Being a cynical bastard I would say that above statement is the pure effect of the Straussian notion of "necessary illusions to uphold a sense of national pride and purpouse" and " to propagate myths necessary to give ordinary people meaning and purpose as to ensure a stable society". In reality, the US is no more a bastion of freedom than any other democratic country like Canada or France or Finland.

Does anyone else share my dislike of d20?
Kaftan Barlast replied to Jediphile's topic in Pen-and-Paper Gaming
d20 is a bloody awful system, we only have it because most D&D nerds are too daft to comprehend other, more advanced and better systems. -
I havent played Wixardy 8 but I cant imagine anything worse than DD except Diablo and Dunegon Siege.

Yeah, I think thats where I got my ribbon. What I did was play a medic group chief and form a tank column with the rest of my squad, running from base to base clearing them and taking the flags. I wasnt actually driving the tank either, I handled the MG :D You cant really get anywhere by just running around and fragging people.

I shall not say it, but instead use the official international symbol of it

She's not?!! *rage* Upon this thread I declare shennaningans!!

THAT my good friend is the best one of them all; the Panzer badge :D awareded to yours truly for raping countless opponents in nothing but the best of good form, whilst operating a tank.

What is this thread doing in Off-Topic?

Reveilled> Damn, that would be really interesting to see. Id like to see how they explained the "magic bullet" thing. And debunking documentaries are always more entertaining than those building the case.

Yeah the loading times are pretty hefty, youd better pick what server to connect to carefully because connecting/disconnect/reconnect to new serves takes a good 4 minutes I think. And thats with 1gig of RAM ..but look at all me phat medals. :D
-
Damn this game and its pull. I had one hell of a winning streak this night, raped everyone. Got a ton of awards (w00t) Im so proud of the armour medal :">

Want to know what I think?

And a party of characters that are integrated ito the story helps a lot. And there are more one-man-army variety dungeon crawls Mkreku> weirdo. "

-Walter, what the f*ck's he talking about? -Beats me, dude.

No, I would say a party is a pretty vital part of an RPG. And its a sign of the quality of an RPG too, just look at it; all good CRPGs over the years have party-based playing while the stinkers usually doesnt. party-based: Fallouts Baldurs Gate Series Ps:T KoTORs single char Diablos Divine divinity Gothics

Again, I am reminded of tha mystery on how women can never retell intimate details without stepping well over the line. We men possess the ability to refer to the most intimate and explicit detail in trivial and easily digestible wording but when women try to do it, its always disgusting. Ill never forget at lunch in highschool when a female friend of mine tried to "get in with the lads" by telling some story of a period-related matter, subsequently making everyone within hearing range loose the apetite and nearly the part of the lunch they had previously eaten too.

Galas always suck. Its like festival giggs except the artists are even less concerned with giving a good show. They know its just 50000 smegheads out there who likes to pretend theyre helping someone while drinking beer. But do give us a few lines about Pink FLoyds gig, willya?

Obsidian Forums Diplomacy Game 1 (OBS-1)
Kaftan Barlast replied to Reveilled's topic in Pen-and-Paper Gaming
In the eve of War by Ludwig Rotwang, Berlin Armies from every major power in Europe is now on the march, warfleets of heavily armed cruisers and battleships patrol every sea. It would seem that Europe is now on the the very verge of outright war. Several of the smaller nations is now seeking support from greater nations, the latest in the line is Holland whose harbours are right now being patroled by the German heavy 1st fleet. A brief comment was issued by Kaiser Barlast yesterday; "What we are seeing now in Holland is no invasion, the presence of our fleet in Dutch harbours is to ensure the continued sovereignity of the nation against marauding Brittish or French forces." On foreign troops posing threat to Germany the Emperor replied; "Any nation whose armies cross the borders of our beloved fatherland will know the full retaliatory force of our armed forces. War will be declared on any aggressor who sets their foot upon German soil." The war Ministry has also in the days declared that the contruction of the new superheavy class battle ship "Donnerkind" will be completed this winter. Armed with 380mm guns, she will spearhead the new fleet protecting our northern coastlines. -
DD is very much a Diablo clone except it has more quests(which are usually of the formula of running around randomly until you stumble over the item you need). I played maybe 2/3 of it before I got sick of it. Its not really a RPG because you theres only one way to do things, you dont have a party and the dialouge options are nonexistant.

A brit who doesnt drink tea? *gasp* I dont drink coffee or tea either, Ive understood that its something you must force yourself to drink in your late teens and if you dont, you wont be able to enjoy it for the rest of your life.

*looks at HoI 2 cover* Thats a bit odd, a simple Iron Cross(only 2nd degree too) for the jerries but a full-fledged Medal of Honor for the yanks?
-
The whole BFHQ thingie where you get medals and stuff is just pure devilry. Once you start with that there's no turning back And Im doing surprisingly well at teh killing. (yes, Im suing Swedish menus, its really weird ingame because some of the commands arent well translated. There for instance "Sitt down"? I have no idea what thats supposed to be)
-
I dont even need a tank, a regular rocket launcher will do nicely ..but jeeps are by far the best chopper hunters, you can easily dodge their attacks after which they are completely open to that .50 cal MG :D
-
Yes, especially since nVidia pay them to. "nVidia, the way its meant to be played" anyone? My ATI card has given me enough trouble for me, Im buying a GeForce, after which I expect TLJ and every other game will work perfectly. Ive had it with games not working on my comp while my nVidia equipped friend just sail on by :angry:

What would you do if Aliens arrived and instead of being cool and mysterious, just tried to sell you lots of crap?
