I propose the Horse Armour - it's one of the deepest expansions I've ever seen. It's rich in details, adds replayability - and well - just plain good old fun!

first of all there is no such thing as an objective coverage of a story, never have - never will be. Your sources maybe bias or you haven't seen the entire scope of a certain situation. Yuusha, you're Indonesian and muslim - this doesn't mean that you know more about a conflict closer to Europe than the western world. You may have heard alot about it, because this is a conflict that is of great interest in most Muslim societies, but then again - how can you be sure your sources are not biased? Then there's also the problem of subjective information collection - you want to believe a specific truth and therefore you seek out various articles that support your claims - this isn't hard - but then again, just because you can find 50+ examples of Israliens massacres doesn't make every single Israli evil and doesn't mean the Palestinians haven't commited equal atrocities. (and most definitely not saying the Israli are "inoccent here, far from it! I'm just saying that maybe the Palestinians aren't that inoccent either) The argument of "who was there first" is flawed as well - because occupation of an area is almost always preceeded by driving others out, and more often than not, forcefully- the Palestinians did the same, so the cultural group who owned the region before them should therefore hold the same right to drive the palestinians out of the region, right?. Besides both Egypt and Turkey (even France and England for some years) held the region once as well - do they have the same rights to conquer it and defend their former territories? wouldn't this be the honourable thing to do in your opinion? - I think everyone in this conflict is insane - this however is my opinion and in no way a truth. The point I'm trying to convey here is; don't forget you'll always have a partial/bias view of events - and judge others opinions likewise and equally. It makes for a better discussion.

I'm gonna say Hellgate. Mostly because HL2 was great, episode 1 was ok - but I would rather try something new and Hellgate has a 50/50 chance of being either good or horribly bad. It's like legal gambling.

Like you say, California could probably survive as well as Texas (oil) but everone else would fold up like a beach chair as soon as Federal funding was pulled. I would like to say that alot of small nations in Europe are doing just fine, without any natural resources other than agriculture. My own country for one. The biggest problem facing the states would probably be infrastructure and national identity - as internal struggles could also be a problem and perhaps further brake up the state.

Natzis also killed gays, gypsies, handicapped, freemasons, jehovas witnesses, POVs and people who were deemed politically dangerous so the number does rise up to 11 billion people. 11 billion people are more than are currently living today. It's estimated that, including civilians, soldiers, POV, political captives, various executions and the Ethnical executions that 45-50 million people died in WW2 .. in all countries - but these are only deaths directly involved with the war. People dying of natural causes across the world are not included in this figure. Which means the various diseases that spread in 1940-1945, which also killed quite a few, are not included.

That's a really good idea - I always thought it seemed silly that you were a civilization that could create several different dimensions and use them as weapons, but couldn't colonize a planet like Venus. I still think it could be interesting if the races had different preferences in Planet types - like MOO3 tried to do. But that would seriously alter the game and maybe not for the better.

How many here on Obsidian is on Facebook as well?

Do you have Dark Avatar as well? They also have a second expansion "Twilight of the Arnor" coming next month that is supposed to be really good. No unfortunately not - but I'm planning on buying them next time I'm going to invest in games. Is Dark Avatar good?

Galactic Civlizations II .. that game is as addictive as Civ2.. *shakes fist at developers*

Human pride is a funny thing. 1, they don't want to be wrong - 2, it would rock for any scientist to rewrite the theory of relativity. So I think it's natural they jump to the most "convinient" conlusion.

Many things can be said about that guy, but he is a smooth talker.. too bad (for him) nobody believes a word he says. Maybe he should work on that inconsistensy of his. Saying he likes the Jewish people and calling for their extermination doesn't really go hand in hand.

This was totally awesome -

It gives you the right to be a jerk, but not screw people over - right - but I say that these guys deserve a little of their own medicine, they are bending the law as it is. And as such I don't see any harm in people doing the same to them. as long as it stays civil like this. As soon as actual laws are being broken and not just bend - it's no longer ok.

That's how a democracy works Vic. If you don't want to be a part of a democratic society, that's your problem.

*Shoots this thread down with the laser attached to The Architect's head*.. Way off topicness eradicated.

wow that's ... stupid..

It was, I had no idea that the HK-50 factory was supposed to've been set up by Revan.

I'm starting to dislike this divide between PC and Console.. Is there any chance it will come out for PC?

Operating system not supported - sounds like it doesn't like Vista - I would check out Deus Ex's homepage to see if there are any patches that support Vista.

I've gotten myself into a Queen phase. I realized however that I hadn't seen the band (video) since I was very young - so I fired up youtube and realized, for the first time in my life, that Freddy Mercury had the biggest overbite I've ever seen and was actually quite feminine in his body language. and after finding his Wiki entrance , read that he was in fact Indian (although born on Zanzibar), his real name was apparently Farrokh Bulsara. It's always wierd when these musical Icons become more real to you.

Pains me to admit it, but right you are.

I actually quite enjoyed it, but mostly because the acting was very good. To me it was a very typical Shyamalan movie - a good idea, good acting, beautiful artwork and setting, a mediocre execution and some wierd direction decisions. By wierd direction I mean how he handles suspense - he's very good at building it, but when the monsters show up it's always dissapointing.

A prequel would actually be very cool. The Time of Trouble would be an interesting period to visit.

who would make fake compilation if it required that many intruments?

While the idea of having a laser on your head is indeed awesome.. I think we've debated that issue quite enough..
