You know, it took my about 12 years to finally learn how to joust in that game!

I actually don't mind the rule.

Thank you thank you thank you for informing me of the Flying Spaghetti Monster!

I'm pretty sure everybody is pro-choice. I'm also pretty sure everybody is pro-life. I know I am. I enjoy both life, and choice! As an aside, the thread was locked for a reason. Posting a continuance simply because you missed out makes me just think, oh well, too bad. I've missed out on threads before, or not gotten a chance to reply to a comment due to a thread being locked.

You need the appropriate research (I'm assuming naval yards), and there's a tech event. I've never actually done it myself (as I'm not far enough into a game yet). I believe the boat you have to build is a Caravel.

A small update on the attacks in Burma. Red lines represent air forces, blue is naval, and green is land. Sorry about the quality, it looked better prior to uploading it to the shack. Attacks on Myitkyina were initially quite successful, though Japanese troops of attempted a counterattack. A large force came from Imphal in the North, secured the railroad, and split into two groups. A large force began digging in along the railroad, in anticipation for the expected Japanese counterattack from Mandalay, while a few divisions and brigades were dispatched east, to flank Japanese forces in Myitkyina. Shortly after the fall of Myityina, Chinese troops began advancing towards the border, in an attempt to both keep the Burma road open, as well as prepare for an assault on Lashio. Akyab in the west has a decent port, and a large airfield, and is a tertiary objective as it allows for additional air coverage over Mandalay, as well as Rangoon. It's also easy to supply, with its port. Forces in Calcutta, Dacca, and Chandpur prepare for an amphibious assault to take the naval base. C-47 transports make daily supply runs to the North Army, as well as Myitkyina. Submarines, as well as carrier task forces, guard against resupply (less of an issue, since there's a land connection into Malaya and Siam/Thailand), and more importantly reinforcement, directed towards Rangoon. On the plus side, it is very possible to isolate Rangoon from rail lines, once the intial objective of Mandalay is achieved. After that, it's only resupply via sea, and the 4 aircraft carriers operating out of Diamond Harbour (Calcutta) are loaded with several Swordfish Torpedo Bombers will attempt to interdict any attempts to resupply. Lack of supply will cause natural attrition, and make capturing Rangoon exceptionally easier. Capturing Rangoon serves as a doorway into Siam and Malaya. It has extensive airfields and a large, deep water port. It's they key strategic objective of the entire region. Taking Siam and Malaya will take pressure off of the Chinese, and likely also lead to Japan losing control of Indochina. All three aspects will be devastating to Japan's resources and industry.

Oh yes. It is a gong show. And yeah, Hejda played well.

Which comment was that? I haven't been going there nearly as much any more, since I've felt there's been a large influx of stupid lately.

What place in the game had unlimited respawns? I guess there were the few places where guys were being dropped in from Ospreys.

I agree. The biggest gaffe was that the music, which in the original game was played off the CD, is interrupted by a loading screen. This was very, very bad, as it really took away from We've Got Hostiles. In that level, there's a part where you get into an elevator and starting going up, and hit a loading screen. In the original game, a music piece starts playing just before, and you hear it start up as the loading screen comes up. That whole scene completely sold the game for me (especially seeing as I knew nothing about the story of the game) and the music was a huge part of it. Playing through it again, without the music, was disappointing to say the least.

So much for standardized hardware. I know developers were already disappointed with the fact that some had hard drives and some didn't.

So? The association is there. Otherwise this thread would never have existed. Roshan himself admits the association to Nazism, as he started this thread. Christians aren't satanic worshippers, yet they've distanced themselves from the pentagram, because of the association it now has with the occult.

So?

I was laughing at the hilarity of it all. I couldn't believe we tied it up.

Except that he stated straight up that disallowing it would be with respect to the association it has with Nazism.

What does this have to do with the Patrick Stefan

I'm a huge fan of System Shock 2, but I wholeheartedly agree.

I thought I was able to convince the bandit leader to become a lieutenant at Fort Locke. I can't remember though.

Boooo ebaumsworld

I don't think there really is a distinction between best game and favourite game, when it comes to one's own opinion. I'd find it odd if the game you felt was absolute best was not at least one of your favourites. Having said that, I suppose it is possible to look at somethings objectively. I can recognize that Starcraft is an excellent game, even though I was no longer playing RTS games when it came out. So what do I know?

Is that truly possible? By stating something is morally wrong, aren't you (even unintentionally) imposing moral judgement?

I remember Xen and its mediocrity, but I would still pick it as the best FPS ever. The reason why I stuck through Xen was because the first 2/3rds of the game had me so hooked that it could have been **** on a plate and I'd have still eaten it up like mad. The only FPS that really gave Half-Life a run for its money for me, was Deus Ex. And that's probably because Deus Ex was a genre busting game, that I don't really consider to be a "pure" FPS, more like a conglomeration of ass kicking awesomeness. Whenever I make my list of best games, both games frequently occupy the top two spots. I typically put Half-Life ahead of it, since it was first and was pretty much the game that brought me back to PC gaming. The only other "pure" FPS that typically makes the list is Half-Life 2. The other FPS game that would be a fixture would probably be System Shock 2. Naturally just my opinion.

Ghosts? It's been a while since I played it, but where were the ghosts?

Always! I'm still writing this off as the traditional midseason funk our team always seems to get into. The HFBoards is hi-larious right now though.
