  1. http://www.gog.com/game/grim_fandango_remastered?pp=cb4e5208b4cd87268b208e49452ed6e89a68e0b8 GF remake up for pre-order. Double Fine finished a project!
  2. So we will get propaganda and misinformation from the Blue Team now ?
  3. Not quite sure the examples are comparable, Somalia in 92, perhaps - though that country was shattered thoroughly at the point. Oddly, the Marines present calmed the city (and the US may or may not have inflamed things via TOW missile, anyway). But wasn't implying they'd get the roses and hugs, necessarily, but that there wouldn't be a simmering insurgency they need to combat. I would hope BH is not popular with Nigerians, but I suppose if they were that changes things. As for tackling them outside, a military approach could work. Just have to hope you kill a lot before they are driven underground. But at that point they won't be getting audacious as they are and starting to threaten neighbouring countries. That and seeing one of these kill crazy African militias run up against a proper military is something I've always wanted to see.
  4. Not sure they would need to secure that many people. The resident populace may not be very hostile to a foreign force that has come to kill Boko Haram. Long term that is the solution needed and has to be done by Nigerian forces, but that should be a bit easier if Boko Haram can be battered enough. Will be a hard campaign though, have to make sure they can't flee to other countries. But theory at this point.
  5. Thanks for pointing that out, I would have never guessed..... I should use more smiley's. And I know people who turned 30, years ago, I have not noticed any fundamental changes neither mentally nor physically. Guess age is just a number after all. Well if you got that, your riposte doesn't really work all that well. Listening to experiences can't hurt, at the very least it gives you an impetus to learn about the material in depth enough to disprove it. *nod*
  6. Yeah but everything changes PERMANENTLY. So ceasing to be 30 is no help
  7. Glad I have none of you as Steam friends, malware vectors all of you!
  8. And what is wrong with voodoo priestesses ? Lady Shambala is worth every penny.
  9. Or just do it half and half with water (or even more towards the water side). I do that with pretty much all juice. Drinking water straight all the time gets rather boring, after all.
  10. Rather amazing this has been going on this long, isn't it.
  11. Not sure Boko Haram is so much 'terrorism' as insurgency at this point. They're about 10,000 strong or so and launch major ground attacks, in addition to bombings. A military approach can help cull them down to, unfortunately, terrorist attacks alone. But unlikely to kill as many at that point.
  12. Good that you got better. Meningitis is no joke.
  13. They are planning a sequel, I think. I never did get a good ending in that game. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/idgi/consortium-0/posts/954416
  14. Sure, but your punch at people and that your opposition are awash with 'privelege' was based on a different basis. Of course, that works well for all these, ahem, enlightened people who are concerned with "social justice" (as long as they can do it via keyboard). Which the part of my quote you truncated does look at. Is a reasonable question. In this though, it is rather laughable - everyone here has a nice internet connection, lives in a nice and safe place (especially the usual guilt ridden white guys, heh). But I guess the old joke about Oppression Olympics is somewhat accurate.
  15. Well in this case, sure doesn't look like Boko Haram will be put to the sword without Western hands.
  16. Played WoW PvP mainly this weekend, forgot how much I missed the whining and abuse in chat. Almost makes one understand mass murder.
  17. What if it is just a worry ? One can multitask, after all. Heh, is true for people complaining about 'representation' in games as well, I suppose. Though I guess when one seems to be on jihad, confusion can be forgiven.
  18. Uh, what in Mass Effect 1 ever gave that feeling. I like ME but still, heh. As an aside, who is this guy, anyway ?
  19. ...Yeah, I'm not sure it's an especially strong argument in favor of how Witcher's done things. Don't get me wrong, I love that game, but... damn. Works with the targets anyway, whores or some really loose women (rather funny in Act 4). Wasn't as much of a chore in DA. But nothing really wrong with that, it is how things can work in real life sort of - gifts raise opinion of you, etc. As for the C&C messages, it is a bit eye-roll inducing but I suppose some players need that. It's not too intrusive and is worth a laugh sometimes - Dreamfall Chapters had that.
  20. So, no one dead yet from this 'human tragedy' ? Guardian looses shots, etc. - http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/11/twine-program-democratised-gaming-world Non-tech people making technical things, only greatness can ensue.
  21. Can't fault Chad and Niger for pulling back. I wonder if the people dying are not government supporters or something. Based on the way Nigeria doesn't seem to really want to crush this.
  22. Yeah, and bullets are shaped in a phallic way because of reasons other than aerodynamics.
