    I think this thread is making me want to play MMX again.

    And then Super Metroid, because that is another ridiculously awesome SNES game.

    all this is making me want to get back into my first playthrough of Earthbound. it's my buddy's game, and it's been in the snes for months. Waiting.

    Biology test omits creation theory, complains Kentucky educator
    In Hart County, about an hour and 20 minutes south of Louisville, the local school superintendent is now expressing his frustration that a new state biology test is, in his opinion, treating evolution as a fact, rather than a theory.

    He also charges that the test is omitting the "creation story" that cites God as the originator of the universe.

    This is something that should be included every high school biology curriculum.

    Well, not the experiment itself, just the results. But if some how you could recreate the experiment in a single year (which is doubtful) that would be amazing.

    Creationists would likely respond to that experiment by saying it's only microevolution, and thus doesn't count. Ignorance is invincible.

    MMX: I played it a while a few years ago and never beat any of the bosses.

    Super Metroid: I need to play this again because it is SO GOOD.

    Earthbound: I have never beaten it. I don't know how far in I've gotten (many hours as far as I know) but I have played the first few hours multiple times and its hard to redo them again.

    pretty sure I have, but haven't beaten super metroid.

    as for MMX or any of the other games, I think I only ever rented them sometimes, and never got far with them.

    This thread has reminded me that there are two MMXZ games and apparently another series after THAT that I haven't played yet.

    Although apparently they stopped being as nutscrushingly difficult after 1's and to a lesser extent 2's punishment.

    No no, I think he means "ur-religion", although why understanding the origins of religion in human culture would help here, I don't know.

    MMX is easily top 3 Super Nintendo. Super Metroid and LttP are probably the other two.

    It's a real shame it hasn't gotten the Zero Mission treatment. If there's one major Nintendo game that could use a remake like that I'd say it's Metroid 2.

    ... Maybe Zelda 2 also.

    this was super interesting, but what was even more interesting was the attempt by the fool who runs Conservapedia to 'obtain the data from the experiment' and the subsequent written smackdown that ensued. It's long as hell, but it's pretty entertaining to read:

    In other words, it’s not that we claim to have glimpsed “a unicorn in the garden” – we have a whole population of them living in my lab! [ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Unicorn_in_the_Garden] And lest you accuse me further of fraud, I do not literally mean that we have unicorns in the lab. Rather, I am making a literary allusion.

    this part is so good that I've googled for it just to read it again

    last thing I remember doing is saving Paula.

    Earthbound is the only RPG I've ever played where I force myself to change the characters' names before playing. Paula is my most hated female name ever. (If anyone here is named Paula, your name sucks.)

    And then, of course, there's Poo...
