Well, this table shows the US have given $114 Billion to Isreal since its inception in 1949 thru 2008, so roughly 1/10 of the proposed TRILLION dollar cost of UHC over 10 years. Funny indeed.

Screenshots on GameBanshee. Just go to their article and then the link, since it seems that linking from this forum (like funcroc did) doesn't work. Check the bottom of the blog for in-game screenshots. Cool, thanks guys. Oddly, those last four pics didnt show when I clicked funcroc's link.

Did I miss a link? Where can I see the signs?

Duh. Why would you bother to link it if nobody can access it?

"Mature content filter on"...."Forbidden entry" and so on and so forth.

I read that as the preorder just starts you out with four repair kits vs starting with zero repair kits. I cant imagine that would be the only four reapir kits in the entire game.

I respect your dedication into researching your craft.

Sherlock Holmes Great flick and I really enjoyed it, even if it was slightly too long. Watson was outstanding.

So how does Steam work? Is it always "on", running in the background even when your not playing whatever game that required it? Or is it an on/off service that is activated when you play the game in question but then turns off when you exit the game?

Wait, the hounds are the ones that kill the foxes? Huh, I thought they just cornered the foxes then the guys on horseback came and shot them. Instead they are ripped to shreds by dogs? Nasty. Doesnt even sound like hunting, more sitting around drinking while your dog hunts for you. Obviously its not for the "sport" since the humans dont have anything to do with it.

Thanks for the answers Taviow and WUE, that doesnt sound too bad. @Enoch: Wasnt that only for the DLC?

So obviously that indicates the need for an always-on connection, right? It cant track you if it isnt on. Meh, this combined with the still present bad taste in my mouth from my bug riddled NWN II experience (which already had my sitting on the fence regarding this game) is almost a deal breaker for me. Guess Ill wait to see how it pans out. EDIT: Just saw your edit. Double meh. EDIT2: It doesnt address whether or not you will always have to be online to track achievements but there isnt any other way is there?

Its not the DRM thats an issue, I really dont care about that, I just dont want unnecessary bloat on my PC. If it was simply the disk calling home upon the first install I would be cool with that but I dont need some third party crap monitoring my every move while playing. You know, so they can track my achievement for me.

Does that mean even if I buy it from a store I will be forced to sign up for Steam? That sucks, Id rather not have that crap on my shiny new rig.

Isnt there also one in BG II that will continue to spawn enemies until you reach the end of the tunnel?

Well, yeah, but you have to get there by sea first if your coming from that direction. Hence their naval blockade.

Huh? Havent you read the preceeding pages with links upon links of starving children and nuns? It could even be argued that Egypt is MORE responsible since far more goods can be carried over land then sea.

Lol @ Iran "Revolutionary Guard" naval units. Unless they want to see what their ships look like on the bottom of the ocean I think they better go rattle their sabres at someone less capable then the Israelies. Also, Im curious, where is the rending of cloth and knashing of teeth over the fact that Egypt has maintained the land blockade of Gaza all these years? Oh right, they arent Israel.

Knowing A semi interesting plot that throws up all over itself with f-ing

That was badass.

Yeah women always try to "fix" a guy. They cant help it, its in their DNA. On the bright side, you have company, a tidy home and someone paying half the bill. Once you get buff you can flex for her and woo her into her boudoir. Win win.

Invisible enemies? What planet do you live on?

Yes, that is correct.
