But they hoped Ukrainian courage and resourcefulness would carry the day." Sort of a comic way to start off the article. Seems like lay people's expectations were way too high for the counteroffensive, the marketing worked too well.

I'd thought this was to buy it, but seems like it's just to activate what you paid for? Pretty tame for a scam all said.

Canada and the US wouldn't mind making a buck off this crisis.

They should do the Battle of Nuremberg, the Mineirazo next

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/newsbeat-66266344 Okay, this was a unny way to mess with news sites

He went off on Putin recently and has taken shots at him, the MoD, etc. a lot in past. People used to wonder how he was still around. Is a funny juxtaposition with Prigozhin, though

Probably should have restricted that percentage to Ukraine, could be 50/50, 70/30, 10/90.. Will eagerly anticipate the US media interpretation of Girkin's arrest, maybe they'll trot out that clown McFaul for insight.

I thought there'd be a boycott

The real Monkey Island sequel

Guess we see who blows up a civilian freighter first

I found Rogue One enjoyable, at least I can rewatch it. Not really the case for the sequel trilogy that much, would say TFA was the better of the 3, Rise of Skywalker is just a mess I found. Still waiting for the Chewbacca series, all in Shyriiwook

No, since they started recording voice chat the toxicity and raging is gone from my games. Was the only thing worth playing for, to feed off The Hate.

One of you should want me to play this so much you'll buy it for me.

When aren't they. Not sure why anyone cares what Asmongold would have to say on Diablo, versus Krip. Interesting that BG3 is mentioned, didn't really think there'd be much overlap of those audiences, well I guess BG3 is in the news. Nerfing the experience gains are puzzling, the whispers have been increased though - haven't gotten a chance to try those out to see, I enjoy doing those more than dungeons at least with my schedule. Seems they didn't learn from the WoW team in terms of not over-managing players so to speak. "We have generally reduced the tendency for many monsters to move around in combat, so that melee characters don't have to chase down their enemies as much." Hah, that has been my whine with my rogue.

Know the Xeno, kill the Xeno.

Hm, fair enough. As you mention Blair, I did have a funny conversation where the other guy claimed that the US and UK paid a heavy price for invading Iraq as they lost credibility and made other First World nations mad at them.

The rules only apply to the weak.

Lots do, although may be helped a tad by the rest of the new Star Wars media being not that great.

Yep doesn't feel like it was that old, but got the urge to replay it and found out I had Definitive Edition. Not that huge a deal, at least RMB doesn't exit vehicles by default

I still like the outrage over that after fans deceived themselves, half a billion is pretty good scratch. If it were SC3 wonder what the story would be, I guess UED invades again?

Wait 6 months, that way critical things are likely to be patched and maybe it will be on sale

Seems like a waste of money, Swedes are ok with joining the alliance. Not to mention that with Finland in, Sweden's pretty secure as is, regardless. And marketing a military alliance is odd to see as well, heh.

Believable, ammunition expenditure is nuts and Russian logistics are a bit degraded. Wonder how Ukrainian ammo supplies are going as well.
