Wave of the advertising future, 'recommendations' on message boards and chatrooms. Or maybe he just gets some kind of spendable brownie points for signups.

Schedule a scan of the disk next time you restart, There aren't any easy cures to a failed installation, but it probably won't affect anything but the game.

I hate these test, I usually do fine with the shapes and associations and whatnot, but my math skills are always too lacking to figure out the 'two men dig a well' questions.

How about a bull**** story about WMDs ;P The US tried to make it a 'legal war' by attemping to discredit Hans Blix, and then presenting their case to the council and calling for a resolution. When that failed they demonstrated their utter contempt for the process by invading anyway. National interests always trumph these ceremonial international treaties, legality would have been nice for the US to have had, but it was hardly required.

"How can you have an "illegal war"?" The US and UK both are signitaries to the UN treaty, they weren't strictly allowed to invade other countries without the sayso of the security council. That makes it an 'illegal war', which Khoffi Anan agreed it was. Now of course the adherence to the UN treaty falls to the individual countries, and there aren't any means to make them comply.

You can't really win against an enemy who's only prerequisite for continuing the effort is the will to do so, while your efforts are being undermined on the home front. Bush and Blair both made a point to state from the beginning that they were in it for the long run, whether it was popular or not, but the circumstances are changing; the rising resistance to the deployment can't be ignored forever,even evoking the war on terror is failing to produce the desired results. Bush may or may not be correct in assuming he can produce'victory',whatever that is, but history tells us that the pressures on and the sacrifices of the American population are likely to be a greater deciding factor than overwhelming military superiority. As much as the right wing initially hated the Vietnam analogies, they just wouldn't go away, and how could they, being so deeply ingrained in the American psyche.

It would probably be copyright infringement to band together here and share the cost of the smallest batch available, mores the pity.

I think i'll go for the lazer death ray eyeballs.

It was a pretext, same as WMD, they did it because they wanted to.

Once Osama seemed quite unatainable the US sensibly went out and created some more terrorism to fight, since the desire for military intervention was not quite spent with Afghanistan. Now they are out there protecting America from another 9/11 by dealing with the hornet's nest they stirred up.... In Iraq.

You never read more than half of the dialouge boxes for quests because they are all so mind numbing. I don't think the engine can really handle an involved story unless they started doing cinematics instead.

mmm. the deadric realms were pretty disapointing in Oblivion.

:S

". Not too sure where it comes from, though >_>" It's Mike Mignola, probably a Nazi scientist about to summon Hellboy for the first time.

I have 15 turns left and control 38 regions as the English, unfortunately I will not be beating the game because I need Jerusalem which is being held by the Timurids, and whenever I fight them on the battlemap an unspecified crash error occurs, and my armies aren't strong enough to auto battle them. Probably my aging card which hasen't had a driver update in a year and on the verge of being discontinued.

Cricket and Baseball remind me too much of roundball, which is a kid's game where I come from, it's just barely a sport, like golf.

Bloodlines was an awesome game, unfortunately it got worse as you hit the last parts of the game, a testament to running out of time and funds more than anything else, I mean they released it with a fatal bug at the conclusion of one of the missions for heaven's sake. On the other hand the Quai jin conlusion was excellent. I don't think there was anything wrong with the ending(s) they just weren't spectacular, like many segment of the game were. Unreal 2 was never supposed to be a single player game, they just slapped together something willy nilly and didn't even include multiplayer functionality, a complete waste of money.

I have a question, how do you explore the new world and fight the incas ? I have almost run out of turns and I never got the option.

Just love of the dicipline really. As you may know I have been a long time proponent of the introduction of olympic axes to the death, to spruce up an otherwize pretty pointless parade of mostly non-sports, like walking and syncronous swimming,

Grizly hunting, with a fireman's axe, now thats interesting.

One side tries to knock a thingie off a wooden construction while the other side stries to whack the ball away, then they either run furiously or start beating eachother up. A bit like baseball I guess.

Oddball sport.

HL did well in the atmosphere department I think, except for the dopey aliens.

It's a sun sign, not a swastika, the Nazis stole the design.
