  1. Yeah, but are you going to USE your lunchbox? I am. I actually need one.
  2. What do you know about international law? Jus in Bello? Jus ad Bellum? Syria has throughout recent history engaged in acts of Cassus Belli. There are many things wrong with the US foreign policy as perpetrated by G.W. Bush, but I hardly think that this ranks highly on that list.
  3. Yeah, it'd be nice if all sovereign nations behaved and treated each other with respect and follow the teachings of Bill and Ted. That's not how the world works, and the Syrian government certainly does not respect the sovereignty of other states. I don't have all the facts or intelligence of what exactly happened, and I'm certainly no fan of Dubya Bush, and though as unfortunate it is to have the deaths of non-combatants and civilians, as well as other collateral damage, it is the prerogative of the US government to go after a legitimate terrorist target when the intelligence is accurate, and steps are taken that will reduce the amount of unnecessary deaths.
  4. You realize you're talking abut Syria here, right? Granted, their government isn't exactly Hezbollah, but still...
  5. Maybe they'll construct new pre-fabs and loan them out for ME 2 and 3 so there will be better variety.
  6. I am a weak person. I have very low expectations for Fallout 3. So, I pre-ordered the Survival Edition. For the PC. AND XBOX 360. Thinking that that was overkill, I canceled the PC order. I'm still regretting my purchase, but I do want the lunchbox and bobblehead... (I did restart Fallout last night though.) Coincidentally, Chris Avellone wrote a new forward to the Fallout Bible for the GOG edition
  7. Cover up? Umm, no he didn't.
  8. Wait. I thought Hades, who was Visceris, became 6 Foot Invisible Rabbit. And Killian was Sand.
  9. Since we all know that it will be the KotOR MMORPG, and anything else is delusional denial, I'll just pre-emptively pose these questions: 1) How will this game fit in the storyline as told in K1 and K2? 2) Will we see Bastilla Shan? HK-47? Carth Onassi?? And all the others? 3) Can we be Jedi? Sith? 4) Can we be a Mandalorian Clansman? 5) What role will starships play? Can we fly freighters and fighters? 6) What of the continuity from the comic books? Will we see Qel-Dromas, Sunriders, and Carricks? 7) When will it come out?
  10. The Coater Mumorpuhguh?
  11. Powell argued emphatically, behind the scenes, against Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, et al, against the invasion of Iraq, but in the end was unable to convince Bush to see reason. After he lost, Powell, being the good soldier that he always has been, put on his public face stood behind the President's decision. Despite being the public face behind making the case to invade Iraq, Powell retains alot of his popularity in this country. Americans have always seen him as a person of integrity, and worthy of respect. His favorability numbers are as high as any public figure in politics. He has broad appeal to a wide range of the voting public, whether Democrat, Republican, or Independent. He's not exactly someone that would be easy to demonize as a target for character assassination.
  12. Heh. You know, if some of this stuff wasn't completely made up...it wouldn't be half bad.
  13. The thing is, James Ohlen has an amazing track record of designing really good, and FUN games that are in many ways, achieve goals different from each other. The BG Series - The classic party-based tactical combat simulator with dialogue and plot. NWN - Bringing PnP DnD online. KotOR - Cinematic rpg that captures the essence of what makes Star Wars fun. More than any individual crpg designer out there, I think whatever he touches turns to gold.
  14. I may have to play my first Mammorpehguh when this comes out.
  15. Are the Sharpe movies good? I've read every one of the books, they were fantastic. Watched The Sharpes series back in the nineties on A&E. I remember them being really good. I've always wanted to get the DVDs, but they are insanely expensive. We're talking anime prices.
  16. The intro for Mass Effect is really good.
  17. From what I understand, The Creative Assembly specifically hired a modder from the community to work for them and test out and improve battlefield and campaign AI, as well as unit balancing.
  18. Old School Ninja Gaiden.
  19. The noteworthy mods have already been mentioned for Rome and M2. I'll add the XL mod to the list for the original Medieval.
  20. I'm praying that McCain doesn't croak after he's elected.

    China did it

    I like a little nationalism here and there. Of course, it helps when my country is the greatest in the world.

    China did it

    Team USA (men's and women) botched their handoffs in the 4x100m relay. C'MON People. It's not that damn hard to pass the baton cleanly in the zones. Jeeze. Fire the coaches.

    China did it

    Yeah, that is impressive. The only other person that did that was Michael Johnson in 96 when he went 19.32. I'm an MJ loyalist, so I won't recognize Bolt's feats until the drug testing results have been posted.
  24. This Alabama?
