Apparently, the very concept of "IQ" is a myth. Yikes for some people http://www.thestar.com/living/article/1304289--iq-a-myth-study-says |

Certainly not a new development - it's been around for years.

And to think much more recently than that there were still clowns going around bragging about essentially meaningless IQ's as if it meant something. It's really amazing what ridiculous, hilarious concepts people willingly delude themselves into believing for the sake of vanity.
Fortunately we've got guys like you and me around who have known that IQ measuring is a complete joke for years. We wouldn't be caught dead ever falling into that trap. Nope, instead we can nod knowingly at this study's comprehensive report as if we've been in firm agreaance with its conclusions all along.

I don't think any rational person would describe making fun of you to be an activity that is remotely hard.

Demon posession is real and it's not funny, it's the creepiest thing you will ever experience.
I would also like to add I watch fox news everyday all day and will continue to watch it while being proud of that fact. I'm sure you enjoy your communist news network just as much.

It doesn't need to be locked, it's over. I suppose Wind will still pathetically attempt to prolong it however.

Screw another company, I think Relic has enough reputation to potentially suvive without a publisher, with the assistance of Kickstarter and the like of course.
Do you really want to try and go down this road again? Who knows, maybe the third time will be luckier for you? They say the definition of insanity... |

I played a few times two weeks ago actually, unfortunately I'm busy as of now and I have precious little time to devote to personal matters, let alone EiRR. |

If you or I played half as poorly as he did, would we want to be seen in game? And I love the silence after pointing out his third disastrous venture into typo police hypocrisy. |

Wait, you have time to post on the forum and arguing about something retarded and yet not enough time to play EIR during the holidays? I don't get it. |

I don't get it.
A forum post takes mere seconds to compose, whereas you and I both know games in EiRR can take an hour total on average if one includes set-up times and waiting for people to get in the game. |

Only the definition of IQ is a myth, it may not be an exact measure of intelligence but it still determines your ability to think logically. Obviously to measure intelligence in every aspect there would have to be a lot more tests in various areas of expertise.

Sharks are not monsters Henley, they are cute, cuddly and misunderstood. They love humans. sometimes they love TOO much. They love people so much that sometimes their kisses separate people into two flailing pieces which are consumed by other sharks in a frenzy of peace and joy.

There's other things I like to do with my free time than playing EiRR. I play it and (mostly) enjoy it, however, it certainly doesn't take precedence over other things in life.

What was perhaps even more interesting was how they found that those who play video games scored significantly higher in reasoning and short term memory. Granted they don't explain which games they're talking about (I'd bet more along the lines of a game like EiR than Call of Duty) but it's interesting nonetheless. |
