Or its the opinion of radical feminists, not sure why you guys want to post there stuff and then express such outrage. They don't represent mainstream gender equality views Some of there blogs are just ludicrous

No it wasn't playable for everyone, that's the point. Like the fact CoM_Solaufein game keeps crashing? Your own personal experience doesn't apply to everyone

I'm all for gay rights, but I don't see what homosexuality has to do with Ukraine. Is this protest about more than just the Ukraine issue? I think protests are more effective when they are about a single issue. There is a connection between gay rights and the nationalist interests of Russia in Ukraine. And that connection is Putin, we know that Putin has started legislating homophobia in Russia. So any march that is opposed to Russian interference in Ukraine will also bring about gay people in Russia joining the protest who being discriminated against It all boils down top the same objective, raising awareness to the authoritarian policies of Putin Putin may be behind both the those situation, but they are still separate issues. If they had staged a protest about gay rights exclusively; I suspect the results would be better than getting the issue mixed up with other policies. There is suppression of certain basic human rights, like the right to protest, in Russia so I can completely understand why gay activists would jump on the bandwagon to raise visibility to there cause during a anti-war protest. You must be aware how heavy handed the Russian police have been in the past when there were dedicated protests raising visibility around homophobia If I was a gay Russian I would also use an anti-war protest to champion my cause because you are shielded by all the other protesters in certain respects

Personally I really enjoy these types of discussions. Its a lot more interesting than threads discussing conspiracy theories within the gaming industry, don't you think?

I'll let you into a secret- I'm not even slightly worried about disagreeing with you as I don't value your opinions at all. I call it trolling because telling someone they should 'appreciate'- your word- their country being bombed is trolling, plain and simple. And as usual you are selective with your understanding or you make an assumption around what someone means or says. I never said "Serbia should appreciate that they were bombed ". I said "You really don't seem to appreciate what NATO did for your country, imagine what would have happened if the Bosnian war had been to allowed continue" NATO ended the war in Bosnia and Kosovo. Why do you think that any country shouldn't see the long term benefits of not being involved in a war? Its obvious I suppose you would be happy if the Serbs had basically carved whatever parts of Bosnia they wanted and the forced the ethnic Bosniaks to live somewhere else? That does seem to be how you see things, like your justifications for Russia illegally annexing the Crimea So in your world as long as the West isn't illegally occupying other countries its fine. But other countries like Russia can basically do what they want and your prodigious justification machinery kicks to explain how legitimate there actions are Nice consistency there Zora

It's an online game. I already knew this was coming, but... Why don't you like this concept, is it because its online? I wonder if that just means if it will offer multiplayer ? Yes. It's not an expansion, it's a new game. I want to hope for the best, but when I read "PC only online game" my mind immediately goes to a dark place that says oh dear lord, will it be YAMMO (Yet Another MMO) or YAMOBA (Yet Another MOBA)? Yeah I share the concerns about issues around games being online. But I do think it could be quite fun playing PVP using the martial arts system of Sleeping Dogs. Imagine those fighting tournaments that you can partake of in the game but this time its against other players..that would be challenging. Not sure if this online version of SD will offer that ?

Wow that does sound bad but at least you are very proficient in English so you and other German fans can still play in English? Or would you only play the game in German?

During this whole Ukraine situation more than a few people have invoked NATO as a justification for intervention. Also the last NATO intervention as Libya, which was 3 years ago.

Not at all, you just bitter because NATO bombed some sense into Serbia. But this prevented you guys from committing even more acts of genocide. You really don't seem to appreciate what NATO did for your country, imagine what would have happened if the Bosnian war had been to allowed continue? Imagine how many additional Serbs would be facing war crimes in the Hague, trust me Sarex NATO did Serbia a favour by ending the war. It may not seem like it but NATO intervention was the best long term strategy for stability of the whole region Trolling is bad enough but telling someone who may well have had friends or relatives 'liberated, from life' by your good friends in NATO and telling them that they should be grateful for it- again, and again, no less- is bad taste at best and is- absolutely- the definition of trolling for a response. It's also boring, lazy and- sadly- utterly par for the course, for you. According to you it trolling because I don't echo your opinion I have had numerous discussions with Sarex around politics and he is definitely anti-Western and the root cause of this is the perceived treatment that Serbia received during the Bosnian war and Kosovo. Serbia wasn't singled out for military action because NATO was "anti-Serbia " but because there was a valid reason due to persistent Serbian aggression against the Bosniaks and Croats ( and yes the Croats and Bosniaks also committed war crimes but not as many as the Serbs) Sorry you don't like the facts around history but that's your problem really I also take an issue with Sarex saying my opinion is insane because I am not agreeing that NATO is some aggressive organisation that pushes a Western agenda at the expense of everything else

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/09/22/sleeping-dogs-follow-up-triad-wars-is-a-pc-only-online-game/ Yay, it looks like there is a PC only expansion coming to Sleeping Dogs. I'll be getting this one for sure, I loved Sleeping Dogs. More news about this to follow

That's a very wrong statement. Do you know that the last NATO intervention was nearly 10 years ago? Do you know that most interventions by NATO was on the request of USA? How can you claim that NATO is forcing US to intervene when it's exactly the other way around? No that's not true, the reality of NATO is that unless the USA gets involved in any NATO mission there is a lack of commitment and effectiveness. The UK and France do contribute but everyone basically expects the USA to contribute in military missions or they generally don't happen. Libya is an exception to this where once the USA destroyed Gaddafi's anti-aircraft defences it was the UK and France who did most of the airstrikes So I do believe that NATO without the USA wouldn't be as prominent as it is now

I think what Sharp_ One is trying to say is that there is a perceived lack of condemnation from the Muslim community whenever there is an act of terror from Muslim extremists Now this obviously varies from country to country but I can say this is definitely a problem in South Africa from my discussions with the Muslim community For example I listen to a very popular and prominent radio talk show called 702 and I have heard very little criticism from Muslim callers about any act of violence perpetuated by Islamic extremists. In fact last week there were 3 separate Muslim callers who phoned in about a discussion around ISIS to say " that we did not know the truth and that ISIS wasn't an Islamic organisation and the CIA was behind the creation of them ". It was straight Vals conspiracy theory nonsense So there is definitely misinformation being spread in the South African Muslim community. We literally never hear condemnation about acts of Islamic extremism and in fact we seem to hear more justification, we still hear the old " its the Americans fault for bombing Iraq and Afghanistan" nonsense. But I do hear criticisms from the UK Muslim community on Sky and other channels so this is not a global view

What does the book say; that the Nazi's are capitalists, socialists, or neither? You guys are all wrong, the Nazi's were fascists. I win

That sux, never nice when that happens

Why haven't you been making backups? Its one of the most important rules if you have pertinent data

Good, so you are accepting defeat. Don't feel like you have let yourself down, it was inevitable. You were effectively fighting against the forces of righteousness and honour....you never really had a chance

I don't think anyone is even remotely suggesting that a person can't be called a Muslim unless he believes in eternal war? I may have missed that one

Don't you think I'm funny, my mom doesn't think I'm funny and some of my g-friends don't think I'm funny. My sense of humour is definitely an acquired taste, you should meet me in person..I think you'll find me funny You don't really come highly recommended. Okay now you funny, I want to be funny like you

You sound like a Neo-Nazi Jadedmeister, are you a Neo-Nazi? It wouldn't surprise me considering how much you hate minorities and don't want them to be represented in games You know, Bruce, I am not sure if you're joking or serious at this point. I'm being very serious, only a Neo-Nazi wouldn't want minorities in games !!!! PS : The usage of or I thought indicates that a person is joking or teasing, so in other words of course I don't think you are a Neo-Nazi

What? You mean it's not fair comparing the absolute worst of one group with those who are considered the "best" of the other group? That's not really fair, moderate can be many things depending on who you ask and in what context, people who call themselves moderate aren't necesarrily moderate, and the more secular muslims who don't give that much of a damn wouldn't bother showing up to one of these things. I don't think so, we mustn't get confused between most Muslims who would go to those types of conferences and follow the Koran literally and extremist Muslims who join ISIS and Al-Qaeda In other words the definition of an extremist or fundamentalist Muslim isn't someone who says men and women should pray separately, almost all Muslims believe that. So those Muslims at that conference would be considered moderate unless they were ideologically aligned to extremist groups
