In short, if its not your system - it has to suck, and the population is bound to hate it?

Actually its loads of fun. Probably the best time I've had in my life with my pants on. Great exercise too.

That's a brand of insanity I haven't seen yet.

The point is this: the political system China has now rests squarely in the tradition of the sort of governments seen all over asia. Its strict, conservative with a strong emphasis on work and subordination to authority. Its the product of a specific culture and mindset seen throughout the region. Anyone who thinks Japan and South Korea or any other US client are hugely different is kidding themselves. The difference is in degrees. The real issue is this. China has evolved from a regional power to a world power. The US and EU don't like that for obvious reasons. They are pushing for Chinese reform solely because that would make China more managable and hopefully easier to control. The human rights talk is garbage. If they cared about human rights they would reign in their favorite Saudi Arabian monarchy first. That's a state that thinks dismemberment is a good form of punishment. The story of Chinese masses yearning for US sponsored freedom is a fantasy. The reality is that China, along with Iran and a few other states are the handful of truly independent (from foreign influence) countries left in the world. That marks them as potential enemies in the eyes of the west. Media articles like these serve no other purpose than to undermine Chinese legitimacy, by pointing out government excess. Since the US and EU are prone to the exact same excess, I don't see the point. In fact its laughable, as some people have pointed out.

What happened to the mods in this topic?

From this generation of consoles I know that XBOX360 has been cracked with some sort of drive flashing. As for the last generation, all of them were cracked.

Eventually it will - it always does, when millions of voices demand to be heard. What happens when billions of people don't really care enough to make a fuss though.. Exactly. They can't seem to look at it from any perspective other than their own. At its core is the belief that their values are the best and desired by everyone. Which they're not. There's no "repression and dictatorship" in China. It is China - the only way to organize the coexistence of such a large number of diverse people. The political system there is not something sent from mars - its evolved and adapted from the realities of Chinese life over the post-Mao decades, and I doubt anyone but the extremist minorities and the US/EU funded human rights soldiers and their cohorts is screaming bloody murder over it. I challenge anyone to show me a period in Chinese history when China resembled anything close to a western democracy. Also, considering China's internal problems - decentralization and a sudden shift to democracy would be tantamount to suicide.

Are you OK? Need to discuss anything? I'll be fine. You have to keep in mind that I've seen a fair few deaths and bodies. I've nearly been killed a few times. I know how easy it is to die. Plus of course eventually you die no matter what. Basically, I'm kind of attached to being alive, and hence the problem arises. You should play airsoft with buddies. Its used in several countries by war vets as a tool to recreate their experiences in a non threatening way. The long term effect is fading of the worst memories and replacing them with new ones - the fun of airsoft and barbecue afterwards. It sounds silly but its being actively used and it works.

Yes, it always happens. It was a blessing that in the Infinity engine games you couldn't actually see what your character was wearing. The Witcher did it right. 2 armors in the whole game, and 3-4 swords total.

Damn I have to play this game.

They block firmware updates. Only the PS3 doesn't have a widespread crack, - apparently some Aussies made a USB stick/chip that does crack the PS3.

Extensive mutagen use during his trials to become a Witcher made Geralts hair permanently white and pupils vertical.

There's no feasible way considering the postage and the import tax. Traders here have caught on as well, considering that the price of the PS3 is dropping constantly. The sales are probably horrible. Everyone buys the Xbox360 (because it can be cracked most likely), but I dont see the point of owning it considering everything of worth is ported to the PC. The few exclusives aren't worth my money.

I would have bought it a long time ago if the games werent so obscenely expensive. In Serbia the price is like 55-75 euros, which is insane.

Perhaps its due to my SCART cables. My DVD player always had better playback quality than my PS2. Plus the PS2 doesn't always read everything I pop in it.

I take back everything I said about Dragon Age's art design.

If you're talking about the game breaking sword, I don't see how it could be awesome. I have some vague recollection of charging down and killing some huge robots with it.

Is the PS3's blue ray as bad as the fat PS2's DVD or is it better?

Hello No you don't, its not like Tie Fighter were you need a country sized mousepad. And I recommend the game for everybody, not just for the pretty graphics, the game itself is one of the best games ever done! And you can get FreeSpace 1 for free as an mod for FS2 open, which is great game too! I used to play Wing Commander on both joystick and keyboard and the joystick was much more fun....

I have to play this game. Its one of the space combat sims I missed. But first, I need a joystick.

Sweet man!

Possibly. He's a stubborn fellow. I'm not seeing the robes.
