Now that is intresting as apparently no base was given to the cells before they started forming the eye. Let's just hope that it won't end up like the "regrowing teeth with stem cells" idea.

I'm not removing any agency from women merely questioning the outlook that they partook in combat. That you need a separate list to name a handful over the course of a 1000 years and multiple cultures should make it clear enough how exceptional occurrence it was for a woman to have a commanding role in warfare. We can easily surmise that participation in actual fighting was equally rare.

I'm sorry but what makes you think that this is a major issue for female gamers? AFAIK there have been attempts to change some questionable character models in MMO games but devs relented supposedly after protests form women themselves. And dose arguing this issue from the perspective of reality or practicability really makes sense? Most of the problematic character design assume the existence of female warriors in the first place. That alone is already questionable enough to break immersion in the all-too-common pseudo-medieval settings.

Similar case could be made for Castro and Cuba. There doesn't seem to be much improvement following handing down of power.

Or .Altho it's more of an antithesis.

But it does. Check your history if you believe otherwise. Religion has been used to great effect to get people up in arms just because the head of some church or another claimed that GOD demanded it. That may be but it's never been more instrumental than economical factors. Most people are simply all too willing to use religion to justify actions driven by avarice. As for the attack - the only thing to look for is what the local community does now. I imagine "Islam is peace" will get repeated a lot but no real action will be taken. Not unlike fighting football hooligans.

Crysis 2. Man it's like the first one man only not as good man. That NPC speech pattern is the only memorable thing about it.

And that's part of the problem. Fedexing or "go there and use speech" quests contributed little to my enjoyment of the game. Sometimes they could provide insight into factions and motivations but most was unremarkable had few choices and no long term consequences. As silly as some of FO3 quests were I can at least recall most of them. Many quests in NV felt like they were meant for isometric RPG were you can do them in bulk.

It's a PC franchise heading to consoles. Of course it may fail expectations of old time fans.

I fear we have been discussing different things all along. I don't mean that thorium has no potential behind it - it dose. But from the economical PoV it may not be enough to make it the more attractive solution.

AFAIK not every fact you mention is strictly true but that is besides the point. What's really important to keep your enthusiasm in check. Just as people promising miraculous fuel production from sun/water/air there are people declaring fusion will be viable within a decade or that thorium will solve all nuclear energy problems within a fortnight. There is no real reason to believe one group over the other. Every potential solution gets it's medial minute every once in a while.

That's assuming it will actually be desirable. Right now it seems unlikely you could run thorium reactors without messing with uranium. Considering the development cycles we might have access to fusion by the time thorium becomes an acceptable solution. And fusion is always 30 years into the future.

So would I but since relic insists in reusing CoH engine it's unlikely to happen. Unless it goes multiplatform

And the multiplayer was wrecked by infinite-resource exploits. That they were left unpatched for months after the release pretty much killed the game online.

Metternich is an odd chap to refer to, Machiavelli would fit a whole lot better as he almost certainly would approve. Actually he most likely would not. From what we know of the man the prince was written to be an exercise in trolling the common people and a poison chalice to any ruler taking it seriously. As irony would have it Machiavelli was not a Machiavellian.

They were never true? The wishful thinking of select few doesn

This isn't so much about IQ as basic performance. I may have a PC with processing power roughly equal to a xbox360 but can't get games like Gta4 and New Vegas running smoothly even on the absolutely minimal graphic settings. There is definitely some kind of problem with the way PC versions of many games work.

Apparently Crysis2 is looking swell on the 360. As usual, it's much more about software and how much work you put into it than the hardware. Interesting. I'm not doubting you, but do you have any linkable pieces discussing this point? There has been recent discussion on it. In essence they argue that all the extra layers of API/driver/OS bottleneck a lot of PCs graphic power and I imagine you need to use various tricks on the software side to somehow get around it. The end result is that PC games don't look much better than console games despite large differences in theoretical graphic power. I always thought that has more to do with game assets being made with consoles in mind but I'm sure they also have a point.

Isn't that the same developer that turned Blood bowl into an action game? Can't say I

That looks ... clunky Maybe it's the animation (especially the auto-fire at 0:25) but something doesn’t feel right about that trailer. And on reflection the purple shot-effects seem to bother me a little. Maybe it’s that I'm just used to Guardian of Light.

That may be but modern medicine offers plenty of expensive treatments that have relatively little effect. The line has to be drawn somewhere and public health care systems have serious problems justifying cost-cutting in the face of human suffering.

If you are bothered about steam requirement in PC games you'll likely know that only large some-time PC publishers still refuse to sign up. Most of them have some sort of competing platform that they try to push through.
