It's all in the mind, guns are just tools. What the hell kind of new age hippie bullcrap is that. It makes perfect sense to limit the availability of lethal weaponry in the population. If you don't send the kids out to play with scissors, less kids are going to get hurt. Now of course there is one major caveat here, you have to reduce crime to a level that the population does not feel it needs to arm itself out of fear. I don't think the scientific approach of 'understanding crime' has very much practical to offer. Crime is a social phenomena, and all the experts in the world aren't going to offer much in the way of solutions. Forgive the Marxist departure, but the less difference there is between rich and poor the less crime will be a problem.

Still sore about that bit of skulduggery at the world cup ehh

A strong squad can never be about just one striker.

I dunno I just get depressed when I think of what they could have done with Homeworld 3.

It would be nice if they created a copy protection scheme that didn't involve always having the CD in the drive. I just bought Sins of a Solar Empire, and it only requires online registration, no CD. It makes sense too since the virtual drive software can fool it anyway with the help of stealth programs. Online banking requires an encrypted USB key, at least where i'm at, why don't they try something like that instead.

Sounds like a nice gig writing for dumbasses with too much money.

A shirt with color pictures of aborted babies, yum.

If our game had so little to offer that unlimited ammo was a big enough turn off that people wouldn't buy it, we'd still have much bigger problems than just having made an unpopular choice on ammo. Well i'm talking about the people, like me for instance, that are automatically turned off without knowing very much at all about the game. A lot of grumpy old men buy games.

Forgoing a proper ammo system for spending that development time elsewhere is a bit problematic. Aren't you worried no one will buy the game just on faith that it's actually a worthwhile trade off ?.

I still say theres gonna be a barkeep in there somewhere with rats in the basement. Just you wait.

Wow, so I can't even tell you how many people went to my profile just because of that comment! Holy Crap! lol +1

They are published by Obsidian here for promotion, I can't see why not.

So is the cat still in the friggin' tree

Judging from the last row i'd say safe houses are in, you know, a place to hang your guns in and shoot them at the various targets conveniently placed there.

They like it, and they have actually seen what were talking about. Of course thats no guarantee it won't Kane and Lynch 2 #

If it's a spy game you might get frisked before being let through and have to rely on what you can find, a la hitman.

I'm detecting a distinct war of the worlds vibe here. What exactly is the threat posed by Islam again. Conversion ? - hardly, that only works in quantity when you get them while they are young. So how are they going to impose sharia then. Fundamentalism is a desperate response to the challenge of consumerism, and perhaps this ties in with the taboo in images of the divine. If it's an image or a symbol it's not real, it stands in for the real, only belief that lives in the heart and mind is, and we are constantly bombarded with images that mean nothing. Perhaps this is why the insult is so grave, I can't tell since I have always had a healthy amount of disgust for religion.

No top down shooter worth anything has infinite ammo, non sequitor

Heidi Heidi heidi ho. Wait a minuite, who the hell was I thinking of.

I'm curious, what are 'European Values' ?

This is retarded. Anyway from a terrorist strategy standpoint I guess it makes sense. It's an issue that has shown itself in the past to be extremely milkable for outrage. Although moderate Muslims will of course be queuing up to distance themselves from this, the perpetrators are more interested in their own support base. In any case such overt violence will probably end up burying the issue once and for all. The cartoons will lose their capacity as a rallying point for outrages against Islam. Long overdue of course.

Edit : Wrong thread

Though my government do not recognize their right to marry and start a family, our law does not dictate their execution. Well hurrah. Although I concede that generally more and more Indonesian people are starting to adopt to the western lifestyle (increasing number of fatherless babies, premarital sex, AIDS, Indonesian Playboy magazine etc). Aha, so now AIDS is indicative of a western lifestyle. You could have fooled Africa, the continent hardest hit by the pandemic. The differentiation is not so much one of religion but one of fundamentalism. Islam is not liberal, although of course Muslims can be. The same can be said of Christianity, although when do you think there will be openly gay Imams, I think never, and yet I'm sure thats what they would have said of Anglican priests 100 years ago.

Teh end of level boss is the minigun Hitler robot from doom.

I guess the ultimate evolution is a game that plays itself without the need for cumbersome variables like players.
