  1. kannst du nicht dein akkusativ, dann bist du virchlig dum. Actually it's not that hard, it's just that you are never exposed to any German outside of textbooks.
  2. I was going to post a serous response, but then I saw this. Pearls, swine, etc.
  3. Well the argument could be made that Israel helped those idiots (Hamas) to power through the efforts of the late Sharon. In any case that 'Palestine wants to destroy Israel' is not an accurate portrayal of the whole of Palestinian polity. The extremist on both sides seem to prefer the status quo. That's not going to change any time soon.
  4. Joking aside, it's really difficult to get anywhere in the peace process if Obama is getting ham-stringed from home. If there was ever any doubt, Netanyahu now knows he can start as many settlements as he wants and go through the motions of pretending to be interested in the peace process without any consequences from the US.
  5. After half an hour in the face generator roulette you could sometimes manage to get a cool satisfying look. Too bad there was no way to save it. Why not have the option to add two or three of your own creations to the presets. It's not like that would be hard to implement.
  6. Agricultural policy has always been about protectionism as far as I can remember anyway. Well not always, the English were happy to let free market forces reign and let a million Irish and more Indians die of starvation.
  7. Bethesda seems to have a Freudian issue with dark tunnel, it was the same in Oblivion. What's wrong with letting the player see what the character will look like in the game world. The face preview is inadequate.
  8. Life is a brick house... seriously ?. Personally I'd rather go with something a little more catchy like a journey, or a box of chocolates.
  9. Walk the earth, get into adventures, you know like Caine in Kung Fu.
  10. There was an oil embargo, that was the stated reason for Japans move against the US. Lets not forget that Japan invaded Manchuria and Korea simply because they felt a military adventure or two would solve their economic woes, they were partially right. The idea was to blackmail the US into a settlement, to give them a dose of the same gunboat diplomacy the region had been on the receiving end of in the unequal treaties. and in doing so settle an old score. Of course if the US didn't sue for peace the whole exercise would be doomed from the start, which is how it worked out.
  11. Is this REC 2 or the American remake 2, which rather interesting was shot in exactly the same location with a large number of hispanic in the cast.
  12. Depression is not the best babe magnet out there.
  13. A plane crash is much too pedestrian a method for Putin.
  14. I see the suits still look like poorly envisioned super heroe outfits.
  15. Well it's EA isn't it. Impossible DRM highly likely.
  16. Well Eisenhower, a general as much as a president, famously said that it was unnecessary. So, yes there is controversy, but maybe you were just stating your opinion.
  17. I wonder how they are going to tackle Hiroshima. I mean they don't have to, they can just skip over it as it didn't really affect the ground troops other than a massive sigh of relief, but that would also be a copout . It's still controversial of course, there are still living survivors who are very offended by the usual American view that it ended the war (a no brainer) and saved X million lives (that's the controversial part).
  18. It's rather strange to refer to the kids in bg as 'killable' and even stranger to insist that killing kids is a persistent theme in any of the games mentioned.
  19. I usually get a hold of 2 weapons which use the most common soviet round, you find those on just about every corpse, and leave everything else behind, unless it's something extraordinary. In addition to having lots of ammo to be found they are also cheap to repair, and not so different from the more expensive guns once upgraded. I much prefer being able to run for extended periods over heavy armour and weapons. I just recently finished the prequel, Call of Pripyat. The weapons get insanely powerful and accurate once upgraded to tier 3. Unfortunately once it becomes available the game is pretty much over. I spent hours hamstering enough money to upgrade everything, go back to Pripyat and it's literally over in 15 mins. I don't think the developers really understood how people react and play the game when they finally get access to the final upgrades. Big disappointment.
  20. Both in the case of the American Indians and the Palestinians there was a 'race war' element going on meaning that they could not effectively hide among the population, and I believe it has already been established that local support is crucial to a guerilla campaign.
  21. Stalker mainly works because of good level design. The engine is ancient by now, but it doesn't matter that much. The gunplay is also good, the 'one mistake and you're gone' approach means that things generally don't get dull. In that way it's quite similar to the old ghost recon series.
  22. That was a good read.
  23. Well I don't think it should be forbidden by law either, I think this unhealthy culture, refer to my earlier posts, should be engaged by other means.
  24. I just clicked your link and I'm watching a car commercial just to get to the point where I can watch a game promo.
  25. There are actual journalists among game reviewers ?.
