  1. I can't recommend the books enough, they are to this day my favorite series. As for the Eye of the World, yeah he blatantly copied a lot of stuff in the first book ((one spoiler in the second example) though he might have not copied the works them selves but the source material), but by the end of it he makes the world his own and in book 2 it really takes off. Robert Jordan is an unparalleled world builder (well one of the best at least) and a foreshadower unlike any other, plus to this day I have not read a work by an author that portrays battles and conflicts better them him(or at least give me goosebumps). The culminations in his books is what kept me reading the most, he would build and build and build the story and the payoff he would give you in the end is like no other. Some would say it's like going through mud to get the pearl, but in my case his pearls were worth it every time. The thing about his books is that there really isn't one main character and this in combination with his long descriptions and world building makes for really long books and a really long series. My recommendation is to give it a go until book 2 and see where you stand there, as book 2 is really the benchmark for the rest of the series.
  2. I miss our hot women thread...
  3. Well at least as far as the Japanese part of it is concerned, the European part of it was most definitely preventative. At that point the US only joined to stop the Soviets advancing and prevent them from taking all of the territory that Hitler conquered.
  4. I don't know what story they are using for their exercise, but it's the most likely scenario. Also it's very probable that the support they are talking about is physical, ie. logistic, military, training, weapons, etc. I mean it's a war exercise, does it matter what story/pretext is used in it...
  5. Wait isn't the whole American war on terror(middle east) a preventative strike? You don't need troops to put down an uprising, you just let the Police take care of them. You use the troops to put their backers back to the stone age so it doesn't happen again and to set an example for other countries.
  6. That is the only thing I'm interested in from them... Wouldn't even care about that, but the original works pretty bad on modern PCs.
  7. Never been more glad that I own a ultrawide monitor. (Needs chrome to work(it works as embedded video on other browsers))
  8. Wait wasn't one of their big pitches no DLC and "expansions", instead we were getting a stand alone proper expansion in the vain of the old IE games...LOL... Man I can't wait until Obsidian pitches another KS, I am going to be laughing my ass off.
  9. Daaaaaaamn...
  10. The only thing I'm interested in from Ubisoft is a new Prince of Persia game and when I say game I mean a real game, not mobile/platformer. I'm still holding on to hope that they will revisit it some day, or at least do a remake of it...
  11. Any forum that does that is sh*t in my opinion, even worse that it's a paywall forum...
  12. LOL Sensuki who did you piss off on SomethingAwful to this to your account. ... Also I kind of think you should move on from PoE, I don't know what you did or didn't do, nor do I care, but taking a quick look at the SA and RPGCodex threads, you really are going overboard (or maybe that is just the codex, lol)... Learn to let go man. All that being said I really should give PoE a go, so many "interesting" threads here to enjoy.
  13. For me: Deus Ex: MD Xcom 2 Dishonored 2 in no particular order. Also I will take a look at the new Mass Effect. (truth be told I didn't mind the ending of me3, but it did kill any replayability of it for me)
  14. Though the drama and free marketing they get from that drama is significant...
  15. My current backgrounds:
  16. Well, if you find out, let me know... http://www.reddit.com/r/LifeProTips/comments/396irq/lpt_how_to_remove_get_windows_10_icon_permanently/ Read the comments!
  17. One can dream... I think you have some extra letters there.
  18. I look at that and just get pissed off we didn't get KOTOR 3...
  19. Looking forward to Deus Ex: MD, had fun with human revolution.
  20. It would be funny if they went for a Firefly type of story.
  21. While I am looking forward to this it's kind of funny watching it, they were so adamant that Corvo's story was over and that if they were to make a sequel it would be with different characters in a different country.
  22. Great manga, high hopes the animation is up to scratch!
  23. The pot calling the kettle black...
  24. Completely reading into things obviously, nothing to back it up, but what if he is planning his own Kickstarter project? Yeah, he very much tiptoed around that question. Could it be the fabled IE games spiritual successor take 3 (4?)?
  25. Yeah, he and that dog seemed awfully friendly.
