  1. It seems pretty clear to me that 'I AM GOING TO KILL GABE NEWELL' was an expression of exasperation not a real threat. STEAM probably have a policy they are following, and it makes sense to follow a policy every time if it has to do with death threats , that's kinda the point of having one. It's not unlike that guy who jokingly said 'just a bomb' when airport security asked him if he had anything to declare and then couldn't understand why he ended up on the no fly list. He got punished for being stupid. Nothing to see here, move along.
  2. The long war. ...
  3. Does Invisible War actually work. I was never able to complete it. No option for the last research after the capture outsider mission. Were they called outsiders ? the enemy bosses.
  4. I couldn't get into it either. Have 2 hours on that and that's likely how it's going to stay.
  5. Really now.
  6. ^^ Russian girls are hot.
  7. Replace 'always' with 'nearly always' and it's probably true though. I don't know why men are more prone to violence, but history does seem to bear this observation out. Making a list of exceptions does not really disprove the point. And she is troll baiting as usual, this is what she does for a living now, and she's good at it. Got you lot to respond didn't she.
  8. It actually looks a lot like a poster for the reboot of 'Pippi Langstrømpe'. In the vein of.
  9. I don't remember a thing about Arcanum's story. I remember getting stuck or just plain forgetting what I was supposed to do 3/4 of the way done. The journal doesn't hold your hand and there is no objective marker. All fine by the way.
  10. It's what frozen lasange used to taste like, before they ruined it
  11. It's going to suck like all the others.
  12. Well, it's allways going to affect your ability to fire twice if you have say 12 action points. You would be able to burst fire twice every other round. I believe the crit multiplier for assault rifles was 2. something ?. and headshot is 2.0. The aim penalty is also pretty severe. Only really suitable for big targets.
  13. Headshots can't crit, which makes them pointless when you have a very high crit chance at higher level. Only use i ever got of them was if I was almost out of ammo and losing badly or with energy weapons and even then I would usually go for the safer hit.
  14. I'm sayin' Chuck Norris is neither cool or invincible after that. Your gandads called, they want their meme back.
  15. Brutal reality check. It's hard to worship someone who... well the whole thing just screams 'what a moron'.
  16. It's pretty normal to block out the world's woes and just worry about your own little pond.
  17. That's putting it lightly. Part of the equation though. People have spent the last 10 years callously making all kinds of personal information available on facebook and whatnot and then proceed to get mad when someone bothers to dig it up. The part of it related to threats is deplorable, but having your real life persona called out for something you said anonimously, that can actually be pretty helpful.
  18. luls
  19. Considering the movie is based on the autobiography of a guy who has been proven to have lied in said book, I wouldn't expect too much authenticity. Combat 'autobiographies' are more entertainment than anything else. A UK SAS team 'bravo two zero' trapped behind enemy lines in gulf war two turned out to be mostly fantasy as well. Maybe they actually thought they had killed several hundred Iraqis but things quickly got embarrasing when it was possible after the war to interview most of the Iraqis they had been in contact with.
  20. I forget the name, but wasn't there a facist network spanning most of Europe created for such a purpose. In particular counter intelligence against communism. So you have found a Swedish Nazi, so what. I bet if I looked hard enough I could find a Russian, even a Jewish one. There wasn't a lot to prepare for duing the cold war except a Russian invasion.
  21. I see. Well, it begs the question. What were they after.
  22. I don't know if this story has made headlines other than locally, but the Swedish military is currently searching for a Russian submarine and possibly it's crew. Most likely it's an excercise, like when they hugely embarraslingly sailed a missile destroyer past the Royal Navy and weren't challenged before they could have launched their enture compliment at London. It may have ended in an accident. They aren't saying, other than be on the lookout for ruskies. Below might be country IP blocked, but the short clips usually aren't. http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Udland/2014/10/19/185901.htm It's not off topic, not if this thread is about Russia being trolls, and it kinda is.
  23. The premise is that the western world is happier and that therefore its ideology is superior ? Well, the western world could be happier because of something other than its system of government and its values. You can make the argument that your premise is the cause and you can include those statistics in your argument, but (this is the important part) you can't say that the statistics show it. That's not how statistics work.
  24. The first thing they teach you about statistics is that you can't cherry pick two things and say they are related because the numbers look favorable to make that comparison. Just sayin'
