Nah, he's talking about the game that will redefine the way Fallout is played, and make us look back on the classics as if they were 3rd-rate trash, as the story, combat, and AI will revolutionize the entire gaming industry ^_^

I like the way Hearts of Iron 2 does things. Technology is traded as blueprints, rather than the full on tech. So the other side still needs to research it, but he gets large bonuses for his research so it goes pretty fast.

Ender commented on the thread being Napalmed....so I figured I'd quote Mr. Duvall's line in Apoclypse Now.

I love the smell of Napalm in the morning

Birth rates would likely increase immediately after a war though wouldn't they? Well, just going on our baby boom anyways.

That is likely a GOOD thing.

They aren't fighting in a boxing ring.

Errr, I wouldn't say either Holyfield nor Lewis built their legacy by beating the a shadow of a fighter that was once considered the best pound-for-pound boxer in the world. Lewis seemed bored and dis-interested in his fight with Tyson. But I'll admit, I'm not a huge follower of Tyson. Although the few fights I saw of Tyson in his prime, his opponents generally seemed pretty intimidated. Although I did see him fight Buster Douglas. Douglas didn't seem scared and actually used his reach to his advantage. He frustrated "Iron Mike" and let Tyson take care of the rest. His frustration of not just walking over Douglas like every other fighter he fought pissed him off, and he played right into Douglas' gameplan. Because Larry, at almost 40 years old (almost 20 years older than Tyson), and in his "fit" condition during the fight was clearly at his prime. Yet lowly underdog Buster Douglas had no problems jabbing Tyson into a frenzy. But then I guess at the age of 34 Tyson was no longer in his prime (although a 38-39 year old Holmes still was??) Spinks was also a man that didn't even try to defend his title after he won it! He came up from a weight class, got the title and refused to defend it, getting it taken away from it. Clearly a heart of a champion there. At 35 (which is still apparently prime age since he hasn't hit 40 yet), Tony Tucker lost to a Lennox Lewis. What do you mean? Tyson still wasn't as old as Holmes when Tyson beat Holmes. He was still in his prime!

Bruce Lee. Mostly because Tyson is overhyped and the only time he ever really faced "real" boxers...he lost. (or bit their ear off)

Ooo, word must have gotten out or that Gamebanshee dude lurks in these forums. Thanks for the feedback....still a little reserved however

I prefer Close Combat 2: A Bridge Too Far to all of them. But I voted Starcraft...it was good too.

Just started the co-op missions with my roommate in Splinter Cell 3

Mathematically correct, but misleading from the standpoint of precision in writing. In terms of a conclusion in a technical report, "most" isn't strong. Would you fly on an airlines that tells you, "Most of the time, we don't crash."? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Not any less than if the airline report said "We can say with that we don't crash an overwhelmingly majority of the time." Since you're analyzing it so deeply though, when is most no longer "most," but more "overwhelmingly majority" or something else so to speak? Furthermore, what if someone disagrees with your interpretation, or your interpretation isn't as known so someone uses it under a different standing? Is 80% most? 90%? 95%? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> If you really want to know, and not just argue, just get a copy of that report and read the whole thing. I can assure you from the language of the conclusion that the entire report will include discussions with real percentages. The summary, on the other hand, is an attempt to put the report into layman's language. Believe what you want, but in the world of technical writing, "most instances" means a majority and nothing more. It isn't a comforting thing. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Where can I get it?

I'd honestly wonder if this isn't the case, given how fanatical people can be at demanding content, of any kind, as soon as humanly possible. You get people hacking into developers work studios if you don't supply them with the stuff they wanted. I almost see greater outcry for a game delay announcement than I do for a game with bugs.

Most of my theatre was laughing too. I thought it was a little silly personally too.

Most is anything from 50%+1 to 100%-1

He kind of reminds me of Gary Oldman in one of his pictures

Yeah, I'd expect it to be lack of evidence more than anything.

Is the brain cancer actually reputable? I've heard rumors on both sides. And if it does cause brain cancer, is it any more than being blasted with all sorts of telecommunications radiation from the sky via satellite Oh, I don't have a cell phone either

I'm not 100% familiar with them, but you *should* in theory just be able to load them, and the next time you use Bink Video, you should automatically use the new codecs.

It could be an "in most instances" comment since there's always avenues that were not tested. However, that does not mean that those avenues would have more lethality either. Even if you checked 99.999999999% of the methods, you'd still use "in most instances." In most instances, gravity will pull you down :D

Nope. Look at the post that I was responding to: My question was more a jab at why was Iraq invaded when I had heard so much bad news about Syria before Iraq was even invaded.

I wasn't the one that said invading other countries is the action to take.

I would normally predict closure too....but nothing seems to be getting closed at the moment.
