Star Wars Episode 7 Thread
I think he's more interested in filming deep sea wrecks, and who can blame him. It's a shame though. The blockbuster is such a boring formula and there are maybe a handfull of old timers who can almost do whatever they want just on the strenght of their name. Ridly Scott springs to mind. I hear the moses thing with Bale was terrible so bad example maybe.

One suspects they offered to buy them to stroke his ego. He must be aware surely by now that his name is mud.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
There is the principle at stake here. Coop only games are designed to attract the weak who would have been weeded and bullied out after trying multiplayer a single time and having had the experience of being called a multitude of colourful names they never knew existed. It's multiplayer with training wheels, it does not even deserve to be called so. These people should stick to playing candy crush and angry birds and leave multiplayer to those who can stomach it. The strong survive and become legend. But how can they hope to do so without wadning through rivers of blood and butthurt to achieve their goals. Got a little dramatic towards the end there.

There is something else though. The makeover is also to test the waters to see if a new HW game would be viable. So, fingers crossed.

Losing proposition to go directly for destoyers and battlecruisers unless you have teammates watching your ass. FFA is a crapshoot though, you can get away with anything if the circumstances permit it. In HW2 i used to demoralise cap rushers by targeting the research modules and make them rage quit. Cap rushers are on a very tight timetable and can't afford any distractions. IF they are the first to pump out a destroyer near an enemy MS, it's usually over though.

Going to get Wicher and then decide if I need to upgrade. Not upgrading so I can play one specific game at the expense of waiting for a more oppertune time. That would be silly.

"Interrogation at Guantanamo was left to untrained amateurs"
They probably want to keep it in the army. Make sure no law enforcement start to make additional legal challenges.

"Interrogation at Guantanamo was left to untrained amateurs"
Waits for 'get real' comments about how useful torture is. Easy enough to posit as what they said to people other than him is probably classified.

What's on the idiot box... Part 3
Yeah I was all excited about it, thinking it might be a good source of clips on the Silk Road and the Yuan Dynasty court. But it went off the rails rather quickly. The real story about the successive Khan assaults on the walled city is pretty interesting. There was a documentary on it on youtube but I think they took it down. But yeah, lots of naked concubines and princesses and whatnot and not much depth to any of the characters. It's Hallmark produced by HBO. (not literally)

Shadowrun Returns
Just started the Original Campaign after running through Dragonfall in a two afternoons. Combat is weak but writing is strong. I kinda think combat is so unimpressive that it should have been real time with pause or maybe diablo style. Mostly no real offering of tactical choices to justify turns so adding time and timing might have helped create a sense of urgency. For the basics of getting a turn based shooter to work. Xcom reboot is the new gold standard. Not really a place for anything that is demonstrably worse.

Another incident with black men getting shot by police
You could just view it as a logical result of an armed populace. The police don't shoot anyone in countries where beat cops don't carry guns, and that statistic goes both ways, cops are safer on the job when it isn't a well stocked warzone. I'm not suggesting US cops be disarmed, it's too late for that. Maybe those shirt cameras should be mandatory for every police interaction. Make it part of the chain of evidence/custody.

- Why ban our pretty lady thread?
Dunno, if I were to guess I would say it was deemed too much work to patrol the thread. Maybe someone thought it shouldn't necesarilly become a staple of the forum. Family friendly versus a certain sausage fest vibe. Not entirely unfair obejctions. On principle I come out on the side of the free exchange of thoughts and ideas nearly every time, just don't particularly really care this time.- EA Origin security breach again. Careful if you are thinking of getting Dragon Age: Inquisition
The long and the short of it is that it is unwise for web stores to save your credit card information after a transaction, but without it you can't just 'impulse click' and buy something. You would need to type in your credit card number again. The saftest place to buy things are stores that let you purchase with a 'guest' login.- EA Origin security breach again.
