  1. My favorite is 'studies show'. 90% of the time it means 'I'm talking out of my ass'
  2. Shogun total war 2. It's very pretty. I do wish that after 4 or 5 games they would have figured out how to keep archers and gunners from turning to face the enemy every time you select a new target. Effectively you can't do that unless it's directly in front of them. Having them break your carefully built formation and run all over the place is usually disastrous, they will be gobbled up by cavalry. The artillery camera shake effect introduced with Napoleon is a real pain. It makes the cannons look like ships at sea in a violent storm and makes your mouse cursor ramble all over the place. Who the hell thought this was a good idea ? Did I mention it's really pretty though, the strategic elements are fun and challenging too.
  3. Also for maximum academic credibility and minimum searchabiliity and ease of use it needs to be in PDF
  4. Copyright
  5. I wouldn't get employees though. like drivers and personal trainers, of course people with bad backs are free to do such a thing, especially if she is a looker and not entirely uninterested. (how did that go by the way?) I feel uncomfortable enough having the boy bag my groceries. There is nothing wrong with my arms, that kind of pampering destroys character.
  6. Cheapskate. Millionare and you can't spring for 1000$ hookers for your mom.

    Libya

    I've got nothing more to go on other than that it started as a democratic protest, neither has anyone else I think. It's a revolution, and not the meretriciously planned sort either. I suppose they are the good guys by process of elimination.

    What do you know, looks like the good guys are winning, the rebels have taken two more city centers, how terrible.
  9. They handle baptismal records and such, which you would need to construct a fake identity, or if you happen to have lost yours.
  10. In case anyone cares, here churches are on the government tit. Financing comes through a special tax, less than one percent , which you CAN opt out of, it takes writing a formal letter declaring your wish no to belong to the Church of Denmark. Few bother, and hence there is money to hire priests and upkeep of churches.
  11. I dunno... Because sleeping in would bore me more ?
  12. So... is it any good. I thought DA1 was ok but the engine looked old and battered even when it was brand new. How does it play.

    Libya

    If you worry too much about where your weapons end up you obviously don't have the particular constitution you need to be an arms merchant. Same story everywhere.
  14. There was a film. The documentary on Discovery was better though. It was one of those deals with bad actors interspaced with narration.

    Libya

    We tried bombing him several times before, didn't take.
  16. What about ground water, seems to me you could dig wells pretty easily, the water supply was from lakes out of convenience more than anything else. Unless it's already polluted with something else.

    Libya

    So what happens when it becomes obvious that the rebellion can't be won with air assist alone. Are we hoping to cut another deal with Ghadaffi in the vein of Bosnia here ? What about the French foreign legion, seems like a good match for training and troop bolstering purposes. I'm sure we would all prefer for the Libyans not to have foreign troops om the ground, but they are not equipped to defeat Gadaffis forces as of yet, and we have already picked a side and got stuck in, can't sit on the fence now.
  18. I don't know if I would trust anything coming from official sources if I lived in Tokyo, I mean they would withhold information to avoid a panic if they had to. No wonder people are hamstering water.
  19. Meltdown doesn't necessarily mean mushroom cloud. It shouldn't. That's what they have been saying on the news all day anyway. Remember, it wasn't built and operated by inept Commies.
  20. My old japanese grammar teacher from uni is on the tube doing filler about Japan while they roll the same footage every 15 minuites. Natural disasters, what are you gonna do. **** happens. Looks like the death toll is less than expected, but infrastructure will be in recovery mode for a long time.
  21. I feel a little bit like getting the game, I'm hoping it will pass as I would most certainly regret it.
  22. Not having the option of choosing what version you want to run for your steam software, that's really not a particularly good idea. They should fix that. Quite often an update will screw something up while fixing something else, and there is the whole mod thing to consider. Anyway I played through Dead Money, not a single CTD this time, I guess all the stars aligned or something. After my head exploded the millionth time the whole slave colar/invisible death zones thing did start to feel very contrived. Also I found it rather interesting that my companion Overall the feel was right though, I dunno if it was worth 10E, but I never felt disappointed in the quality.
  23. Temple of Doom is one of my favorites. The Indian pantheon is really cool.
  24. AsCreed 1 is garbage. AsCreed 2 is pretty decent, then it gets repetitive and irreversibly boring around the half way mark. Let me spoil the ending, because it really is *something* Your char goes 'the ****', and that's it, credit roll.
  25. Couple of years ago. didn't they foil an attempt to take down the government. Am I remembering this wrong ?. This would be in reverse, the winds of change seem to be blowing in the middle east to use the hippie terminology, this is good thing, and an opportunity, no ?
