Drowsy Emperor

Well it would cost me 40E with customs. Still 10E cheaper than what I can get it for here. Is that the german language version?

At this point in time that is wholly irrelevant.

So is there anyone who actually plays SCII multiplayer?

Yeah, the gay thing Gaider's got going there is just disturbing.

I used to be pretty funny! I think the bot malfunctioned. Aw you're still funny teach

Cheesus I have seen things you people wouldn't believe

That's what I though. That makes sense then, things could for Bethesda get unpleasant and costly if "scrolls" gets trademarked. Its a hypothetical situation but still problematic (from their pov).

I think its not a question of kindness but fear of further escalation if some the rioters get killed. I've seen it happen here as well. Police numbers shrink, while cities at the same time go through a massive population boom so when a full blown riot erupts there is no way to stop it without resorting to extremes which would make the situation even worse. So they essentially let the thing run its course and try to limit the damage.

Rioters seem to be made up of Chav's, and Black folk far as I can tell. So its a poverty thing. ...Ah you said that already.

What is the ethnic composition of the rioters and Tottenham in general.

So the whole brouhaha is that Notch tried to trademark "Scrolls" for game purposes and Bethesda opposed it? Maybe it's me being a lawyer, but that seems like a pretty ****ing reasonable reaction from them. Don't think "scrolls" is/should be trademarkeable. If they can keep someone from trademarking it doesn't that mean they practically trademarked it themselves? I'm not a trademark specialist, but if I understand it correctly it means that you are the only one who can do a particular type of trade under that name (franchise/company name). If you can't get it trademarked it "just" means everybody else can use it too. There seems to be a growing resistance towards letting obvious common day items be registered as trademarks. There seems to be some weird rules about defending your trademarks too, sort of "use it or lose it" and possibly forfeiting it if you don't contest other entities' use of it (waiting for a lawyer to stop by and clarify). But the Bethesda trademark is "Elder Scrolls", how can they even propose to keep someone from using a general English term like "Scrolls"?

London calling to the underworld.... The song that plays when you turn on your Blackberry.

Not wholly unexpected given the economic situation.

Ah, well, that I can understand. I'm just waiting for that one last grand RTS/RPG/FPS game to play before I retire. That makes 3 games actually, but you get my drift. Musing// One less if you count the first Witcher as the last word of creative fantasy RPG's. Half Life 3 and Homeworld 3 perhaps as the other two. Fitting somehow as Half Life was the first game I bought.

After doing the things you did with FNV, I'm hardly surprised you're losing interest

So I take it you like your new job at Blizzard PR? Valve not handing out peanuts anymore?

Yup. But it does matter to me. I don't base my purchases on what "everyone else" is going to do. But in the end you'll have your principles and "everyone else" will have a ton of fun That is, if you really really want to play the game in the first place.

IGN doesn't give below 8 to AAA titles. Its against company policy.

Multiplayer is divided into co-op, which is fun (you play the campaign together or against each other), then normal battles (unit selection and fighting) and then clan warfare, where you have to conquer a Japan in a risk like game and the battles are then resolved by the clans fighting them. Sweet. Pity I can't run it.

The AI is still a little retarded but it's much better than the previous game (especially in the campaign). I played a about 50 hours after release and then I haven't really touched it since. It has the charm of the old game, but it's a little too short (200ish turns) and there aren't really any good mods yet - which is what keeps me playing. Have you tried the mulitplayer and whats it like? Is it just unit selection and battle or can you play a campaign game as well?

Has anyone played the new Total War Shogun? I'd like to know what the battle AI is like this time around. The last game I played in the series Medieval II had totally retarded battle AI.

That sounds more like Lemmings.

Not really. I played "Another World" when it was new on the Amiga, but I haven't tried any of his games since. "Another Word" was a rather unique experience though. I played Another World and Heart of Darkness back in the day but this is a bit strange, even for me. It looks like a third person populous type god game, but as to how it works I've no idea. The Xbox360 version is already out...

Can someone enlighten me as to what this is? http://store.steampowered.com/app/33460/
