I used to be a ban-magnet without even trolling, nowadays Im a good lad with only one temporary bioban on me record.

I payed 211 SEK inlcuding shipping which is around 35dollars. But the resurrecting oneself and others, I didnt get a manual just the CDs so I honestly dont know. Are there any harmful effects of any kind or is it just to waking up and be up and about again? Most other games Ive played has punishments for resurrection(loss of spells, ep, traits, etc.) does TNO forget things every time he dies and returns?

I got the game yesterday after the auction going thorugh the roof resulting in me having to dosh out big bucks for it. I really enjoy it even if the massive dialouges sometimes make me feel like im playing one of those old book-adventures of the 80's one question; do you take somekind of punishment when dying and rising again? Like Exp disapearing, traits lowered, NPC relations breaking etc?

But the tritium(heavy water) or normal coolant wouldnt be radioactive or even toxic with fusion so I still say it could be built in the middle of a city with little harm. Sure, it could go up in flames and rather spectacular flames but it would be no explosion or nastiness.

to adress the original question: After Iraq it would take a PR miracle do get the public opinion to sway in favor of yet another war. But, on the other hand history proves that what the people of a country thinks may have very little bearing on the actions of their goverment. A new war would have significant advantages for the rightwing too. A high-profile war fought with smart bombs and technology would not only generate massive revenue for the hightech and arms indutry, it would also serve to divert the attention from Iraq just like with Afghanistan. I give it two years before they make their next move. Iran is a probable target but I belive the target will be a lesser country in the oil regions of northwest asia, one distant enough from Russia not to provoke.

Given that Fusion is theoreticly completely clean(just hydrogen and helium) you could place it anywhere. China is the best alternative since they really need the power to keep up with the development of their society.

Well, the thing is I have yet too se any reporter from what you would call "leftie" network, argue with a guest when she states unwelcome facts. Its just the kind of unproffessional bullying that FOXnews is known for. And another thing, that this is an example of; when you see a "leftie" critizise the goverment they do it proper backup by facts, but when the "righties" go after the lefts- they do it with nothing but emtpy rethorics. example: left "Bush spends 40 million dollars on his inaugeration party when soldiers in Iraq lack proper equipment" right "But the ceremony was for celebrating democracy and freedom, and you cant say democracy and freedom is bad." edit: its 40000000, not 40.

Believing Gas powered Games can make a good RPG, is like believing pigs can fly. -

not bloody likely. -
I made the mistake of going there and reading beyond the last ones and.. ARGH! ze spoilers!! zeh goggles do nothing!! I restrained myself not to read all of it, but what I did read was alot more than I bargained for. What is the point of releasing a large portion of the story of the game long before the official PC release?

The problem is that when they claim to be "Fair and unbiased", some poeple might actually believe them.

Isnt the biggest issue that FOXnews slogan is "Fair and unbiased news" when it really should be "Rightwing news for rightwing people"? "

Today I was doing a little tv study regarding the coverage of Condolezza Rices hearing. What I found that all the major channels cut the hearing at vital points in this order FOX- cut in the middle of Rice's defense statement CNN- cut right before Boxer replied to Rice BBC- cut in the middle of Boxers reply So what does this mean? Its selective editing, basicly. The bottom two most likely cut due to time constraints where FOX cut right after Rice had delivered her best material. so FOX viewers heard(this isnt exact quotes) "We didnt go to war over aluminum tubes. This was all about a larger picture of Saddam Hussein having clear ties to international terorism" whereas CNN viewers also heard "I agree the foreign policy of the 80s where we supported some regimes was not a good thing" and BBC viewers got to hear a little "Doctor Rice, youre contradicting yourself. You clearly stated the aluminium tubes were clear evidence of Iraqs possesion of WMDs" Do you see how you can manipulate news even without altering or commenting the content?

Their second album has been re-released by Mellotronen and theres also a boxed set with lots of goodies. Either record on second-hand vinyl is atleast 500kr but you could download some mp3's, the second album "fl

That news can never be truly truthful or objective is a sad reality. It can however try to be, and not just become a tool of discreet propaganda. Reminds me of about a year ago we(5 of us) got in a bit of a row at a bar(because we were wearing drag and it was a hick place). The bouncers threw 3 of us out and then the police came and arrested two of the girls just for not shutting up. nothing else happened. well, except for the cops calling 3 more cars for backup for no apparent reason. we went home and the cops released the girls with a warning. The day after I read in the paper "30 youths stormed and vandalized a local restaurant, police was called and managed to break it off" WTF!!??

I have FOXnews so I watch it from time to time. I just find everything to have this condesending undertone of "There goes the cooky liberals again..ho ho ho". And they use the same technique to counter less-rightwing news material such as "Well, thats what that nut John Doe says. No sensible person would belive that." Its just ugly tactics, thats what it is. CNNs news are definetly right-tinted compared to euro newschannels.

Aw, behave! Buying a thingamajig to protest against Rupert Murdochism is not censorship!!! You could just not watch FOXnews, but the idea of foxblocker is to show FOX that people are willing to put up money NOT to watch their biased crap. Now I dont think FOX gives a sh*t so the effort is wasted IMO, but some might give them a B- for effort. ...and if anyone actually considers CNN middle-ground or even left... I dont know, its laughable in its tragedy
-
But, gee! Why would anyone want to do that? I mean, FOXnews is such an informative and wonderfully unbiased news channel! Unlike those left-wing conspiracy theorist nuts at CNN.

Well, since you dont even know whats going on in your country, its no surprise you havent got us in check. Just go by the following albums Bo Hansson- Lord of the rings Fl

The Swedish music industry turnover is counted in billions and ABBA hasnt been a part of it for 30 years, so there is evidetly more to us than meets the danish eye. I dont listen to mainstream music so I cant name any bands but the non-mainstream genres arent doing to bad either, apparently Dungen(although hes the diet-pepsi of proggressive) is #10 on the bilboard. And people are paying HUGE sums of money for old vinyls of Swedes like Fl

Lets say that A. has a very good and thouroughly thought out concept/script for an RPG or Adventure game, one that A. cannot possibly make himself or as a mod project with others. Where would he send it? And *should* he send it, and not just wait and see what happens in the next 10 or 20 years? Have you ever heard of a publisher or a studio taking up on something like this like film companies do? I havent. From my experience companies are usually so boiling already with creative potential that they dont need, or want to, work with ideas from the outside.

Consoles are robbing us PC users of good games and ruining games that are multi-platform. They must be stopped or put back to only making stupid actions/sports games that nobodys interested in ayway. Had a Nintendo 8bit system when I was a kid, thats as far as Ill ever go with consoles. *bitter*
