No, no one is suggesting that. But why would you want to join a female only group where they specifically ask that only females are part of?

http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2014/05/07/womens-only-groups-star-citizen/#more-205659 Guys here is a really good article explaining how lady gamers can join exclusive groups if they want in Star Citizen, this is a good news story around an aspect of social justice

Have you been doing drugs recently? Well he does live in the Netherlands...so the answer is obviously

Why not? And the reality of your country's natural landscape is like some nightmarish apocalyptic continent anyway....hellish deserts....poisonous and deadly creatures....weird and defensive sub-groups of people, so it would be very easy to identify with ...

They'll flee from that Western force and wait them out, they know they won't be around forever so that might not work. In terms of nabbing/killing specific people sure, but not quite fighting a limited war like this will need. Army SF probably will be useful, part of their job is training snakes to kill other snakes. I think a division of the 101 st airborne should to the trick?

That's interesting, the voting turnout figures for this South African election is 58 %.... which isn't bad ?

The high priest of the black ant tribe prayed to Woldan to aid them against the heathen red ant invaders.... alas, Woldan did not heed their prayers! That cracked me up

Holy smoke, that's a comprehensive list

That's the first time I have read that blog and I think Gaider makes some excellent points and I agree with most of them I do think some of the dislike of the Twilight series comes from the fact that the majority of the fans seen to be younger females but if it was, for example, teenager boys who loved Star Trek it would be more acceptable to say " I loved Star Trek" without being criticized Personally I thought Twilight was fun to watch, not great but entertaining enough. I also thought that there implementation of Romance was believable and reasonable ( but to be honest I didn't watch the last 2 Twilight movies )

I played Bloodlines about 4 years ago so I cant give much relevant or updated advice but I do remember the various vampire women from the clans being smoking hot

Delta Force is a very effective unit of the USA special forces but I don't think they would get involved due to the politics. But its quite possible there advisors could give invaluable advice on the right strategy?

Personally, I would love to see Obsidian make a Fallout game(like NewVegas) set in the ruins of New York City. Would be worth it to see Deathclaws infesting Madison Square Garden. I'd be interested to see Europe for a change. That's still uncharted territory. I don't know if I would. Quite a bit of the setting of Fallout is tied to the American 50's, Cold War paranoia especially, and I don't know if it would work as well in Europe. That said, a Fallout(or Fallout-esqe game) set in London, Paris, Berlin, or Madrid would be pretty interesting. Ehm, but I fear this might be slightly off-topic in this thread, unless BioWare is making a post-apocalyptic game? Come to think of it, the Berlin wall could make for a nicepost-apocalyptic Romeo and Juliet story, what do you think Bruce? You know my views on Romance, "basically any Romance is a good Romance "

True but I think many people prefer a game world that they are familiar with. That's why worthwhile sequels do so well

Maybe, or you could argue a temporary effective Western military force that defeats Boko Haram and then leaves the country, like in Mali and Sierra Leone. My point is there are success stories in the African context around Western intervention

My view is a generational change over decades. Influence the government. Influence it in ways that are beneficial to the people as well as the government. I listed many examples of the problems with Nigeria. Solving one isn't going to change the culture when there's 50 other arguably more heinous things going on. Through this generational change, after say 20 years, you'll probably see a different Nigeria than what we have now. I base my own experience and the experience of living in Australia with generational changes that have been introduced over the last 30 years. Things we do today, the way most people think, how people are treated are a lot different to how it was 20 or 30 years ago. Even simple things like local councils giving two bins to each household, conditioning people to place their plastic bottles, paper, cardboard boxes into one bin and everything else in the other bin. Through distributing local pamphlets to households, advertising on TV, etc. That really didn't happen 30 years ago. Or even 20 years ago in a lot of places. But it's normal now and it would be odd for a lot of people not to do it. That's just one example of how you can condition and change people. Generational change. Just don't expect a magic bullet to fix Nigeria in 1 or 2 years. You raise some good points but most people aren't trying to change the Nigerian culture, even though social issues do need to be addressed. This type of change would take years as you mentioned The issue at hand is much simpler. Its the fact that Boko Haram has been able to operate for the last few years within the borders of north eastern Nigeria with relative impunity. They have become emboldened by the lack of effectiveness of the Nigerian military forces So you need to confront them and defeat them militarily, basically destroy there ability to operate. So what is the best way to do this? I still say give operational authority to Western countries to do this as they have a proven track record in several African countries. Of course the Nigerian government needs to be behind this but based on the latest comments from them that shouldn't be an issue

Not really, considering the fact the Nigerian government is now officially asking for help from the international community its not unreasonable to realize that the issue is Boko Haram. And yes they do need to be sorted out

That's probably why your economy is so strong, we have loads of public holidays and unproductive days

But in this articular instance, you dismissed someone's statement not because of lack of factual evidence, but because they are ideologically opposed to you. I wonder, is the reverse of this true? Are you willing to accept something because someone you are ideologically aligned with stated it, even no proof to support it exists? If so, I would recommend reexamining how you form beliefs. No you misunderstand me, I shouldn't have just dismissed the article because the journalist is ideologically opposed to me. And I generally only support ideological comments based on proof and what I know is true. And normally this is not a problem because the evidence is clear and aligned to my ideological view. For example the statement that the referendum in Crimea wasn't free or fair is true not just because the EU and the USA said so ( and I stand almost all the time aligned ideologically with them ) but because of all the other evidence such as the actually limited questions that were asked and that fact that certain segments of the Crimean population boycotted the referendum, like the Tatars

Hugely important day today in South Africa, its our election day and a public holiday. I am thankful and appreciative for many things since the end of Apartheid. One of the main things is the fact we can have a free and fair election. Its a basic tenant of country that strives to be a true Democracy Anyway I'm voting tonight at 7 pm

In my view yes it is. I have followed the ideological perspectives of the neocons since the invasion of Iraq. I would consider there opinions on matters as relevant as the Tea Party which is not very relevant at all. So you view proof as less important than ideology. That certainly explains a lot. Look at you..catching me out with logic. Well played Sir !!! No you right, ideological view is important to me but proof is obviously more important. So let me rephrase " I generally don't take what neocons say seriously "

Okay no PC version, that's why I haven't heard of it. I generally only follow PC gaming development or games that I am desperate to get ported to PC like GTA V

In my view yes it is. I have followed the ideological perspectives of the neocons since the invasion of Iraq. I would consider there opinions on matters as relevant as the Tea Party which is not very relevant at all.

Heh, the only visible comment from the author of the article is too funny. He admits he has no proof, but still goes on with the original point. Frankly, I'd take the opinion of neocons with a cinderblock of salt, as they aren't happy unless the US is bombing or invading someone. I didn't realize the journalist was a neocon, if so then his views are irrelevant Bruce, why am I not surprised that you would dismiss someone you previously agreed with(sans evidence of their claims) because you find out they are politically contrary to your beliefs. That's the last time I support your opinion KP, all it does is get me criticized But there is no contradiction around my change of view. Forbes is a credible website but the neocons aren't. I didn't realize the journalist was a neocon so I would naturally distance myself from there political perspective. People are allowed to do that, that's what honest political discussion is about young grasshopper. You should be allowed to say "on further reflection I don't agree with that source of information" Intransigence around our views on these forums is one of the things you complain about. You should be happy I admitted I was wrong

As mentioned 100 K sales numbers would not be considered a successful sales number. I am guessing they will sell between 800K - 1 million copies
