  1. The thing is that Batista had a very successful first term where the GDP of the isle was on par with first world nation and we still have reminders of that decadent age, like a capitol building that makes the White House pale in comparison. His second term was were all the troubles began and when the US failed to intervene; more of their on/off intervention policy, revolt began on the isle and the underground resistance movement culminated with the war for independence. Considering that Batista's policies created a great divide between classes and at the time that Castro took power there was rampant illiteracy on the isle, I can't really say that support for the revolution was surprising.
  2. I too wouldn't wan't my game associated with the fiasco that was the third one.
  3. Because the Milky Way frowns on incestual relations? BTW, lets get to BW selling point; Who's ****able?
  4. Bull, he didn't have to do a lot of what he did, he did some things that ended hurting the economy but lining his pocket and he backtracked on a lot of those things. That's where we are now, trying to fix the damage that has been done by policies that were only sustained by the Soviet Union.
  5. Frederick the Great would disagree with you.
  6. It would prove that leftism is genetic.
  7. Went back to see if I will finally finish D:OS, then I remember that I hate the combat. Not the combat system, just the fact that I can only have 4 characters and I have to fight twice that. Which would be fine if could do more than 2 moves per character.
  8. Actually he was constantly re-elected in the same manner that despots always are, and if it wasn't for Trump's victory I would have said it was the same as the US.
  9. Past years I would had cried mayhem about it but now I can finally refund games I don't like.
  10. Volo I would appreciate if you didn't speculate about what Cubans are, lest of all while i'm around. Reducing an entire group of people to two views just to illustrate a point might be how you get your argument across but I won't stand for such sophistry, specially when its my people you're talking about. Then why dont you give us your views? I would have long commented on SA to avoid exactly this type of speculation We not going to beg you and the reality is I also agree with much of what Volo says I thought I had made myself clear on an earlier post, Castro was in power for over 40 years that's 3 generations of Cubans that have different opinions because they all experienced different aspects of the regime. Suffice it to say that it is complex, there is good and there is bad.

  12. Challenge Accepted. https://youtu.be/glr878X82PE (Purposely posting as link due to profanity in title) Posting other 2 Mike Patton bands, only missing Peeping Tom
  13. You keep this up and I'm going to start posting Fantomas.
  14. Every Cuban I've ever met has a serious issue with Castro. I take their word over anything else. It really depends on the Cuban; the old expats hate him with a passion, the newer generation are wary of him but don't fall into the trap of thinking that they would be better off with the US as an overlord. Then there are the hardcore subversive elements that are extremely discontent with their life on the island and are very pro-US if only because they are looking it through rose colored glasses. Just saying, we are not a monolith on the issue.
  15. Singers generally don't do well as actors, they have a brand to protect and are unwilling to commit to the roles. To put into context; Chris Tucker didn't have a singing career to fall back on, Beyonce will not let acting hurt her image as a singer/celebrity.
  16. Nope, international heroes status point out towards the sea; to their land of birth. National heroes point towards inland. "The West won"...says the SJW, marxist, socialist person that believes himself a humanist. Would you prefer I lied and said " Communism prevailed as it was stronger ideology " And I have never claimed to be a SJW because that word gets abused...I am definitely not a Marxist I do believe in a form of socialism like our friends in Scandinavia and I am a humanist ...ask volo, he will confirm this Liberals have exchanged humanism with socialism and would have you believe that to be moral is to engage in economical socialism (e.g. Welfare programs and such) if you're against those the please do say so. The fact is that most of modern liberals can trace their ideology to the counter culture movement of the 60's and 70's which were infiltrated by KGB in order to create dissent in the US and do the same thing they did to Afghanistan. Yet that ideology remains ignorant of its communist ties, and even more ignorant of how they aid the establishment.
  17. INB4 liberals start making quips about the Trump sign.

  19. Well, only one of the guys is actually a soldier, the rest are psychopaths. But all the Predator films are a bit campy, I still think they are fun. Hurl I got news for you, soldiers tend to be psychopaths.
  20. Finished it today, I would love an expansion where I actually get to rule over the territory and I finally get to
  21. Where they around before the British used to send someone to brew tea in the middle of battle and took their tea break?
  22. Not to spoil it but faith is a major theme of the game, not the belief but more like reputation. If you appoint a supreme overlord to the army it would look as favoritism and indirect support towards a faction making it gain power. Suffice it to say that if such thing were to happen the Archon would gain a tremendous amount of power.
  23. I was bored following the Scarlet Chorus, the game felt trite and predictable. But then I found the anarchy path, i'm having fun now.
