  1. The Apple Time Machine I want should simply be just a piece of (highly-advanced and multi-compatible) PC software that I can install in any PC, or bring along in a USB flash drive. So just in case I desperately need to travel back in time for something in a small spaced room with nothing but one old Toshiba laptop, I can just plug the flash disk in, run the program, and poof.

    And when I meant by multi-compatible I meant by, other than being able to run on all kinds of OS's, being able to detect the PC's specs and change its settings according to those specs to run. If it is a high-end PC, it would display a very detailed and beautiful GUI and operate in the fastest way possible to make time traveling quick and easy. If it is a low-end PC, it would try to make the GUI look as simple as possible (it won't be ugly, nor beautiful), and operate in a way that it won't stress the CPU out.


  2. 1. A morphing suit with TimeShift's Beta Suit's abilities. I can use it to change clothes or morph to any person I want without having to take off the suit. Most of all, it's military-compatible. :lol:

    2. Mac's Time Machine backup tool with Windows compatibility. It would allow me to see my past events or events of others in the form of images or video clips, and choose which event to travel to. I can either be my own past self, allowing me to alter history without worrying about paradoxes or the timeline splitting to two, or an observer who co-exists with my own past self.

    3. A wristwatch with advanced holographic AI-OS that would allow me to do any form of time travel I desire, including the ones above. It would function like a super-PC, so I can use it in other purposes than time travel lol


  3. Maybe the release of the bttf mod for crysis has peaked a bit of interest.

    Most likely. Some of the people who were amazed (or awed) by the Crysis mod have been mentioning about BTTF being a sandbox game, and, in some cases, being less of a resource hog like Crysis so anyone can play it and relive the moments with any PC.


  4. Just tried the mod, and it f*cking rocks! :D (first time I used exclamation points in the internet lol).

    Unfortunately the fun was short-lived or cut short by the lagsh*t I'm getting. I still had to open a spacy/less-detailed map to enjoy the mod. For some reason, the current driver of my Intel GPU is worse than the previous one that my games began to perform horribly than before ever since I "updated" my driver. Another fail from Intel in the software side. Gonna check Intel's site, hoping they released a newer driver.

    The VC/SA mod is still better, like Mike and other said. True that Crysis' engine has more potential than the GTA engine, but with this sandbox engine we are still able to go further than the Crysis mod. :P I hope he includes more stuff from the movies, like hover mode and, most especially, the Train. It would rock to have the Train in Crysis

    EDIT: And no they haven't. I'll try reinstalling the previous driver, hoping that would make a difference. For the best, I'll try the driver HP themselves provided in their website. There is such case of HP having altered Intel's drivers to better suit their PCs


  5. That's cool then...and another thing I learned about GTA SA modding. :) I'll try changing the engine sounds myself, if only I knew where to look for it (in the SFX archive of the VC version).

    In fact, I think its a better idea to put the door sound into the sfx archive instead of having it CLEO based, since you can change what door sounds a car has as well.

    I would want to have it that way, if it is possible to make the installer replace files in the SFX archive.


  6. This ain't one of the few times we talked about black holes. In the times when we were talking about wormholes, we were also talking about black holes. Wormholes are basically 2 black holes connected to each other, one being the departure point, and the other being the re-entry point. This is another reason why I keep on saying the blue stuff the DeLorean projects to its front isn't the wormhole (yet) -- if it was, we would perceive it as a black hole, instead of some sort of a blue plasma goo.

    Other than that (already-disproved) theory, there are such issues with black holes as the "no hair" theorem and the black hole information paradox (the latter being resolved by the superstring theory).

    @emo: When a star turns to a black hole, it does collapse -- but instead of the usual collapsing "outward", it collapses "inward" or onto itself, by its own gravity, which later becomes the black hole. And being black isn't the real reason why we can't see it. It's basically black AND visible because light can't escape its gravitational pull and gets sucked in, so no light gets reflected from it for us to see it (we rely on light reflecting from an object to our eyes to perceive that object).


  7. Old news. For me.

    True that the idea of black holes destroying matter is against the rule (not theory) of matter being indestructible, but most scientists who support the black hole idea weren't sure what REALLY happens to matter and energy when they're sucked in, so the whole thing is just an idea about black holes. In fact, I only recall sci-fi mentioning black holes having matter-destroying powers than scientists who started the whole idea.

    Not only that but this theory would disprove many of the fundamentals of 'Quantim Physics' and 'Chaos Theory' that have been proven to be true!

    Very true. This theory is against more laws/rules in science than the black hole idea itself.


  8. When my dad bought the entire trilogy in VCD when I was 13. I immediately became a fan after watching the first film. I also even recall believing there's a hidden DeLorean Time Machine in (the PS2 version of) Vice City. I always believed there so until years later I found Protonkid/iMaster's VCXXL vids on YouTube showcasing the mod's DeLorean and time travel features, and eventually found this mod. :D


  9. That mission always reminded me of Postal 2, with some of the violence from Postal 2 absent, that is.

    Here in the Philippines, we don't care about video game violence affecting children, mainly because there was never been an occurrence where a kid would redo or reenact the violence from the game. Seeing all children here who play games know that whatever is in the game stays in the game (because either doing such misbehavior is taught to kids as a way of exiling themselves from our 100% Christian/Muslim society, or simply because getting guns here as a civilian is as hard as getting a piece of hay in the middle of a needle-stack), I don't see why a Filipino kid after getting addicted to a GTA game would dress in a black jacket, steal a gun and start shooting people around.


  10. So, are we going for Flash Chat, or are you guys just maintaining the Shoutbox and cleaning it of spam at this moment?

    I was about to "announce" the bad day I just had yesterday (or a few hours ago), 'till I found out the Shoutbox went missing. lol

    not like Hongfire or other forums that have 100,000+ members.

    This also reminds me of the Prince of Persia Unofficial Website. Their forums carried about a million members, and it looked as though the admins and mods there did very little moderating (either because of the numerous members, or because they're too busy at other stuff). I was a member there, and one of its frequent visitors, until the website was brought down by Ubisoft due to their illegal distribution of PoP games.


  11. The whole paradox here is that the dragon is invulnerable to magic, while the Star Rod is capable of granting ANY wish.

    Anyway, seeing EWJ's post as another way of asking to stop the argument, and seeing this paradox, how about another VS argument? Anything in mind that we can argue?


  12. Lemme correct that. It's Crysis Warhead, not the original Crysis.

    Crysis_Warhead_Boxart.jpg

    I bought the thing to replace my now broken Crysis DVD. Went to all of the stores available, and all they could give is the Warhead version. Would the BTTF Crysis mod and all other Crysis mods work with this version of the game, or should I really need the original?


  13. From what I've learned as a Christian, knowing the truth means not just relying on the Bible and God. Like I've said awhile ago, God gave each of us eyes, ears and a brain, so we should USE THEM. God won't be all the time giving direct support on whatever we do (like knowing the truth, or proving that what we know as the truth is the truth, which is our case right now). If He does, and He needs to, then why the f*ck did He gave each of us a well-capable (evolved) body in the first place?

    (fyi, I'm talking like this not because I am still a Christian (I've already said before that I've an ex-Christian) but because I want to make you two (emo and John) understand my point in your own Christian perspective; well it ain't my best way, obviously, but I don't believe my best would be enough to convince you guys)

    It's pretty much like time travel, which SHOULD be what this topic is about. Not using our eyes, ears and, most especially, our brains would put us a lot of trouble. It may have already been said that time travel being possible would make paradoxes impossible, or a ridiculous idea to think about rather, but bad decisions always lead to bad consequences, so the type of "paradoxes" you'll be facing won't destroy the universe but might ruin or destroy your own human lives. Praying to God won't be enough to save your a**es from the trouble you'll be making. You'd have to learn how and when to stop being too dependent from God and be dependent with yourself. I guess this is what JOHN007 wanted to know -- other than knowing what we would want to do with a time machine, he might also want to know how we would use a limited-use time machine for whatever we want or need with time travel.


  14. the part about creation in the bible that angelo mentioned in the spillover was about how it spread from being an IDEA about how the earth being created into people viewing it as fact

    So, you say, "There is no god," then you die, and meet Him...what do you say then?

    This is the whole reason why I've been saying for 2-3 times now that the Book of Genesis is metaphorical or symbolical. But I never said anything in one point of the argument over in the SpillOver forum that creation is a myth. I'm only saying that everything depicted in the Book of Genesis shouldn't be taken literally.

    As far as I can remember, I argued that the people who made the Book of Genesis never referred from any divine or supernatural source when they wrote it. They just wrote it based on the environment around them, as well as their belief in God as the Creator. So taking the Book literally would be like "living a lie" (well, until there's concrete proof or evidence that all of us, not just the dead, would see and know).

    So meeting Him in person after I, who believed creation as depicted in the Bible isn't true, died won't make me realize everything in the Genesis is true, nor would surprise me AT ALL that I'm wrong and you're right.

    If you wanna argue with me, John, don't be arrogant or an idiot (no offense) to not read this first AND understand what I'm pointing here, because the argument you're going to make won't be a real argument at all. You'll be just wasting your time typing it.

    Your delorean would disintergrate. There was nothing then(not yet)

    What the others said. Earth that time was a huge ball of rock and lava. The DeLorean would indeed be disintegrated, by the extreme heat and lava, that is, not by emptiness or non-existence of space and time. If it was indeed just a void, the DeLorean wouldn't time travel at all because there's nothing there to begin with. It's a dead end -- you can't obviously go beyond a dead end.

    4.55 billion years

    It's 4.54, not 4.55. Going that further would indeed make you float in space towards floating rocks found in the solar nebula at that time.


  15. It's in the Book of Genesis. The first part is all about creation.

    @John DeLorean: By how you've said all of those stuff in your post, I can tell it's no longer belief or faith in God that keeps you saying that evolution is crap. It is your inability to admit that you are being proven wrong that something we're saying might make you think otherwise about your Christian beliefs (which you'd know won't happen, if you only read one of my previous posts earlier telling that many of us Catholic Christians consider Genesis as metaphorical or symbolical) or your fear of losing (this argument) that allowed you to make that argument, which doesn't really prove anything but this inability or fear.

    Also, your posts remind me of the "Why Do People Laugh at Creationists?" series at YouTube:

    lmao at Watergun5991's comments. He's been arguing with people over at YouTube ever since, and now he's getting desperate. :lol:
