I want to know more about the Adam and Eve crap. I also believe that Desmond is Ezzio, as well as Al Tair. It's very possible that through obtaining the piece of eden, he became immortal in a sense. Desmond sure as hell looks like both of those characters. It has to be realistic though. Who the hell needs an assassin if we have firearms. I would love for them to backtrack to an even earlier time, something like ancient egypt or Babylonia/Sumeria.

No, they're "third-person action-adventures."I never played the first Fallouts, and I felt three was fan-f*cking-tastic. What made the first two better?
They were complete RPG's, without the first person, VATS system. You had a certain number of action points assigned by turn, and you had complete control over everyone in your party. The fight scenes, therefore, were stategic as opposed to the two extremes in F3, (The use of vats till it gets annoying, or the hold your finger down and pray it dies method)
Also, the humor was better. Hilarious things happened around you all the time, and there was better control over random events than in the FPS atmosphere.

Good god. Ten pages to talk about how Imperialism is [b]bad, mkay?This is overkill if ever overkill was. But, on the other hand, I started three days before the deadline (out of a maximum five days allowed), instead of my customary negative seven. There's hope for me yet! [/B]
What class is this for and why is your thesis being decided for you?

Oh no, I got to pick it. It is just that I started with the most pretentious topic possible (it included the word "diaspora"😉 as a guide because I didn't really want to put the thought in before we started researching. So I'm reaping my own reward. (I have since re-worded my topic.)
We are writing a "research paper" for AP English in which do not write a report but instead write an essay built on evidenciary support. We cannot talk about the Death Penalty, religion, evolution, or abortion.
We had two days in the library and then four days to write out 100 notecards for some reason. (quotes for use in-context? nobody paid much attention.)
Now we have four days to get 8-10 pages, which isn't really that much in the grand scheme of things. If anything it is too much, given that I'm only looking at methods and results through a utilitarian lens. (I actually cited Mill in my paper.)
I'm just realizing that using the same premise for History, English, and Economics papers means that you end up writing the same paper for history, english, and economics. 😬

I am so very glad I am no longer in high school. I took a few AP classes my senior year (and promptly failed all of them) but at least in college they don't force you into a paper writing process. I'm writing a 20 page paper on Soviet Communism as a Civil Religion (part of my Soc major) and the only requirements I have are to use Chicago style and back up my thesis (as any upper division student is expected to do.) Otherwise the professor doesn't care how I get it done.
