Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
Stingers were the problem, not RPGs. But in terms of the response, I'd imagine they'd do what Oakley hinted at, shame the US didn't do it though - not like the world would care that much for a while. That's pretty stupid then.

I guess pointing out that all states are self-interested meant all that. Okay then, off to go write a treatise rationalizing kidnapping and sexual slavery.

Boko Haram and the kidnpping of the school girls
Well no other blatant reason, you think the US/EU likes spending money and risking their people's lives for no return? Security reasons I'd guess for most of those - no need to have some failed state be the next training ground for terrorists to come bomb you in a couple of years. Heh, thinking of how Russia would have handled the whole 'Blackhawk Down' incident if it were their people.

Uh, I think that's pretty much every power.

Ongoing discussion of Ukraine
Doesn't doing crap like that make it easier for Russia to sell the idea of the ethnic Russians needing protection ?

'Murica, **** Yeah! Future Edition With any luck, this one will railroad you and hold your hand down a linear path from setpiece to setpiece. PMCs are the new Arabs.

What you did today
I had to pay as well. In a way, not really a bad thing as I had that money over the past year rather than the government doing it, but still hurts to pay any bill. Will up my RRSP contributions a bit to help offset that.

Disney buys Lucasfilm
Well, was more a comment on the reaction it will get rather than a prediction on how the movie will be. But like a new CoD release, I will probably see it.

Disney buys Lucasfilm
It will suck, regardless of staff.

Sounds like the Peter Molyneux of gaming.

Hoops 13-14
Which is totally relevant, because the NBA is a business. When you are in a business with 29 other owners, and they all want you out, it is going to happen. If he was in a government position it would probably be much harder to boot him. Edit: This totally made me flash to Will Farrel in Semi-Pro Didn't say it wasn't, just puts all the "outrage" and "disgust" into perspective.

Bad script writing as well.

Dragon Age: Inquistion
Reminds me of arguments about how it is S.Q.L not sequel and definitely not tickle-tk!

What are you playing now
Wonder what they'll do for Witcher 3, then. I actually should finish the W2 again now that I got the Extended version, think long enough time has passed that I can avoid replay fatigue (reason why I can never touch DA:O again..two playthroughs of that just wore me out)

Dragon Age: Inquistion
Only heard that from DAoC players way back, in WoW most people say main/alt or char from what I see.

Definitely repeated the mistake of the inventory system, while I endured it well, it could have been better.

What are you playing now
Broken Sword 5, after that I dunno what I'll play. Still have an enormous GOG backlog, so maybe I'll try to finish Ground Control

What you did today
Now I am wondering if flashbangs are an effective method of classroom control.

Ongoing discussion of Ukraine
Like the states they report in, it's not so much identical implementation but the intention is the same.
