Yep. Not worth the first week price IMO. To slow to get going, and to reliant on "BUT DERE BE AN ENTIRE WOOOORLD OUT DERE FOR YAH!" style gameplay and content.

*insert trend bucking here* I was ok with Mordin. He went out well, and we'd gotten to know him fairly well. However LEGION I was kind of pissed about. Not because he died, but because we basically didn't get to interact with him all that much. He shows up on one mission, then you have just enough time to get his loyalty up and do that before you end the game in ME2. And ME3 has him pop up only as a non-squaddie who WILL die (in one form or another). Legion is, overall, my favorite character, and showing my bias I am annoyed that he gets so little screen time... especially in comparison to Tali. I don't mind that he went out overall... it's just that in comparison to MANY of the other characters in 2 and 3, he wasn't allowed to visit with the players nearly as much as any other squad member in the game.

I think the issue is that a lot of malls were built when they were the center of the city. Since then the centers have been moved and people don't want to go into a cave to find a retail outlet.

I think we have 2 bucks for a good slice of pizza, and a large soda at lunch. and 1$ for "growlers" (a 40 basically) over at the Olde Main distillery. Other news, My school is playing Tulsa in a bowl I'm visiting the Health center to get my digestive tract figured out Finals are next week.

Visiting my student health center today due to digestive issues. Hope it's nothing to bad, and pray that my doc gives me more than "eh, it'll pass. Rough it out!" Given finals are next week.

It could... you're seeing a new generation entering power, and the scene at the DNC certainly did nothing to ensure Israel's stability as a "no matter what" ally.

Im still pissed by the Inquisitor ending. *shakes fist at sky* That entire line was a giant let down. Just for giggles. Been playing Most Wanted and WoW for the most part.

That's pretty much what we've got here. It's far from ideal, though. http://en.wikipedia....ki/Nordic_model http://en.wikipedia....wiki/Folkhemmet Excellent and informative links, I know that no economic system is perfect but I firmly believe that the Scandinavian countries have the correct balance. What would you say are the issues with the Scandinavian economic system? Everything costs a pile. 4 hamburgers is 100 bucks

I dun caught the 24 hour flu it appears first time I've had a serious bout with it since I was... 4(?) when I threw up, ran into my parents room to inform them that "I exploded". If this persists longer than that I'll be hitting either a clinic or an ER. Because this isn't allowing me to keep ANTHING down (right now I'm surviving on ginger ale and water).

And then my body decided to reject my meal for the day yay for painful belly because of very hard ab usage

Today I saw Looper Also OH JESUS SPAM!

An awesome deal... Except, I've already bought the ones I would want from the bundle. Darn. Bought Endless Space (emperors edition) at 50% off. Still looking for something to strike that right balance that Moo2 had. Their own CEO bought it for a million bucks, donated to charity

From what I read in headlines, the American government is similar.

Surprised you haven't dragged that old name out of the bin and used it once or twice to mess with newbies.

So Palestine is now recognized by the UN as it's own nation, independent of Israel

Weren't most of the German fighters during the war NOT nazi members? Thus it's not so much a glorification of the Nazi's as it is a remembrance of the soldiers.

And if we disclose your name you will find us and kill us? Pic related: Maybe in the sense that he will take all our money.

I dunno man, Id go for KING OF IRELAND! Huzzah. Eh, the UK doesn't have the "If you can prove you have a relative from Germany, you're an automatic citizen". Germany does and my Grandmother is Penn. Dutch (and even has a few baptismal notices in German from her parents/grandparents time)

Learned last night that I might be able to claim german citizenship due to a great grandparent on my mothers side. HMMMMMMMMM

IF the Israeli's end up in a position to use the nukes, it'd be interesting to see what happens if the pop one or two off.

PR. Palestine was created at the same time, and if Israel were to eliminate it they'd either A) have to integrate the muslim population into their own or B) have to expel the muslim population. One is entirely unwanted by them, the other becomes a PR nightmare.

We always will be. The argument will neither go away ever (it's been had for centuries) it's just that the semantics will slightly change

Ah, but the entire conflict is built on the past. If you look to the future how do you get over the inherent discrimination of the Jewish state against Arabic speaking and Muslim adherents? Hell, you could probably compare the situation to the one found in South Africa during Apartide, except that the entire world sided with the discriminated population rather than feeling sorry for the discriminator. As to the Israeli's winning. The only reason they've been winning is because they have constant military support (although not direct) from the US. Oh, and economic support in the form of millions/billions of dollars being funneled into the state.

Except that the issue with the "who owns the land" argument, is that it validates what the Palestinian leadership and groups like Hamas are saying. That they're an ethnic group stuck on land they used to own but were kicked off, and that the Israeli's are the outside invader. Yes Israel has existed for 50odd years now, but that still doesn't mean that the Palestinian argument isn't valid. Israel has to balance it's public image to the world because of that. If they're coming down to hard on Palestine, they loose support. If that support is lost, they're dead meat because the local Arabic states will pop in and just steamroll them in a Jihad. I mean if they loose the American support, then the "allies" of America in the area (Saudi's mainly) could probably be drawn into the situation fairly easily.
