Tale

I was reading that and while it presents and origin of the term it does not present how it came to extend from "people of Caucasus" to "white people." It's still regularly used in the US, which is ironic, as Anglo American and European American is often more fitting. Edit 1: But then again, I guess Europe has a rather awkward racial history. Nazi Germany pursuing the perfect Indo-Iranian being an example that still confounds me. And I have no clue how that relates to blonde hair/blue eyes. No clue at all. Edit 2: Apparently they believed Nords were the earliest Aryans. But... y'know, this is confusing.

I've always kind of wondered, and today I wonder with renewed interest, why are white people called Caucasian? Caucasus is practically in the middle east. Are we all supposedly Russian? What's up with that?

Would you expect the national chiropractor's association to comment on how bad he is, instead? Seems a bit outside their sphere.

Sweet. Steam has Bioshock available for pre-purchase and it has the PC system requirements. I exceed the minimum!

Tinker?

I scoff at technical problems! SCOFF! What I need to know is how well does the game support the sneaking lying murdering backstabbing jerk style of gameplay?

That thing you linked sounds like they want it to be easier for new players to access as well as quicker to start a game. Sounds like reasonable goals. It's not like 3.5e is going to stop existing with the new edition.

Perfect score doesn't mean "perfect game." It just means "perfect enough." Like Milla Jovovich.

Project: Snowblind was a Deus Ex multiplayer only sequel that dropped the Deus Ex connections after fan protest. hah

Whatever happened to action-RPG FPS games, anyway? The popularity of System Shock and Deus Ex should have yielded a slew of imitators that last to today. But the last one (and only that I know of, not counting its predescessor) we got was Vampire: The Masquerade: Bloodlines. The Deus Ex sequel dropped the RPG elements, and I'd bet Bioshock has too.

There's a massive community waiting in the wings for a good sci-fi MMO. What are you talking about? All the old SWG players, Planetside players, EVE players who want something with an actual character.

MMORPG market isn't particularly flooded. Unless you're including the Korean ones.

The discussion on the other sites (one I linked, anotehr I found through that link) seem to have a consensus that it's commercial ammo.

Graybar Hotel is apparently a slang way of saying "prison." It's a place you stay that has gray bars.

She didn't say they were shot, just that they hit. Someone threw the bullets, duh. Jesus, people!

Wasn't their stock delisted, anyway?

What good is loot going to be whilst I'm being digested?

I'm pretty sure this topic started with Sweden. Why don't we get back to insulting them in regards to immigration?

Not all Texans have an accent. Sure, everyone I know does, but I don't!

Why can't you be a 20something beautiful woman living in Texas?

Here's a statement I'd really like to take on. How do you know "the game they want to make" is not a Starcraft sequal that appeals heavily to the long term and hardcore fans? The phrase "game they want to make" is a very personal term. Just because they put some ideas out there they think sound neat doesn't mean they're essential elements to it being what they want to make. I think making changes based on community feedback is a greater indicator of what they want to make than simply what they have already made. They want to make a game for the community members they are listening to. Issues of vocal minority included because that's a well known factor all over the internet. Maybe the problem is that they're not quite making a game you want them to make. Perhaps you're wanting a Starcraft sequel that is artistically driven in its design.

Is there a place with a list of these changes?

Yeah, well fission is a source of power too, but you don't see me waltzing around in a reactor for enjoyment.
