I fail to see how this is surprising at all. Pretty much everyone around the world is condemning the attack. Hezbollah is in government together with Lebanese Christian parties, Lebanon has good relations with France... They are probably as disgusted as everyone else, and with literally no reason to not condemn the attack. Hezballah disgusted by terrorism, that's a good one.

Yet he was the first person in the world to separate twins conjoined at the brain. Go figure.

I don't see how the Republican base ever votes for Rubio. Were the odds in favor of Bush at some point?

Piers Morgan: These murderers aren't refugees. Nor are they real Muslims. They're terrorists who've hijacked a religion for nefarious gain. David Burge: ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has a PhD in Islamic theology from Islamic U of Baghdad. What are your credentials?

Well, despite that assertion being a bit comic, ISIS being contained and all (then again that's a decent weasel word). Not sure that ending torture really hurt the cause, not did limiting surveillance. Price of a free country is being open to this kind of attack and all. No, it's the price of stupidity. And Obola not only ended "torture" (which Bush already stopped for the most part, it was only used initially in a few cases), he stopped virtually all interrogation. On another subject, our borders are porous. If they weren't, deported criminals wouldn't be able to return 5,6,7 times. The reason we hadn't had a cross-border terrorist attack is the drug cartels won't allow it, they don't want the border to be closed. It's very amusing how some here try to deny that radical Islam is responsible for the attacks. No one is denying that radical moslems are responsible. People are just saying that not all of the moslems are radicals. I do not know if your media already mentioned it, but the attacks were executed in places, where many foreign nationalities live alongside French people without having any issues. I would say, this was one of the reasons behind the attack, hoping that the people living there start to hate each other... Zoraptor specifically said only those who carried out the attack are responsible for it, and others seem to be concurring. Most people aren't claiming that all Muslims are responsible either. That's like saying the SS soldiers who carried out a particular atrocity are solely responsible, not the whole nazi state.

You're right, I can't find where he actually said this. Apparently those claims come from a faculty letter that was written about him when he was giving a commencement speech and also supposedly that's what Seventh Day Adventists believe. He now says he doesn't know how old the earth is, so it could be 6000 years old! He believes earth was created in six days, and doesn't believe in evolution, in fact he said it was satanically inspired. I think a candidate's ahistorical and unscientific believes, willing to ignore overwhelming evidence to the contrary, is relevant to what kind of president he would be. Having said that, I'd still vote for him over evil Hilzilla. Edit: I once got my registration card stamped "Democrat" because I voted in Democrat primary for Hilzilla trying to stop Obola.

The West Point might be mostly true since people say recruiters do offer scholarships and tell them they'll be admitted for certain if they are accomplished enough, which Carson certainly was. Also in the book where he made the claim he said he only applied to Yale, so he never claimed he was actually admitted to West Point. As far as the stabbing story, his mother confirmed it in 1997, and if that's true the rest of it might be true. As for nutty believes, he also believes earth is 6000 years old, and of course the evergreen a rape victim should be forced to carry the rapist's child for 9 months.

Obola on ISIS: "We Have Contained Them" just today. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2015/11/13/obama_on_isis_we_have_contained_them.html This is the result of ending terrorist interrogations, restricting surveillance, and open borders.

Didn't you hear the DJ cursing at you?

W2 got the combat-loot-upgrade-level up cycle right, that's what makes it so addictive. In POE you go a long time between rewards, and when you do get them they're underwhelming. And yes, fire arms are cooler than magic.

All the DLC are good in different ways, except Lonesome Road is meh.

Apparently it may be in trouble in Congress. The corporate masters don't like the short drug patent expiration for one.

Well, I keep reading that F-35 is a disaster, may be that's the answer.

I would caution that initial news reports usually turn out to be wrong. Also it wouldn't surprise me if IS had captured on of the Syrian government SAMs and smuggled it into Sinai. They would definitely be trying to get back at Russia just about now.

Seems like it was underappreciated, genius design, every level turned it up another notch.

I've been doing OK so far, sometimes game goes away while loading, had one graphics driver stoppage, sometimes it gets very slow and has to be restarted. But with a little patience it's playable.
-
Makes sense since he's no longer either Republican or Democrat, but down the middle where supposedly most of the votes are.
-
Played for a while and haven't seen a problem since I lowered the graphic settings. May be it's been patched simultaneously too, not sure.
-
I had to lower some of the graphical settings, haven't played it enough to see how much it helped.

For a combat character most required combat in now pretty easy, at least in the first city. Presumably it would allow a balanced character to still be able to do some battles and avoid others. I haven't actually tried a balanced character but I'm planning that in my next playthrough. One thing to keep in mind about combat is that you can't necessarily do it in a straight forward way, you have to analyze why you're failing and come up with a strategy, and it requires a decent understanding of the combat system. As far as some of the other criticism I see, yes the game doesn't have emergent gameplay. It's all scripted and relies heavily on text/text adventures, both because Vince likes text and because they have limited resources.

They tried to address those concerns, for example you now get more skill points. How well they've succeeded you'd have to judge for yourself, it's not an easy balance. If only they had more time to balance! I keed I keed. I have been enjoying Dead State, so I'm hoping this is as enjoyable. It's not a time issue, it's conceptual. If you make battles reasonable for a balanced character, they become easy for a full combat build. Not an easy problem to solve. In other news, apparently AOD has been selling very well. They are now able to do the generational space ship RPG that they've been planning, which is excellent news!

As mentioned in another thread, after 11 long years, after many have lost hope, Age of Decadence is finally out! Available on Steam and GoG, where it's featured prominently. If you're not sure, at least try the demo, it's on Steam but I don't see it on GoG, although there's 30 day money back guaranty. Edit: Here's some info for the uninitiated : http://www.irontowerstudio.com/forum/index.php/topic,6890.0.html
