I'm not sure if it's been pointed out, but the object with more mass WOULD hit the ground first. It would accelerate faster and have a higher velocity, but so little as to be pretty much impossible to notice without very precise timing, extreme mass differences or a very long fall (all of them for best results).

...Have you:
A) Taken physics in school and actually passed?
B) Read the last four pages of this thread?

Your entire post is fallacious.

But this is the internet, I'm pretty sure I don't have to be right.
In return, science I don't understand but looks pretty legit.

EDIT: Gah, why do people only ever reference things you have to PAY for.
EDIT2, THE RE-EDITING: Basically, the gist of most things that say this is that the object would have a gravitational influence on Earth, so the more massive object would hit the ground first.

Wait what, allowing people to kill babies/actively killing babies is lawful. What. Is that even a thing that works like that?

Ever heard of the Crusades?

Evil = The suffering of others doesn't bother you, even if you're personally responsible for it.
Lawful = You still believe in order, structure, tradition, and integrity.  Your word means something, and you expect the same of others.

As an emperor you would be the type who, upon conquering a new territory, would order every male beneath a certain age (including babies) slaughtered.  However, you might have offered to spare them this fate if they surrendered, and you would hold to that promise if they did.

At least, that's how the archetype is supposed to go.  As we know, real people tend not to fit snugly into such categories.

Ahem. Not sure what set that tangent off, but I came in here to say: The Wii doesn't get enough love.
It's seen as the kiddy console or whatever. You know what would simultaneously help Nintendo shed that image and make an incredibly awesome game? A free-roaming sandbox crime game (i.e GTA ripoff) with cartoony graphics where you play as your Miis. Yes.
Imagine, driving along with the wiimote as steering wheel whilst using the nunchuk to fire your uzi out the window... You and your buddies can take your super-deformed Miis on a violent crime spree through a generic city, or better yet, the Wii Sports resort! Those annoying stock characters who always beat you in wii sports will line the streets as convenient victims, and the game will be integrated with Wii Sports, allowing you to take a relaxing break to shoot some hoops downtown, or play bowling or whatever.

I could probably flesh this idea out further, but it's not likely too happen anyway. Oh, make it an MMO, too! You can do drive-bys on the Mii Plaza.

Let's continue on the derail for a moment. While an object with more mass would hit the ground first, this is not caused by the arceleration. Objects of different mass still arcelerate at the same rate. (Because, while it does get more energy from falling, it also needs more energy to be moved). However, the object with the most mass would be less affected by friction, allowing it to go faster. In the example of the fighter and pilot, this is unnoticeable because of the differences in shape of both objects.

You know what? I think that could actually be shocking enough to work, in that people would but it, just to have it.
I know I would dust off the Wii for this.

Well, that's certainly the Inquisition he had been expecting...

[SalmonGod]

Totally agreed that the Wii does not get enough love.

I want to see a literal Metroidvania.

Kind of like this(minus the Miis) is Retro Rampage.

GTA for the NES, kinda.
Just... Just look it up.

I wish there was an apocalypse rebuilding game, somewhat like RTS mod for Fallout 3 and New Vegas. It would be randomly generated.

a roguelike game with superheroes....

What, you were expecting something relevant?

There's a rather limited one in flash. It's called rebuild, as far as I remember.
It's not too impressive, and it's pretty shallow, but it at least has some reasonable demands (Like booze and churches for happiness).

A DF game could easily be "rewritten" to follow apocalypse. Instead of worlds being created out of magic and being in the process of colonization/populization, each civ's capital is the vault or sheltered valley from which they survived the apocalypse. Doesn't necessarily need to be Fallout-style nuclear annihilation, but you'd probably want some kind of McGuffin to explain the extremely dangerous and hostile enemies (the ones that aren't just other competing civs, anyway).

Gameplay-wise you probably don't want to go explicitly with DF's 2D "literally carve out a small colony from the mountain", although extensive underground structures should still be possible.

Now that I think of it, gameplay wise, Anno 2070 is very close to what I'm thinking of. Think of it as SimCity with a rudimentary economy (e.g. "produce this and this so you can produce that, which will you produce that," including region-specific resources), research, and limited military goals. The maps are not procedural and you're artificially limited to islands of a flood earth, which I'd throw out - I'd rather that space be largely open territory and with a heavier focus on the possibility of combat or even military involvement (even going as far as SupCom RTS, depending on how much you want to force the player to rely on military power).
