    Why does youtube keep wanting me to watch that Swedish lets play youtube megastar 'cookie' something. Can you actually buy rankings in the search system ?

    Mark of Chaos and Dark Omen were great games, shadow of the horned, a bit too DOS ugly. Couldn't get into it. There was very limited choice of units though and the maps were a bit on the small side.

    Which is a good thing. It just goes to show that massive conspiracies almost never survive uncompromised.

    Have they actually done a warhammer battle sim that wasn't something else. I'm talking warhammer fantasy battle a la the Total War series. Two or more large armies facing off. There have been a lot of Warhammer games but they are either RTS or turn based strategy (TBS should be a thing as well surely) orientated, none of them have really tried to recreate both the scale and the tactic elements of the boardgame. Technical limitations perhaps ?

    You have to wonder how many of those Syria returnee scumbags there are out there. If it is known for a fact that they went there to fight for Isis would it be unreasonable to just tell them that they could stay away and revoke their citizenships. There is potential for a slippery slope kinda deal here with mass generalisations, but still.

    yeah so instead of small war it ended up as WW2, doesnt sound any better to me to be honest To be honest, if France and UK would only do as much as honor and execute the defensive alliance agreement that they had signed with Poland, there would be nothing even remotely close to the scale of WW2. Hitler called the bluff of UK and France, which he viewed as too lazy to react, and invaded Poland, allowing his troops to get experience, refine Blitzkrieg and extend economic power and production capabilities. If France and UK would respond to the aggression just as Poland was attacked, war would be over within a month with Germany losing. But it did not happen and we all know what happened next. Thats basically what I have stated They should have gone to Poland and fought the Vermacht after the battle had been lost ?. Not practical at all. The allies weren't going to get there in time even with the best of intentions. The French only had enough manpower for a defensive battle and in practical terms quickly settled into the idea of relying on fortifications. How they were eventually going to beat the Germans no one had given much thought.

    One of them is apparently already missing a finger, so even harder for him. My brain goes "wow, that's a crazy amazing physical feat, fantastic" while my vertigo goes "holy bleepbleep are you nuts why in the world etc. " Looks like you can walk up the other side of the rock. That's what I would have done, just sayin'.

    Looks like Divine Divinity.

    Not in hindsight certainly.

    The problem with acting sooner is that there was no middle ground. Stopping Hitler at any time before Poland would have meant war. No one was ready for it. The two major players in WW1, France and Britain, also disagreed dramatically about German reperations. Ideal ground for a gambler and brinksman like Hitler.

    They are all 5E on STEAM. j/k

    My nephew maybe, he said he needed to rummage through my box of spare converters and connectors.

    Noticed that Witcher wild hunt has 'won over 160 awards' and it's not even out yet. I guess that's more a comment on the inflation in internet gaming awards than anything else. I mean I could set up my own gaming awards in an afternoon.

    NATO bases, long leases. Their presence affects the local economy, you can't just have them up and leave even though they are not needed at all.

    I think I have the Radeon HD 7850, or 7950. Can't remember the difference. Higher is better ?

    The EU is planning to set up its own TV station to rival RT. Can't find a story on it atm. The level of deliberate misinformation and Russian trolling is getting to the point where it's hard for people to make out what is really going on. Of course there is every chance that it will succumb to the pitfall of becomming anti-Russian rather than anti-misinformation.

    And you're a moderator? Just ... What ?
  18. Gorgon
    Wow you really couldn't STFU long with your gun control debate. I understand that there were security personel and police first responders who were armed and who were killed ?
  19. Gorgon
    Never actally played Jagged Alliance. Heresy, I know.

    Maybe I should try something like this. I can't get myself to excercise just for it's own sake. I need to be actually doing something. Not many 90 year olds look this cool.

    MY BOSS ACTUALLY ALL CAPS IN EMAILS IF THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY IMPORTANT. CLEARLY THAT MAKES IT EASIER TO UNDERSTAND AND DOESN'T AT ALL COME ACROSS AS THE RAMBLINGS OF A 13 YEAR OLD CHILD. IF THERE IS SOMETHING REALLY CRITICAL, HE WILL TAKE IT ONE STEP FURTHER AND COLOURISE KEY PHRASES.

    You can do it with a molotov or a flame thrower burst, that seems perfectly in keeping with cannon, but they aren't supposed to be immune to bullets. Not that I can remember.

    Didn't think it was possible to have too much mood and suspense and not enough action, apparently it is.

    It bothered me having skulked about stealthily for the first hour or so of gameplay and seeing lots of guns lying around dropped by dead looters that I was unable to pick up because apparently that was not something the engine knew how to do. Had to wait for a cutscene. Later it became apparent that you can only really play the game by being stealthy all the time and it gets tiresome. You start dying because you get bored and start running around nosily to cover ground faster. The game never takes it to the next level and lets you fight an alien. The most you can do is to scare it off briefly. It's like a horror movie in the buildup waiting for the big scare moment, only it's like that the whole game. After the first few near heart attacks you get immunised pretty fast.

    I know there are certain arguments that certain people here are psychologically programmed not to accept, but it is not the natural state of modern man to be carrying around concealed firearms. IF, and that's a big if, it is necessary it is because something has gone horribly wrong in society. I suspect it's more a matter of identity, of projecting a certain aura of rugged self reliance, and of course the sense of security it gives which is perhaps more important than the practical application.
