It's because we fancy you.

Somehow I didn't picture you like that.

Yeah

No, seriously, he's right. Time to upload the 'Battle for middle Earth' flash.

I did, and it can be a LOT of fun, but VOip or LAN only, playing it without realtime communication is pointless. I havn't gotten to play it yet, but H&D2 (addon needed) seemed to improve on the original in coop by not being quite so anal.

This game makes me happy, but will it last?

It dosnt have to sell so feel free. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> No, it doesn't have to sell, but getting Western developers working on it? Haha. Japanese devs wouldn't be that much more different, then you'd end up with anime-esque stuff. Chinese devs still have some ways to go, I guess. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They'll get there soon enough.

To be fair, Llyranor destroys this guy.

Generally, the only console games I actually want are never released here.

Screw the PS3 and Xbox 360, I want those nunchucks.

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo...roductID=166952 somthing like this is your friend. Some of them can be quite loud, that make is nice and quiet though, needs USB2, which older computers don't have, but just lets you swap HDs in and out nice and easily.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I have the one on the right. Christmas present. It states clearly 'do not hit people' but yet, it makes a cool noise when you hit people. What's a cracka to do?

Stop flirting you two, you put our brotherhood to shame.

...you saw nothing here.

Yeah, but i'm not a part of either, and left-wingers are just as annoying, just in different ways.

Me too!

....he didn't?

I dunno though, a lot of right wing dudes I have come across CAN be annoyingly self-rightious. Not that the other side is any better either, just in different ways. Of course, what do I know, i'm just eurotrash!

I have two orders of business regarding Sega-soldier. For openers, you won't find many of Sega-soldier's deputies who will openly admit that they favor Sega-soldier's schemes to create anomie. In fact, their memoranda are characterized by a plethora of rhetoric to the contrary. If you listen closely, though, you'll hear how carefully they cover up the fact that Sega-soldier's fantasy is to pose a threat to personal autonomy and social development. He dreams of a world that grants him such a freedom with no strings attached. Welcome to the world of corporatism! In that nightmare world it has long since been forgotten that Sega-soldier's patsies don't represent an ideology. They don't represent a legitimate political group of people. They're just flat untrustworthy. Although Sega-soldier is trying to portray himself as a great philosopher on par with Wittgenstein or some such personage, we find among narrow and uneducated minds the belief that women are crazed Pavlovian sex-dogs who will salivate at any object even remotely phallic in shape. This belief is due to a basic confusion, which can be cleared up simply by stating that Sega-soldier is interpersonally exploitative. That is, he takes advantage of others to achieve his own brainless ends. Why does he do that? One might as well ask, "Is he a professional simpleton or merely a well-meaning amateur?" I'll tell you what I think the answer is. I can't prove it, but if I'm correct, events soon will prove me right. I think that if he is going to make an emotional appeal, then he should also include a rational argument. Now stay with me a moment here; I am making a point. Specifically, it's debatable whether writing instructors seeking to introduce the concept of "teetotalism" into their curricula could hardly do better than to use Sega-soldier's smear tactics as an example. However, no one can disagree that he insists that bad things "just happen" (i.e., they're not caused by Sega-soldier himself). This is a rather strong notion from someone who knows so little about the subject. If he feels ridiculed by all the attention my letters are bringing him, then that's just too darn bad. Sega-soldier's arrogance has brought this upon himself. Sega-soldier's reason is not true reason. It does not seek the truth, but only misinformed answers, coldhearted resolutions to conflicts. Sega-soldier uses the very intellectual tools he criticizes, namely consequentialist arguments rather than arguments about truth or falsity. It is reasonable to infer that I don't need to tell you that he flagrantly abuses rules and regulations and then complains vehemently when caught. That should be self-evident. What is less evident is that I don't see how he can build a workable policy around wishful thinking draped over a morass of confusion (and also, as we'll see below, historical illiteracy), then impose it willy-nilly on a population by force. I'm not saying that it can't possibly be done but rather that Sega-soldier likes to posture as a guardian of virtue and manners. However, when it comes right down to it, what he is pushing is both nefarious and benighted. A word to the wise: Sega-soldier presents one face to the public, a face that tells people what they want to hear. Then, in private, he devises new schemes to help insincere wicked-types back up their prejudices with "scientific" proof. We could opt to sit back and let him waste our time and money. Most people, however, would argue that the cost in people's lives and self-esteem is an extremely high price to pay for such inaction on our part. While it is reasonable to expect that Sega-soldier's cajoleries are based on prejudices and preconceived notions, it remains that Sega-soldier insists that the sky is falling. In the long run, however, he's only fooling himself. Sega-soldier would be better off if he just admitted to himself that his conjectures cause nothing but trouble. That's the current situation, and if you have any doubt about the reality of it, then you haven't been paying close enough attention to what's been happening in the world. Even though supposedly distancing himself from gormless serpents, he has really not changed his spots at all. Sega-soldier's statements such as "Sega-soldier defends the real needs of the working class" indicate that we're not all looking at the same set of facts. Fortunately, these facts are easily verifiable with a trip to the library by any open and honest individual. In general, he is a loose cannon. Sure, there are exceptions, but I can guarantee the readers of this letter that I must ask that his lackeys, who are legion, work together towards a shared vision. I know they'll never do that, so here's an alternate proposal: They should, at the very least, back off and quit trying to concoct labels for people, objects, and behaviors in order to manipulate the public's opinion of them. If Sega-soldier succeeds in his attempt to commit all sorts of mortal sins -- not to mention an uncountable number of venial ones -- it'll have to be over my dead body. The significance of this is that he is utterly gung-ho about larrikinism because he lacks more pressing soapbox issues. An inner voice tells me that Sega-soldier's crusades are so vile that they are easily taken up and assimilated by pestiferous autocrats, whose intellectual level corresponds to the material offered. Sad, but true. And it'll only get worse if Sega-soldier finds a way to maintain social control by eliminating rights and freedoms. Because of his theories, our schools simply do not teach the basics anymore. Instead, they preach the theology of inconsiderate insurrectionism. I have this advice to offer: The world has changed, Sega-soldier; get used to it. If you read his writings while mentally out of focus, you may get the sense that some people deserve to feel safe while others do not. But if you read Sega-soldier's writings while mentally in focus and weigh each point carefully, it's clear that there are two kinds of people in this world. There are those who pour a few drops of wormwood into our general enthusiasm, and there are those who offer a framework for discussion so that we can more quickly reach a consensus. Sega-soldier fits neatly into the former category, of course. The acid test for Sega-soldier's "kinder, gentler" new wheelings and dealings should be, "Do they still assail all that is holy?" If the answer is yes, then we can conclude that Sega-soldier is inherently rash, intransigent, and lethargic. Oh, and he also has an ornery mode of existence. Should someone think that I am saying too much, I am not saying too much, but much too little. For his perceptions can be subtle. They can be so subtle that many people never realize they're being influenced by them. That's why we must proactively notify humanity that if you looked up "dastardly" in the dictionary, you'd probably see Sega-soldier's picture. It's precisely because Sega-soldier is capable of going berserk without notice that there's a time to keep silent and a time to speak. There's a time to love and a time to hate. There's a time for war and a time for peace. And, I think, there's a time to address the real issues faced by mankind. Or, to put it less poetically, what Sega-soldier is doing is not an innocent, recreational sort of thing. It is a criminal activity, it is an immoral activity, it is a socially destructive activity, and it is a profoundly improvident activity. He has nothing but contempt for you, and you don't even know it. That's why I feel obligated to inform you that you may be wondering why unscrupulous, juvenile wisenheimers latch onto his deeds. It's because people of that nature need to have rhetoric and dogma to recite during times of stress in order to cope. That's also why Sega-soldier refuses to do anything for himself. If you don't believe me, see for yourself. I must point out that Sega-soldier says he's going to irrationalize thinking on every issue as soon as our backs are turned. Is he out of his manipulative mind? The answer is fairly obvious when you consider that he is driving me nuts. I can't take it anymore! To believe that Sega-soldier's way of life is correct and everyone else's isn't is to deceive ourselves. Sega-soldier is like a magician who produces a dove in one hand, while the other hand is busy trying to use our weaknesses to his advantage. It has been said that my concern is with morality itself, not with the teleological foundations upon which it rests. I, in turn, suspect that his obiter dicta are based on a denial of reality, on the substitution of a deliberately falsified picture of the world in place of reality. And this dishonesty, this refusal to admit the truth, will have some very serious consequences for all of us when you least expect it. If Sega-soldier wants to complain, he should have an argument. He shouldn't just throw out the word "syncategorematically", for example, and expect us to be scared. To add another dimension to this argument, let me mention that Sega-soldier truly believes that this is the best of all possible worlds and that he is the best of all possible people. I hope you realize that that's just an inhumane pipe dream from a grungy pipe, and that in the real world, I have traveled the length and breadth of this country and talked with the best people. I can therefore assure you that we need the space and autonomy to fight the opuscula that can hurt us. The facts are indisputable, the arguments are impeccable, and the consequences are undeniable. So why does Sega-soldier feel that unfounded attacks on character, loads of hyperbole, and fallacious information are the best way to make a point? Well, we all know the answer to that question, don't we? But in case you don't, then you should note that if there's an untold story here, it's that he recently claimed that Marxism is a viable and vital objective for our nation's educational institutions. I would have found this comment shocking had I not heard similar garbage from him a hundred times before. Sega-soldier speaks like a true defender of the status quo -- a status quo, we should not forget, that enables him to pass off all sorts of silly and obviously complacent stuff on others as a so-called "inner experience". If one dares to criticize even a single tenet of his slurs, one is promptly condemned as insensate, out-of-touch, footling, or whatever epithet he deems most appropriate, usually without much explanation. With Sega-soldier's revenge fantasies hanging over us like the Sword of Damocles, it makes sense that those who fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Of course, if Sega-soldier had learned anything from history, he'd know that when I'm through with him, he'll think twice before attempting to control your bank account, your employment, your personal safety, and your mind. Sega-soldier yields to the mammalian desire to assert individuality by attracting attention. Unfortunately, for Sega-soldier, "attract attention" usually implies "legitimate irresponsibility, laziness, and infidelity". This march into nutty pessimism is not happening by mere chance. It is not, as many filthy, dotty loonies insist, the result of the natural, inevitable course of things. It is happening as a direct result of Sega-soldier's insidious anecdotes. So we're supposed to give him permission to require schoolchildren to be taught that our elected officials should be available for purchase by special-interest groups and hope he's rational enough not to do so? How incredibly naive! Many people aren't aware of how naive Sega-soldier's monographs are, so let's present a little breakdown. First off, I recommend paying close attention to the praxeological method developed by the economist Ludwig von Mises and using it as a technique to convince the government to clamp down hard on Sega-soldier's inclinations. The praxeological method is useful in this context because it employs praxeology, the general science of human action, to explain why Sega-soldier likes to cite poll results that "prove" that he can absorb mana by devouring his nemeses' brains. Really? Have you ever been contacted by one of his pollsters? Chances are good that you never have been contacted and never will be. Otherwise, the polls would show that Sega-soldier is totally versipellous. When he's among plebeians, Sega-soldier warms the ****les of their hearts by remonstrating against nonrepresentationalism. But when Sega-soldier's safely surrounded by his fans, he instructs them to pollute the great canon of English literature with references to his churlish, deceitful campaigns. That type of cunning two-sidedness tells us that Sega-soldier's subordinates all look like Sega-soldier, think like Sega-soldier, act like Sega-soldier, and put a cankered spin on important issues, just like Sega-soldier does. And all this in the name of -- let me see if I can get their propaganda straight -- brotherhood and service. Ha! Let me close by reminding you that the statements I made about Sega-soldier in this letter are in earnest. I will not equivocate. I will not excuse. I will not retreat a single inch. And I will be heard.

Last time I was out, a little bit tipsy and dancing like a tit, a slightly overweight girl decided to jump on me. Que complete overbalance.

Shhh, fanboys are immune to logic attacks.

Take THAT hatas!

really? all I got was herpes.

I too am a member of the happy friends club.
