Comment Mafia WarsTorncity (Score 1) 84

Initially attracted to Mafia Wars due to it's similarity to a good text rpg I had played for a while before Facebook way around, I have grown disillusioned with all the Wall spam and NON-real interaction that I found the game to be about.

Glad I never stopped playing the original.. If you want to see what a Social game should be more like try http://www.torn.com/130690 Yes I would get a referral bonus, but only if you make it to level 10, Which I doubt many would make it to just in the course of checking it out.

Yes...to all of the above.

Unfortunately these days much of the original tribes2 team is said to be working with some of the guys from WOW to make this instead. http://www.firefallthegame.com/

I am watching this carefully. I still play tribes2 every other week or so thanks to the tribes Next team. and it is IMHO the best FPS ever made.

I remember being in Wyoming at a house that had a dish and messing about with the remote one day, i was trying to find something interesting on.... I ended up watching the feeds from the network news stations updating the story about the rood ripping off a plane landing in Hawaii. Very different than the final product.

I really don't understand all the complaints about battery life. I can count the number of times I've had my phone reach less that 25% power and I use the phone in addition to the web and mapping/gps functions nearly everyday. I do have a "cradle" that I drop it into when I get home, plugged into my computer to download files that also works as a charger. (this is for a day 2 Motorola Droid)

Submission + - Improving the Culture Dish (physorg.com)

TornCityVenz writes: Stanford researches may have made a breakthrough on transferring stem cells by making culture dishes that mimic the human body.
"Cells don't normally exist in contact with a rigid cell culture dish, they sit on soft tissue. By mimicking this environment we can really influence their function and allow them to self-renew in ways we've never been able to achieve before."

From First Church of Atheism? Anonymous December 16th, 2009 at 10:46 am Nice try, except that “the US Hospitality Trade Association” appears not to exist, and there is nothing about this in any news feed anywhere. All the links on the web point back to this one page. So either provide a source for the story or you’re a liar.
