Kaftan Barlast

First of all, cheeseburgers are friggin' awesome and I can have as many as I want. Secondly, I totally do not look finnish. Finns are pale, swollen from cold and br

Oh dear, I didnt think it was legal to look like that in Britain. Have you considered going all-in and getting a proper mullet and chaps? :D

jus' doin some wicked IRL trolling at some lame exhibition

Its just strange that a game that plays so well and looks so good gets really low scores. Unless the 360 and PS3 version are horrible somehow, which I cant imagine theyd be. The lack of minigames is not a reason to lower the score from a 9 to a 7.

TL;DR

Alpha protocol was a substandard game that was way too flawed to ever have a hope of making a profit. Mafia 2 is a friggin' 9/10 solid game. So the author opf the article pretty much pulled that out of his ass. Ive read on IGN that Mafia 2 sold four times as many copies as the original in just the first week.

$50 yes, but not

HL2 was quite mediocre gameplay-wise, and not quite cutting edge in the technology department either. It's like what happened with Bioshock, sometimes a game gets this massive hype for no reason.

The Assassins Creed games have the same thing, big open world but no minigames or whatever and no one complained about that. And its not empty either, you have very good crowd and traffic systems that really makes you believe you're driving around a real city. Oh, and it looks awesome

Personally, I think its brilliant to have this huge pretty city to muck about in without having it chock full of retarded minigames. It's a rock-solid game and if you buy into the smear campaign going on against it, then you're missing out on something really great. They're handing out 6's and 7's to a game that is a clear 9/10

You can unlock the euro steam version with a bit of proxy fiddling, and I have to say this game is brilliant. The mediocre review scores are probably due to 2K not bribing the media enough to get GTA4 like scores, because its just as good if not better. Its not as gigantic and detailed, but it looks and plays much better and the story is really good for a videogame.

I agree. A normal sane person would not throw a cat in the bin.

Does anyone know if the european version is available for pre-load?

There is none better.

Have any of you actually read the documents they're talking about? I went throuhg about 20 reports on operations in Afghanistan this year and the only people mentioned by name were those who must already be known to the taliban. Such as district governors, police chiefs etc. In an interview with Al-Jazeera, Assange said that he had been contacted by Australian intelligence with a warning that another intelligence service was planning a smear campaign against him http://english.aljazeera.net/news/europe/2...5529927326.html

Thing that suggest it was a setup: * This surfaced at a critical point in time, when the authorities handling WL's publishing permit would be most susceptible to public opinion. It also reached the media strangely quick, almost at the same time the arrest warrant was issued. * Apparently there was no evidence whatsoever, and the two girls have retracted their statements. It is highly unusual for a DA to withdraw an arrest warrant and close a case this quick. * The rapes were supposed to have ocurred last week, yet the girls waited to report this to the authorities until yesterday friday evening. Coincidentally, doing that will assure that the news item has maximum time to spread before the police could look into the incident and find out it was bogus. News that happen just before a weekend also tend to be noticed more since people are at home and have time to read papers and watch news. * There is no evidence that Julian Assange was anywhere near the two girls at the time the rapes are supposed to have happened. * The two girls initially denied knowing eachother reporting to the police friday evening, but later admitted they were friends. The older one of them has apparently changed her mind again, claiming she had no relationship with the other younger woman. This behaviour makes no sense except if it was to attempt to stall and obstruct the investigation.

The charges have now been officially withdrawn, depending on how well the 'foreign intelligence service' looks after its people, there may or may not be a purgery trial. And so far there havent been a single death linked to any document being published on Wikileaks. Its so just fear mongering from the US military, who are desperate to keep other incidents like the baghdad helicopter attack a secret. They have to get public opinion on their side, and that is the only valid argument that they have since no one is buying the 'national security' schtick anymore.

The DA has retracted the arrest warrant now, but Assange remains under suspicion. Theres speculation that it was a "honey trap" setup job by a foreign intelligence service. And the documents Wikileaks have made public are atleast 6 months old so their publication wont ruin any current operation. The accusations that wikileaks are to blame for civilian or miliary casualties are probably complete bogus. I believe its aboslutely essential that the general public is aware of just how dirty war really is, wether its screw-ups or intentional malevolence.

Imo, this is just a blatant attempt to undermine Wikileaks credibility and turn public opinion against them. With the trial against the pirate bay founders, it was clear the USA has the power to influence our judicial system, but this is just something out of a film. This is a critical point in time for wikileaks as they have recently applied for a swedish publishing license, which would mean their confidential sources and whistleblowers would be protected by swede and EU law.

I have Paypal as an option right above gift certificate?

I paid through paypal and it went very smoothly, but a friend of mine chose on of the other alternatives and got hijacked to some extremely dodgy russian scammy pay thing so he had to cancel his VISA card.
