That is not quite how it works. Mainly because a collision is a single event and therefore cannot suffer time dilation because you need two events separated in time for that to happen. So all observers will always agree that a collision between two cars will take place when the cars are located in the same place at the same time, just like what normally happens. I think that what you are thinking of is something called "the lack of preservation of simultaneity between two inertial reference frames" or something that goes by a similar awkward name, where two simultaneously events that are separated in space also become separated in time for a moving inertial reference frame. There is actually a way to send signals back in time related to this using superluminal communications. The timing between two separated events will shift by a factor of distance*(relative velocity between inertial reference frames)/c^2 when transitioning between to inertial reference frames, but because the limit as velocity approaches c is the maximum speed you are allowed between any two frames, this shift in timing can never exceeding the separation distance divided by the speed of light, which is exactly the time it would take light to travel between those two events. So as long as their is a speed of light delay between cause and effect, it is impossible to find an observer for which effect precedes cause. Allow somebody to manipulate a distance object using a superluminal signal, however, and suddenly there are inertial reference frames that exist where the superluminal signal arrives at its destination before it is sent. Set up a relay system using distantly spaced objects at relativistic velocities using this principle and suddenly you can send messages back in time using superluminal signals. This is of course one of the reasons superluminal velocities are disallowed on anything that could be consider causal in Special Relativity.

That would be Stargate SG-1, which was an awesome show. It was on the Sci-Fi channel back when it used to be about science fiction (notice a pattern here).

Remember when the History Channel used to have shows about history on it? Those were the days. Now we get Ancient Aliens and other nonsense.

I play this game on occasion. I would be up for joining an LoL team.

I am with you on this one, honestly it seems more like a special effects demo reel than anything else. I honestly group this movie, Star Trek The Motion Picture and the Star Wars Prequels in the same category, lots of special effects, no substance.

Least Favorite: Forced Romantic Subplot - It seems like every single movie and TV show has one of these, no matter how little sense they make or if it fits into the overarching story in the slightest. These are often downright painful to watch and follow, and I wish writers would just leave them out when they aren't going to do anything to advance the plot or develop characters. Favorite: Any trope that you can incorporate without me noticing.

Bullies just hurt others for their own personally amusement and are far worse then fake people. I had an absolute miserable time in public school and the problem was never the fakes, but the seemingly endless number of bullies who were intent upon making moment of every day as miserable for me as possible. Fake people were just fellow students trying to lie low to gain a moments peace from all the bloody bullies. If your even a bit eccentric in public school, being yourself is like carrying a neon sign around asking all nearby bullies to torment you. Once people get out of high school they can start being themselves again, but 13 years of public education can often ingrain some terrible habits. I can definitely understand how after 13 years of public school, some people would never be willing to drop their guard again to just be themselves.

This is actually my number one pet peeve when walking or bicycling. It is absolutely maddening. Some will even honk at you or curse at you when they are forced to yield.

I mostly play PC games with old friends, but I would love to find new players who are into PC gaming. I tend to be a big fan of turn based strategy games like Civilization V, but I also enjoy games like Magicka, Planetside 2, Diablo 3, Borderlands and Dawn of War.

That depends on a lot of factors. Fight if I think I can win, otherwise run. No, just no. Knife fights are a great way to die horribly. Just run to fight another day. When used as a weapon, Chainsaws are arguably just as dangerous to the user as the victim. I would still run, but would now benefit from the fact that the chainsaw wielder would likely injure himself if he tried to pursue. The thing about guns is you can't outrun bullets. If the attacker is close by then I would lunge for him and attack him, better to close where I can control the gun then letting him shoot me in the back at his leisure. Otherwise I would run for cover.

I grew up with the NES, and lets just say that the term Nintendo hard is well justify. It is difficult to be which one of the many absurdly difficult NES games I have played is the hardest, so I guess I will just have to go with Battletoads. You could never beat level 3 on that thing, I from what I have heard, there are even harder levels after that.

The Shadowlords from Ultima 5. Both mysterious and menacing and very effective villians. Other honorably mentions go to: Glados - For being so much fun. The G-Man - For being so enigmatic Kefka - For actually succeeding in destroying the world. Bob Page - Being the ultimate mastermind behind all of the conspiracy theories in Deus Ex.

Oh I got more than 5: 1.) Slow drivers in the left lane. If you are not passing, keep right. Doesn't matter what your speed is in relation to the speed limit, if your not passing other traffic and you're not the fastest vehicle on the road then you shouldn't be in the left lane. It is amazing how smoothly traffic flows when everyone follows this one simple rule, problem is they rarely do. 2.) People who refuse to let me pass them / merge in front of them. 3.) People who can't stay within their own lane. Honestly, how hard is it to drive between the two sets of lines on the road? 4.) People who take turns far too slowly. 5.) People who run red lights and stop signs. 6.) People who aren't paying attention at stop lights and remain stopped after the light has turned green. 7.) People who don't signal. 8.) People who come to a complete stop before each and every speedbump. This doesn't happen often but boy is it maddening. 9.) People who drive with either highbeams on all the time or just misaligned lights. Getting blinded by oncoming traffic is not fun.

To the best of my knowledge, multiverse theory is just a way to explain away Quantum Mechanical indeterminism, and a rather bad way of doing in my opinion. In exchange for invoking a infinite number of Universes for which no experimental evidence exist, you gain absolutely zero benefits in terms of actual understanding or predictive power. Perhaps just a little bit of satisfaction that all of the possible quantum mechanical outcomes occur instead of just one, but again with no corresponding evidence. To me though you are after proof, not personal satisfaction, so I put zero stock in multiverse theory. It is just really, really crappy speculation. Its four for normal people and 10 or 11 for string theorist, which I don't trust as far as I can throw them. Perhaps we will discover evidence for dimensions beyond four sometime in the future, which would have interesting implication, but as far as I am concerned we have no evidence beyond the rather obvious existence of the four.

It depends on which one you are referring to. If its Kingdom of the Crystal Skulls people are going to join you in bashing it. If it is The Last Crusade that people will want to tar and feather you.

Planes, Trains and Automobiles - I found this comedy downright painful to sit through. A Christmas Story - See Above Forest Gump - A nostalgic retelling of recent history that I found rather dull. Just watch a History Channel special on said historical period instead, assuming the History Channel still airs specials on history, last time a checked they joined the Dark Side and show reality TV like the rest of cable (which I have long since canceled). But this was my favorite Bond flick Since you brought up Bond films though: Goldfinger - Starts off ok but this movie becomes downright dull towards the midpoint as Bond just hangs out on Goldfinger's ranch as a prisoner/guest for a considerable portion of the films run time. Bond never really seems to actually do much of anything in this film. I never understood how this became a legendary Bond film. Rocky - I have to agree with you on this one, I have no idea what people see in it. Dumb and Dumber - I hate this film with an undying passion. Adam Sandler Films - These films are all the same. Juvenile comedies about an overgrown man child learning to be a slightly less overgrown man child. Pass! The Birds - I know that Alfred Hitchcock is considered a filming pioneer, but come on! The Spider Man Movies - Are these movies about Spider Man or Peter Parker's poorly managed interpersonal relationships? Because if I wanted shitty relationship drama, I would watch a romantic comedy and not a superhero movie. Akira - I have to agree with Rudes here. It is just about a kid with incomprehensible power blowing shit up (something I could say about a lot of anime, but still).

This. I have a rather powerful custom built PC rig and even I won't touch Ubisoft games anymore. Not because I don't think I will be able to run the game, but because Ubisoft seems to demonstrate nothing but absolute contempt for its customers, treating them like habitual criminals that will pirate their games at the first opportunity. There are games such as Heroes of Might and Magic 6 and Anno 2070 that I decided I just really do not need because I don't feel like buying from Ubisoft anymore.

I actually enjoy Christmas music when it is well done. The classics like you will find in a Catholic Midnight Mass or something done with a lot of artistic skill like Manheim Steamroller are always excellent. Unfortunately, most of the airwaves and shopping outlets are filled with this Christmas flavored pop music garbage that is feels like your having your ear canal raped. Too many artist just shove lines like "Christmas", "Santa", "Winter" and the like into an already poorly executed pop song, and if that wasn't bad enough, the non-stop repetition starting in November does not help.

Current Hobbies: RC Helicopters: I own and fly several. PC Gaming Martial Arts Reading Physics: It is also my day job but I often work out some mathematical physics ideas in my spare time. Warhammer 40k: This table-top game is just plain awesome. Future Hobbies: Flying: I intend to obtain a private pilot's license when I acquire enough money RC Helicopters: I want to design, build and automate them.

Does it not let you play two of the same knight? How many players can play simultaneously anyway, I thought you couldn't have more than four.

This is a fun game. I friend of mine bought everybody a bunch of copies when it went on sale, and we played it together for a while until he mysteriously got upset at the game and stopped playing it. I still have my orange knight and would enjoy playing some co-op games of this.

I could see why Temple of Doom turns people off, as it goes for a more horror, cultish and supernatural feel than the somewhat more lighthearted action adventure flicks against Nazis like the other two films. That being said, Temple of Doom is still intense, thrilling and well executed and worthy of bearing the title Indian Jones. Kingdom of the Crystal is at best mediocre, which is damning for a Spielberg production. The plot is nonsensical, the action is stupid, the premise is absurd and the characters are utterly forgettable. It is just two hours of meh, and never lives up to the other three films.

I don't know where it originated, but I originally came across it when watching the Zero Punctuation review of The Witcher. Yahtzee was criticizing the user interface when he threw out this joke, which was obviously at the expense of the PC gamers. But its the kind of joke the target ends up owning for itself, for reasons that are plainly obvious. It seems to have been overused to the point that console gamers are downright frustrated with it. Nintendo has done the best job of playing to the strengths of the console. The N64 was probably the best at it. It had a huge library of 4-player games that were fun to play with friends over and four built in controller ports, and it still ran off cartridges. So if you had friends visiting and you wanted something to do, you could just slap in Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Super Smash Brother, Super Battletanks or a host of other games and immediately start playing some four player games. Only downside is I think the cartridge system turned the 3rd party developers off, and Nintendo seems to be doing everything in its power to continue making their systems difficult to develop for. Those mini CDs on the gamecube couldn't have helped, and did anyone even ask for motion controls? Whenever I visit friends who own Wii's or Wii U's they always just have regular controllers which we use instead anyway.

I honestly never even gave the show a chance. On look at the hideous animation in the promotions immediately turned me off, as it appear to be a massive downgrade relative to the original. I suppose that if it got a lot of recommendations I would check it out, that is sort of how I got into MLP, but I am really not seeing much in the way of glowing recommendations for this show.

The only real problems I can see are various poorly done ports or games that felt like they were compromised to make them more console friendly (I suspect this is what happened to Deus Ex Invisible War). Then there is annoying habit of platform exclusive titles, which really ought to be obsolete in this day an age. Most exclusives I could care less about, but every once in a the likes of Crackdown comes along and I can't play it because it is an exclusive title. Exclusives aren't worth buying a separate system for, but it still sucks that you can't play a game you would like because of some console developer's marketing ploy.
