  1. I meant the short cut under the "game library" tap (where all your games are) in steam, it's called "Medieval II: Total War Kingdoms". I just didn't want to write the whole thing down... but yeah, just using the batch file also works. Is it good? Yeah, I'm having fun. trying to figure out how to extract the music now
  2. Because you can't play PC games lounging on the sofa with a friend ?
  3. Aren't you tired of the game by now ?
  4. I just focus on the one nice thing you can craft, for FO nuka cola grenade parts, for FO NW weapon repair kits, and hamster them in my base. After a while a wrench lying on the floor was like a beacon.
  5. Fools, rather than splitting up they should unite against the real enemy ; the people's front of Judea.
  6. Nevermind, everything works now, as long as I launch from inside the game dir instead of the shortcut.
  7. I use it with steam - so that's not true.. install the mod, then right click MTW2:K (in steam), select properties, then select "set launch options" and add this @mods\kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod\medieval2.kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod.cfg this forces steam to launch via the mods batch file, which makes it work. This works with every mod for MTW2:K - just find the batch file in the mod folder and edit it.. then copy the "adress" like this: Where is MTW2:K 'in steam'. Are you talking about the game's install directory or something in the STEAM browser ?. The Game executable is not called MTW2:K. I see the batch file you are talking about 'medieval2_kingdoms_grand_campaign_mod' that would be in the mods dir.
  8. Download dies after 1 minuite, no other mirrors. Ohh well.
  9. It doesn't work with STEAM, only the regular version. EDIT : I can't install the regular version because the disks are ****ed.
  10. Before you download this new full mod version be aware that this installer may not work for steam users. I am sorry about this but there is not much I can do to support Steam versions of Kingdoms I actually have the non steam version, but the disks are scratched. It won't install.
  11. There might well be people who deserve to die for their crimes, but government shouldn't exercise that power. We should insist on being better than them, for our own sake. There are all kinds of problems with using the death penalty, it can become politicized so death penalty cases are fast tracked through the appeal process and politicians and politicians to be can appear to be tough on crime, or it can simply be used in totalitarian regimes to remove undesirables. It's not a direction one would want to go in, and besides we can manage without.
  12. Maybe so, but if you had to make a difficult climb to save your life, your survival instance would trump the phobia and you would just get on with it, like throwing someone into a pool who doesn't know how to swim, you learn because your brain doesn't leave you any choice. I suppose skydiving lessons as a cure would only work if someone kicked you out of the plane.
  13. The thing about planes, if it does go wrong there is nothing you can do to rectify the situation. If it's just a tall drop you can take a minute and try to come to terms with the vertigo and fear.
  14. The charge he is wanted on is 'being a grabass'. That is to say other types of lude and unwanted behavior than rape. Obviously he should return and face the music, but this is just not like drugging and then raping a minor. I have no doubt Polanski is guilty, but I think it's possible that some of the many enemies Assange has made set him up. It doesn't seem so fantastical a notion to me. Also, why are we still talking about an extradition to the US. There has been no request, and there isn't going to be one, or am I missing something.
  15. I'd say that getting a look at how governments interact at a high diplomatic level serves a useful educational role. It's not often we get to see what they really get up to before hearing the polished version, and why are we crying about the US' wounded pride, who cares about that. They made a website and said 'come to us with your leaks', and lo and behold some people did, and once in a while it created a stir. Why has this become about blaming the messenger. It would have been someone else if not Wikileaks.

    umm. He uses his shotgun to frighten off animal carcasses ??? Were you trying to be funny ?
  17. Medieval total war : Kingdoms. It's the best of all the Total War series by far, the Crusades campaign in particular.

    No, this is, simply put, bull****. If you eat fewer calories than you burn, you lose weight. More than that, we simply don't understand. The biochemistry is too complicated and has not been studied well enough. Carbohydrates and fats are ultimately calorie sources. Your body burns them. In the short-term, the only two things that matter for "health" are protein and calories. In the long term, there are certain trace amounts of various vitamins you need. Past that, we simply don't know - why do you think the status quo for "healthy eating" changes so often? Human nutrition is really ****ing complicated, and we don't fully understand it. This is about converting less of what you eat into fat on your body after you have lost weight. Meat is tasty and you eat less of it to get full than you do pasta and bread, and it's something that people can stick to, trying to stick to 'boring' meals after a diet usually doesn't last.
  19. Why would he be extradited to the US, as I understand it no one there is bringing charges. It's beside the point that assorted pundits and lunatics have called for his execution, that's just the colour of political discourse right now, it represents no official stance. I suppose it's entirely possible that some one set him up. One can't really know.
  20. Well duhh, it's a children's book.

    They like to cook things in oil, Thai is more about the wok.

    Eat meat and stay off the carbs, that's what will make the weight stay off. Starving yourself won't work, and it will also decrease your energy levels.

    You see, here's the thing - we don't know why trans fat is "bad," or even if it is "bad." We don't understand the biochemistry. Current nutrition is based on some very shoddy science with large, poorly-controlled correlative studies. I'm quite sure that someone can get their daily limit of calories from McDonalds (let's say, 2000 kcal/day), and with a bit of vitamin supplements, be completely fine. The only real problem might be sodium. You know they couldn't technically prove that asbestos was bad for you for several years after the connection with cancer and respiratory illnesses was made, a lot more people died as a result. Do I want to chance it ? Not particularly. Trans fat is linked with heart disease according to Wikipedia (that's not scientific, I know) but it does say that most governments recommend a cap just for that reason. I'll take their word for it.
