Hardware in game That's some NOE flying there

Got stomped in my SMAC game, my fault for slacking on military research (and not subjugating my neighbours). Was interesting to see the missile abuse the Hive unleashed on me, though. I guess I'll have to L2P again or at the least re-read the excellent manual to brush up on things.

Try Leviathan Wakes, I found it enjoyable.

You'd think the EDL types would have at least done it a bit more convincingly too.

Reading The Second World War by Keegan, but eh, nothing I didn't know. Had meant to finish Caliban's War before Abbadon's Gate comes out but not likely, might just be a couple of days late.

The outrage here is what I find the most amusing.

Easy, just tell them the enemy wants to ban their smartphones.

Finally getting some rain here, but as usual it's a wussy shower. In any event will clear the air a bit, so that's good. Unfortunately summer's coming in - 30 C weather on the later half of the week.

The remix of that English waste of skin is better, I think Nightshape had it in his forum signature

Aw DE, you're not advocating the ethnic cleansing of all Muslims from EU and a war to wipe them out ? Man, you suck at this forum Nazi role!

So, what you're saying is, we must dissent ? (Wrong portrait, I know).

Was worried that there was only ONE car. Would be quite a disappointing exhibit

Well that and how those things would be viewed in their time as opposed to ours. I guess it'll be a fun 600 years, though.

Pandora looks interesting, combat seems back to the Thunderdome style which might change hopefully. Heh, kept thinking it was a Civ IV mod.

As you unlock more moves the game gets a bit more fun, I found. Nothing like shattering legs and arms.

Don't understand why people buying used games get such flak, really, from either the companies or other consumers. I guess it's moot these days, but is a nice idea to not have the use of the product dictated to you after purchase.

They finally finished that cube game from Molyneux.

I'll give GTA 4 a break - if I have to hear Roman's voice one more time, I'll crack. I do like Jacob in the game, the scenes with Badman and him are pretty funny. Will fire up Civ IV and burn some hours that way.

Ah, that's everyone really and it does make sense - what do some strange villagers across the world who share none of your customs matter to you ? Not much compared to someone in your city getting wasted. Hell, think smaller, even within a city people just shrug off violent murders as long they're not too heinous (and the victim is the 'right' type).

I guess they should start requiring soldiers to be armed when out and about in uniform.

Well a 40k with the SMs anyway - Orks and IG could have bases and be sensible. But was a nice change, I wish the squads were a bit bigger and you could customize them all rather than just the sergeant.

Last time I followed wargames was when PCG had articles on it, only name I knew was SSI, think. Shame they're out of that now, but anyway, if the guys following wargames say Slitherine is competent then I guess that is cause for some optimism that it'll be good.

Well, he's worked his way up to that kind of role, certainly.
