Fear of women body in modern videogames
It's a public sphere thing. They don't dress like that inside.

So, I'm looking to buy a mobo, ram sticks and processor combination . For now my GFX, a HD7950, will be salvaged as will the case. The biggest question is what CPU to get. I don't upgrade very often. Aside from gaming I use it for PS and 3Dsmax, so more ram and processing power will be much appreciated.

STEAM!
I don't have DotA 2. Know a couple of people who are into it. The competitive gaming with huge Cash prizes is a nice touch. Steep learning curve, which is nice, but I'm just not much for diablo type gameplay.

Developers, Kickstarter & My Future 5 Year Gaming Budget
I'm pretty sure sound is nothing like radiation and accumulated decibel equals hearing damage. Only decibel over X ammount does damage. That said I got the most silent of the HD7950, the Asus one, and I'm quite glad I didn't get one 5% faster and 25% more jet plane.

You have to do some cleaning inside your vid cards and CPU coolers once in a while, dust will always get through. You need a set of small screwdrivers and a lot of patience and care. I use a small animal hair painting brush to get the dust off, then it's just a matter of putting things back where they were.

Symbols and Flags
Once Sherman started operating behind enemy lines it became obvious that the north could afford to replace their losses and the south could not. They were never going to win. As long as Lee could keep winning and then giving the same ground and keep the Union tied up the illusion could be maintained, that changed with the scorched earth campaign.

Games we obsess over
I still play UT2004 with a mate with a prehistoric Mac. Can't run anything more recent, besides it's still an awesome game. I also recentlt played Homeworld and the Total war series again. I think I'm done with BG and PST replays though.

Symbols and Flags
There isn't really much to be said for the Confederate position. It wasn't a fight over ideology though, at least not at first. Lincoln was keen not to be put in with the Abolitionists which were seen as disruptive radicals. Later the slavery issue became a means to an end; unification.

Movies You've Seen Recently
It's a shame when you have a real actor or two, I mean above the skill of good enough for TV, or suitable for the attention span of a 13 year old, that there is no time to let them strut their stuff.

Movies You've Seen Recently
Star Trek. Liked Benedict Cumbersomesurname didn't care if Kirk or Spok lived or died. Peter Weller has come a long way since Robocop. Must be all those David Lynch movies, he had a lot of presence. I was actually rooting for him. Why is the formatting doing that ?

Xbox 720 Reveal
I can't help but wonder what the techs looking at kinect metadata at 5 in the morning are going to think. 'Sleepwalker over here. That's a guy jerking off, and we have... another guy jerking off.'

Sweden riots
To go back on topic, the Swedes have been somewhat surpised that after creating low income housing and after immigrant families started living there to the exclusion of most everyone else they turned into what is know in American gangster rap venacular as 'projects'. Granted they are pretty nice projects compared to most places, but it's all entirely predictable.

I thought there was EU legislation in the works to ensure that digital content could change ownership, don't know what happened to it though.

So ?. That's how things have been with books for as long as anyone can remember. There is no retail system in place anywhere where the manufacturer gets paid every time the item changes hands. Without used games there is no competition which is bad for consumers.

Why don't you make one up. Seems like there is a demand.

Xbox 720 Reveal
From Morgoth's Xbox Link The system can make sure the user is simply in the room while it plays, or it can tell the user to hold up a specific product. The camera would then scan the item held up and reward the user with an achievement. Yeah that's not invasive at all.
