I've been swinging by his den of bible thumping, science denying, racist, misogynistic tools - and it's great. I've not been so excited since I stumbled across uncommon descent. If they're not bashing evilution, they're banging on about the perils of naturalism, and how angels might be messing with stuff. All the time, Vox pomps and preens - very much like DaveTard. I shall be updating here from time to time, but if you're a Tardaholic like me, your boats come in..

Didn't Vox virtually guarantee us that Hilary would get Dem nomination? That one's not looking too good about now......

"Vox" is Theodore Beale, a spoiled rich kid -- son of multi-millionaire Jesus Freak and Federal Inmate (tax evasion) Robert Beale. He's also a wanna-be S-F writer and general idiot.
Lots of verbiage, damned little substance to his posts -- either on his blog or on Watta Nut Daily. I was amused, though, by < this "column" on PZ Myers > and "Crackergate" posted: July 14, 2008.
"Vox" gazes into his crystal balls and ventures that
---------------------QUOTE------------------- "what actually demonstrates the cowardly nature of this self-aggrandizing atheist [PZ Myers, natch] is the fact that there is no chance that he will follow through on his anti-cracker threats now that it is clear there may be material consequences, however minor, to his actions.
The saltines are safe, for just as there are no atheists in foxholes, there is no vow that the militant atheist will not violate if he perceives any risk to his material well-being. ---------------------QUOTE-------------------
Yeah, that worked out real well for you, "MENSA" boy.

I went over there and let's just say it's going to take a gallon or two of bleach for my brain to ever be as it was pre-exposure.
I did like the description in the comments on "Dispatches...."
"Someone, maybe Orac, issued my favorite quote about Day/Beale: How can you take anything seriously written by a guy with a merkin on his head? (or words to that effect)"

I believe Reciprocating Bill read it as well. I can't remember what thread he put his review on--I think it was the Unreasonable Kansans thread, but it could have been the Ftk research thread.
IIRC, he seemed to think it missed the boat quite often: not actually making the case against each atheist's argument. At least the bits he quoted seemed to have much better sentence structure and meaningful content than Denise O'Leary. It's something, anyway.
You seem to have liked it somewhat better. Perhaps I'll have a go at it when I'm on the road this fall.

You can get it for free from his site (there's a link somewhere) in pdf format. I have it but have not read it.
There was a blogger who took the time to read it and dissect it, and that may be in wherever the older post is, but Austin Cline has a lot of Vox, including a bit on his book (http://atheism.about.com/sitesearch.htm?terms=vox&SUName=atheism&TopNode=99).
I think it was Evangelical Realism (link to the old blog, but posts continue if I read correctly - < http://realevang.wordpress.com/) > - look for TIA tuesday.

I disagree on one point, Vox while a complete tool-bag, is very intelligent. He does, however, lack the ability to interpret information without his religious biased.
Facts make sense to him except when they are contrary to his religious, emotional beliefs. Then they are just complete lies.

He's on the wireless now, bashing them thar athiest types..
< http://voxday.blogspot.com/2008/08/on-radio.html >
Edits - to sort of liveblog.
The fact that these books are doing so well just shows how badly them atheism is doing. Atheism comes from the aftermath of 911... so it's about fear of islam. He has no clue what 'agnostic' means.. but is waffling on anyway. Host has just offered 'atheism is a religion'. Vox sounds like he's 14 on the phone, BTW. now and advert for "homeschool heartbeat" He might be debating Hitchens soon - but Dawkins wont debate Vox, because he's scared obviously. Again - Atheism is a reaction to Islam. USA is too rich, therefore atheism. what is wrong with atheism? It works under a delusion. it borrows its ethics and shit from religion... then some bizarre non sequitur to Stalin killing people. the commentator tells us about caveman morality - the vox talks about the evolution of morals. Commentator says "Vox = male man coulter". Vox says he's a 'cruelty artist'. Vox does his philosophy like he plays his first person shooters, apparently. Them atheists aren't free thinkers. There's lots of evidence for god, just not scientific evidence. Geology, Evloution and Biology = crocks of shit. Vox is part of a new Tard movement - against 'secular hedonism'.. Vox had to choose between Nihilism and Christianity, apparently. Republicans are too leftist, also.

I offered my thoughts in three posts. If you read the discussion following the third, you'll see that Ftk brought my critique to VD's attention. VD briefly responded - without addressing any of the major points I raised. You'll also notice that Ftk never responded to any of the points I made, and the topic died. (Dog bites man.)

I suspect we're going to be seeing more and more of this behavior as it becomes eminently clear to younger men that the law is becoming ever more hostile to their sex. One can just picture the woman imperiously making her righteous demand of the two young thugs in the full confidence that the law is not only on her side, but protecting her, then finding herself sailing through the air as her position and her misplaced confidence are met with a speedy and forceful rebuttal. ---------------------QUOTE-------------------

This is some really repressed gay shit
---------------------QUOTE------------------- Chuck's Chun Kuk Do was unbelievably strong, but his flexibility has waned with the years and so the lightning-fast sokuto intended for my solar plexus only grazed my left shin. Even so, the speed of it forced me to switch from an aggressive Tiger stance to a more defensive Nekko-achi, from which I snapped a front kick that would have crushed his jaw had he not slashed down with a patented Shigawire Mustache block that severed two of my toes. Screaming in pain and fury, I leaped backward while throwing a defensive maegeri that didn't make contact, but blinded him with a spray of blood. While Chuck rubbed at his face to clear his vision, I took advantage of his momentary blindness to attack again and broke several of his ribs with a skipping left sokuto that left a bloody footprint on his white gi.
Chuck doubled over and I stepped forward to throw a right-left combination to his head that would have finished him, but the movement turned out to be a ruse. Just as I threw the right hook, he caught my wrist, twisted his body and threw me over his shoulder, slamming me into the pavement in front of my garage. I was stunned, naturally, and my shoulder was dislocated, but I managed to roll away before he drove his heel down into my throat. Still, I was in a very precarious position and had all but given up hope of keeping the hawk on Monday's front page. Fortunately for me, the disturbance of the air caused by my violent passage through it had slightly ruffled Joseph Farah's exquisitely coiffed mane, so Mr. Farah immediately called time, declared the match a draw, and told us to sort it out amongst ourselves while he flipped open his solid gold satellite phone and arranged for an emergency styling right there in the driveway.

Vox occasionally self proclaims himself an expert in AI.
Here's what players of his games think:
< http://www.mobygames.com/game/windows/rebel-moon-rising/mobyrank >
and
< http://www.somethingawful.com/d/game-reviews/war-heaven.php >
---------------------QUOTE------------------- ...They are equipped with deadly weapons (sticks) and advanced artificial intelligence so complex that they are capable of either walking towards you OR walking away. Sometimes the enemies choose to run in place or get stuck in doorways, but this is probably just part of God's master plan (I assume). Occasionally enemies will disappear too, which is definitely an added bonus that kept me "on my toes." The game designers also opted to throw in more "difficult" versions of the same enemy. The difference between a normal badguy and its more difficult brother is their skin hue, and the fact that it takes three minutes of holding down the "attack" key to kill the difficult guy, as opposed to the normal two. After playing this game for many hours, I have discovered the optimal attack plan, which you should follow when encountering any kind of enemy in this game:
1) Approach opponent by walking towards it in a straight line. They will do the same. 2) Hold down the "attack" key.* 3) Wait until enemy dies or game crashes. 4) Repeat instructions until everything on map is dead.
* Advanced tactic (for experienced players only): try moving to the right occasionally. It doesn't really help, but you end up a little bit to the right of where you originally were.

Alpha Gay re: whatshernames purported creationist beliefs...
---------------------QUOTE------------------- To claim that a man or a woman should be disqualified from political participation for failing to genuflect before the current state of science - an intrinsically moving target - is anti-democratic, fascistic, and historically ignorant. One can make a much better case for limiting government by sex, height, or even hair color, things that are far less subjective and less given to abuse by an authoritarian oligarchy. And given the fact that scientage is a dynamic entity, the abjuring of the admittedly bad science of yesterday is no guarantee that today's scientific consensus is not tomorrow's bad science. ---------------------QUOTE-------------------

Sometime soon, I'll do a post on social autism and we'll discuss it then since I'm truly not interested in an echo chamber.

One can just picture the woman imperiously making her righteous demand of the two young thugs in the full confidence that the law is not only on her side, but protecting her, then finding herself sailing through the air as her position and her misplaced confidence are met with a speedy and forceful rebuttal. ---------------------QUOTE-------------------

I have a confession to make. I like...the John Norman "Gor" books. I like them because of his hideous run-on style, some quirky humor, and the taken-from-history sci-fi/fantasy setting. When he gets into psychology and male-female relationships, I admit my mind shuts down, my eyes glaze over, and I have to skip past. Too many readings of "a man is a lion, a woman is a flower" and horribly funny stereotypes where women say they want to be men...but that's what Teddy thinks is true.
Sad, and scary. Sociopaths usually are.

I guess that someone is pointing out that in ancient times, people lived 900 years - just look at Adam and Noah! ?
Maybe someone can point out that there is evidence that life span and health was greater in ancient times, well, greater until the advent of farming, when life expectancy and health dropped. Then it kept on down until science came along and progress was made. His whole Biblical view was right down there in the low-and-dirty lifespan.

My perpetual, and perpetually unanswered question [on the amusing assumption that mud stuffin hasn't already fled the building] is: just what the heck is this 'god' thingie that you are so convinced science has provided incontrovertible proof of the existence thereof? In my not inconsiderable experience, 'god' is at best a meta-syntactic placeholder, or an affirmation of group membership on the 'us' side of the 'us vs them' preconceptual mentation indulged in by the likes of vox dei and others of that ilk. But I do eagerly await a definition, description, or at least operational instructions as to how I could tell that what I had discovered was a god rather than some other thingy.

Tell me about it.
I got a 1st Ed. AD&D book for my daughter's 18th birthday (she games with my group). Fortunately it was only $10.

My box of late-70s vintage AD&D books, Dragon magazines, modules, and so forth was a casualty of our latest move.
I hadn't noticed any career opportunities with options for retirement benefits for "dungeonmaster for hire"...

I've just got my PS3 turned on to continue Fallout 3. That is uber-kewl, especially when I blow some super-mutant up and have his head splatter apart in slow motion.
Yeah, I'm sick.
(But, yeah, I spent quite a bit to buy the boxed Runequest and Troll Pack, just for the memories, but maybe I'll get a game up too. I still have my first edition champions books, a lot of my old D&D, and many of the games I mentioned.)

I'd forgotten about that one. Hadn't played that one in longer than all of my students have been alive (but not all added together, that is).
I grew up on Panzer Leader, Starship Troopers, that Minarian Legends game...got to look that up, if I could remember the name...
Never did play Cosmic Encounter, but I heard that could be a bit on the intense side.

10-15 years ago I used to sell high performance networked PC's to a small groups of geophysicists in oil companies for <cough> *seismic interpretation software*. Each time we put in a new system out would come the latest Quake and we would have a BLAST FEST ...erm just to test the speed of the gear you understand.
My favorite board game is
Oxford:"The Great Oxford Game of the English Language"
It's *....erm really popular....*

One word: Runescape.
It's so bad, it's good. As MMPORGs go it is the shizzle IMO. Sadly I have....
{Does rough calculations, factoring in imminent baby, redecorating "office" as "nursery", working hard to get big promotion to pay for imminent baby, trying to get back to match fitness (and removing fat bastard status accumulated by combinations of injury, years of debauchery and sloth) again by handing my life over to a gym, doing extra work writing a book when I can (chemistry, don't get excited, it should be ready about 20 years after I die), fucking about on Teh Intarwebs (naughty, one of the guilty pleasures still allowed to me...although perhaps not for long) and sleeping (which I won't be doing for long either apparently)}
....minus four days a week to play it. Can we campaign for the 11 day week, 5 at work, 2 for the weekend 4 for MMPORGs? Will it fly?
And as with all these things it can get a bit repetitive and dull just clicking away and unlike real gaming, it's hardly social in the same way.
However, and I will say this, possibly to the consternation/outrage of many, the one problem I found with RPGaming is, erm, other gamers. There are a majority of utterly sad bastards out there in my experience, and gaming with morons never appealed. The few times I've found fun gamers have been great however, although it's >16 years now since I've gamed. Maybe in the USA, where it's more popular I understand, it's a better environment, but nowadays I'd rather be outdoors in the few moments I get, walking, swimming, something, ANYTHING rather than being cooped up again.
Oops diversion!
Does anyone here play MMORPGs? I've heard interesting things about WoW, but never played a game. I did have an old version of just plain Warcraft for my old Mac about...umm....some years ago (10 I think) and it was fun ish.

My advice: Don't go.
I've been avoiding the Alpha Fail, like all TARD that hasn't been at least filtered through someone else's brain, for a while.
I did read his "book" however.
I woke up in hospital having had a massive brain fart (proper medical term that). Apparently blood was gushing from my nose as I read each page and I had to be kept alive by infusions of blood and minced copies of useful philosophy books.
There comes a point when the TARD is simply too powerful for one person to encompass and they collapse into a TARDhole. This is what has happened to Vox Doofus. Dangerous to get close to. I suggest a dose of rationality, go read the Wikipedia entry on The Enlightenment. It usually brightens my day.

In the same register (although a bit under technicaly), but FREE, there is Rappelz.
I've played it for about 2 months last year, and it was aaaarrrggghh ("higlhy enjoyable", or "quick, more boiling oil", or "Your wife is a big hyppo").
I've had to put a stop to it for fear of my social life. But it's still really nice and entertaining, and one thing I liked with it is that there was a server with no PvP whatsoever, which greatly reduces one's need to buy a shotgun and get into IP-localisation lessons...
