What are you playing now?
Started a new Multiplayer game with some friends in Hearts of Iron 2 Armageddon. The Cold War just got really cold when Germany wasn't defeated and now (1948) Commitern Russia/Asia, The Democratic Americas and Fascist Europe are building up their respective war machines. it has a 1984 feel to it (except for the different ideologies).

More cops on the streets, does that ever work
Hells Angels had gotten their hands on some Army Bazookas and wanted to blow up a jail. Can't remember if they wanted to free their own guys or blow up the other baddies (it was in the mid 90's)... anywho, they were stupid enough to fire the thing 20 m away from the walls, since the rocket had an arming range of 30 m, it was kinda like shooting a giant metal arrow into a brick wall.. So sure, they have bazookas - but they are too stupid to use them anyway. I live in N

Fear this milk
Horribly tragedy and I really hope the Chinese Goverment is able to regulate these companies soon. A funny side not though - I was talking to a co-worker (from Pakistan) and we talked about, different odours and soon body odours (he started it). He pointed out, that to him most Northern Europeans smelled like sour milk. He was often annoyed by it and couldn't understand how we could stand the smell ourselves. I told him that people from the middleeast usually smell like strong spices to us.. I often wondered if we had a specific smell to us as well, I'm not sure I'm that happy about knowing, because man.. sour milk? I'd rather smell like spice any day!

Playing a cool multiplayer game in Hearts of Iron 2. We're 3 and playing the Axis powers. But I think we are gonna try a different approach. Going Germany, USSR and USA - and then aiming for a Cold War between the three.

Zombie survival
I know I guy who has designed a straw that can clean polluted water and filter out bacterias. I'll ask him if he can make some like this. Pretty handy for those post-zombie scenarios.

Dumb settings? I never heard that argument before, everyone I know who played the GTA series thought the various settings were hilarious and great. I really loved Vice City - running around in purple suits and looking like an 80's pimp. But I can see your point. I prefer a modern time as well, it's easier to understand the setting.

Correcting rumors about Sarah Palin
It never occured to you that maybe they are simply responding in kind? Some Americans are utterly convinced that their system, ideas, beliefs and convictions are the best in the world, without ever setting foot outside their state - We have those here as well - but there seems to be more of them in America, or at least more that are vocal about it. To me, it simply comes down to the fact that Europe is getting too "old", we as nations have been through alot over the centuries. While America is still "young" - this is the only thing I'm really envious of.. The spirit of America, that believes anything is still possible. But sometimes the rethoric gets a little boring. And yes, mostly likely that's because I wish we had that spirit at times. And to answer your remark on better service.. I was talking about nurses being more friendly, food being better (more choices) etc. Not the quality of the healtcare. Which isn't better than the public. This is of course possible because, being a smaller hospital and being more expensive than the public ones, they can afford it.

The Canadian and French public healthcare is actually pretty good from what I've heard.

Correcting rumors about Sarah Palin
I know you can't carbon copy our system and just implement it into the American infrastructure. But I think they could easily have a good public health care system, that works in tandem with their well developed private sector..

Correcting rumors about Sarah Palin
excuse me? the private sector is already running health care in the US (mostly), and it's better here than anywhere else. public education sucks, which is why charter schools are becoming so popular (and private schools already perform the same or better for less overall cost than public schools). private anything (mostly) is simply more efficient, providing the same or better solution for less cost. it's not just convincing evidence, it is overwhelming. what, you're saying it is moral to take from those that have and give to those that don't? violating one person's rights to favor another's? where do you get your morals from? rights are not rights if they favor one person over another. my only "responsibility" is to not infringe upon the rights of another. that is the only "moral" position, as any other creates exceptions that give more rights to the many while sacrificing the rights of the few. "there's more of us so we're in the right!" taks I think Northern Europe is a good example of public healthcare and school systems working very well. We have tried privatizing certain areas, like waste disposal and public cleaning, to great effect. So I definitely see the benefits - but to me it's infititely more humane to have free healthcare - so even the mentally ill (who can't keep a job), homeless, poor one parent families (who are struggling as it is without insurance) and everyone else can go to a good doctor in a good hospital and get fixed, no matter what their income is. And I'm proud to pay my 41% taxes to help out these people. Our biggest problem right now is not quality, but waiting lists - to that effect the few private hospitals in Denmark are taking in patients, while the public health insurance still covers it. I'm very much against making the entire sector private, but a few private hospitals can work to increase the overall quality and serve as an alternative to those who would rather pay for better service. So to me, a combination of both private and public, with an emphasis on public, is the best solution imo.

Spore!
That is true... although you could choose to go on a herb diet even if you are an omnivore. In essence making you Herbivore Poultry. Edit: But I have to say that the more I play the more I enjoy it.. The first 10 hours were fun - then the next 10 were a bit tedious (I got bored of the Space Age too), but now it's fun, flying around terraforming. I'll probably be tired of it in a few days again, until I discover something new and fun.

You get bonuses from each stage, that follow you into the Space age. After the first playthrough you can directly make a creature and go to the space age - but you lose the bonuses you would have otherwise earned by playing from Cell to Space.
