    That's what happens, you start out with the innocent sounding Commerce Clause and you wind up with Chairman Obama.

    You get significant bonuses when your reputation changes from neutral, that's why it takes so long. Don't remember it being at the end of Chapter 2 though, for me it was closer to beginning/middle.

    Women did make a tremendous contribution in Medieval times, and if this was a weaving or a cooking simulator (or even a Countess or Queen simulator), I'd be all for including a woman as a PC. But as far as actually being involved in combat, that was an extraordinary event, and would have to be explained in game how it came to be (something most people really don't care about, I mean you could make a game about a woman warrior, but it's not this game, nor am I convinced such a game would garner much support, except from those trying to make an ideological point.)

    Why can't you play as Black or Chinese? There were plenty of examples in history of Blacks and Chinese in Medieval Europe. Clearly not having an option to play them is racist.

    The most corrupt Olympic games in history : http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/threats-sochi-olympics-whistleblower-drowned-blood/story?id=22270000 "you will be drowned in blood" Unfortunately we ourselves are quickly approaching a similarly corrupt one party state (I say that having lived in both countries).

    Already raised more than half. May be they'll get their whole budget.

    New Call of Cthulhu game announced: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/01/17/call-of-cthulhu-videogame-call-of-cthulhu-the-videogame/ Really hope it's not just a point-and-click, though all indications so far are that it is. Edit: Also, new demo of Histwar (Napoleonic war simulation) is available, much prettier than the old one : http://www.histwar.com/game/demo.html

    Tried the The Whispered World, cool game and very funny, but are the puzzles opaque! Need to get some more playtime with CM: Battle for Normandy before the Eastern Front version comes out.

    I've just been going on about how great Mars: War Logs is. It's on the 360 for $10. Try the demo first though.

    The difference is in the West you're free to dig up information to the contrary, in the Soviet Union that would make you an enemy of the state. You seem to habitually miss the distinction.
  11. Wrath of Dagon
    There's only one ending. By ending I meant what you're told in the epilogue.
  12. Wrath of Dagon
    Finished Mars: War Logs. What a great game! The best I've played in a long time. Really has everything an RPG should have. Too bad it got such mixed reviews, almost missed it and probably a lot of other people did too. My only serious complaints are that enemies respawn in some areas in part 2, so some times you have to do the same fight both coming and going, and it might turn out for nothing. And part 3 is too combat heavy, but combat is pretty fun, so that's not so bad. Not sure I made optimal decisions, my ending didn't turn out too well, I may have been too kind.

    Philosophically it's probably a pointless discussion, you may be living in a society where nothing is considered to be owned, who's to say they're wrong? Legally it's a different question. For example in US you legally have a copy right for 75 years, but after that you arbitrarily lose it (or would, if it wasn't for Mickey Mouse).

    You can't make this stuff up : http://blogs.news.com.au/heraldsun/andrewbolt/index.php/heraldsun/comments/somethings_cracking_and_its_not_the_ice_around_the_warmists_ship/#.UsOUhnAuxZ8.facebook

    Just bought Mars: War Logs. Played the demo and thought it was really good.

    Shouldn't we be blaming the STG44?
  18. Wrath of Dagon
    Heh, I forgot about that. Well, financial liability, not so much criminal.

    Saw this link on RPS, about trying to get Kingdom Come financed http://www.warhorsestudios.cz/index.php?page=blog&entry=blog_031&lang=en To me it's a great idea, I've wanted a historical RPG forever, although as someone said to them it probably wouldn't do well in America, since no one cares about history. They should start by coming up with a better name though.

    I was talking about justice for individuals, I agree with you justice for countries is a bit nonsensical, everyone's done plenty of wrong in the past, the further back you look the worse it gets. Burning churches and slaughtering people, attacking schools and throwing acid into girls' faces, yes, totally the same situation. Yes, Soviet Union would have never invaded Afghanistan, Bin Laden would have never gone to fight there and become a Jihadist, Iraq would have never invaded Kuwait causing US to send troops to Saudi Arabia, causing Bin Laden in turn to declare war on the US. But then I keep forgetting, everything is the fault of the Jews.
  21. Wrath of Dagon
    @Wals I don't advocate revenge, only the right to self defense and justice. First, Palestine didn't belong to anyone before establishment of Israel, there was no Arab state there for hundreds of years. There was no ethnic cleansing, there was a brutal civil war with Jews fleeing from Arabs and Arabs fleeing from Jews. There was no cleansing afterwards, that's just a lie. Israel isn't just going to pick up and go away, any more than Americans or Australians or the blacks in South Africa for that matter. And so long as it exists, it has the right to self-defense, just like any other nation. Edit: I've posted this before, but it's an interesting article : http://www.historynet.com/lashing-back-israel-1947-1948-civil-war.htm
  22. Wrath of Dagon
    So does that make the invasion, occupation and ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestine moral? What is your point? Yeah, Christians are having an increasingly hard time down in the Middle East right now. After the whole age of colonialism, Cold War meddling and support of unpopular dictators, the recent wars and US enthusiastic support for Israeli war crimes, they are increasingly starting to think that Christians are the source of all evil. You can forgive them a bit for thinking so when you consider it must seem that way from their perspective. If only all Arabs could go to trips to the US, they would learn that American Christians do not sit all day and plot which countries to bomb next and do high-fives when they hear the Israeli army has shot another child. In fact most American Christians are probably 100% oblivious both about which ME dictators the CIA supported during which years, how many civilians have been killed in Iraq and Afghanistan and about the situation in Israel. So it would be deeply unfair to characterize them as evil in any way. So now you're justifying the persecution of Arab Christians by Arab Muslims by blaming it on Israel and the US? Truly you've sunk to a new low. Check out what they're are doing, since you're so into righteous indignation, it's a thousand times worse than anything Israel does to Palestinians, which is all done in self defense btw.
  23. Wrath of Dagon
    I would note that a lot of your accusations come from Palestinian sources, not objective sources. Edit: Also I was talking about Arab Israelis having equal rights, you conveniently switched the subject to Palestinians who are not citizens, whether you think they should be citizens is irrelevant. Well. At least you're not stuck in a refugee camp, having lost all your land and possessions because religious fanatics have claimed your country as their holy land and driven you out. Think about it. Things could be worse. You could have been born a Palestinian! They're stuck in refugee camps because their brother Arabs won't lift a finger to help them, so that they can use them as a political issue. As far as being forced off their land, no one forced Arabs to attack Israel as soon as it was founded, if they didn't they'd all still be where they were. And it's not like the Palestinians wouldn't have driven the Jews into the sea if they could, in fact they've always said so.
  24. Wrath of Dagon
    They should go ahead and build nuclear weapons, we'll see how much China will like that.
  25. Wrath of Dagon
    My point was that "Messianic Jews" aren't really Jews, and shouldn't call themselves such. It's a minor point, as you said yourself.
