Am I going to be spanked again? 😬

That sounds boring as all ****ing hell.

It's pretty funny, though not nearly as entertaining as blank101's fics.

Boardwalk Empire is one hell of a show. Also Janus, how the hell do you kill Namir? I've been using stealth for most of the game and don't have any real weapons other than that laser gun which quite frankly, blows.

Harry is hyperintelligent and raised by scientists and interested in sparking the singularity via magic. Voldemort horcruxed the Voyager probe that left the Solar System.

Link?

Enjoy.

This story is either fvcking amazing or fvcking retarded. I may have to read this. Anything Transhuman interests me.

Speaking of Transhuman I am an utter failure at stealth. Like I stealthed my way through Deus Ex and Invisible War, but shit, I've just been murdering people most of my way through Human Revolution.

You'd love MoR.

DX is stunning in every way but I can't seem to get past Namir thus far.

I briefly looked through the chapter titles . . .

Jesus Fvcking Christ. Everything from Bayes to the Standford Prison Experiment. Some of that shit gets up into 400+ level coursework.

Haven't gotten that far yet. Only got the full game like yesterday.

EDIT - For some reason it posted twice . . . whatever. This forum uses a really old version of PHP.

Hitchens vs. Craig is great. So was Dawkins vs. Lennox.

I want to know what makes you think this, preferably without watching three hours of... it.

Would you be kind enough to summarize?

Enjoy.

This looks promising.

If I spend my four day weekends reading this instead of doing coursework I will come for you.

Dawkins acts like an *******.

Hitchens vs Craig

Hitchens spews pathos flavored BS. Craig tries to make the cosmological argument sound . . . sound and fails.

Because all of these guys are incredibly intelligent and well educated men arguing (for and against) the merits of religion.

Craig is interesting because he's a devout Christian and an uncommonly skilled debater (so much that many at least one atheist website grudgingly asserts that he wins all of his debates with atheists). Sam Harris, a noted atheist and scientist, says that [Craig] puts "the fear of God" into Harris's fellow atheists.

This kind of flies in the face against what is normally found, so it's interesting.

I don't like it nearly as much as Z., but it is very good. I've been engrossed in blank's new fic, though.

Blank wrote the OT revision, yes? Is this new work related?

Spoiler:
regardless, link?

First, a spoiler:

Spoiler:
Don't take the LIMB clinic upgrade chip in Hensha. If you do, you lose control of your augments during the battle.

Second, there's a laser rifle in Tong's hideout in the sewers. Grab it, keep it. You can really lay down the smackdown on him with that, even without serious mods.

Third, it's worth your while to invest in inventory mods for the hardest difficulty playthru. That way you can use the stockpiled shotgun shells, rocket launcher from the Belltower port in Hengsha, and the boatload of stungun darts you should have left.

EMP grenades. Hoard em for bosses.

If you didn't keep adequate saves and you are simply being overwhelmed by Namir's ninja ass, consult the sole FAQ on Gamefaqs.com. It's stealth-oriented.

I've been engrossed in blank's new fic, though.

What.

Z
What.

Yup, Empire's Son. I've been following it for many months now, and it's pretty darn good.
