A massively multiplayer Grand Theft Auto-style game from David Jones, creator of the billion-dollar Grand Theft Auto franchise, looked like a home run on paper. An open world, very slick character customization, and emergent gameplay where any criminal activity immediately flagged a proportional response from legalized vigilantes just couldn't lose.
All Points Bulletin's great ideas crashed headfirst into a disastrous execution anchored to a fading dinosaur of a business model — the monthly subscription fee. Before even making it to the three-month mark, Realtime went into administration and turned the APB servers off, effectively killing the game on September 16, 2010.
Sadly, no sex tapes exist to shed light on the sex lives of dinosaurs, but fossil evidence has revealed a few facts about their procreative habits. Research has found, Life Size Dimetrodon Model for example, that dinosaurs were sexually active before reaching full physical maturity, not unlike human teenagers.
And a recent study suggests that dinosaurs -- like their avian relatives -- had feathered tails that they used in courtship displays to attract a mate.
But nobody really knows just how endowed male dinosaurs were, which makes questions about their sexual habits mere guesswork. Some experts have speculated that a large penis may have made the missionary position unnecessary for dino-copulation.
Massive volcanic eruptions can clearly create global destruction by dimming sunlight, Artificial Parasaurolophus-Dinosaurs Model causing sudden climate swings and acidifying the ocean. But it might be a bit harder to see how the impact of a large rock from space can reach into habitats halfway around the globe. Yet that's exactly what we think happened during the extinction that killed off all the non-avian dinosaurs. A paper in the Journal of Geophysical Research reviews the evidence for what its authors consider the most plausible model for global mayhem caused by the impact: its debris lit all the world's forests on fire at once.
