  1. Rumors like this are immensely beneficial to forcing the Ghaddafi loyalist into giving up, or giving a lot more than they would otherwise consider in a permanent settlement. Also remember that the scope of the any military engagement is quite small in comparison to Afghanistan or Iraq. It might be best to just get it over with. I mean we know from the start that there is no political will to occupy and do nation building afterward, which might well prove to be a healthy attitude.
  2. I tried reading one of the newer books, but after it started going on about Wulfgars love woes I lost interest. The first few books with Drizzit and Artimis reminded me of The Duelists, or maybe The Killer A continuous rivalry between a good guy and a bad guy with more things in common than what separated them which forces them to more clearly define who they are. Of course when you keep milking it for a dozen books you cheat the reader of a proper conclusion.
  3. It's because part of the profit from solar installations comes through subsidies, and those are a bit more fickle than just dealing with the fluctuations in the energy market.
  4. It's like an Adam Sander movie. You know it's going to be ****, but you can't help yourself.
  5. You get addicted, it's like a bad TV show you keep watching because the sameness makes you feel comfortable.
  6. Hey, I read all of Salvatore's Drizzt garbage. Granted that was when they first came out in the late 80s and I wasn't that demanding.
  7. While we are at it, farming is C02 emission intensive. so if we get a bunch of more land cultivated to grow fuel that's one step forward and x amount of steps back.
  8. Mother****ing ****sucking Torchwood is starting another season. Just FYI. That's not cinema, I know, but still.
  9. Gladly. I still get to rag on their games though.
  10. Bad sci fi is better than no sci fi. Not that ME is bad, it's a shooter with some small RPG elements. For what it is, it's pretty good. I guess the point was that if you are a sci fi fan you greedily grab whatever is available.
  11. Skilfull marketing, name recognition, the lack of anything better.
  12. I don't understand why anyone could put DA2 on their top 10s. I just finised it, and nothing could make me want to play it again. There was warrick, and the bit with the king of the cow people, and also when your mother gets kidnapped. Maybe 10% really good content to 90% cheesy manure. I can only conclude that some people just have no style. Otherwise who keeps buying the best of Micael Bolton boxed sets.
  13. Much a matter of personal preferences, like food and music. Hard to set up objective criteria for excellence.
  14. Who developed these characters. I wouldn't piss on any of them if they were on fire. I mean, I can stand having the dwarf and the buxom pirate in my party, they sort of have good excuses for being caricatures, but it does leave me a bit outgunned for most situations.

    You can tell it has high production values, I just couldn't get into it. Do you get to truck around in Gotham in your batmobile or is it all just dank corridors in Arkham.
  16. This was in that movie of the book freakonomics. According to the eggheads, cheating occurs with complete inevitability where incentive to cheat is present. It's human nature.
  17. Gorgon replied to Rosbjerg's topic in Computer and Console
    I like it, except the spawning, makes it impossible to plan for anything. It's just a shooter though, don't expect more.
  18. The theory is that this private investigator hacked the phone right ?, not that a journalist told him to do it. I guess it all comes down to what he was expected to to do, whether those expectations were stated or not.
  19. Playing through it now. It would have been so much better if you had the option of re spending all your talent points at level up. Maybe once per 4 levels ?. You get tired of the same build and want to try out the other spells. With all their talk of it being more streamlined you would think they would actually streamline something meaningful, but no. Other than that, pretty standard fare, a whole lot of area recycling. Seen one cave seen them all.... literally. I'll give it a 6.5/10. It has its moments.
  20. I usually perform violence on the keyboard.
  21. My usual reaction to Microsoft Excel, despite having used it on a daily basis for years.
  22. Dragon age 2. It's not so bad. Terrible acting here and there, but still enjoyable. And my mage walks everywhere naked since the undressed state diaper is now a thong.
  23. Didn't like it either. Maybe it was the experience points popping out of beaten enemies like a Mario game, maybe the endless unskipable cut scenes, maybe the lack of proper key remapping. Looked really very pretty though.
  24. I just signed up 2 weeks ago. I don't use it for nothin' per se, other than when it's practical for events and communication. I've checked it twice this week, people should should learn to shut up unless something interesting to ME is going on in their lives.
  25. So true, Hitman series wins hands down, first you go in quietly and when you make a mistake which you are bound to the first few times, all hell breaks loose and you fight to survive. It's like ASCreed cut out half the experience.
