So are you saying Sweden isn't socialist enought for you? Do you actually have an alternative system that's been shown historically to work? When even the Chinese and Russian communists accept that capitalism is the only way forward, you've got to start questioning your assumptions.

He said "and in Latvia"

That's really hilarious in light of this statement: Those statements don't actually contradict each other at all, and you know it. I didn't say they contradict each other, I meant it's hilarious that you're calling others "apologists".

That's really hilarious in light of this statement:

In my browser, some of it is black and some of it is white. I have the same problem, just highlight it with your cursor.

Btw, may be this was already posted, but should be in this thread: http://dragonage.gulbsoft.org/doku.php/ and this specifically http://dragonage.gulbsoft.org/doku.php/ai#...acter_behaviors

It is viable for a rogue to use both a bow and a dagger?

It's so great they never have layoffs in a communist country. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091113/ap_on_..._famine_diaries

This is pretty funny, from RockPaperShotgun, why boycotts don't work: http://img5.imageshack.us/img5/6062/1258035395841.jpg

It's on the internet, so it must be true.

With checkpoints I prefer health regen, because I really hate it when I run out of health and have to restart a checkpoint or get a checkpoint right when I have no health and a mob spawns right in front of me. If it's save any time, I prefer health packs, so that if I use up too much health (or ammo) in an encounter I reload and do it right. Of course I hate checkpoints to start with. Then there's the original Brothers In Arms, which had no health recovery or checkpoints until you finish the level segment, which worked great but the game was specifically designed for that.

Yeah, and that's just in one quarter.

Health regen works pretty well in Wolfenstein. They just give you less health to compensate.

Needs more blood

The devious trick they've figured out is that if you want to play multiplier with your friends you all have to get the same game. All the kids are playing it right now.

Sweatshops exist in third world countries because of poverty. They're still a hell of a lot better than being out on the street with nothing to eat. I don't think lay offs from sweatshops is what we're talking about here.

To take EA as an example, they're laying off people because they've cancelled 15 games. Would EA be forced under your system to continue making those games? Or would they just have to keep paying those people for doing nothing? Layoffs are a necessary evil in capitalism because it removes people from jobs where they're not needed and forces them to find jobs where they are needed. Failure is painful but necessary to maintain market discipline, that's the only reason capitalism works at all. Also you're grossly exagerrating with your "worked to death". Employees are not slaves, if conditions are bad in one company they're free to find another job, plus there are worker protections in the law, plus everyone knows mistreating your employees is not a way to be successful.

If you're going to tell everyone how to run their business, just have the government take it over and be done with it.

They're also cancelling all the risky projects, and are going to just try exploiting their big franchises year after year. No more Mr Nice Guy, back to trying to out-evil Activision. http://www.gamebanshee.com/news/95724-elec...n-projects.html

Can you get a social disease from that?

Companies lay off while purchasing other companies all the time. One is operational expenses, the other a capital investment. Similarly, money they spend to buy other companies isn't considered an expense, thus doesn't contribute to a loss, the interest on the loan would be an expense though. Don't know what all that GAAP nonsense means.

EA's losses are huge, they're bleeding money. A company is not a charity, it's there to make money for the shareholders, nothing else. I bet those of you complaining the most wouldn't like to spend your own money to employ someone you don't need, but then again you're probably producing nothing but internet rants. Also life isn't fair, no one owes you anything, including a job, waah, waah!

Seems pretty insane to me. Common market is a good idea though. Central governments should be smaller, less powerful, and more representative, not the other way around.

I never said it was a great shooter, but it's decent enough, and the magic powers and squad controls make it more fun also.

How's ME not a shooter? ME had "pause and issue commands"-schtick to begin with. And so what? You still aim and shoot in real time as usual.
