The story doesen't really lend itself to realism.

There are plenty of German ww2 movies, and some of them are quite good.

If you want stealth buy the new Hitman. The splinter cell games are nice, but there is something missing I can't put my finger on that meant I could never get myself to complete them despite bying two of the games.

What is the political message in 300. I can't really see one. It's about 300 Spartans who get butchered to a man in a last stand against Xerxes. Xerxes however loses because he commits hybris. American agenda ? Maybe if it was the other way around

And they outnumber the good guys 100.000 to 300 ?

Frank Miller didn't direct the movie, so who cares. Yes he has done some less than fantastic projects, but he has also done some extremely good ones. Sin City turned out rather well I think, there is some hope that this might too. Incidentially, there is no 'American' perspective to the 300 story. American military historians have a soft spot for ancient Grece, but I have a hard time seeing the story as analogous to anything contemporary.

It looks bloody fantastic and in keeping with the style of the comic. It's like one big battle of Helm's Deep where there are no elves or trees to come to the rescue.

Continued support for games is more an exception than a rule, although some companies do so in order to preserve the good name of the game. A good example is the total war series where patches still emerge 6 months after the game has been released. Not everyone can justify the manhours to the beancounters though.

Information wants to be free :ph34r:

I don't remember.

Realplayer is a horrible infestation on your system, the free version spawns popups and alters itself so it can't be removed from the startup process. I'm pretty sure there is a hack that will let you save streaming content in realplayer and you can then later convert, but I don't have much experience with these things.

you win, i clicked and you made half a nickle. Although my firewall prevented me from seeing what it actually was you were selling.

I had that problem too. I can't remember how I fixed it. Other than there is something you have to before it will trigger. Did the cutscene with Hanhar play ? Did you abandon finding the source of the secret transmission at some point ?

You do know that 99% of those 'caught on camera' ones are fake and paid for by the pepsi in the background right.

So we are discussing a situation where sacrifice is demanded in order to prevdent a country changing name. Well, stopping half of Germany from becoming East Germany would have been worth a measure of lives. On the other hand I don't think many people are that sad that the Soviet union is no longer. So I guess the answer is, it depends.

You have broken the circle of clowns !

It all revolves around one NPC and is pretty illogical, but there are plenty of other things to enjoy about the game.

I don't see why people should feel obligated to serve in a war they feel is imoral. A lot of people fled to Canada or Europe during Vietnam, and considering that the whole enterprise was a monumental failure I don't see how serving out of a sense of possibly misguided loyalty is better than refusing. A war where litterally everything is at stake like ww2 is another matter.

" Rommel and plenty other higher ranking officers who wasn't involved with the nazi party had been in the military since and during WW1. People don't just quit their lifes work overnight, Germany was their country no matter what, and it had enemies to vanquish (just as Japan, UK, whomever had). But I know it's oh so easy for you to sit there and pass judgement in the bliss of hindsight. Oh and I'm not saying the SS Wikings didn't know what the Nazies did, I'm just saying I can understand why someone would want to blow away commies. happy.gif" It seems to me that if your country's leadership takes a bad turn and you are asked to help make things a whole lot worse, you have a choice to make. All the usual comments about 'benifity of hindsight' aside. There are planty of explanations, but there aren't any excuses for chosing to support mass murder by compliance.

Rommel helped the ambitions of a perverse regime, but even his enemies said he fougth honourably, so he gets marks for that. The blue eyed innocence excuse doesen't work for the volounterr SS groups. You give them too little credit, they knew full well what the Nazi regime was all about.

"So can you really blame the Nazi storm troopers for being part of Hitler's army?" Yes I can, the SS were all volounteers, as was the vermacht officer corps. Low level officers and enlisted men are the only ones who could be considered free from blame for having participated in Nazi expantionism.

I have no loyalty to my country whatsoever

More importantly, does your cleaninglady give blowjobs to people other than David.

:crazy:

What does it matter what tonnage was intercepted if it didn't impact the market enough to change people's habbits.
