Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
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.

What you did today
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*

Yeah but everything changes PERMANENTLY. So ceasing to be 30 is no help

And what is wrong with voodoo priestesses ? Lady Shambala is worth every penny.

What you did today
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.

Rather amazing this has been going on this long, isn't it.

Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
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.

Good that you got better. Meningitis is no joke.

Amazing Kickstarter project which have been released so far.
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

Journalism and sexism in the games industry
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.

Well in this case, sure doesn't look like Boko Haram will be put to the sword without Western hands.

What are you playing now?
Played WoW PvP mainly this weekend, forgot how much I missed the whining and abuse in chat. Almost makes one understand mass murder.

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.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt [2014]
Uh, what in Mass Effect 1 ever gave that feeling. I like ME but still, heh. As an aside, who is this guy, anyway ?

Game Mechanics: Distrubing Trends
...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.

Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
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.
