Idk, I don't see why they would help them stay in the EU, much better to let them hit rock bottom and exit the euro zone and eu and then help them get back on their feet. As for them being broke, things don't work like that for countries of that size. Even if they were broke, the amount of money Greece would need to get a new lease on life would still not be significant enough for it to matter to them(Russia). If by chance Russia passes on Greece there are still other countries. No way is Greece going to devolve in to Venezuela, simply too many players in the game interested in that piece of land.

Russia's economy is on such a scale that I doubt it would hurt them that much financially to help them. They would get lots of things out of such a deal, first of them being an ally in Europe and second being a key country for the southern pipeline. Arabs helped my country (Serbia) when we were on the edge, they loaned us 2 billion (with very low interest rate) most of which we used to pay off loans (with astronomical interests rates) that the previous government took out. Even now they are investing in various areas: Air Serbia, Agriculture(that the EU has been actively trying to destroy for the last 10 years), Belgrade on Water, etc. As for China, I would be skeptical to say the least that they are going to burst any bubble, no matter how much the west pushes that story. Most likely that story is being forced to cause damage to or restrain the economy. China simply has too much going on to be able to fail that easily.

Doubt it very much. I'm of the opinion that they will get help either from the Arabs or from Russia/China. Edit: that is if they leave the euro and eu.

I have 2 ACs in my apartment and haven't found them that impactful on the bill, what screws my household over the most is the water-heater. But then again it's working 24/7 so I guess it's to be expected.

Kekkai Sensen finale is being delayed a second week in a row... It seems that the last episode is going to be over 30 minutes long if the rumors are true. Apart from that a new season of anime has started. So far there are few pilots that scratched my interested but nothing overwhelming. I can recommend you guys Gangsta., the animations is good and I know the story is good as I read the manga. As for the rest I need to watch a few more episodes. Also rewatched Rebuild of Eve 3.33, when is 3.0+1.0 going to come out...

We have ACs coming out of our ass in EU and most of them are Korean (and a different design that those in America). Same here (Belgrade), I don't really know what Woldan is talking about. Every major city in EU has ACs in almost every apartment...

LOL

Don't know either. But I do know that someone always figures out a way. Though I guess it would be a back and forth battle of hacking and patching/fixing the loopholes. Another issue apart from hacking would be jamming, I suspects that jamming fields would be a quick way to defend against them (though that would require a lot of power). Have you ever seen a movie called Terminator. :D Joking aside, the big issue I see is that it would take a long time until autonomous became useful for anything other then being cannon fodder. I figure it would start as a dumb AI with a lot of if/then scenarios programed in to it and that is easy to abuse.

I would be kind of paranoid of letting it all be unmanned, I mean it's unhackable until someone figures out how to hack it and when that happens then it's just welp... Until a unit can be autonomous I think it's not really worth it going too deep in to unmanned, though that brings another host of potential problems.

Is the armor still made from cardboard on these (f-35) jets? some additional info for the story above: http://www.businessinsider.com/f-35-can-not-dogfight-effectively-2015-7 https://medium.com/war-is-boring/test-pilot-admits-the-f-35-can-t-dogfight-cdb9d11a875

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.

I miss our hot women thread...

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.

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...

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.

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.

Never been more glad that I own a ultrawide monitor. (Needs chrome to work(it works as embedded video on other browsers))

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.

Daaaaaaamn...

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...

Any forum that does that is sh*t in my opinion, even worse that it's a paywall forum...

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.

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)

Though the drama and free marketing they get from that drama is significant...
