If one of your buddies offered you a ride on the company's plane to sky dive without the consent from his boss, would you take it? What if it was someone offering a free ride at the cost of the company's money? See, pirates have thousands of "buddies" who all get on this thing call the world wide web and share products with each other. Some buddies procure the product, some crack it and some upload it. Then we have a whole network of buddies sharing the same thing. It really it's the same concept of burning one of your friend's albums and then letting another friend burn it too, just applied to the global scale.

I beg to differ sir, democracy is everything away from stable. Giving everyone a voice just causes the many conflicting groups seen during the 60's and even before, many of which still remain. Worst example is the KKK a hate mongering organization that promotes violence but it's allowed it's democratic vote and voice, I would like to know what's civilized about this. Different peoples, different cultures, different history no one form of government is going to encompass the best for everyone in the world. The Chinese are better when under strong leadership, it has been that way through their history. Aside from their Communist "eccentricities"; which compared to other Communists regimes are mellow, they have a pretty stable and successful society.

I love the Clash.

my Blops experience was pretty much 5 sec of gameplay and 1sec skips.

But so far the US is not known for blocking access to the web like China. If they gain more cyberwarfare capability we may have more incidents like this; the military equivalent of a weapons test.

Is all of the new info on the wiki yet?

We have officially reached Godwin's law Mach 5.

Cuddle it. It, not her, IT. Does this mean that you would cuddle the pile of dog poop even if Milla would be in on it? The picture.

I agree, most people openly against religion have religious backgrounds so it's something very personal for them. Their view is eschewed and they put off religion as extremism, it is human nature after all. Politics got the same treatment back in the 60's with all the Cold War paranoia, so it's not something inherent to religion but something about institutionalized perceptions that it's open to abuse by men.

And the inquisition? That was misunderstood as well in your mind I suppose too. Bible bleeding hearts like you are a dime a dozen from my travels. Always making up rationals for atrocities committed by (their) faith/organized religion. But what's your excuse? I am a ordained Wiccan minister. Last I knew no wars, genocides or mass atrocities were ever committed in the name of Wicca. But if I missed one please do point it out. Wiccan is a modern offshoot of ancient Celts druids and other pagan beliefs, some of which (like the druids) had been involved in ritual sacrifice. So yeah; Wiccan are in the minor leagues when it comes to killing.

Heck of a Freudian slip. Brings back memories... what was his name, Dan Quayle or some such As to the whys and wherefore speculations, quoting myself from elsewhere (because I like the sound of my voice): Why Gorth; I didn't know you were an artist.

Heck of a Freudian slip.

Is not about the explanation of what happened is about the aftermath.

Rumor is that Noomi Rapace is the lead female actress for the Alien prequels. A fitting role, considering she can play a tough bitch. Maybe but this is a "psychotic anti-hero, sensitive bitch" Plus I'm wondering how they'll handle the really gritty scenes.

I certainly enjoy a game that has an unique visual style, but it's not necessarily a deal breaker if it doesn't. DA1 had a lot things that worked, I actually found the character models agreeable and it has some of my favorites monster designs. My personal distaste with DA2 is that they scrapped all that work visually and replaced with utter crap.

Who didn't get the reference. At any rate we are almost at the one page limit and I'm the only guy interested. This fundraiser is a failure.

Wouldn't it better to play AAA games and get the companies involved in the fund? Well they have a string of sponsors for their Auctions. Sega, Bethesda, THQ, Microsoft, Sony, and Dark Horse Comics to name a few. But most of their money comes from random people on the world. Right now they're auctioning off a custom voice clip from the guy who does Duke Nukem. What will he say? I'm Duke Nukem and this is my favorite charity on the Citadel.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo; the original, great movie. Sweden has been making great movies lately, which are doomed to be copied by Hollywood this is the second movie in a row to be made into a crappy American remake.

Wouldn't it better to play AAA games and get the companies involved in the fund?

But's it's just two big swords and moe characters away from it. That doesn't inspire much confidence.

Wouldn't that Mass Effect with better VA, writing, star power and overall design?

I won't donate then; those poor people driving the bus.

You are arguing the semantics of freedom whilst living in a society, this is a point that gets nowhere since we are bound by many chains, social and metaphysical. If trading some freedoms for comfort, a basic understanding and respect for others is tyranny then your alternative would be a completely asocial existence. Manners, human rights, ethics and laws are also imposed on us in a tyrannical manner. Should everyone "free" themselves and behave as they would, and completely ignore any form of boundaries? Boundaries that exist to maintain the existence of society which has allowed humans to reach this point. Whilst its a matter of degrees of freedom, you can't operate freely in a tyrannical society with the government breathing constantly at your back. Whereas we enjoy a greater range of freedom since we can express distaste, publicly disagree, and even influence government legislation without fear of reprisals. China may not be a pure Communist society with their many corporations and international trade but the flow of ideas in the country is stagnated by a governmental hold. That a woman was arrested for tweeting (which is also illegal on the country) is the perfect example of the backwards kind of thinking that should be changed. If the majority people really agree with their government then they shouldn't be afraid of giving them a voice or a little choice.

... that's sort of what I thought. Alpha Protocal... IN SPACE. No, that's impossible since I'm making that game.

They control production, if the western allies decided to close trade with China and seek alternative suppliers it would leave them in a position closer to their 1920's. Overpopulation becomes unsustainable, poverty, lack of jobs and they'll probably begin the mass emigrations again. So China has much to lose without allies; all that we need is viable threat, that is to say that we show them that we can survive without them. Change the balance of power for our benefit.
