And there goes Venezuela
Chavez is paranoid with good reason. What's next, a 'thought police', mass arrest and internment camps for known Capitalists and associates, lulz.

Being defeated by a 1 foot obstacle and having to backtrack was certainly not very fun.

'Chief Moderator' That's interesting, I never noticed that Fio was Capo di tutti capi in the mod squad. Figures really, I've never seen him be passionate about anything. On the intarwebs that is.

I dunno, I liked the Slavic flavour. 'Viedzmin' even sounds cooler than 'Witcher'. I would hate to be completely without ham fisted heavily accented English in S.T.A.L.K.E.R, as a forinstance.

No, no, he's not getting ahead of himself at all. Doom, doom I say.

It's those tea party lunatics, can't really do anything about those except tough it out. Well except a hole in the ground and a firing squad.

There's better masturbation material out there I'm sure.

It's not like we actually have consistent freedom of speech regime going on where the Muslims are the only dissenters, anyway. In practice, freedom of speech in most of the West adheres to the cultural and religious sensitivities of the majority in that society. i.e. what if that cartoonist drew Obama/whoever munching on a baby fetus? A lot less people would be saying "get over it". Wasn't that already on Southpark, no wait, that was Chrisopher Reeves. We don't have that many holy cows left in the West, for better or worse I suppose.

I prefer knowing what people are really about, if everyone is free to paint themselves as complete arseholes, or otherwise as the case may be, that saves me a lot of trouble. For my money any religion is fair game for cheap stunts like the Mohamed cartoons. Offended Muslims basically just need to grow thicker skin. Hatemongering against individuals or specific races is different as that can genuinely cause people to live in fear, as opposed to just needing to get over themselves.

Interesting comment on climate change
The 'Warmists'. lol... I don't know very much about the science so I just go by majority rule. Most of scientific community, to the tune of about 90% say that it is real. Now of course they could be wrong, but it's not like I'm going to be the one to prove it one way or the other.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS THREAD!
This looks amazing, but with the time how long detailed games like FF XIII have been in development with current technology, i am realy wondering how long would the graphical designers take, to create a single model out of millions of points... not to mention the whole game, whe you would need billions^billions of points to create whole scenery without copy/paste... Creating 1 model and Copy/Paste would look pretty awful imo... So... how... magic... supercomputers ???

Well it's change isn't it, that's what they voted for. America is growing up, slowly reforming and becoming a responsible adult, moving out of the dark ages and the 'every man for himself' mentality. Growing pains are to be expected.

Yes, in fact it's a whopping 9600000 sq.km or thereabouts.

Severance/Blade of Darkness
Maybe it's what it sounds like, a version of C++ runtime libraries which isn't backwards compatible anymore. Or any of a millon other things.

French forumites
Isn't Volourn Canadian. Teh frenchies actually use their own language academically sometimes to the exclusion of English, not something you could say about Denmark, which makes your job a bit harder. I suggest you track down a live English speaking specimen and interrogate it.

A lump of bread. It was tasty.

LOST season six
I think that should be 'phase sideways', Flash 'something' involves someone's memory, whereas what we are seeing is simply a segment of space time. I don't hold out much hope for clarification, without the unknown the show would lose all its narrative drive, they are going to

Installing Baldur's Gate II on Vista
Disable user accounts or whatever it's called. It's where you manage logons in the control panel, and they can be turned off. Supposedly that solves certain installation problems.

I though the joke was the commercial trying to recover Toyota's safety record.

You can go a long way on just projecting confidence and having no shame whatsoever.

Metro 2033
I'm currently playing Call of Pripyat. No crashes yet. Not a single one. Clear Sky crashed on average once every 45 mins. The level design is not quite as good as earlier.

Movies you have seen recently
Product placement scenes are always awkward, remember when they used cola bottles for a blood transfusions in Pearl Harbor. Blade 2, or was it 3 when the sexy young vampire hunter had to load up her Ipod to listen to while out smiting the undead - after all it's not like being able to hear while fighting for your life would be in any way useful. Why not just stop the movie and show an actual commercial, the pretense that the product actually matters is just stupid.
