Lybia wasn't invaded though. We provided air support to a protracted civil war, and NATO didn't have anything to do with Panama. You can't put all the US mistakes on us. In any event, we wouldn't want Russia, not now and not then.

Damn, is the grammar flaming over already. I so rarely get the chance to sput my stuff.

I wonder if Russian kids grew up afraid that NATO was going to invade. That would be kinda funny, in a black is white, up is down kinda way.

When it is used in a non restrictive relative clause. 'Paul, who is a jerk.' Restrictive relative clauses doesn't have commas. 'The red book that is on the table' can only refer to one specific book, while anyone can be a jerk. It's tangental, commentary, and the clause can have a comma.

It was good, sortof a Warhammer Empire/Starship Troopers thing going on until Master Chief showed up and you were reminded of how lame the entire cannon is.

How is the spawning. It was pretty horrid in FC2. You could literally just have finished a quest and the whole encampment would reset.

The Nazi atrocities are all well documented. If they had any sense they could have been liberators. They could have turned key posessions into allies against Stalin. Instead they created partisans everywhere they went. They meant to rule Eastern Europe like the English had ruled India, but had a very poor understandig of how this was actually achieved. The army at the onset was second to none, but the show was run by racist lunatics.

Path of Exile? Yeah, I think that's it.

What was the name of that Diablo Clone everyone is waiting for ?

Exactly. If you don't have free speech, they are not out in the open anymore.

It's smartest to have the neo nazis out in the open. Where you can keep an eye on them.

I can't do without my 8 button logitech g5 now, with most games being designed for console and 7-8 keys at most at reach without having to go looking for them. You can even design a macro for button mashing.

I was going to say we ought to skip this year, but ok I'll go for X-com.

That would be what the Nazis called those who didn't like their Greko-Roman revival themed buildings and statues. I do kinda like the Stalinist propaganda aestethic. It has nothing on North Korean pieces though, even if they are kinda creepy. You know they represent a fantasy that you either buy into or you disappear in the middle of the night.

I haven't played it, just going on every Assassins Creed game made. The first one had tons of unskippable dialouge. They stopped doing that but didn't put anything better in its place unfortunately. So yes, the first thing you think when you play an AssCreed game is 'I wish there was more' because the basics are really good.

If it's anything like the recent games you will get tired of the four core game mechanics pretty quickly. The map shows you what kind of mission it is and you just do the same **** 50 times in different locations. There is no dialouge except cutscenes and you just don't ever feel invested in cut scenes. Jumping around on rooftops combined with the jumping puzzles are my favorite thing about the series, but it's not enough for a whole game.

I almost finished DD # 1. The last dungeon was too boring though.

Hitman absolution. My main complaint is that a non lethal takedown is very hard. You have to strangle them for minuites on end and risk getting into hand to hand combat which is a stupid quicktime event type of thing. Press various buttons in random order when they blink, or lose. So my playthrough on hard invariably turns into a bloodbath once my cover is blown. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I would rather not be forced into that outcome all the time. So far there are nowhere as many different approaches as in the previous games, which was what made replaying a level fun, and what's with the win button bullet time move, and since when could 47 hide a sniper rifle up his sleve and walk calmly by the cops. Aside from all that, it's awesome.

Skaven are definitely cool and they are definitely furries. Just sayin'. Whole pages taken up with mostly images might be a bit much. Can we tone it down a bit please. Breaking my own rule, but it needed a pic.

The Kotor Steam version works fine on my win7. It hasn't aged particularly well though. I couldn't get into it again.

Mechwarrior online is out http://mwomercs.com/game And there's another source engine mechwarrior project close(ish) to being finished. Forget the name. If you are starting to feel that every game feels like the last one, same polish, same built for console interface, this might be for you.

Anyone tried Hitman Absolution yet.

Agreed. Unfortunately the legacy of the first wave of Islamic terrorism in the 70s and 80s was that it worked great for getting attention to your cause.

Surely radical Islamism and it's terror component are both religious and political in nature. One might prefer if the these were separate entities, but they rarely are. In some cases they are more or less inseparable. In fact one might call it a very specific kind of worship associated with blowing things up.

It's funny what it takes to make the news. Apparently it's newsworthy that a housing coop voted down the expenses for the Christmas tree with a Muslim majority. Clearly doom is at hand of the multicultural variety.
