Do you base this on anything, or is it just what you feel?

Why must they have civil war?

One guy I work with is a Wii owner, and I guess for his Christmas family get together (we're talking a bunch of adults here, parents and grandparents alike) spent the whole day playing Wii sports. I guess the Grandma dominated in golf :D

Didn't you already mention this gripe, or am I just losing my mind? Some serious deja vu going on here.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean it's simply because there are more US troops in Iraq. I figured even you'd be able to figure that out. " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Oh it's because the invasion, and initial and previous troop buildup for occupation started pissing them off? With all those "friendly" fires demolishing homes with smart bombs and soldiers from a country of a much different religion and implying new and unwelcomed sets of ideas to their country's culture, government and social way of life, led by a bible thumping conservative start raping a few of them and kill much more Iraqis, either those who are innocent or those who wants them out for that same exact reason? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Why would someone that is not already motivated to be an insurgent, become one if more troops are added to a situation where there is already an occupation going on?

To be fair I haven't asked anyone for a PBEM. I still want to play as Japan and learn what it's like from their side. I'm sure someone will take me on, just because they like playing the game. I haven't asked yet though.

The problem I find is that their saying "if you're a grognard, you'll get the game." But I don't consider myself a grognard, and I still got the game. And I'm enjoying it. Even for the faults the AI has, it's still fun firebombing Rangoon in preparation for a land assault.

It's amazing you are actually able to type such drivel, considering you are living in a country whose safety was guaranteed by the US Cold War victory. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'm not sure there was a cold war victory. You might even consider that we all of us on this planet lost the "cold war". Look what we have now. :crazy: I'll say this about the cold war - at least back in the cold war days we didn't all piss in our pants in fear of some arab with a bad attitude leading a camel across the desert. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And who's to say that the end of the Cold War was the cause of all this? Places like Beirut and Lebanon in general were hardly "happy places" during the 80s.

Does a game like Company of Heroes feature a coop mode? Probably only team MP I imagine.

Like the Iraqi invasion being a catalyst for a Iraqi civil war. Bush planned ahead real well on that one. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> So shouldn't he have dealt with some "what ifs" rather than just living in the now?

Agreed. It would be true fatuity not to.

And I never said otherwise. If you question that it's not a good thing, then that means there is some of you that feels that it was a bad thing. Because there's right and wrong. Right?

Exactly, you are displaying board-game bigotry by not appreciating good cheating techniques that existed way before the computer was a games machine! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I used to cheat in Fighting Fantasy choose your own adventures all the time!

Where did you find this information. My research on DirectX 10 is rather, nonexistant.

Well, had it not been "won," you'd probably still have the arms race. Oh wait, that's a what if. Sorry. Wait a minute, you'd have to contemplate "what ifs" to come to the conclusion that "winning" the cold war may not have been a good thing.

They've supported many coups. No where did I say that anything they did in South America was good, so you can take that pretentious emoticon and shove it. EDIT: And thanks for that meta. I figured you'd know. I knew it started with a 'G' but was thinking of names like Garrick.

Handheld gaming eh? HOI2 can be coop...ish. It'd be interesting to play two teams against each other. The big problem with WW2 games, especially ones that allow a build up, is the metagaming. Hard to compete when America is already building up a million infantry divisions prior to war.

I suppose God Mode could exist in a board game. You know, just pretend you can't die or something. WHen you fall on the "you die" square, just ignore it!

So you don't plan for anything? You see, my "what if" is something that actually has happened in recent history. And given increased global interdependence, probably something that will happen again. In fact, the US has tried to be rather proactive about it, especially through South America. Not only do you not deal with "what ifs," you don't seem to care about "what has already happeneds." But whatever. If not having an explanation simply because of your bizarre concept of reality doesn't entail planning for the future, so be it. Not surprisingly, it seems as though the whole Hades "act" wasn't really an act at all.

Then I am quite confused about comments such as "God Mode" and save and reload.

On the plus side, I don't remember my plan either! :D I like Coop as well, but it just doesn't exist as much any more. And I definitely am unaware of coop in WW2 strategy games. Too bad a game like Silent Hunter 3 doesn't have good coop. It'd be fun being a mini wolfpack.

What if said civil war interrupts the economy of the US though. And no, I'm not saying that the Iraq situation is doing this. But global interdependence is a reality. What if a civil war starts somewhere, and as a result, many Americans end up losing their jobs, and the economy ends up on a heavy downward trend.

I'm wondering if people noticed that the 'it' was a hyperlink.

Oh yeah, I forgot about CM ahahahahaha If I can find the file, up for still playing it hahaha?

I'm surprised by how many older people seem to be entranced with the Wii. People I would never expect to play a video game console ARE playing the Wii. Also, what is a second party developer?
