"BGSU has a gaming society?! Now I REALLY hope I get to go there!"

And then I want to use technology to remove involuntary arousal

That's more pharmacology, but I suppose that could be seen as a very abstract and loosely related technological advancement.

Er, yes, because synthesizing chemicals is only loosely related to the technology we need in order to do it

I'm not sure if you've ever had Organic Chemistry. But if you did, you'd known that for example some anti-bacterial medicine came from someone using blue dye chemicals on people, or noticing that some bacteria stayed away from fungus. It's just Smurfing around with chemicals and see what happens under what conditions. That's not science, hardly technology, and one of the reasons I don't count Biology under science (I can put it in Life Sciences, if you're into that sort of stuff).

Oh, and I don't count temperature baths and condensation controls as "technology", at least not complex ones.

And before you start talking about Nanostructures and all that, that's Nanoscience, not pharmacology.

And now it's just waiting for the inevitable reply where you belittle me even if you don't know anything about the subject. Chain.. Nay, Circle of burn, I call this.

Methodical process of discovering what effects different things have on each other = not science? I really HAVE been misinformed!

Oh just get a room already, you two

Yeah, I know you guys are closer than a pair of fleshy buttocks, but this PDA is embarrassing Rantzien. He doesn't react well to this stuff!

Going on IRC is pretty much the nerdiest thing I do. I hope it doesn't get much worse than that. I would never join an organization that calls themselves a "gaming society". The name alone gives me the impression it's full of WoW players.

[Momiji]

The only way you'd get me to join a gaming society is if they played arcade games-- and actually appreciated them.

Nobody who calls a shoot-'em-up a shmup is deserving

[Momiji]

I play more than just those, though!

[~*~Celes~*~]

from what I've seen on the games list, they play a large variety of games. I'll see if I can get the list from Spring semester '08.

Ah, here it is: Games of Society

And according to the facebook group that's almost never posted on , they've added console games as well.
