Some guys are complete Pervs on defiance

ah.. but is it really "improvement"?

when was the last time man evolved?.... Been a REALLY long time.... why is that?

because we control our environment.. everything about it, and still participate in other activities that rely on our earlier features.. thus.. things that would no longer be needed are still around, and thus we have not made any changes on an evolutionary scale, positive or otherwise. these "Improvements" have really just put us on a path of destruction. Better mortality rate, longer life, less death, against a planet that is the same size it was in the beginning... we are growing, and one day there will be more mouths to feed than we have food for. Perhaps that scenario will be enough for us to evolve something.. good chance we may produce less children, our diets may change (but will it be enough and in time?), and hopefully, our cognitive structure will evolve enough to either solve the issue here or find a way to easily travel over 93 MILLION lightyears and greater in search of a new place to live..


improvements....

96 thousand years is the earliest modern human skull found, I think. That's a blink of the eye geologically.

The population vs food supply argument was made by Thomas Robert Malthus in 1798. He perceived that population would increase beyond any governmental measure to halt it, and that food production would struggle to keep pace. This would lead to famine, population arrest and decline. At no point does he suggest it would be an extinction event.

If population truly outstrips calorie production(-waste) vast numbers of people may well die. But it will not be all people. Population will find a balance, and then will attempt to grow again. Natural cycle perceived in any animal population when unchecked by other factors.

However, Malthus never saw the tractor, the GM crop, the System of Rice Intensification method (GM-free/herbicide/pesticide free farming method). He also didn't see the improvements of distribution by diesel ship, plane and lorry. Previously to such methods of transport a great deal of food was consumed in the transporting of food. As Sun Tzu said; II.15: Hence a wise general makes a point of foraging on the enemy. One cartload of the enemy's provisions is worth twenty of one's own, and likewise one picul is equivalent to twenty from one's own store. (Because twenty cartloads will be consumed in bringing one cartload to the front).

These improvements allow populations many times larger to feast where past generations have suffered privation.

>Gears of war sells many more copies than almost any other franchise in console gaming.

It's one of the best selling games.
The tomb raider "reboot" sold less than half that of GoW

lol.. going back to this post of yours.. I can see now why are are soo confused.. if not delusional..

fact is, not only did you incorrectly quote the sales of games.. but compared a single game to a franchise...

even the worst tomb raider ever made sold close to the same number as ANY GoW game by it self.. as a franchise Tomb Raider DWARFS the sales of the GOW franchise by a landslide.

another fact.. GoW is, by far and wide, not even close to have sold as many games "Than any other franchise in console gaming".. not even remotely close.... a huge difference between barely 10mil and 500mil.... there are several games I'm sure you've never even heard of that have sold more than twice that of GoW..

I give you credit right now for a successful troll, if it was.. if not.. well.. let's just say you may wan't to stop chewing on crayons...

Just for giggles once a few mates and I made female toons and went to Reet's Retreat where this notorious perv was hitting on anything that moved. Then we told him we were all 40 year old guys :P

To all you pervs out there, the hot girl in hot pants is probably a bloke O.O

[worldWar_me]

maybe you are a serial killer, why else to kill mobs and players in videogames?

Maybe I am, but I don't go on the internet complaining about cops going after me once I have killed someone.

I wear the Nomad outfit on my female character and im starting to gain more respect for women gamers lol...

My character has really short shorts with my belly button exposed and it's all to common if I'm at a staging area not at the sticks reading my texts or whatever... guys walk up to me, crouch down and scope in slowly rotating around my character.

It's starting to get disturbing how many pervs there are

Or you could dress your character more appropriately for the dangeous world of Defiance, just saying. At some point you have to take responsbility for your own actions instead of blaming others.

animals are being found having evolved within the last 100 years to recently.. because they do not control their environment...

as for the progress of technology.. as neat as it is.. we really are in a race to see if it will save us....

the wars that will come soon, won't be anything like the wars We know or I have fought in, where a side declares themselves victor and some armistice or treaty is brokered... it will be flat out genocide, it will have to be, and no matter what term or calling they put a name to in order to rationalize participating in it, each nation will have fight for survival.

I am all for advancements in this technology to stay the hand of doom as it were, but they alone, for now, will not the solution, we will need several other measures, dramatic population control, new laws and policies, and globally, more of an interest in our survival
and less on religion, politics, and pretty much anything else that does not inherently benefit the progression and survival of mankind.

I've accepted this..

Maybe you like the guy attention....why else for a guy creating a female character?

Variation, this is why half my characters in Gw2 are female.

[KSC]

If playing an MMO as a female character has taught me anything, it's people are far more inclined to go out of their way to help you out. Go ahead and look at my pixel boobs, just keep on reviving me in battle and offering up cheap trades. It's not like I'm a guy IRL or anything. honest!

And don't forget, "You're the second best Ark Hunter I know!" Tee hee!

Apart from when I tried a female char in everquest (and some guy gave me a bronze breastplate because he thought it would be sexy), I've never really seen this. And if a guy tries to hit on any female char of mine I say I'm a guy btw).
