they're usually the most into L4D2

This reminds me... for our random games of L4D2 that I usually drag Der kicking and screaming into I should start checking the group list more...

Vegas 2 is. If you're solo you and your team are Bishop, while the co-op partner is Knight.

He did hit one thing on the head tho. Western RPG's are way to focused on open world to have a good constant narrative line. Fallout three basically falls apart for me at Boomtown because you're flying all over doing quests, same with the Elder Scrolls series.

From the sound of it it's got no electronics or weapons systems put in it. Just the hull and engines sort of.

So... Basically an Odachi or Bastard Sword? Or a Zanbato if you're really going for everything.

Played some Dawn of War Retribution. Was a mite bit frustrated because (at least as IG) in the campaign rather than have squads that you're permanently assigned and then upgrade, you get a quad of heroes and then you have to build all your units. Of course, this may be IG only given that that's sort of how they work in fluff, but meh.

Ceaser has nothing on Gaius Marius!

RA3 was good to see The top of Mount rushmore pop open for a laser cannon and other shenanigans. In terms of pure gameplay it was hardly fantastic.

Ed Norton was Jerusalem. The dude with the mask and the leporasy.

This looks... AWESOME!

Officially changed my major. THink I actually impressed the new advisor with the fact that I asked if there was ANY of the professors who had a focus in Asian studies because based on their book wall (our teachers/students have written...) they were mostly either depression era america, or dark ages europe. Turns out there is (YAY!)

but swedes don't have the super awesome dance time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjczJNefsME

Partly Gorgon. The ritual suicide for honor came into effect AFTER the Tokugawa were installed and all the samurai had no real job but to sit around and carry swords. It became heavily ritualized because there was nothing else to do. When the Samurai actually were WARRIORS rather than glorified magistrates with swords, they were more pragmatic about their lives and situations.

I donno kafty. Not many Vikings would yank out their own eye so as to prevent weakness. Although Xiahou Dun did it better (he yanked it out and ate the sucker in the middle of a fight after being shot by an arrow IN SAID EYE) but he's a chinese guy from years before. Nor would they write an entire book on history, tactics and philosophy after beating another guy to death with a boat paddle. My name is Tadakatsu Honda, and I approve this message HONK HONK(I to am Tadakatsu Honda!)

Actually the ritual suicide came much later for simply losing.

Ghassan Massoud (if you're wondering he's playing Saladin from Ripley's Kingdom of Heaven for that shot, he's got some of the best moments of the movie along side Ed Norton). Feel Ed Norton should be put in here.

I'm gonna be honest, I find it a little odd that they had the SHIMAZU betray you rather than the Kobyakawa in the historical scenario. The Kobayakawa are historically the traitors, having only made their final allegiance to the Tokugawa after Iyeasu had a unit of muskets fire on his position. >.> <.< For those who don't know the Battle of Sekigahara was basically the deciding point of the future shogunate. The two sides clashing were those who supported the Toyotomi's (Hideyoshi was the first man in the era to unite ALL of Japan under his banner, then launched a few unsuccesful attacks on Korea before dying and having everything splinter), and the "upstarts" under Iyeasu Tokugawa. Mitsunari Ishida led the Toyotomi Loyalists and had possibly one of the most bad ass generals under his command (Yukimura/Nobushige Sanada). After Sekigahara Tokugawa basically mopped up the last of the Toyotomi and set up the 200 year long reign of the Tokugawa Shogunate that put Japan into a technological and sociological stasis that took Oliver Hazard-Perry opening their port with cannon to break them out of (and trigger a fairly bloody rebellion).

They're actually special ammunition fired OUT of rockets that kung-fu opponents to death before pulling out their own duel wielding rocket lesbians.

I played the demo's historical battle, it's pretty close to a no win scenario. Doesn't give you much tactical flexibility. Kind of annoying overall. But the new ranged combat etc is much better and the fights are FARRR bigger (upwards of 5k... admittedly I've been playing a LOT of rome). Looks fantastic but then what doesn't these days.

wrong you

My point was that the armies of nations tend to change only when either all the rest of society is already different (because the old "GET OFF MY LAWN!" generals have been forced out and replaced by somebody younger), or take a fast step to try to stay ahead of the curve to get recruitment numbers up. It's not so much that they care about any morals of any kind. They just care about being capable of fighting. If that means that they're somehow able to get a toad into combat as an effective by letting it mate with a caterpillar, they'd go for it.
