Yep. Even though the game is basically little more than a tech demo and couple of short puzzles, you can really see the potential. I solved it once, and then went through again after realizing that there were lots more ways to beat each puzzle than I had thought. Once you realize that you can...
Believe me, its lots of fun even if its only sort of a proof of concept design. My favorite is putting two portals in the floor and seeing how high I can "fall," or putting one of the torches into an infinite loop.
If the new portal game sounds exciting, then check this out:

It's a free indie game basically using the same concept... and lo and behold, see what happens in their blog? Valve hired them. :cheese: So basically, this is where Portal...

The guys who made this little puzzle game were hired by Valve to take it professional. Portal is the result.
The game's pretty old graphics, but the gameplay is actually lots of...
It was the booby prize: the best that Christian Nation nuts could do at the very very height of anti-atheist hysteria.
And guess what: our country is still overwhelmingly populated by Christians. It's just that this doesn't make us a Christian nation anymore than most americans being white...
What's really amusing about the Christian Nation nonsense is that when the constitution was first debated and signed, the right wing of the day denounced it as satanic, godless, and said that america was doomed to failure because it would not acknowledge Jesus. It's only the most grudging that...
I'm against late term abortions except for medical reasons... but then contrary to the lies of most pro-lie people, that's pretty much where the law stands anyway, so what's all the fuss.
Additionally, anyone that thinks that zygotes deserve rights and cows don't has like, missed the game of...
Since there is no way to get more ammo aside from stealing another gun (which isn't actually all that hard or uncommon), it does seem like sort of a waste.
However, if their stats show, as I assume they must from my experience, that virtually every player is dying long before they exhaust...
Film grain sort of seems cool... accept if the idea is realism, then it sorta seems weird. My grandfather assures me that when he fought in WW2, there was no "film grain" effect on his eyes. :)
Many of the 10C would be flatly unconstitutional to require by law. The idea that they are the foundation of US law is a joke that only the most deluded could ever believe.
Dictionaries are guides to common usage. In the case of atheists, atheists have long been slandered and demonized.
If someone asks me if I believe in God, I say no. That person will then call me an atheist. Then that person will insist that atheist means the doctrine or belief that there...
I still don't see why people can't get this into their heads. Whether you have a belief or not is a binary proposition. How you define atheism is a different, and irrelevant, issue. No matter how you define it, there are believers, and there are non-believers, and everyone falls into one or...
I think in life, such internal feelings pretty often prove to be pretty unreliable. It's very very easy to convince yourself of something, or interpret some mental process this way or that.
That doesn't really make sense. What you are doing is begging the question: assuming that someONE...
Nonsense. Gnosis means knowing or knowledge. The prefix "a" means without. Agnosticism means without knowledge. Originally, when Huxley first coined the word, he used it to mean the idea that knowing whether or not God existed was impossible. Nowadays, we use the word in a weaker sense: not...
