  1. Browsing foreign radio stations on Shoutcast, seems every nation listens to techno these days.
  2. Well, not that proper a comparison though. The West has been helping the rebels out in Syria, no ? So not totally hands off, or you'd have to think the rebellion would have put down by now. Even if Assad's military seems incompetent. Hah, reading on this I came across a theory that the US doesn't want the rebellion to end quick either way, longer it goes it drains on Hezbollah/Iran. Shouldn't be confusing to read people waiting for the US to attack ISIS, it hits a lot of checkboxes on the list : Islamic extremists, Attacking a US "ally", Doing nasty things in the media.
  3. Well it being okay, and the way it works are often different, so best looking at things case by case. In this case, they can't ignore ISIS making a joke of their hopeful client state.
  4. So what ? It's in the West's interests to go finish off ISIS as they're slapping around Iraq at this point and the US has an objective of fighting Islamic terror with broadswords the past decade. Heh, what was the reason for getting involved in Libya, anyway ? Debatable if Russia and China are to blame for ISIS existing as it's hardly that simple, and last I've heard they're not arming them (might be abusing the West's arming of the "good" rebels for that at the start).
  5. I was thinking more about them rebooting their old IPs. Definitely not good news then.
  6. Well, the West and Russia and China play the global game so they interfere in places they really don't need to all the time. Surely you're not implying with your last line that the West acts outside of their own interests. US should definitely look to end ISIS. Perhaps they can enlist IDF help, too.
  7. Why is that great news ? No old Sierra folk are there. I guess Jensen's GK remake will come from there, though.
  8. Casey Hudson is gone from Bioware http://arstechnica.com/gaming/2014/08/mass-effect-executive-producer-casey-hudson-leaving-bioware/
  9. Was hoping someone would finish the Megadeth reference, to no avail.
  10. Peace sells ?
  11. Thankfully the "information" war will die down. Tired of people either stroking it to the lions of the IDF and how their existence is under threat or endless photos of dead or maimed civilians (though the latter really has my sympathy, not fun to live blinded or brain damaged, for example).
  12. Had to laugh at more Initech-esque occurrences with the new guy starting. Strange to have a new hire after 2 years since the last one, though bastard is next to me so has cost me storage space.
  13. Well, seems to be something else rather than a response to the quote. Though a Hamas guy is talking to Wolf Blitzer, wonderful journalist that he is, seems pointless to begin with for either party. Eh, I suppose stuff like this now isn't all that harmful, ones that will heed this are already well dyed.
  14. Wing Commander 3 is free on Origin - https://www.origin.com/en-ca/store/free-games/on-the-house
  15. Gaming as a service is a depressing trend, for sure.
  16. http://graphics.wsj.com/gaza-before-after/ Before & After photos of Gaza. Interesting to see the effects in terms of structural damage, at least. A more ideal solution would be for them to die horribly. But as for keeping quiet - http://www.timesofisrael.com/knesset-member-retake-gaza-put-civilians-in-tent-camps/
  17. Interesting that the killing of a soldier today was labelled as terrorism. But another truce - what are the odds it doesn't last 24 hours?
  18. Heh, I wouldn't say that is an unkown event. Seems it worked out well for everyone, Israel wasn't affected much by it, and people were encouraged to look at alternatives. Hm, wonder what would have happened if the IDF lost the '72 war
  19. Guess that Unity party is re-activated since 1999.
  20. Neo-nazis everywhere.
  21. Will have to see how much they've helped the US in that region that much in the past. Certainly seem to be more uppity towards the US of late, but I suppose they know they can get away with murder with the US. Heh, was a bit hesitant to search that as I can foresee a lot of shill results more than anything.
