Wrath of Dagon

No, you shouldn't have - we were the ones who got the collateral damage from that op. You pick your bed and you sleep in it.

I guess by that logic we shouldn't have helped the Soviets against the nazis either.

I thought the screenshots looked great, but there're always the graphics whores.

I don

There is a separate thread for that you guys could revive : http://forums.obsidian.net/index.php?showt...0&start=120 The game uses the latest Torque engine, so the screenshots are probably a pretty good representation of what you'll get in-game.

No it's not, it follows from the idea that all men are equal before God. Just like men are endowed with inalienable rights by their Creator, from Declaration of Independence.

Once again, I'm not ciritcal of Islam, I'm critical of militant Islam. You have no basis whatsoever for saying that. Feudalism doesn't preclude all men being equal before God (the meek will inherit the earth, remember?), that doesn't mean that all men are equal in everything.

How did it influence it exactly? No, not a trick question. Just wondering since "Western Civilisation" was there for a few thousand years before the Bible came knocking so to speak (it has only been around for a measly millennia in large parts of Europe). I could have sworn that Greek and Roman culture was what shaped it. Well, I can't very well recount 3000 years of history in detail to explain. Suffice it to say there are two powerful influences on the Western culture, one being Greco/Roman and the other being the Old Testament. These two merged 2000 years ago to form Christianity and begin the Western culture as we understand it today (I guess strictly speaking it started when Constantin converted). Edit: Btw, being a Mason doesn't contradict being a Christian, in fact most Masons are Christians. Edit2: Just to give one example, probably the most important idea of the Western civilization is that all men are equal before God. That idea originated with Christianity.

A book takes may be 6 months for one person to produce. A game could take years and a team of 100+ in addition to outsourcing. The economics are just completely different.

Someone slept through their history classes. Our laws descend all the way from the Code of Hammurabi. The Bible had a huge influence on the entire Western Civilization. Ideas don't just spring out of nothing. And the idea that all the founders were deists and not Christians is ridiculous.

Apparently there's still an investigation going on: http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100825/pl_nm/...weden_wikileaks

Just goes to show how useless a Liberal Arts education is.

Actually Western law has always been Bible based. I'm not sure what you're talking about in particular, I don't recall that thread that well.

I did see it, I don't recall anything about repealing the Constitution and having a dictatorship of priests. Which denomination did they recommend would take over btw?

Pentagon denied it. This is the story that I've read: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/08/10/a...m_n_677048.html Edit: Here's another article on this, specifically stating that most released documents were not edited: http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8...2010309,00.html

Assange also claimed he contacted the Pentagon about making sure he doesn't release any harmful information, but Pentagon denies the whole thing. I guess it depends on who you believe.

The difference with the movie business is DVD's are cheap enough most people don't bother with used DVD's. With games the price is much higher and the volume is much lower, thus second hand sales hurt a lot more. Basically a developer sees a lot of people enjoying his labor without him seeing a penny in return. Of course it feels like cheating.

Who is Gennady Zyuganov? A big Christian, is he? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gennady_Zyuganov I guess in the post Soviet era he has to be pragmatic, this would never fly in the good old Soviet days. What about the Republican Party's base? False.

Yes, I've never advocated Christian theocracy or any other kind of theocracy. And I don't think it's many that fail to recognize that.

No, everything Islamist is evil, big difference.

Fed Ex also picks stuff up you know. It doesn't really matter if it's fetch, deliver, or kill, the point is it's a stand alone menial assignment which means very little in the context of the rest of the game. I could use "random" but that would be even more confusing, SRPG's don't usually have randomly generated quests, so unless you can come up with a really good term, I'd continue to use either Fed Ex or fetch quest, since most people seem to have an idea of what those are.

Sigh, you have to get past the weasel words to see what he's really saying: Yes, because the Basij thugs beat, shot, and tortured protesters until they gave up. What a great leader he is indeed, so loving of his own people. How magnanimous of him, I'm sure they'll get very far, with the Iranian legal system being so famously independent and impartial. What's that about sentencing a woman to be stoned to death? Can't hear you, sorry. Wow, sounds great. May be we can get something like that going in the US too. Well, of course, everyone knows there's no rule like Islamic rule, Khomeini said so.

Again, you're just getting into definitions of what I mean by Fed Ex vs what you mean by Fed Ex. I already stated what I mean for reference, whether we agree on that or not isn't really relevant to anything, call them random quests if you like or whatever else, so long as you understand what I meant.

Here's the peace loving Rauf supporting Iranian government's brutal crack down after the fraudulent election: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/imam-feisal-...u_b_218249.html

OK, I didn't understand which guard you meant. But you can't claim every time you have to walk somewhere as part of a larger quest it's a Fed Ex quest.
