Well yes, playing as the marine was intense, I just don't recall Frosty as having much of a personality at all.

Exactly.

...Then all is good.

So you're saying you want to be the gay Sheppy with no scars? Where's your spartan spirit?

Cool I'll just import my thug from ME1. Ugly as sin he is.

Yes, user and password pls.

That's idiocy, you have to do that sort of thing for games like Thief, System Shock in other words for old stuff. To have to kill one of your CPU's to play the game as it should be played is aaaaarghh. Bioware needs to get a patch out asap. Btw why are you playing as the default Sheppy?

What do you people think of Relics upcoming Warhammer 40K: Space Marine. http://www.spacemarine.com/#/en/trailers/ Advertised as an action RPG, release date TBA. Some in engine shots in the trailer, doesn't look bad. I don't know what to think. On one hand Relic is quality incarnate, on the other RTS's are their game - not this. Also, its been confirmed for some time - they own the rights to Homeworld again. Something might be up with that since they have only 2 games announced at the moment, the Dawn of War II expansion (finished) and Space Marine. I presume that another full game will be announced soon.

I did once upon a time. The entire series is one of very good games.

Nice, I recall some cool subtle touches like weather changes and lights on units... Not to mention the sandworms. Just found out is not very playable on widescreen.... Dang.

What was the deal with Westwood's Emperor: Battle for Dune. The reviews are good, but if I recall correctly the game didn't exactly leave a mark?

Mhm, knock yourself out.

You were saying something about me and BGII?

I don't see the point of discussing money we're never gonna see. We might as well talk about Hefner's mansion, or Lamborghini's latest car.

Same as the first one, or a little more.

Starcraft. Recommended by South Korea.

At least the last has been fixed in a satisfying manner with the last patch.

Well my Sheppy is hideous, I don't think I'm losing out.

Dunno how you connected CD Projekt to this, its not as though the Witcher is based on a well known piece of literature.

Amen. I'm still surprised how the gaming industry has managed to convince the public that its alright to chop up your game prior to release and sell the parts for an additional fee. And also to convince people that one piece of equipment, skin or whatever is in any way relevant to the gaming experience. I mean people are actually foaming at the mouth over the DLC sh!t.

Now all thats left to do is supply me with your username and password.

nuff said. Btw if you can't wake up in a gutter with some of your credits missing its no good. You have to work with what you've got. You should be able to wake up in one of those toilets with you head in the bowl. Well Sheppy has some nice babes to hold his head when he's puking at least.

They were obviously influenced by it. We're not talking about general literature or movies here, we're talking about games which quite happily and freely take concepts from each other. Please don't shake my belief that every Bio character from KOTOR onwards is a whiny b!tch because they're trying to do as deep characters as Torment had. The alternative, that they're just too inept to come up with a way to make characters interesting that doesn't include a tragic past would be, well, tragic. nuff said. Btw if you can't wake up in a gutter with some of your credits missing its no good.

The problem is, there were never millions at stake. Except apparently in Rwanda, but I'll get to that later. To me the problems clearly outweigh the benefits, and not just on a theoretical level, but on a practical one. Eg. Saddam was a typical dictatorial leader. His primary occupation was staying in power. To this end he favored his Sunni muslims and oppressed the Shia and the Kurds. Several thousand people died during his rule because of the way he handled this. I'm reffering to his oppresion of the Shia and Kurds, in retaliation for their uprisings. Uprisings, I might add encouraged by the US. The wars he involved Iraq in are another matter, because they have complex backgrounds. Through oppression he held the volatile nature of Iraq in check. He was good at it, because he knew the people he was ruling, and was pretty much a product of that part of the world. If he wasn't capable he wouldn't have ruled Iraq for more than two decades. Then he was removed. Whatever numbers you favor, the civillian casualties that were the result of the chaos that followed the invasion make Saddam's crimes pale in comparison. My basic logic is this. If I, as a mere student of politics could forsee that once Saddam was gone all hell was going to break loose, its idiotic not to assume that top people in the Pentagon didn't know it as well. They knew it, yet they decided to go through with it. That would mean they simply didn't care, because if they did the most logical course of action would have been to let Saddam fall on his own. Saddam's fall was a matter of time, and it might have been the opportunity for a peaceful change of regime. The image the media wants you to believe prior to an intervention is that you're preventing another holocaust. Thus, anything you do can't be as bad as what's already happening. This had no grounding in facts, anywhere in the world except Rwanda. Rwanda is the only proven modern genocide, where in the space of 3 months about a million people were killed. Rwanda aside, the interventions in the Balkans, i Iraq etc did nothing but add more fuel to the fire, and made the final solution much more distant.
