  1. Charles reached the position of commanding a naval vessel that took part in a lot of anti-drug operations. Andrew was flying helicopters during the Falklands war, and the more recent issue, Harry was out in the sandbox, and is due to be headed back soon. William is involved in a lot of search and rescue. So you class none of that as military service? The Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh attended over 900 events last year. How many people of their age do you know who keep working with that sort of schedule? And that they'll pretty much be doing that till they die. Look at how busy the Queen Mother was right up until the end. I know about the ones who have served in conflicts, mainly was thinking of Andrew and Harry, the latter was probably more in harm's way than the rest and even then I'm suspicious as to how much they were in (it's good PR to be seen doing it, after all). Perhaps I'm a bit cynical about that. But the royalty does seem to get some respect, either that or significant portions of Canada are imbeciles right now - one example : Driving 12 hours to hope your daughter meets William =)
  2. Touchy. The military service bit was amusing.
  3. For some reason I assumed that was in Mexico before clicking the link.
  4. Sad case. Here's hoping several get strung up from all this.
  5. Read Herr's Dispatches as well. Still punching through Green Mars, at the conference part, a bit utopian for my liking but oh well. Still hate Hiroko's character.
  6. Based on his expression and that reticle, I'm assuming he's the product of some bio-engineering to make the Super Soldier. That seems like a rational assumption Also for some reason this came to me, Ronny Cox would have been a better IM.
  7. Would be nice to get a plain Jane NPC. Neat new models, well other than the musclehead.
  8. http://www.eurogamer.net/videos/deus-ex-hu...volutions-world Luckily, there's more to it than just shooting, there's talking to people and hacking and stuff.
  9. Take them, please. The bitter tears that will ensue will be glorious
  10. The Brits are cool, once you remove the English and Scots from them
  11. Heh, sad that when describing it to coworkers I said the guy wasn't 'gibbed'. Priceless reaction from them though. Sucked for some people, pretty sure some pedestrians were pretty close to the impact. Well, assuming they weren't buried in their smartphones anyway, heh.
  12. Some guy jumped from a building nearby work, 15th floor or so so his body's largely intact. Interesting start to the day. Heh, reminds me at my first job, outside the lunch room window we could see a guy that got shot at a nightclub. For some reason the cops left him in his underwear in 40 C weather for about 6-7 hours, was all bloated and what not.
  13. It's never a good idea.
  14. How many shooters have they made after Crysis 2 ? Decided to finally play the SP of OA, still in the middle of the airport fight though. Editor is pretty powerful, although I've made some really screwed up insertions if you give a Full speed waypoint after the Unload, chopper tilts fully, noses into the ground and explodes. The explosion seems a bit off though
  15. I swear far too much. My current tactic is to make up swear words that translate to the actual English one but only I know that, either that or try to be less angry.
  16. Ah come now it's not THAT bad. The tutorials are decent enough to know what to do as a basic grunt. Squad command and up seems to me it'll take more practice and study but ah well. The editor sure is fun, although I'm amusing myself by making rather one sided affairs as the CDF/USMC pound insurgents into dust with air power

  18. One day Obsidian will do it right.
  19. Seein BFBC22 at that price made me laugh. If only I had waited 2 weeks, ah well. Arma II's off too, so I got the Combined Ops.
  20. Got Divine Divinity from GOG, figured what the hell.
  21. Didn't regret buying Witcher 2, got good enjoyment out of it. Definitely not going to play it again after seeing each side. Anyway, I doubt Bioware will "screw" up ME3, they're not total fools
  22. Arma 2, fun with the editor.

    Megadeth - A tout le monde
  24. Just Cause 2 is slightly tempting at that price.
