I never said you were demonstrating Nationalism. You seem to be confusing Nation with State. Nationalism does not require a country though. Just because you haven't played the game, doesn't make it crap either. Just means that you haven't played the game. I find it odd how you can pass judgement on a game without playing it.

Nah, looks to me like he already owned it

Meh, excitement doesn't have to come with people blowing each other up, or other "bleeds and leads" news headlines.

Hehe, that's a horrible movie. I remember laughing at it when I was a kid!

Same reason why Vampires suck on our blood for the hemoglobin?

He was teh r0x0r in that movie "Labyrinth"

It's all of them in one sweet package: Fallout 1, Fallout 2 and Fallout Tactics <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Ah, I suppose that's ok then. After all, regardless of the prices, it's still "Buy Fallout and Fallout 2, get Fallout Tactics free!"

Like the wierd speaking!

Nationalism does not require countries.

Maxis was acquired by Electronic Arts in 1997. The Sims was released in February 2000, and the first previews are early 1999. The Sims did not exist prior to Electronic Arts' acquiring the company, so saying "the fact that EA didn't come in until after the Sims series started" is wrong. They named many. Simply because you don't think they're great games doesn't make them not great games.

Ah, that explains it. I'm still in December in my season.

I'm interested in Empire at War. Doubly so when they stated that they were going to delay it past the Christmas rush and release it in February to ensure quality. I guess we'll see.

What's that Fallout Tactics in the background??

Was that a Simmed season? I can't score very well with my defensemen at all. Bergeron has 2, Pronger has 1, as does someone else. That's after 20 or so games too. They have a lot of assists from deflections and whatnot though.

Well, I created myself I'm rated 80, and a playmaker. I'm not overly fast or anything, but I have a decent Hero Rating and am a good passer. Smyth-Me-Dvorak Torres-Peca-Hemsky Moreau-Reasoner-Horcoff Salmeliman-Stoll-Pisani Pronger-Bergeron Smith-Staios Ulanov-Semenov I still have Cross, but haven't been looking to shop him around too much. It might be something that happens towards the trade deadline.

Hehe, Crosby is living on the second floor of Lemieux's mansion, and I guess has become friends with the oldest son by playing hockey in the driveway :D

A huge amount of Ubisoft's games are made at Ubisoft Montreal. That place is freakin' huge!

Except it's gone way beyond that.

Hahaha, you're right. Hmmm, he has a stunning resemblance to the Gman IMO!

And Drakon takes the bait!

Then you need to re-read the article. I pat on the back the likes of Deus Ex and Bloodlines. The, IMO, successful merging of 2 genres. Moving forward with technology is great. But deluting the CRPG so it more resembles a twitch game isnt what I consider 'evolving' or moving forward on a positive note. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> What constitutes the successful merging of two genres? Many people swear that Deus Ex is NOT an RPG for example, but just an FPS that has some RPG elements. And how is Deus Ex and Bloodlines not part of the dilution problem? Both games are both much more twitch based than many other RPG games. Or is it just a case of "I like these two games, so I'll consider them appropriate achievements because I've declared myself some sort of authority and what is or is not an acceptable merging of genres." Ironically, first person perspective in RPGs is older than the FPS genre itself.

Hmmmm....to be honest I can't remember. I think they still have the "Militaristic, Expansionist" etc. traits between nations.

The revolution will not be televised!

You'd think he was a University student or something

Apparently the Oiler's camp went off really well, with MacTavish stating he's confident in his top 3 lines as well as his top 2 defensive pairings. Says he likes the chemistry so far, and the guys are having fun and getting along well.
