  1. Michael Douglas would make a good Tony Stark
  2. Genocidal maniac? Don't get me wrong. I love and participate in good hyperbole and melodrama to spice up forum chatter. But that is a stretch. Let's see, Trump has been in office for five months now. He has ordered one cruise missile strike that killed 15 people according to Syria. The LA Times thinks is was more like 4 but whatever. Of course the attack was in response to a chemical weapons attack that killed over 70 including children in a US backed rebel group. Not that it was any better than the others but whatever. By July 4 2009 Barack Obama ordered drone strikes that killed over 241 in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Yemen (who we were not even at war with at the time. Of course we were not at war with Syria, Iraq, & Afghanistan either). 241 including non-combatants because air delivered ordinance does not know the difference. And he won a Nobel Peace Prize four months later! But Hitler and Arafat both had those in their trophy cases too so that does not mean much. By the end of 2016 the Obama Admin would order strikes that killed almost 4k people. Just to compare, in the first six months the body count of George W Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush, Ronald Regan, and Jimmy Carter was 0. He is a buffoon and a fool no doubt. But genocidal maniac? Not even CLOSE! Obama came a lot closer. You liked him didn't you? But it's still early. Almost forgot, my source material: https://www.thebureauinvestigates.com/projects/drone-war And he dropped MOBA IIRC Trump WOULD be a LoL player.
  3. Project Manager is basically acting like Hudson in Aliens. Going to give me vicarious stroke.
  4. Will have a new sarcophagus this year, hopefully - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chernobyl_New_Safe_Confinement But yeah, I would hope people would know that the reactors were decommissioned by 2000 (to be honest, I am surprised the other ones were kept running after the #4 reactor exploded, who'd want to work anywhere near that thing).
  5. The challenge rifts sound interesting. Play with someone else's build
  6. Stuck on a mission in Deserts of Kharak as there's a phantom unit I can't attack blocking the mission completion. Somewhat annoying that bug has persisted this long. Gearbox quality
  7. Good luck with that, LC. Of course you will never truly be Korean unless you can master Brood War. Another day with everyone freaking out at work. Not even sure if there is a problem or just people flipping out. I miss days when 90% of them work from home.
  8. Can't even be sure if they are serious about that.
  9. Michael Nyqvist dead http://variety.com/2017/film/news/michael-nyqvist-dead-dies-girl-with-the-dragon-tattoo-1202479889/
  10. Glad I read all of the EU stuff via the library. All went downhill after Zahn's initial books. Course now I actually buy 40k novels so..
  11. I trust corporations more than any government because the fear of liability is an excellent check on their behavior. One the government does not have. State is a much better opponent than one person to stick it to a corporation though.
  12. Because not only Sabaton can do cheesy metal songs about historical events
  13. Mostly GOG but a decent chunk on Steam as they were cheaper at the time.
  14. Nope not going to get Lawbreakers. Spent the weekend playing more Overwatch competitive basically just winding up people as much as I can
  15. To be replaced by awful writing, no doubt.
  16. This forum certainly is weirder each week
  17. Our Lord Oby just ascended to a higher plane
  18. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/white-st-louis-police-officer-shoots-off-duty-black-officer/ Wonder if this 'fear for my life' reasoning works for us normal people
  19. Deserts of Kharak is enjoyable, I rather enjoy the radio chatter you overhear when units are idle. Funniest one was a lady giving a guy an update to seal his vehicle against contaminants and his response is "... What contaminants? "I dunno, just telling you what they told me".
  20. Got Homeworld Deserts of kharak. Was 4 bucks cheaper than GoG
  21. It's one thing to think that, it's another for one head of state to say it to another. Especially two countries whose cooperation has changed the course of history for the better. Sonst würden wir auf deutsch geschreiben. Not too sure about that. The amount of crap adventures those two have gone on kind of takes the luster off WW2. Context of when that came up would be interesting. Besides isn't the "special relationship" a bit of a one sided joke?
  22. Ah ok well that's more like it. Good on him telling Brown that though. Have to admit it is reality. Trying to read up on this will be tainting, can see a lot Express, Sun and Mail articles ;p
  23. Read it near 20 years ago, all I recall was being rather fed up with how long it took the guy to die and didn't find it all that captivating.
  24. Well, there's not a lot to like in the first place . I guess the Welsh are kind of OK. Found a Mail article highlighting his loathing as he....moved a bust of Churchill out of the office and was mean to BP.
