  1. Beautiful and true.
  2. I think this is a GREAT idea too!

    Vegas Sun

    This is a great story -- I loved the explorations on the subject of pride. Your vivid description of Vegas really helped set the mood in your story. Keep up the great work!
  4. Thanks for the heads up, I'll be sure to check this out!

    Chapter 15

    I'm not sure whether you still read your reviews but I read your published version as well. What an amazing read Your characters are quirky, attractive, likeable; they're real, and the plot, although simple, had a few excellent twists and turns. I'll definitely be checking out more of your work. Thank you so much for writing!
  6. I like this! Although I can't say that a population crash will happen to us humans as I'm sure there may well be a less than malevolent means of regulating population levels, there is no doubt that we will reach equilibrium sometime soon.
  7. That was a really good prompt! I really like how you used the way humans were changing the environment using GMOs as a major factor in spreading the disease. Convincing.
  8. OMG the bat loves the rabbitt *A*

    The Cloud

    oh god that last graph..... looks like my 2nd year chem stuff :< great stuff so far!!!
  10. ................. and now I will go to bed with the most awkward image of kidman squatting over efron, peeing all over his face. Thank you all -___-
  11. Ohhh I am so very sorry I didn't see this review until now haha! Thank you, and perhaps. I am still definitely on the sequel but it won't be released any time soon as I completing another project in the meantime. Thank you for your feedback!
  12. I think you shouldn't include "flashback" as a label prior to a scene : P Otherwise, this is a strong beginning, full of emotion and awesome to read
  13. A compelling read!! Not an unexplored concept but you wrote it in a very touching way, which is hard to do. I would have liked to see this story expanded with slightly more character development regarding Chris and Jacob, but good job nonetheless.
  14. Uhm the ending of Legend of Zelda Twilight Princess made me really sad, it's such a long but amazing game
  15. Yeah I agree to the above. The companies target the bulk of their consumers which are mainly adults, with kids representing only a small fraction of their sales. Also I know many parents who don't really care enough to investigate what their child plays yet they'll still buy the game for them.
  16. The Wanted has this great song called "Heart Vacancy" : D. And yeah I don't like one direction either, partly because their fandom is a massive population of terrifyingly obsessed teenage girls, akin to Twilight's, Bieber's and the Jonas Brothers.
  17. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY SEXY NAKED BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BARFDAY TO YOU MY PATTYCAKE PATRICK STAR PATRICK. PAT. Happy birthday to youuuuuuuu and if long distance calling didn't cost a fortune I would sing that to you over the phone too as loud as I could. You're really really old now btw, really really old. What do we do with you? Just kidding you're 23, not even halfway to death, practically an infant. So live love laugh and hope you had a good one
  18. Exactly. Dead space 2's campaign, "Your mom hates Dead Space 2," was hugely successful
  19. Alesso is great but I think the cazzette remix is far better : P
  20. HAHA I know she's caucasian but cmon she totalllyyy sounds black in this song. I was really surprised when I saw her. Great voice though
  21. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=sQO6FT9mSYU Love the vocals to this, very strong black woman-ish : D
  22. That..... I don't know what to say.
  23. I agree that not all mutations have to be defintely self sustaining at first, but for such rare and deleterious mutations such as above, the frequency of the mutation will just not propagate into the population because the mother does not have a high progeny output. The mutation can arise again in the population, but it will not become anything if natural selection favours so strongly against it. So I see what you're saying in that it could change from being fitness reducing into being sustainable, but only if the mutation wasn't so harmful that it ends the production of progeny after few generations. It's just hard for me to believe that, in birds where egg laying is such a specialized mechanism, that such a dramatic and fitness reducing incident could be the beginning of internal gestation borne from oviparity, especially if the mechanism behind it is deleterious. It just makes more sense to me that smaller, less harmful mutations accumulated over a large period of time in the right environmental/biotic situations allowed internal gestation to be favoured and thus evolved. But it would be cool if this incident was largely genetic. Sometime in the future we'll be able to accurately relate sequenced genomics to complicated devlopmental genetics such as these. .... And that may be the time where we find out which genes cause people to be gay too : D
  24. Hrmmm Really? I don't think this is indicative of something that could fuel evolution. I mean in order for the mother's genes to be passed onto the next generation, she would have to have to have a reproductive output higher than other hens. Having died while giving birth would be something that natural selection would favour against, if this case was even genetically related : 0
  25. Reminds me of that Hollister store I went into my last visit at NY. Couldn't see crap 'cause the lighting was so dark and I swear they exploded a vat of cologne over everything, but enjoyed the naked models : D Probably would've enjoyed it more if my parents weren't there too, that made it real awkward..
