The New Classics
I guess maybe unreal tourney 2004, that would be 5 years old, and still going strong with lots of servers and a modding community.

The New Classics
It looked too cartoony, so I never bothered.

I dunno, maybe there haven't been any classics in the last 5 years.

FO:NV
I'm playing FO3 again with the dlc adons. I forgot how crappy the pipboy map is, it doesn't show what level you are on so you constantly get lost. If you are in a building with several stories it's almost completely useless. This should either be fixed or compensated for by making the interior areas less complicated. It seems like a small thing, but It really does get in the way of your enjoyment of the game.

Reactions
I dunno, 10 and 12 is awfully early to give up on two kids. You would think it still possible to turn them around. psychopaths and sociopaths know what the concept of empathy is, they just don't have any. Kids this young however, can maybe still learn.

Scary or unexplainable things that have happened to you
Does your wife know about that, you better get ahead of the situation before she starts asking why it burns while she pees.

I got nothing. Nothing even remotely supernatural ever happened to me.

What are you playing now
I'm playing through Fallout 3 again because of operation anchorage and the Pitts. I have to say Anchorage was a disappointment though. Also with the new patches and the new level cap Dogmeat is invincible. Not even 3 deathclaws can hope to take him down more than 50% health (i'm level 12 now) I just sent him home to vault 101 because he was tanking everything so successfully it left me with nothing to do.

Need help for buying Magic the gathering decks
I don't know much about the game, but I was rather amazed at the prices for some of these 'unique' cards. The turnover must be better than cocaine, and all you need is a laser printer and a laminator.

Toyota's New Robot Runs Like a Human
The framework for this project, called I-SWARM (intelligent small-world autonomous robots for micro-manipulation) Ok people, your task today is to come up with a compound noun that forms s.w.a.r.m. as an acronym. Looks interesting though.

Our closest ally stabs us in the back
Does every damn post have to be an in depth analysis. A cadre of buxom bodyguards is worth mentioning for its own sake.

Our closest ally stabs us in the back
Khadafi wants to avoid sanctions and not be known mostly for harboring terrorists. He is not any kind of Islamic extremist, more just plain crazy. He survived two US bombing runs on his house and has an elite palace guard consisting entirely of buxom young women. That last part is always worth a giggle.

I think it's entirely possible that this was part of the price for getting Khadafi on 'our team'.

CPU Cooler for E8400
Appreciate the info, I might possibly be too technically inept for it to be of any use, we'll see once I have the replacement cooler.

Star Trek online
Oblivion was good for one playthrough, still plenty of boring places, like the oblivion gates. Shivering Isles was much better.

Check This Out
You wuss, that's perfectly natural.

North Korea: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
Bizzare. He gets ferried around an industrial wasteland with no cars and few people and taken to 'see the sights' by the official handlers. At one point he plays ping pong and snooker with a giggling ginsing tea salesgirl at one of the venues, she hasen't seen a customer in months.

mw2 can't ne mechwarrior 2 because there already is one. Too bad.

North Korea: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
If we are using the American native (no pun intended) definition of socialism it includes things like the wellfare state established in england after WW2. That has nothing to do with controlling the means of production, rather the idea is mutually agreeing to a larger degree of redistribution. The nanny state takes care of you from the cradle to the grave. It works just fine, it's not 'broken', or 'bound to fail' it's just a different way of life than you are used to.

Games you are looking forward to
I am looking forward to a new Stalker game, I like them and their atmosphere. One big 'but' though. I have never played a stalker game that was not a buggy crash ridden mess.

North Korea: Great Country, or Greatest Country?
I agree that Anarchism is the best form of government. The problem is that the larger the entity, the less room there is for direct democracy. Anarchism is not equipped to handle a whole nation. Communism can be democratic though. There are plenty of communist parties who owe their existence to the voters, in the former Soviet republics for instance.

CPU Cooler for E8400
Ahh thanks. The installation looks a bit complicated, especially since they don't offer technical drawings for all the different cards. How do I know what a voltage regulator looks like. Looks like quite a fun little project nonetheless.

In the case of Congo vs Norway
I understand the charge is espionage and murder. There was some mention that they were security contractors, that is to say mercenaries, is this just fabrication. I can't see them working for the Norwegian government though. I mean they aren't exactly known for their adventurous foreign policy, If the Congo(ese ?) were out for money you would think they would demand something that Norway could actually pay. I think there must be good political capital in a high profile case about espionage. Colonial aggression is an easy sell for the locals.
