Not fringes, they just have to work with smaller parties and compromise in order to win the support of those parties and serve the interests of the people who support them. Minority governments work pretty well given that the Executive and Legislative are the same damn thing in majority governments. Proportional representation does make constituency a bit awkward, but I think a mixed system works around that

Sure, no gameplay but...40k ships!

Insufficient cleavage to continue.

Seems like random cranks. Expecting to see that kind of stuff here during our next election. Either done by people believing that crap or people wanting others to think they did, heh.

Sort of a pot and kettle thing with Moosa complaining about shaming people online for opinions.

Hahaha.

A bit rude to immigrate to a place and then castigate the locals for living in a way that disagrees with the way you want it

The lady TIE Bomber pilot in this vid (at 4:10) did make me feel kinda funny in my chair: I couldn't take that seriously with the TIE Bomber being so agile and with that Macross Missile Massacre (but yes, he was aiming to make an anime intro). Still impressive work by that guy to make that by hand. That blaster rifle seems a bit too short for her grip on it.

Galls me to think Freespace IP was sold for $7500 would be nice to continue the story, perhaps find out what the Shivans were up to. Ah, dreams.

Well, you could always scrap the weapons or sell the deadly stuff to client nations nations in need of security

Linux version is 'soon', I believe.

I'm guessing the article refers more to the $4.2bn worth of military aircraft, MRAPs and other hand-me-down hardware. edit: btw, that comes 100% out of tax dollars. Ah, duh, forgot about that, my mistake. If I recall right, not all the stuff was weapons and armour, but wow that is some scary lack of oversight - I like the redneck chief preparing for an NBC attack

To hook up to an existing network, they are having problems so am looking to see if I can help.

It's still a valid concern if they are being called for things they are not needed for as well as if the SWAT members are not up to snuff and disciplined, LAPD's is probably one of the best in the US, but some smaller city in Oklahoma may just let any cop wanting to be an Operator in. SWAT is just a weapon, you have to be concerned about how readily that weapon's drawn.

While the article is true overall, come on, gear meant for war zones ? Flashbangs and a carbine or SMG ? Always wonder in these Swattings if any officer says "this looks weird." or if they assess the situation beforehand at all.

Not too sure they get in chases that really necessitate camo, cops tend to not get involved in S&D missions or something. These cops looking scary and army like is inevitable - they need at least some of that kit, the rifle and comm gear (still think that dude has far too much crap on him), bobbies aren't much help in hostage rescue or a situation with shooters - SWAT was made for a reason. The concern really should be the use of the tool, SWAT in the US seems to get called for crap they're not needed for. But police in general seem to have a problem of valuing nuts over brains 90% of the time. Was looking around as to why they are kitted up so fancy, came across "SWAT want to look cool", so maybe that is it.

Looking into running an irc server, should be interesting if I can find a decent host in Canada.

Jeez, that cop has far more gear on that he needs. While the appearance of the cop doesn't really matter much for militarization - it's the gun he's carrying - not sure why SWAT officers look like COD fanboys rather than the usual image of guys in dark blue shirts with black tactical gear.

Galaxy is open beta http://www.gamespot.com/articles/witcher-3-s-drm-free-platform-gog-galaxy-hits-open/1100-6427082/

This is pretty funny to see.

I guess these people were really hoping for this kind of reaction to their, heh, "event".

Hopefully filled with soporific combat!

The PQ games were pretty fun, SWAT is really unlike all the others so it is unfair to the series to use that to cudgel it with. SWAT 4 was a good game though and it would be nice to see a game where you're a cop rather than a counter-terrorist who doesn't need handcuffs.
