It’s actually a very common English phrase! It has been around since long before Yu-Gi-Oh.

Don’t feel bad. I once had someone accuse me of stealing the word “chaos” from Sonic the Hedgehog.
Why humanity. Just... where are you even going. Besides "to shit".

Y'know, it's funny. Every generation's said that about the next.

I'm not saying anything about any next generations. Humanity as a whole is devoted to finding ways to make everything overall shittier for everyone, but better for some. I just wasn't expecting it to extend to intelligence too.

While playing Doom 2, a bizarre realization hit me: why are bullets themselves so rarely shown in FPS games? It's like damage simply teleports from your gun to your target's body, no matter how far away they are. If it's the limitations of technology, that's understandable, but I would think in modern games I would at least be able to dodge a bullet, then, from 300 feet away, by moving extremely fast in one direction as it grazes me just to the side. But nope.

It's not like it really affects gameplay much. I just think it's odd.

Huh.

Well, 500yd=1500ft is probably unfeasible on a video game map scale. Very interesting. I still reserve the right to say games with totally invisible bullets look silly.

I know in Halo most of the Covenant weapons have travel time.
Mostly it's because in almost all FPSs you are using high power sniper rifles at ranges of thirty feet, so it doesn't matter.

Well you can't see bullets moving in the air when they have been fired in real life either. A gun shooting bullets that slow would be kinda useless.

Tanks on the move, Morsi could be looking at a coup.

The thing that sticks out to me is that if they're successful in ousting Morsi they'll probably be doing the same with the next guy once they're not happy with him after roughly a year. And the guy after that. And the guy after that.
