It doesn't have any early bird tiers for people to go nuts over and the first tier that gives a copy of the game is at 35 bucks, they're asking for 900k without having anything to show for it, have a projected release date of 2020 and it really doesn't help that it is based on a (admittedly awesome) 1979 movie. I wish them all the best but I have a bad feeling about this campaign.

Looks like I'll have an Od Nua statue to complement my Darth Malgus "soon" .

Thanks for those alternative facts. Don't lie. Breitbart offers only flat facts, nothing more. Besides, everyone knows aborted fetuses get cooked into vaccinations that contain mercury and cause autism.

you didn't watch the video, did you? you can see inauguration crowd from start to finish. and again, nielsen ratings, and transit numbers also reinforced what were evident in the aerial images. gotta work hard to believe those alternative facts. come up with conspiracy theories. choose to believe photos from limited angles. ignore transit and nielsen and hotel and dress shop feedback. is what we were talking 'bout 'bove with people wanting to believe the outliers. either a dozen major media outlets, the dc transit authority and the nielsen folks is all in on the fix, Or... why work so hard? HA! Good Fun! Chemtrails, obviously.

I thought his IQ was unpresidented.

I'd argue that it already started with Bill Clinton. Some of the things that came to bite Obama in the arse where initiated by Clinton, but many people sort of overlook it because ol' Bill was popular and the economy ran well during his terms. Well, and cigars.

Yeah, whenver I read Breitbart I start to get tired of all the whining. Oh, wait, you're not talking about the articles on BB in general. Woops, my bad.

That's quite bizarre. Both Manning and Snowden leaked damning top secret material to the public - much about topics we quite frankly all knew or suspected were happening but would otherwise never have been publicly acknowledged. Sure, Manning could and possibly should have served the sentence in psychiatric care instead of prison but that's pretty much it (not taking Snowden's flight into account, obviously). In essence, you're probably just biased because Manning is going to go through gender reassignment or because you actually believed the hyped up bull**** about how Snowden's information endangered western allies and spies. Or both, perhaps. Not that you're alone in being of bizarre opinions here. I mean, obviously it was a-ok to leak Hitlery's e-mails after the DNC hack because we don't like the DNC, Obola or the establishment but if said establishment is torturing Iraqi civilians or spying on their own people then boo boo hell, time for some carnage for giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

Nongshim Shin Cup instant ramen. Quite possibly the best instant ramen around (at least amongst those easily available in teh "West").

Dude, there is nothing like Czechoslovakia for 24 years now Havel is Czech, not sure what that 'Chauchesko' is This fun dude, I suppose.

Not sure if someon else posted this before:

Finished the second season of The Man in the High Castle. Rufus Sewell and Joel de la Fuente continued to nail their role. Rufus Sewell is a tad distracting though. Does anyone else think he looks a bit like JE?

It isn't meaningless though, is it? Otherwise we wouldn't have several degrees of murder and manslaughter that all have one thing in common: Someone ended up dead, but the punishment is based upon intention/motive and culpability. No, degrees of murder are not differentiated by motive but by aggravating factors and the details of the crime. My wife dies under suspicious circumstances. I collect a $1M insurance payout. That is a potential motive IF there is evidence I committed the crime. If I have an alibi and no evidence links me to the crime it is STILL a motive but it can't be used against me alone. If it's proven I hired a hitman to take her out that is 1st degree murder. Not because I had a motive but because i had malice aforethought and planed the crime in advance. Once it's established I DID do it the deed motive is irrelevant. It's still 1st deg murder. If I shoved her down the stairs at home that is second degree murder. I didn't plan it ahead of time (or at least it couldn't be proven). Again, if there is proof I did the deed, motive is irrelevant. If I shove her and she trips over the table and cracks her head on the floor then it's manslaughter. You can't prove intent if I had a reasonable expectation my action would not lead to her death (lack of intent). Now take any of those examples and remove conclusive proof I did the deed. There is circumstantial evidence or incomplete evidence NOW my motive fo committing a crime becomes an issue. If I had a reason to do it coupled with some evidence I might have done it then it meets the standard for a criminal charge. To be perfectly honest I'm not sure one can untangle intent and reason for a crime this strictly but I do see you point.

It isn't meaningless though, is it? Otherwise we wouldn't have several degrees of murder and manslaughter that all have one thing in common: Someone ended up dead, but the punishment is based upon intention/motive and culpability.

Ever since it came out I tried - often and hard - to like Rebellion. The last time I tried was when it was released at GOG not too long ago. I... just can't get into it. There's something entirely off-putting in the game mechanics for me that I can't quite put my finger on, and this is coming from someone who actually enjoyed Master of Orion 3.

Just had some cream of pumpkin soup followed by toasted baguette and my mother's home-made chicken and goose liver spread with some figs and dates filled with cream cheese and red onions. Quite the, uh, hearty treat. I didn't even eat that much and feel like an overstuffed plush toy.

Sure, and the invasion of Iraq was because Saddam had weapons of mass destruction and he wanted to hurt muh daddy, right? Putin certainly isn't an angel but he is no worse than our NATO-buddy Erdogan and those nice Saudi royalty guys who regularily decapitate more people than the Islamic State.

Republicans don't seem to be fans of Russia (well or brown people either ). But Saudi is useful to them in some way in the game, maybe less going forward. Lies by the mainstream media. Lies, I tells you. LIES. "LMFAO R00fles"

There is only one Matrix movie, hence there is no way anyone has been recast. Anything else is a lie told by the machines.

But... but... X-Com: Apocalypse had a real time combat option, and it was significantly easier to win the game with it. Not to mention a truckload faster. Enemy amounts near the end really got ludicrous.

It did, with some parts of season 5 (Stannis' Battle of Winterfell hasn't happened in the book version yet but is very close) and much of season 6. It also confirmed one of the oldest fan theories.

You're awfully optimistic there with 2020.

I probably read the old Star Craft manual more often than I actually played the game. Wings of Liberty was really bad with messing up the story but Heart of the Swarm went wild with the reconning, what with a new home world for the Zerg, "primordial" Zerg versions of the units we have now (who were in the old manual lovingly described with their freaking place of origin and what they were before the Overmind assimilated them) and ehm... lots of other stuff I already repressed.

It was deer. Well, deer calf and to be perfectly specific saddle and tenderloin. Young venison runs a much smaller risk of being gamey and tough so the extra money is well spent - assuming one likes venison and has no problems with eating cute little baby deers.

First I hear that Baldur's Gate was tactical and now that Wings of Liberty had good dialogue. Does Western world consider Czech Republic inferior and we therefore get inferior versions of games or something? What is happening? No, there's just a difference between good dialogue and a good story - or good characters for that matter. In terms of storytelling Wings of Liberty was a disaster written by someone with the attention span of a mayfly: A convoluted patchwork of storylines barely two missions long stichted together with no regard for consistency, established lore or sense and a retroactively patched in lovestory that turned the badass marshall Jim Raynor into the hard drinking wild west emo pining after his lost love we got in Star Craft II (fun fact, the last time Raynor saw Kerrigan in Star Craft: Brood War he promised to kill her, not being beaten up about it at all). It also doesn't help that every, and really every decision you can make in Wings of Liberty is right. Some nice settler genocide? Yeah, sure, they all were infected anyway (and what the hell, Raynor fought that very thing in the first Star Craft, how would he every agree to the Protoss here, ah hell, never mind). Attacking your old protoss buddies? Sure, Dr. Feelgood came up with the cure in time. Buying Nova's Dominion propaganda? Yeah, Tosh really is a bastard, and so on and so forth. The presentation of the Wings of Liberty campaign and the dialogue itself were pretty good - and much better than what we got in Heart of the Swarm and Legacy of the Void. Legacy in particular was terrible, not only did we get fanfiction level storytelling but also ridiculous dialogue and terrible characters.
