Mysteries of Westgate
I think I threw away the NWN2 manual and the disk looks really raggedy You know there are things to be said for steam for a slob like me. No way i'm buying NWN2 again just to run this, unless it's like totally awesome.

Swine Flu
I wonder whats going to happen to an economy that's already struggling if everybody decides to stay home though. That might ultimately prove to be worse than the virus.

Swine Flu
This happens too fast for anyone to effectively stop it at the source unless they get lucky. Infections happen before the problem has even been identified and this was near a tourist hotspot no less.

Witcher port cancellad
I dunno, I could care less about console only titles as I don't have one. does that make me evil.

Swine Flu
I suspect that is going to happen quite a lot. Kids get sick and the parents think swine fever instinctively.

Swine Flu
hmm apparently the number of confirmed deaths has been adjusted down to just 7 in Mexico. This makes testing quite problematic. 3 doctors have died at the hospital directly responsible for most testing. This could make people cautious about showing up to be tested and instead staying home and infecting others.

Fallout, B. I. the hate, the love
Fallout isn't about realism, it never was.

Witcher port cancellad
Uhh, White wolf is canned, witcher 2 is a go. Both were supposed to be cross platform. What does this have to do with console versus PC.

Movies you have seen recently
The Spirit. Man, Will Eisner deserved better, fell asleep half way through. It was a really cozy little nap, but still.

Witcher 2# is still a go. Not like I was going to buy both new titles anyway.

Sweden visit
I'm guessing you've never met one. Wait a minute, are you saying that there is something wrong with Thai women now.

There's nothing wrong with Thai women But of course not.

It's a testament to Swedish men not getting out all that much and marrying the first girls who.. well.

If you want a seat on the train all you gotta do is cough really hard, you will have the whole car to yourself.

Sweden visit
Nah, decent beer has started to appear everywhere as part of the eco craze, except maybe concert venues where one brewery pays to be the sole supplier.

What you did today
I used to be a member of Greenpeace, now I'm embarrassed to mention it. I liked them better when they were just blockading illegal chemical dumps and getting arrested in new and interesting corners of the world. You know before they got so press savvy.

Americans set to get standardised/universal healthcare
Quite simply we view health care as an essential service that should be available to all, and you do not. By your definition the US has socialized fire departments. The point is when the **** hits the fan, help is available, be it your house burning down or discovering one of your kids has cancer. It's just a matter of degrees of differentiation.

Yeah Ronnie won the standoff with the Ruskies, but that don't mean it wasn't one hell of a gamble to make with the fate of the world at stake.

Americans set to get standardised/universal healthcare
What Taks means is a proportionally higher degree of redistribution, but that doesn't sound very catchy. Government does not own the means of production, nor does it limit personal liberty, unless you include taxes in that definition, and we live in market driven economies. The term socialist is used more as derogative to describe this expectation that government will provide in certain situations. To find countries that would actually describe themselves as socialist one would have to turn to Cuba or Venezuela.

Americans set to get standardised/universal healthcare
You're right of course, the only people who would describe the European health care model as 'Socialist' are Americans. It's just that I have given up trying to insist on the distinction.

Yay, nice cheap shot. Yeah that was a cheap shot, I got carried away I guess.

Americans set to get standardised/universal healthcare
And countries who have paid virtually nothing by comparison for their own defense over the past several decades should be ashamed for citing American debt. You overspent on defense to maintain a position of absolute supremacy. I suppose as demagogues go the US is better than the Ruskies or the Chinese, but the US didn't place the majority of it's medium range nuclear missiles smack in the middle of western Europe out of altruistic motives. Had push actually come to shove in the cold war Europe would have been a wasteland. And with a loon like Reagan with the finger on the trigger no less.

Gifted feels no sense of community unless it involves going somewhere and blowing something up. That's fine, we can't force it on him, or the us. [Tongue in cheek] They're animals anyway so let them destroy themselves. [Tongue in cheek]
