Argentina had a **** team in '86, but one star player. Even in '90 they still reached the finals, where they were cheated. History might just repeat itself.

There's one thing for sure: this would not have happened in Texas.

In the Netherlands, Theo van Gogh was brutally murdered on the street. The Danish cartoonist was nearly murdered after a muslim broke into his house, but he could lock himself and his family into the bathroom. Recently, Belgium has had our own incident when a speaker in the university of Antwerp was disrupted by a nice group called "Sharia4Belgium": Basically for muslims freedom of speech only counts when it can be (ab)used to spread their 'religion of peace'. But strictly speaking, as long as islam remains locked in their medieval viewpoint, there is nothing in western culture that isn't an insult to them.

You're aware that Hindu/Sikh violence has been widespread in India? I had thought it was rather Hindu/Muslim in India. But I was speaking about Hinduists in Western Europe.

I thought that mod was a deliberate satire of the BioWare obsession with romances.

A reason why I appreciate Hinduism, is that some gods in that religion are, in fact, human-faced dogs among many other things. They have no reason to throw tantrums.

Muslims won the Battle of Tours after all, 1278 years after date.

Hey, at least it beats the Saerileth mod. I've no clue what you're talking about. "Saerileth is a 15-year-old human paladin of Tyr. She hails from Mount Celestia in the Outer Planes. She is young, romanceable (for good-aligned humans, elves, and half-elves), and beautiful. She is complete through ToB, and she has quests and a flirt/chatpack. She brings with her three new areas for SoA, two SoA quests, and a ToB quest. Saerileth is a young woman of deep religious conviction and certainty. She has extensive voicing, banters, and interjections. And Saerileth will love you like no other. We hope you will play her mod repeatedly." http://www.gilalion.com/saerilethmod.htm

The first Drakensang had the following DRM: a missing quest NPC if the game was pirated, making it impossible to continue. The sequel, River of Time, uses something similar (making it possible to revive characters that fell in battle). It also caused pirates to flood the forum and whine about a buggy game, which was hilarious.

Thats nothing compared to Belgium, bro. Belgium is ruled by the minority.

There's an article about how games can't be interactive movies because they have free camera control (while mentioning Silent Hill 1-2), constant character freedom (=no cutscenes, while mentioning MGS 4), etc. Authored by David Cage?

A level 30+ cleric's Turn Undead should kill a demi-lich on the spot. Even mighty Kangaxx gets owned by it. But Aerie Kaelyn probably will never get such a high level.

I take it you didn't much appreciate Fallout 2?

Wait... are you saying Alpha Protocol isn't an AAA title?!

Why did she jam a revolver into her body? Looks painful.

I agree with OP.

The game will most probably be compared to Splinter Cell: Conviction a lot, including graphics. I think AP looks about as good as Splinter Cell: Double Agent, which is a 2006 game. Big deal.

Maybe the game will have a more light-hearted tone if one picks solely James Bond style dialogue options, and feel more 'serious' if one sticks to Jason Bourne or Jack Bauer?

I thought that first WoW pic was from Overlord instead.

No matter what Bethesda would've concocted for FO3, it would never have been Fallout enough. *snicker*

I've started playing Rise of the Argonauts and it's quite a fun game, for a console port. It likes to crash now and then and has problems with controls that like to reset themselves in the middle of combat, but overall I'm pleasantly surprised. I followed this game during its development a couple of years ago but somehow forgot about it. Though I wish the game wouldn't try so hard to be a RPG, when it's clearly an action game... combat is great fun but there's simply not enough of it. For every fight in the game there's probably 1 hour of talking... I finished a main quest hub that contained exactly six fights, and for the rest consisted of 2-3 hours of running around and listening to people speak. This game has more talking than Dragon Age. But the companions one picks up during the game are surprisingly well-written, and have some excellent banter & commentary as well. I'm liking them better than the ones from Dragon Age. Music is quite fantastic as well... and the story at least doesn't completely and utterly rape Greek mythology, unlike God of War. Only gripe is, as said above, some technical issues for which there doesn't appear to be a patch.
