  1. Islamic terrorism accounts for around 10% of the total in Europe over the last 10 years. Maybe it's because we don't understand or at all appreciate religios motives that they seem that much more menancing.
  2. DW does add a lot of nifty features, including ways to keep your BB rating under control by offering a selection of Casus Bellis (if one or more applies), giving different BB modifiers for various actions. You can also chose whether or not you want to call on allies when going to war, so you can (with enough prestige) seriously gang up on select opponents when declaring wars, not just when being attacked. Of course, things sometimes comes back and bites you in the butt, because the AI does it too. As Byzantine Empire, I declared war on the lilliputanian state of Avignon, being only guaranteed by Portugal (defender of Catholic Faith). Portugal then declared war on me, summoning England and Spain to the conflict, Spain summoning France to the war, who again summoned all their sycophant vassal states. I was suddenly very alone in an all out war against all of Western Europe... Time for a reload Logitech makes the best gaming mouse, other than that stay away from them. You can't even download a driver without being forced into a survey. If you don't 'register' your hardware, they nag-screen you untill you do. I have never experienced that level of arrogance from any other hardware producre, ever.
  3. it still says 'August' on steam. That's open to a lot of interpretation.
  4. It's Boromir man. His credit that the first LotR movie turned out as well as it did. I kinda lost interest in that series as well with him out of it. Not sure why, but the rest was just... not as good. Probably not attributed to lack of Sean Bean, but true nonetheless.
  5. I guess he desperately wanted to feel important, nothing less than 1500 pages would do.
  6. Can you actually rebuild your char, I only saw the possibility of changing traits, not perks.
  7. Yes, well, except that dialouge is rarely any good. Bethesda possibly has the worst record of all, both when it comes to writing and voice acting. Personally I engage in dialouge when I get interested, when I don't I skip past it, even on the first playthrough, particularly Bethesda games.
  8. Yes, that's very scary. So is that feeling of falling, like you had just tripped over something and your brain is screaming 'must perform corrective action', but you can't because you are asleep. Actually it's just like that thing in inception, except it doesn't work. You don't wake up.
  9. Everyone who doesn't own capital gets shafted. As for the credit bubble, poor oversight with subsidized housing loans.
  10. I might watch season 2 when it's all available, but it's not interesting enough with Bean gone to try to keep up on a week to week basis.
  11. She's got to be in the plot somewhere with a cool sounding name like that.
  12. I can't help but chuckle at that. 'Adam Jensen' is a quintesentially Danish sounding name, but it just has none of the swagger and cool factor it gets when you say it with a heavy English or American accent. To a Dane, it's sensible shoes, two kids and a Volvo.
  13. Well, you would still have a chance, rather than be target practice. However poor your marksman skills.
  14. Is it really a conspiracy that many multinationals will do anything to make a buck. If you look at strip mining in South America, continued trade in aspestos, dumping industrial waste... It seems more like old news.
  15. There is so little Sci Fi and even less which is any good. Man I hope it's good, I really do.
  16. I like the birch trees, but those screens are tarted up for the internet aren't they. The first ones, way from the begining of the thread, they looked pretty lame.
  17. Armor stuff even more dumped down. That's fine, I was tired of looking like I bougth my armor at a garage sale anyway. Glass shoes, leather gloves, iron cuirass etc.
  18. It wouldn't have mattered. There wouldn't have been guns at a party youth convention with the PM scheduled to visit the next day, but all things being equal being armed in a crazed gunman situation is definitely preferable.
  19. It took them a long time to get the swat squad to the island and the closest police could have been there more quickly. It might not have been protocol, it might have been considerably more dangerous for an ad hoc group of first responders, but shouldn't they have tried anyway, given the stakes. Are there times where we demand from cops that they set aside concerns for personal safety ?
  20. That's the nature of live reporting. Lots and lots of filler required and pretty soon you are talking about conjecture as if it were fact. Back in the day they used to make a special news update when there was something to tell. Now it's all live feed of clueless reporters on the scene.
  21. Were you a part of the fleet or did you witness it like a film? Most of my dreams have a pretty strong narrative and a very logical progression, which often fools me into thinking that it's real - it's only when it gets a little too sci-fi or there like a leap of faith that I get suspicious. I actually had a very beautiful dream about 28th century technology, which was 50/50 biological and mechanical.. It all seemed to fit so perfect in the world. I was creating the experience, which was real enough. Not really concerned about where the self was in relation to all of it. I went back and changed details several times.
  22. You are stressed. Drink a warm glass of milk with honey before you go to sleep. That will be 500$
  23. The most recent one I remember involved a fleet segment deciding to desert from an upcoming battle. A lot of time was spent deciding the weapons and tech suite load-outs and communications between captains (space ships naturally) and deciding who could be trusted to be let in on the plan. There was an acute tenseness owing to the fact that they would have to leave their families behind, but there was not much choice as they believed they would not have been able to do more than briefly delay the enemy. The big battle, or escape as it were, never happened, but the characters were remarkably clearly fleshed out when I woke up.
  24. Proper crazy. Being a fervent nationalist yourself, you should be able to relate.
  25. The facial data is imbedded in the save, same enginem give or take, I predict no issues.
