Well put.  I'm just angsty that evolution needs to be explained to adults.  This should have been something all of us were taught in grade school, when it wasn't.  I'm just sick of how silly everything is these days.  

The people who have been covering their ears and saying la la la have been doing so for a long time, and they are getting worse, and worse, and worse.  I'm annoyed that this book is even needed in the first place.

Like I said though, I probably will get this, and thanks for the heads up as to its release.

I'm totally feeling smug, by the by.

Coolio.  Only thing is, I think the audience he's trying to reach, the ones that have never seen the evidence for evolution, will never ever buy the book because Dawkins has always been seen as an enemy to religion, his word warned against by religious believers (admittedly this is right on.  The question is whether or not this is actually a problem).

Those that would buy the book are those that are already rational enough to see the evidence of evolution by taking a look out of the window.  He's preaching to the choir, as funny as that sounds.  The problem is that although he's ostensibly trying to reach out to an audience that has so far been close-minded about the world in which they live, an audience that could use a harmless little eye opening, his style and erudition have always been off-putting to his detractors.

As much as I agree with the scope of the book and would probably want to high-five Dawkins after reading it, this won't kick off any open discussion with creationists, and it won't change anything.  It's just another piece of scientific literature for intellectuals to feel smug about and fundamentalists to dismiss as satanist liberal indoctrination.

Why not simply make the Apostle better?  Using a ridiculously overpowered movement ability on an underpowered class doesn't seem like the best balance move.  Especially if you're allowing these classes to carry secondaries.

Palom and Porom!  That's my official guess.

I think there is too much assumption that Hulk or Wolverine will necessarily win against Jonas Bros or Hannah Montana, respectively.

You never know.  The Jonas Bros' promise rings could very well summon up a Captain Planet-esque being that pummels Hulk with pure, chaste virginity powers.  Virginity is, after all, the greatest weakness of comic book characters.

And Hannah Montana is a master of disguise!

#1 forgot to put all of her armor on.  Shows a lack of preparation.  Unless she wants to have her thighs hacked and slashed.

Inquisitors, to me, seem like the sort of people who would dot all their i's and cross all their t's, you know?

Seems a bit scatterbrained to be concentrating on fightin' spellcasters, and underdressed against melee opponents.

Moon is excellent.  Recommendation seconded.

Alma's giving birth to a supposedly fully formed and armored Algus, that is why she hides her face in shame.

Dome's the best.  That is what is Obvious.

This does nothing to soothe my "omg can't wait until release" syndrome.

Awesome video.  I can't wait!

A straight uses five cards.  One status per card.  One status per suite seems a bit more abstract.

Moogles are slam-dancing magical steampunk bear cat bunny dandelion bats.

Tonberries don't compute.

Flans piss me off by existing.

I am in love with the fact that there is fanart of me now!  As a girl.  Probably as a blue mage.

I am slowly becoming a someone.

My thinking is I'd easily throw a few bucks some dude's way to have access to all of the crazy extra content I've gotten here.

NOW I HAVE!  I'd like to thank this site for existing.

I could have sworn I was logged in when I donated.
