads to my response to FX.



I absolutely agree with everything you just typed. Unfortunately, FX, as a country we're far more interested in paying some moron millions a year to run across the grass with a ball than we are with funding space exploration. We're more concerned with which bad singer is getting insulted by some English twit than we are with funding asteroid/comet deflection. Our "leaders" (yes, ALL of them) are far more interested in getting reelected than actually guiding the populace away from our own self-destruction.

Fatalistic attitude? Yup. I'll own up to that. I'll change my tune if I ever see a change in society's mindset regarding reality. Sadly, I know I'll never be changing my tune.

And given that Massively is contained within the definition of MMO, can you really have a Multiplayer online game that is massive and micro at the same time?
