  1. Don't think it was a quote, but from the reports on them being Nazis, the fuss when the trailer came out you certainly get the sense they were trying to convey that. Sure got their comment sections moving. Also, that was a great preview at Polygon, was he trying to be witty ?
  2. The King quest in Skellige had a shocking twist, end was a bit too convenient.
  3. I might get it, can be fun to slaughter people after work.
  4. Hasn't Blatter given the federations like AFC and CAF money and attention, and given the Blessed Europeans' snobbishness and sense of superiority, can you really blame them for liking that ? Does play a part, but it is a bit unfair to assume the only reason one could like Blatter is corruption (and the Euros are being led by Platini, who was FOR Qatar, by the way.) That's the comedy about this, Euro babies stamping their feet because their puppet didn't win and expressing attitudes that basically the World Cup shouldn't include "unworthy" nations.
  5. I'm just going to hope for the adversaries to move around of their own will.
  6. I am still confused how Blatter's ruined football rather than stuff like the excessive amount of money in the sport at a club level, as people whine over football being a business now.
  7. Some joke about a swordsman in there.
  8. This Azure Wrath sword seems really OP.
  9. http://ca.ign.com/articles/2015/06/01/xcom-2-announced-ign-first
  10. They still are, and the series has gone on pretty long, hm. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America's_Army Newest installment is going into release this year after 2 years of open beta, heh.
  11. Parents' revenge for their kids keeping them up as babies?
  12. Is more boring, where the hell is oby ?
  13. For the scripts to be approved (as in just a stamp rather than some process) ? Not really that much of a leap and that is ok, really, you want to use their people and their gear well they can say yes or no based on what your work is. I've never said it was something insidious.
  14. http://www.theguardian.com/football/2015/may/31/england-boycott-2018-world-cup-andy-burnham?CMP=EMCNEWEML6619I2 That'd suck to deny teams those 3 points.
  15. Yep, it's not really a subsidy in terms of money - they get to use personnel and equipment to add to authenticity, or what have you and get back PR and recruiting benefits. "Military Entertainment Complex" is a good one from these articles. Thought everyone knew it worked that way since Top Gun - in our time, at least.
  16. http://www.defense.gov/news/NewsArticle.aspx?ID=516 Pretty easy search, even if you get a litany of blog articles on the matter. Not really subsidy but still a degree of influence.
  17. Well, I suppose US military members do like the series so it's an indirect funding path. In movies they do tend to state terms for the use of their equipment, which makes some degree of sense, but I doubt the same is for games. In MW3, I am wondering if Remington paid Activision to have their logo displayed so prominently on some guns
  18. Hah, got a master crafted sword from that elf guy...and got a better version right after. I guess I should go finish the game, am nearly lvl 21.
  19. That was pretty enjoyable for a side quest. Heh, was running around with the damn blunt sword from Dandelion's quest - those guards seemed awful tough.
  20. Was a good day, Arsenal winning the FA Cup easily, then our garage door opener broke. New one on Tuesday, now to improve a lock so no one can open it from the outside
  21. The corrupt standing against the corrupt there
  22. Well Blatter won. Good comedy watching Euros and Americans sneering at his backing from the smaller confederations.
  23. About as boring as expected. Someone should make a third Crusader game.
  24. Well might as well read it now, hopefully it won't defeat me like Anna Karenina
