What would make you believe that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You don't believe that? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Whether or not I believe it is irrelevant. I asked you why you believe that.

It's preseason. I'm not really all that super excited that my team blanked the Phoenix Coyotes 5-0, followed by a win against Flordia 2-1 last night.

No. More the unfinished plotholes and the rushing storyline... And I just KNEW that adding in animations one month before release was a case of bad late management and would be a sign for things to come (like this). But thank you to all people who tried to defend J.E. for the well-management he did and how he was able to put it all in and well (read: debugged) before the shipping Oct. 15 " <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And I'd like to thank you for yet again chiming in on an industry you clearly know nothing about. Good day.

Yes. Apparently the servers are too busy, and I'm not an important enough member to be granted access at the moment. EDIT: Oh, in other news, EHM 07 is going to be out soon!

Try this:

I found a picture of Matt Greene's Toilet Paper! ^_^

Why no confidence in Matt Greene? To be honest Bergeron, Smid, and Hejda all worry me more, especially on the defensive end. I haven't seen anyone play, but from your (and others) accounts, Smid seems like he's playing quite well, so hopefully he plays well enough to make the team. But I thought Matt Greene played better and better down the playoff stretch, even if he was good for a penalty a game. I have a good feeling about Greene.

He had 3 last night didn't he? Hopefully this offense first philosophy pays off enough that our question marks on defense are too exposed.

Did you get a chance to go to the Joey Moss game?

Hahaha awesome

After spending hours and hours adventuring with Shamino, Iolo, and Dupre, I was still disappointed with the NPC party members in Fallout. And I love Fallout.

After playing games today, I could definitely see the joinable NPCs of Fallout 1 and even 2 really turning some people off.

Hahaha.

What do you expect? A moment ago you were upset because you thought that the actual game was playable on a Cell Phone, yet needs high end graphics cards for the PC.

That's impossible, because Madden 94 is the greatest sports game.... no greatest game ever!!!!!!!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Who was talking about the greatest sports game?

Well, I think Civ 2 is the best Civilization game ever made ... my friend just downloaded it (it uses 4MB of RAM!) and hasn't been able to stop playing it since ... and he just bought a new Core 2 Duo XPS system (and just finished Quake IV). Some games defy their age. For example, there isn't a lot you can do to Tetris ... or Deus Ex! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Fair enough. Given that the sequels differ enough from Civ2, it's easy to say that. And there's always exceptions. I wouldn't be surprised if many still played Civ 2 just because it was first. The real test of time is (and I assume this is the case with your friend) whether or not someone that didn't play it when it first came out (and preferrably has played similar games since), picks it up and immediately prefers it to all others.

Not only that, but depending on an expansion, the costs are significantly lower than a full fledged game.

Man, if that was the case, I'd make sure my pawns and knights had plenty of kids, because Gothic Knights rock!

Volourn said that WW was available for download too. It's on the 1st page.

If the people of Sweden love their health care that much, and the right-wingers actually want to stay in power, I doubt they'll make too many drastic changes to it. However, it is possible that another party looking over it could help weed out some systemic inefficiencies.

Ah yes, I like open standards too. Stuff like OpenGL. I don't know if DirectX is technically an open standard (I have no idea), but at least they dropped the licensing fee for it so it is free to use. The thing I hated most about 3dfx was there insistence on trying to get support for Glide. As nVidia and ATI became more common though, it was less utilized because developers weren't going to cut out huge parts of the installed base. The fact that many of them (at least up to Voodoo3) never natively supported OpenGL and it had to use the classic MiniGL wrapper was also mind boggling.

I'd vote for change just because it's change. I'm curious how "right wing" the right-wing conservatives really would be. I mean, the Democrats in the USA are considered left-wing, but plant them in Sweden and they'd probably be hardcore conservative fundamentalists. The more left-wing party (excluding the marginal, actual left-wing party the NDP) of Canada is the Liberal Party, but they're still more on the right of the spectrum. I'm betting that the Right-Wing party of Sweden would be seen as almost Communist over in the USA. Maybe not. The problem I find with governments that stay in power too long is that they start to get the feeling that they can do whatever they want and people will still vote for them. Albertans vote rightwing all the time, probably more as a response to the fact that they didn't like the more left-wing federal government. As a result, our provincial government is less accountable IMO, because people are so anti-Liberal that they'll vote conservative regardless. There's little reason (outside of some responsibility that I hope they all have) to listen to the electorate. If a government has been in power for 70 years (or at least a good chunk of it, without a break in recent years), it might be good to vote them out just to let them know that they still need to make sure they hold the country's best interests at heart. I think it's also bad because people seem to have no idea what the other government party will be like. So then they continue to vote the incumbent because it's the enemy they know. The same thing happens here in Canada. There were people that figured things would go to absolute **** if the Conservatives were voted into power. Despite the fact that investigations by the auditor general showed serious misdealings and mismanagement with money in recent years with the previous government (that had been in power from 1993 to 2004), people still thought that things would be so bad with the Conservatives that they'd rather put up with the misuse of public funds. In fact, I think Oerwinde (a guy that was against the Conservatives getting into power) actually made a post on these forums commenting his surprise that things didn't go immediately down the drain when Stephen Harper became Prime Minister. Unfortunately, I think the silly smear campaigns of the Liberals really did an excellent job of painting the Conservatives in a horrible light.

How long as the current government been in power in Sweden?
