I dunno the single player looks pretty meh, and that's he doing playing a shooter on a console, contradiction in terms.

I'm currently subsiding on a diet of whatever is on sale, today was bananas and salmon. Not the best combination for a full course, but do continue, I like to live vicariously through people with a budget for food and toilet paper.

Yeah but a 100mbt line is only a 100mbt line if all the stars align correctly and a human baby sacrificed on a winter solstice.

Adam Sandler isn't very good, but somehow I don't mind watching his bad movies.

I played through nocturne. Pretty decent, good atmosphere. Not awesome though.

Unfortunately the 'boss fights'/final levels in all the installments of the game are very poor, but everything up to that is great. In Homeworld # 1 you were rewarded for finishing levels with low losses, in Homewold # 2 you were punished for playing well with the new 'adaptive AI'. The worse you played the easier the game got, and vice versa. Pretty much completely destroyed the single player experience for me. Homeworld Cataclysm (came out between 1 and 2) is a close second to Homeworld with a lot of really challenging missions and no idiot IA punishing your successes.

Also I would like to mention Homeworld for those who might not have heard of it. 360 degree RTS with the usual resource gathering but without the focus on buildings. your entire fleet can be hyperspaced away from the enemy. Superb for online or lan. Below what looks like a heavy cruiser engaging a shipyard.

One of the best games for stress release ever! Just started playing soul reaver 1. It took a while to get it working, damn 10 years old ps1 port. Blade of Darkness is indeed quite awesome, you would'nt expect it to be for a mindless hack&slash, but the attention to detail and the level design are top notch. I didn't like the gameplay much in any of the soul reaver games except the orginal 2d isometric Cain game.

Its a la fight club or memento where the main character has been deluding himself the whole time.

Everything has its allotted time. A bit nostalgic perhaps considering how much time one has spent typing with all you mopes.

The world needs people who will climb up a reactor cooling tower for no better reason than to wave to the cameras.

That's odd, beer settles my stomach, I often use it as a cure. Hard liquor gives me the runs, well, maybe that's because I only drink it in copious amounts or not at all.

I have a soft spot for activists, too bad these guys are such douches as I am sympathetic to their cause.

'Culling', don't you mean hunting/fishing, whatever it's called. Anyway of course I disagree with hunting endangered species.

That looks pretty serious, even more so if you have asthma or something.

I have been wondering though why they can't rig up a mortar device, like a potato cannon or something. Potato minigun prototype below. Maybe jerry rig one of these to fire stink bombs. Damn... I never found it in Clear Sky.

I've seen another episode since. They are getting their arses handed to them by the Japanese whalers who have the LRAD countermeasures, although they don't seem to do much, limited range perhaps. Their port authority, Holland, made them stop throwing missiles off the deck of the Steve Erwin, that's their ship, and throwing bottles from a dingie in rough seas with the target deck protected by netting, it just isn't possible. Instead they have been chased by the fast spotter ships while the rest of the whaling fleet goes about their business. Bit of an unfair match. Whale nuisance more than whale wars.

??? PETA. taks They aren't real, it was all spoof cooked up by the onion.

lol you literally live in a theocracy where you are taxed for a religion you don't believe in, but you think it's okay. This Is Capitalism. Yeah, but this way we have managed to keep the religious types placated and out of policy making. It's worth the cost. Every now and then we try to emulate the US and start a debate on gay marriage or abortion, but it never sticks, no one takes it too seriously.

I like our approach better, we have a state religion, Evangelical Lutheranism, we pay church taxes, but we never set foot in those places other than to get married or buried. We could cut the number of churches by 90% and still get by swimmingly. So is it all a ruse ?, maybe. Apparently you still have to keep up appearances though http://atheism.about.com/b/2003/06/19/doub...t-suspended.htm

Well he also wrote that if a system gets too oppressive and performs its role poorly, it is natural that it be overthrown and replaced with one that functions. Note of course that we are merely talking about removing a useless king and his inner circle, not changing the system itself. As one might expect there are several different schools of thought, but Confucius is not incompatible with rebellion, if that leads to a more 'natural' state.

look it's Confucius. I think it's more a situation where once hierarchy and tradition has been established they tend to be hard to do away with, as in they are effective in controlling our lives, not that we naturally lean towards forming them.

My motherboard reloads the CMOS data automatically if the machine can't boot, you might wanna invest in something with a feature like that if you have to rebuild most of your system.

Figure of speech. Although, he did create the foundation for Germany's rearmament using a system of Government bonds that ensured Germany could continue to run a deficit along with increased spending, like a second currency between industry and Government.

'RE Hitler's "brilliance": I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Dr. Schacht yet. He was the main architect of Germany's economic recovery during the 30's, clashing with the main man on several issues. He eventually got sick of raving lunatics and toadies (the two main constituents of the NSDAP), though.' I dunno, Hitler told him to get Germany ready for war in two years, it's not that hard to get the economy moving if you spend like crazy and borrow everyone else's money only to invade them before the payments are due.
