If that's the case, why do you own consoles in the first place? /:|

Nay, Tale did us all a great service. Increase the peace.

With all due respect, the very last source of information I would seek regarding the efficacy and value of the free market is a libertarian. That'd be like consulting Fidel Castro while researching the value of socialism. They both place high rhetoric over history when it comes to their respective idealpolitiks. I get mighty suspicious when I see the 30+ countries with better healthcare than America and I'm told that what works there cannot work here, or even that being worse is preferable, because the taxes aren't justifiable or whatever it is that people want to argue. It's a poor excuse, and the industry of medicine should be concerned with healthcare over profits, and the only way to make that work is to take the onus of care away from entrepeneurs and businessmen and into the hands of the people who should be benefiting, the taxpayer. I would much rather have a European socialist (yes, I said it, don't have an aneurysm) system with a weak capitalist safety net than an American capitalist system with a weak socialist safety net. That isn't to say that I've completely discounted the idea of capitalism as a solution to the crisis, I just don't see it as acceptable. Making medicine for-profit would leave the healthcare situation largely as it is, since there's really no reason to treat people who can't pay (ie the 40 million Americans without insurance) short of some kind of government-provided incentive, and I actually think that everyone has a right to healthcare regardless of their financial situation, and that just doesn't jibe with rugged individualism or whatever it is they're renaming social darwinism these days.

Much as I detest Moore's previous polemics, there isn't a lot of room for him to overstep his bounds here. No foreigner, no matter how conservative, would wish to switch their health system with ours, because ours really, really ****ing sucks. Free market medicine just doesn't work.

Sid Meier really, really needs to get off his ass and make Alpha Centauri 2. Seriously, now.

This got me through high school. Ah, to be young again. Also, Levi just dropped me a line on the RAWBERRY **** YOU BALTIMORE I want one And last but not least, the infamous . Imagine watching Dr. Who at 8:30 and seeing this in the middle of it all.

there's a petition out to persuade Bethesda to release the full Fallout 1 design docs. I signed it, but I expect it to do about as much good as most petitions.

It's about 12 hours long. 24 in-game hours, each taking about half an hour to complete. There's another 8 on top of that to finish the game.

PS3 and 360. If the rumors are true, the 360 version will be the optimal one, considering the amount of money ($50 mil) Microsoft put into exclusive content deals. Not sure about PC, but given the series' history it's a safe bet it'll come out eventually.

I tried the monk type. I never get too with him. The difficult part was that you had to be a journeyman in h2h before you started doing damage with your fists to things that require magic weapons, thus up until about 8th level I was using a blunt weapon I wasn't that great with. In Morrowind, you always had that ability by default. It was fun to go out and get into fistfights with ghosts. Just reinstalled BG2, installed all the mods I had - Fixpack and the problem seems to have been eliminated.

Nothing, I've been personally using today. That and I feel like trolling.

Why yes, I was looking for an excuse to use that. And Kor, I'd would say that I wish the same happened here, but in BC no one ever gets caught for holding. :D Indeed.

Glad to contribute.

Has anyone here actually finished this game? Yeah. Monk-type, didn't dally on most of the sidequests, finished the game at level 9 easily, what with the scaling system. Apparently the forces of Hell could only spare weak scamps to stop me from foiling their plans.

No ****? I get that same feeling anytime the US announces anything to do with South America. And China's got its fingers in a lot of pies in Sudan. What's that ambassador's name, uncensored? ****? ****? ****?

Chris Benoit is a murderer. A MURDERER I SAY

It's Transformers the way Mad Train is fine wine.

If they had instituted a construction queue like in later games, Civ 2 would have been the best. It also had the best soundtrack of the Civ games.

Tactics gets a bad rap amongst the Fallout faithful. It's not a bad game, it just lacks the humor of the other Fallout games, and obviously, the roleplaying. Aside from the design of some of the energy weapons it also largely lacks the retrofuture aspects of Fallout. As a whole the game has more of a Mad Max air to it than anything else, to a greater degree than the other games. It's really oppressively dark. But it's not a bad tactical combat game by any stretch of the imagination.

Arm Joe. Street Fighter + Les Miserable = the most thrillingly bizarre, stupefyingly awesome game ever made.

If you thought deathclaws were difficult in comparison to the previous enemies, you're going to be pissed. Anywho, I'm playing BG2 and no matter what I do I can't seem to eliminate the memory leak in the Windspear Hills dungeon. I may have to reinstall the game.

Oh yeah? Wait for the mission after next.

Me too. So which mod to choose? UB or Fixpack? Tick tock.

WTF.
