Gorgon

The game breaks if you research a base boss too early, don't remember the specifics. Different issue in UFO and terror from the deep.

Anyone know what the status of the new Me Hehe, time to cut down on research expenses. Now I feel tempted to play this game again, although I've started new games before, I tend to drift towards X-Com 3. Maybe it is time to visit Cydonia again and visit some righteous retribution on the master brain

Ohh allright, I have been playing devil's advocate, but I couldn't really commit.

Strange choice of words. I don't think policing is supposed to entail acts of valor. On the flip side of the scale would it have been better if she had challenged him to a boxing match.. pistols at dawn ?

Theres a lot of cameras, a small crowd gathering. The police probably felt outnumbered and that they had to get it overwith quickly, even if that meant taking him down the hard way. They failed to warn him though, although with all the yelling I'm not sure the message would have gotten through. It's kind of redundant talking about 'resisting arrest'. I mean isn't that the point of a sit in. You get pictures of the police being overzealous in clearing whatever it is you are occupying and your cause is advanced. What matters is how the police handle people who resist non violently.

Damn hippies

Big surprise, no one gives a rat's ass about Australian politics. America, however, everybody's got an opinion. Learn to live with it.

Talked to my mother for about 30 mins, she doesn't believe in phones so things tend to pile up and then she will walk over and tell me about it. Apparently the CERND supercollider is the key to the gates of hell mentioned in revelations. I told her it was a good idea for a movie, maybe with Johnny Depp as the scientist who commits hybris and bad things result. Also feminist and gay rights activism within the protestant church has now reached intolerable levels.

Twillight has kinda made vampires and warewolfs lame by association for the foreseeable future, unless the new Underworld film is awesome. If we are just fantasising, then yes, a sequel to VtM would be all kinds of awesome.

were they pro or against gangster party. wasn't immediately clear.

Well, yes. http://www.europarl....=GB&webTermId=7 In UK voting booths, typically bundled into municipal elections, that's how we do it here.The comission is hand picked by individual governments, that would be the international body part of the equation. I don't see how governments could hope to agree on ,say, debt relief to Greece in the EU parliament.

It's an internatioal body, but it elects its own Parliament. For what it is its extremely democratic.

Looks like it's designed to look good on a smart phone, and like a 13 year olds girl's myspace page if you are on a big screen.

new skin is fugly. Goin' to bed now.

What you call dangerous we would easily label a typical conservative candidate. There is the plan to extend health coverage, but it's still an essentially private market, some talk about the environment and green tek, but that has taken off in a big way in the last decade, it's a long time since that was just a money drain supported by various green parties. On security virtually indistinguishable from any given Republican. I mean the plan was always to leave Irak and Afghanistan when we were done. No change in the Guantanamo bay issue of questionable regality regarding prisoners of war deemed terrorist suspects. Status Quo in the Israel - Palestine question. Not that there have been much in the way of lemons with which to make lemonade. Israel is a strategic ally, no leverage is brought to bear to influence them toward a final settlement with Palestine, the margins of success are too low, so why bother trying.

I'm surprised the whole wife debacle seems to have turned in his favor. It's positive on one hand that those kinds of attacks seem to have lost their bite, and on the other hand remember all that 'moral majority' crap. It seems to me there ought to be a price to pay when a family values holier than thou candidate doesn't live up to his name.

So is the notion that one can simply do away with monetary policy and all will be well. Mostly I suppose Republicans aren't receptive to the idea that spending so much money on wars constitutes the same kind of breach of liberty as universal healthcare.

I have no idea, it depends on how effective they are when they reach office. I really look at what I think is the main problem in our country and try to decide who will be best at fixing it. For example, it was bad to have GW Bush as president when we really needed a strong foreign policy leader. We were in two wars and the global economy was starting to meltdown. Then Obama started his term needing strong economic policies to fix a sinking ship, and he was not able to handle it. As a counterpoint, Reagan came into office with perfect timing. He fixed a badly damaged image of the President and rebuilt American confidence. Clinton was also well-timed, he was very good at foreign policy when our economy was flourishing, leading to global implications. Both of those presidents were also capable of working with the other party. I see that as our number one problem today, the two parties spend so much time and energy fighting each other that we aren't getting anything done. I think Gingrich may be the best candidate to restore that working relationship. But yeah, I'm not sure he can avoid getting roasted by the media, and he lacks in the charm department. I don't know where all this Reagan worship comes from. Maybe it's like the wave of 80s retro nostalgia. Well, as someone who actually lived the 80s would tell you, the music and the clothes mostly sucked. It's the reimagining of a golden era that never existed, like Romanticism.

I like Ron Paul, there seems to be not quite so much hypocrisy emmanating from him. Amazing really that you can still cultivate a reputation for consistency in the American political system. Don't agree with his outmoded minimal state Capitalism ideas, but I can respect it.

Services like that are really starting to catch on. The lack of an offline mode is offset by a huge database at your disposal at a realatively cheap price. People won't bother scouring the web for a torrent when it's already there.

Go back to 8 track

Isn't that an anarchist's view of all law, though? It's theoretically possible to achieve almost complete compliance on the web with surveilance and enforcement, much more so than in the physical world owing to the relative efficiency of a completely digital system. That would be a first in human history, I'm not sure it's at all desireable. I guess I'm worried about momentum even though the problem has barely manifested itself as of yet.

I like it quite a lot, but not because Nameless has amnesia. Mainly the NPCs I think.

Problem is the amnesia is well used both as a plot and a role-play in PS:T's case and more than justifies the element. And you can't really make a "Nostalgia" and "This has been done to death" argument at the same time. Kinda contrary. Even assuming that time is a linear, they have been writing stories for a couple of thousand years already and soaps populated with people with amnesia since the 60s.

The protagonist has amnesia. Kinda been done to death hasn't it. Nostalgia makes everything look better. Still, it's probably my favorite EI game.
