No, he's talking about the woman who gave birth to him, not his flower bed.

I wouldn't consider it lazy, I would consider it a necessary flaw of the design. You probably could never PERFECTLY nail down the physics of the universe, but as Mario said, it could probably be close enough that we could never tell. For example, as far as weather goes, the system could generate rain and snow and all that…

Ugh... that sounds freakin nasty. But I usually hate deep-fried stuff, so I guess I'm biased.

While I understand your train of thought, Queen, it's far too dichotomous. You're only considering the two extremes. Yes, humans are imperfect, but it's not like everything we touch explodes into uselessness. Of course there would be problems. It's likely that occasionally consciousnesses would be lost. But things would…

............ that's..... a totally awesome and frightening theorem, Mario. But I can totally see that. Why stick to boring reality when you can support a nearly limitless population and bend reality to your whims? But the other question is, would there necessarily have to be people on the outside? People not plugged in?…

Man, I just keep thinking of various points in Doctor Who... Anyway, yeah, you can get real technical and pretty much destroy any 'magical immortality' argument. But it's still interesting to see where your boundaries are, and what you would need in order to live forever. Serephel pretty much just summed up my conditions…

Well, this conversation really could go either way. There's one tangent where we could be fanciful like that, and another where we're being realistic. So here's my question to you, then, Mario.... would we actually transfer onto a computer, from our perspective, or would it be a brand new digital copy with the memories of…

I think the ideal would be for people to grow until they're about 20, and then stop. We wouldn't have immortal kids. Actually Neil Gaiman addressed that a tiny bit in "The Eternals." That a kid that was a kid for millions of years. That kid was so fucking pissed off at his existence, too. As he said, "Imagine, being a kid…
-
Well, another tangent is how we could actually achieve some form of immortality, at least theoretically. I'm not much of a computer person, but I think this is at least discussable. What if the consciousness of a human were downloaded onto a computer? Obviously it wouldn't be exactly immortality, because the person would…
-
Hear hear. Eternal youth is definitely a condition of mine. So does this kinda act as an escape clause? So people can choose death when they want it by reproducing?
-
Well...... it might be. I'm from the Chicago area, so I don't really know British slang that well. Night Lord would be the one to ask on that. Do I seem British or something? Because that would be awesome.
-
Well.... I would say that he might not be immortal, but he's pretty near close. Most Time Lords get 12 regenerations, but certain Time Lords have started the cycle anew, so it wouldn't be impossible for the Doctor to do the same. And QueenQuinlin, that's one of my conditions.. I have to be able to end it, though for…

I was completely human. Hey, this made me think... I've got a new topic of conversation. I'm making a new thread.
-
Oh... well, thanks? Also, I'm still curious about Scott McCloud. I really liked "Understanding Comics," but did he do any work on video games?
-
Nope, I'm totally lost. My first impression of your post was that you felt that I was attacking you. If that's what you felt, I was not, it only amuses me. If that's not what you felt... well, then I'm really confused.
-
Are you referring to the British guy?
-
Did Scott McCloud ever talk about video games? Also, I find it highly amusing that you like Mace so much. I've never played it, but it doesn't seem like the game that anyone would hold up as a paradigm of awesomeness... I mean, it's a basic fighting game, right?
-
Ohhh... sounds fascinating. I might have to look it up.
-
Well... how silly. I don't think those are part of the official canon, though... that form isn't included in his current regenerative history.. have you seen those movies? Any good?
-
Well, understandable, I suppose. I don't know how many characters are referred to as the Doctor, but *shrug* Carry on. Oh and Agentcel is gone to the land of misery and communism. Perhaps he will return to suck the sweet air of freedom once more. (Please tell me someone besides Ryan got that reference... it would make my…
-
You know he's not actually called "Doctor Who," right?
-
It's a siren's song, I'm telling you. You can't help but be drawn in by the horrible job prospects and condescension of others.
-
Oh you silly Californians. I will not be able to attend, obviously. But I wish you a good time.
-
Where is this? California?
-
Well, you know my feelings on this, Ryan, but for everyone else... I HATE SUMMER. Sunburn sucks ass. I always have to worry about being outside for more than 10 minutes because inevitably, even if I'm using sunscreen, I WILL get burned. And the bugs. Damn those bugs. They're everywhere, proving that they rule the world.…
-
I jealous.
-
Haaahahaha, you're screwed. If you turn into a zombie, I promise I'll do my best to give you an awesome re-death.

The God of Gaming Nostalgia.

ASCII pictures, wasn't it?

Well, they're not going to point out the exact street address and also mention Arthur's so that you know it's not in his basement. I don't know why you would assume that a government office was, for some reason, located in a random dude's basement. Also, he said he "went round" to see them, which I'm pretty sure is Redcoat…
