STEAM!
...infused with the bat**** insanity of Saint's Row 2. That's what the world needs. I never played any of the taxi or ambulance side mission type stuff in the older GTA games, and car modification in SA was mostly pointless, so I didn't miss that stuff in GTAIV. The Saint's Row games did the extra stuff so much better than GTA anyway. RDR is the only Rockstar open world game I ever achieved 100% in. Really? Lamborghini clone, plus hydraulics, plus afterburners, plus offroad tires. Comedy effective escape vehicle of the game.

What are you playing now?
You just stop at the level cap? No instances or raids for better gear? BTW, Im digging the (new to me) WoW Armory. I've never played WoW, but surely you could go around SETTING quests for people if you're that high up? Dispensing cryptic wisdom, that sort of thing.

FO: NV (General Discussion)
I'm hugely enjoying my hardcore mode play through. It completely changes the logistics, and inevitably how you play, move etc. I've got caches dotted around, and also am far far far more cagey about getting into fights than before. Cazadores leave me running away like a little kid, whimpering. Not playing so NCR friendly this time, and that changes a big bunch of stuff for obvious reasons. First time through I didn't realise how much they controlled. Also, it's amazing how much I simply didn't find on my first play through. Not just one offs, but seemingly whole regions.

TV of the last decade..
That's a bloody silly thing to say, if you don't mind my saying so. Granted there's a lot of trash, but there's piles of enjoyable and even interesting TV come out of the USA.

Attacks on Coptic christians in Egypt
It's more the opposite. http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2010/j...bducted/?page=1 Never I believed I could hate someone just because of their faith, but it's happening. Hence my original post. The wee ****ers are winning every time tension and hatred grows.

Movies you've seen recently
The LIves of Others Film about the Stasi, and one couple in particular. Kind of reminds me of being a mod. Five stars.

Good Sci-Fi and Fantasy books
Not sure I could handle that book. It's not like I need depressing at the moment.

I just got the weirdest feeling that Sluggo's turning into the next Elmore Leonard.

Attacks on Coptic christians in Egypt
Well, there was an attack in Iraq which claimed coptic Christians wre the inspiration. Claimed they were abducting Muslim women. Which sounds laughable, but my experience with many folks from the Mideast is that they'll believe all sorts of mad stuff if it sounds juicy enough. Just look at how much the Protocols sells over there...

I'd love for them to repackage TIE fighter with some modern engine. Same basic missions and story.

What you did today
Probably why he picked the fight. Also, don't underestimate old geezers with bad attitudes. They're often very bad news in my experience. A young feller might knock a tooth out, but an old **** might follow you home and set fire to it.

Attacks on Coptic christians in Egypt
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-12103248 AlQ been busy this festive season. I'm in a pretty sunny mood generally, but I've got a bad feeling about these attempts to precipitate ethnic tensions. It seems like we've totally surrendered the initiative to AlQ et al. and they're making inexorable headway towards all out war.

CGI films with mods
I am probably talking through my hat here, but I'd say actually CGI DOES make it more likely that a film is utter balls. Mainly because it can be made by a disparate team, with even less commitment to the project, even less supervision, and initiated by people with less credentials in making film. Just a notion.

What are you playing now?
Gamed out at the minute. New Vegas, Alpha protocol, Civ 5, GTA V, Left 4 Dead 2.

Belarusian Presidential Elections, 2010
I am into computer games, actually. I just don't feel the need to post about it incessantly on the internet! Yes, because doing that on a games forum would be inexcusable.

You mean like a system architect, or just compliance monitor?

Belarusian Presidential Elections, 2010
I got to say the thing I most love about LoF is how he thinks that putting a gif of a computer game in his sig we'll somehow think he's into computer games. Rather than just spamming the board with propaganda every few weeks. It's almost endearing. Like a puppy wearing shoes.

Suicide / Euthanasia
That's a pretty shocking case. I worked with CP kids when I was a teenager, helping at a special school. I kinda liked them. I'm not saying I'm a saint though. I felt more and more compelled to help, so I cut loose. Anyway, point being that CP is dramatic, and I wouldn't always call it a life. But it's not degenerative, and not normally painful (excluding fluid on the lungs which is common). BUt I could see someone trying to divest themselves of a CP kid pretty easily. Not everyone. But there's a bunch of a-holes out there.

Any professional/skilled editors looking to add to resume?
My advice is to be polite and interested in everyone you meet. Seriously. I met a lady earlier this year who I talked to out of feeling sorry for her being stuck in a corner at a party. Turned out at the end of the conversation she gave me her card and she's this big film producer! Ditto numerous other occasions.

CGI films with mods
Yeah, and MacD's is the best food in the world. Actually I saw the Scrooge film above and have to give it props for using a lot of Dickensian English. Not sure if the word filter will let one of the greatest English authors through. Actually, I'd love to see what Dickens would write about the internet.

It is snowing in Australia at the moment
I f&&&ing love the glossary. Particularly "of great theoretical and practical importance" which I think may have come directly from some of my essays. Krez: science apolitical? WTF? Please don't make me come all the way to Australia just to smack you with a plank with 'no such thing as scientific fact' written on it.

What you did today
Got back from Ireland yesterday. The trip can be expertly summarised to around 70% by the song . Withe remaining 30% consisting of boiled ham, irish whisky, fog, and bad driving.

US and EU have strange friends
KLA was intentionally trying to provoke Serbs by committing terrorist acts against them, and they and other Muslim groups in the Balkans received support from both Al Qaeda and Iran. Evidence? Any? I've never heard anything of the kind. Not to any significant degree.
