Wrath of Dagon

You do "turn pages" on a Kindle, it tries to emulate a book as much as possible.

I thought it was OK for a change of pace, and the stuff after it got better. I especially liked the Flood vs Covenant vs MC stuff.

Yes, they are going to change the art assets and also make it higher res obviously. It's perfectly reasonable because it looks terrible compared to modern games, and visual appeal is important for a shooter. Definitely seems worthwhile to me since I'd still rather play that game than any of the sequels, although the last two were also pretty good.

Hezbollah didn't take over Lebanon, its ethno-religious based constitution (which enshrines over representatioon of Christians and under representation of both major Muslim sects) makes it impossible for them to do so short of military coup which would restart the civil war. They simply got enough people to agree with them- primarily, iirc, General Aoun's Christians- to get 'their' US educated, Sunni, candidate into the Prime Ministership exactly (well, 'exactly') as would happen in any other democracy. Israel would be right to 'worry' about Lebanon getting AT missiles anyway, and not just because of Hezbollah destroying tanks live on TV in 2006. If there's one thing nearly everyone in Lebanon can agree on, from their former buddies in the Phalange to itty bitty players like the Druze and Alawites it's that no-one likes Israel. You totally misunderstand the situation. Hezbollah gets to say who's appointed prime minister, because they have all the guns. Aoun has been their and Syria's ally for a long time. It was actually the bitty Druze players who swung the parliament to Hezbollah because their leader, Jumblatt, doesn't want a bullet in his head. Jumblatt used to be very anti-Syrian, but people in that part of the world tend to be very sensitive to which way the wind is blowing. Their popular prime minister, Harriri, got assassinated by Hezbollah just like in any other democracy. It's because Hezbollah wants to disrupt the UN investigation of his assassination that they made his son's government fall. Also Lebanon isn't as hostile to Israel as you portray. That's all driven by Hezbollah, a creature of Iran, Lebanon wouldn't dream of fighting Israel if it wasn't for them.

@Calax That's the worst you can do? You didn't even understand the article. All he's saying is that Israel is concerned about the sale. Quite justifiably too, since Hezbollah just took over Lebanon. No where is there indication of any anti-Muslim feeling on his part, which I thought is what you were trying to prove.

Halo 1 being remade for November. Great news, I love that game.

He's not attacking Islam or anything related to Islam, he's attacking people who happen to be Muslims, not because they're Muslims, but because of what they say and do. Since his specialization is Jihadist terrorists, it would be kind of hard to ignore anyone who happens to be a Muslim. Edit: Give me a specific quote that you find objectionable.

No, I just won't accept any views of somebody who is pointedly anti-islam. None of the people I mentioned are anti-Islam so far as I know. They're all anti fundamentalist islamists, with good reason. Of course to a leftist there's no distinction, so forget it.

You don't have to trust him, translate the Arabic using Google translate (it does handle it) and see for youself, if you find it was wrong we can discuss that. I could cite other terrorism experts, like Stephen Emerson and Andrew C McCarthy, but of course you won't accept the views of anyone who's not on the left, so we're at an impasse there. Edit: Just watched your so-called expert, he claims MB reformed itself in the 60's, when in fact they assassinated Sadat in 1981 and Zawahiri didn't break with them until much later.

So you're such an expert that you know that those connections aren't there? If you don't trust his translation, run it through Google translate, I assume it can handle Arabic. As far as not checking him out, I'm familiar with his work, I know he doesn't have the credibility of having been on the Colbert report, but we'll just have to live with that.

So because he's Israeli, his view is skewed? May be it's your view that's skewed. In any case, unless you're disputing that he posted a factual document, you have no argument. Edit: I don't see the reference to Rubin on the page you linked. Lots of good info about Egypt on that site btw.

Do you expect me to link to an Iranian government website exposing Islamism? And I'm not aware of that site being Israeli, but if you researched it, may be so. Anyway, he gives the text in Arabic and an English translation, so keep your ad hominem arguments to yourself.

Demo on 2/22. I admit I'm curious to see how that turned out. http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/23462/Dragon...-February-22nd/

And this is different from IW how?

Anything that's not human needs better AI, and I'm not even sure about those. People forget that it's a game, and thus will always have certain limitations.

I posted a link in this thread where the leader of Egyptian MB call for a Jihad against the US. Of course to you that's a good thing. Enoch posted a document which exactly explains the Islamist philosophy, which I quoted from, but I guess to you that's no proof either. It's useless for me to argue with you because we don't have a single point of moral reference in common.

A fascist is still a fascist no matter what he calls himself.

Another big advantage is that all the stuff before 1920 or so is out of copyright. So if you can find it online (like project Gutenberg) you can read it on the Kindle for free, without needing a computer. Amazon maintains their own library of free stuff as well.

They're working on it though. Anyway, Turkey is a lot more West oriented and has an actual democratic/secular tradition not to mention a better economy than Egypt, so direct comparisons are difficult.

I haven't really used mine yet, but I think navigation would actually be easier than a paper book. Like you can go read a footnote without losing your place in the main text.

Also the Kindle give your features which you just can't get from a regular book. Like you can look up any word in the dictionary, or more important for me resize the text to a comfortable size. Vs Ipad it's probably easier on the eyes for reading, a lot cheaper, has a battery that's super long lasting, and most importantly fits in your pocket.

Personally I live my life according to the Necronomicon.

Communism doesn't require a government, everyone would voluntarily do what's best for society. Decisions made based on science doesn't really conflict with communism, it's pretty much a given. The overthrow, "dictatorship of the proletariat", re-education etc are conditions leading to communism, not communism itself.

Mubarak confirmed he won't run for re-election. Here's an interesting article, mostly about the history of Iranian revolution: http://news.yahoo.com/s/dailybeast/12180_e...G93dGhldXN3aWxs
