Wow, I like the completely stupid and pointless comparison considering cars are specifically designed to collapse in certain ways on impact to protect their passengers.

The fact that skydivers do not always get turned into paste on impact is beyond debate. Oh wait. Maybe reality doesn't apply to you because it's 'outside of a vacuum?'

I know that you are big into just making things up and hating the actual meanings of words, but I'm just going to leave this here.

All Knowing Wikipedia wrote...

Science fiction is largely based on writing rationally about alternative possible worlds or futures.[2] It is similar to, but differs from fantasy in that, within the context of the story, its imaginary elements are largely possible within scientifically established or scientifically postulated laws of nature(though some elements in a story might still be pure imaginative speculation).

You realize he's going to go there now and edit it to fit his definition, right?

Oh, wait, this isn't TVTropes. =]


LOL great the knuckle draggers have gone to the concrete bastion of facts known as Wikipedia :lol:

Yep, the human body is more durable than a car in a high speed impact. 

You've yet to show one instance of where a sky diver hit the ground directly at 120mph, which is the terminal velocity, and survived.

Edit:

Is your arse still chafing because you were too stupid to understand basic economics and statistical modeling limitations?

Science fiction is not the same as fantasy. Fantasy is an entirely different genre. That's like saying Dragon Age is science fiction.


EXACTLY


NOT exactly.  DA is medieval magic with absolutely no science being any significant part of the story.


But you said Science fiction is Fantasy(which it isn't) and dragon age is Fantasy........
You are contradicting yourself without even knowing it

Mass Effect does have elements of real science mixed in with science fantasy which equals science fiction

It comes with an outside source. Besides, I have professors who have been doctors for longer than probably all of our lives, and they admit that Wikipedia is solid. Get a dictionary if you want, I'm sure that they too are lying to sabotage your agenda of words that are older than you.

That's completely foolish, Deinon. Anyone on this forum is completely free and able to challenge any edits I've made. All you have to do is attain a consensus that you're right and I'm wrong, and my edits go down the drain.

I'm guessing most people are reluctant to do so because they can no longer rely on getting a thousand thumbs up for making very silly and baselss accusations against BioWare, and they're incapable of arguing otherwise.

Wake me up when someone is stupid enough to consider DA science fiction so I can see what you're getting at.

David used SCOFF

The attack was ineffective


...In case you hadn't noticed, I was poking fun at your having once edited a TVTropes article and then cited it as evidence to bolster one of your arguments.

You put Mass Effect and Dragon age in the same category thats where you Contradicted yourself.
The fact is that they are both RPGs. But ME IS Science fiction and DA is Fantasy.

I don't recall ever once using TV Tropes as evidence.

I've used it plenty of times as in invitation for people to argue their accusations somewhere they'll actually face scrutiny. That's not evidence.

Do you have any examples of me using TV tropes as evidence?

Br3ad put DA and ME in the same category and then you ran with it.  *face+palm*

Read my quote, again then, and point out where I said DA was science fiction.

And why not? I don't control TV Tropes. I'm not a mod. It's not up to me which posts stay and which go.

Trying to change reality mid-debate to prove that your subjective view is right is generally frowned upon.
