Well, Canada does have a fair number of silvers as well. It's not like we've only been getting bronze. Still two hockey teams that have excellent chance at Gold too

Yes. The insano skeleton. Yikes I'd never have the nerve to do that.

Just for the record, I am completely indifferent towards fights. EDIT: In other news, looks like my bold prediction of Canada/US womens final was out the window.

That is probably the most acceptable solution. They filter many other words. To be honest, I'm surprised that they don't filter it.

What's the DC on that?

This is the new FPS version right?

I don't think it's a big deal either

I imagine you turn away during big hits as well. I'm surprised you're a hockey fan.

The interesting thing about the 'N' word is that it seems to only be offensive when not used by a black person

Well, for non helicopters there is the hit indicator on the crosshairs that lets you know if you are hitting.

What if those people haven't been given enough time to make the game? Rumor has it, Empire at Wars was also rushed out the doors prematurely, just like Kotor II (or perhaps even more so). That's LA for you... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't heard that rumor. The game was originally slated for a Christmas release, and they delayed it. They intentionally missed the most lucrative time of the year.

The fine line between publisher wanting some feature and publisher forcing some feature? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hehe, good find.

Probably one of those Fire mages that likes leaving the Guardian/Hydra things out and joins your party, sending a TP for you.

Riiight, sure. Perfectly believable. You have gay friends who use the term 'gay' in a negative sense. Maybe in PlanetHomophobe, Alberta there are gays made so completely backward and nutty by virtue of cultural disenfranchisement that they consider their own identity to be a casual pejorative, but living in saner parts of this planet, such wackos are not to be found among gays in or out of the villages, in my experience. I have literally never heard a gay man use 'gay' as a general casual pejorative. And this is not for lack of experience, given my experience in the area is centred on but not limited to several years in Canada's largest gay village. Personally, I think you're just pulling it out of your ass. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Absolutely. I just like to randomly pull stuff out of my behind, just because. After all, if you haven't experienced it, it just isn't possible. You may think I'm pulling it out of my ass. You'd be thinking wrong.

Sooo, what did YOU think of the Empire at War demo :D

A creative way to approach the issue.

What were you shooting the sniper with? In any case, bullets are not hitscan in BF2. You'll only get a hit straight on if your target is not moving. I got pretty good at leading my targets after a while. I can't remember, but you might have to be prone to get perfect accuracy with them though.

Operaton Barbarossa has just commenced. Kampfgruppe Manstein, with support from Von Kluge, Rommel, and Von Blomberg have pushed in up at the Northeast, surrounding and capturing an entire Soviet Regiment. Kampfgruppes Guderian and Rundstedt have broken through in the south with support from Hungary, surrounding Bessarabia and cutting them off. Romanian troops are now pushing to the North in an attempt to eliminate the German divisions. Rundstedt has chased the Soviets into the swamps, and Guderian is attempting to meet up with Manstein on the eastern portions of the swamps, just north of Kiev. However, Guderian has been slowed as Soviet troops try to break through the encirclement south of Kiev. It may be possible for additional Soviet's to get through the blockade prior to the encirclement, but we anticipate heavy Soviet losses regardless. The encirclement will cut them off from supply, and Dornier Do-17s and Stukas continue to inflict heavy strength losses as the Soviets are pushed into the Swamps. The rest of the armies in central Poland will then push east, and rendezvous with Manstein and Guderian on the Eastern edge. Rommel and Von Kluge will attempt to defend the Northern flank near Riga, with support from Von Braustich. Concurrently, simultaneous offensives are being conducted in Sweden and Turkey. Sweden for its metals, as well as the possibility of creating a greater Scandianvian puppet to help protect my northern flanks, particularly the fjords in Norway. Turkey is being attacked to gain access to the Black Sea. As Italian conquests were quite effective, my ability to deploy ships in the mediterranian is limited, coming only from conquered Spain. On the plus side, the only threat left in the Mediterranian is Malta, which was effectively cut off when Italy was able to capture the Suez Canal. Blockades there and at Gibralter have effectively made the Mediterranian Allies free. Only Italy, Syria (who recently staged a coup in Iraq), Myself, and Vichy France have appropriate ports given the inevitable fall of Turkey.

Wow, one little aspect and suddenly Arcanum was not a game that they wanted to make.

How was Rome's combat dumbed down???

Appeal to her nationalism. Comment about how her country is very involved with world affairs, and understanding outside world affairs is important when making decisions about electing governments spend HER tax dollars, to take part in these world affairs.

Heh, it was that much of a game breaker?

I don't think use of the term "gay" indicates homophobia. I have homosexual friends that say it in the same context of "that sucks" as well. I think the word is so over used that it's essentially lost all meaning...but that's just me.

Coming from the guy that, in previous discussions would accuse people of lying just because they used hyperbole.

I'd rather they work on making an interesting game than horses. I never understood why they are in such demand. I guess because they add a bit of flavour...but IMO that's all they add.
