I will definitely say the game poses tough questions and puts you in uncomfortable situations. Now they don't give you a lot in the way of choices, but I think that is part of their message.

It is? What sets it apart from other modern cinematic cover shooters? They went with an Apocalypse Now/Heart of Darkness theme with their story. While I'm not sold on them actually pulling it off, it is nice to see the attempt at not glorifying the violence.

Or are we just going to take a round of Jager shots?

Hitman Blood Money isn't long, but each mission is fantastically realized and has a ton of options. So it gets a pass Maybe it isn't as impressive today, but I remember it was the first game that really gave me the feeling of being lost in a crowd.

I'm playing Spec Ops right now and it is an interesting game, but I'd love to see them do something less shooty.

If they are going to devote resources to the space aspect of the game, they should get rid of the minigame feel of it and make a real space game where you travel from planet to planet, mine resources, and have quest hubs. I will not be subbing any time soon.

Around San Jose he has taken on the nickname of Teenage Mutant Ninja Hertl. That's a really long nickname. I think it is safe to say the kid has made the team, he was worried about heading back to the minors

I'm wondering what sort of countries you're talking about that don't have freedom of the press, yet have Western newspapers at their newstands. I was simplifying the argument a bit, since in the digital age the concept of press is much more complicated. But a country like Iran isn't necessarily completely cut off from Western Media, it just has a better chance of seeing only the reports that the ruling party can benefit from.

My post asks what did they need to put in 3D in the Great Gatsby, and by they I am referring to the producers. But I apologize if I was unclear, I guess a better way to say it would be what did they choose to make 3D that made it unique. I would still really love an answer, as I haven't seen the movie yet. I honestly thought we were friends at this point Volourn, I did not mean to upset you.

I was just interested to hear how they used 3D that you found to be awesome and unique. It was not meant to be argumentative.

I'm biased since it makes me sick, but what in the world did they need to make 3d in Gatsby?

Oh please, stop exaggerating, criticizing Islam is not the same as being an enemy of it. That's like saying I'm a Nazi for criticizing Israel. Which I do. I am talking more about a matter of perspective. From the perspective of a person living in a country where there is no freedom of the press, opening up a western newspaper and reading criticisms of Islam comes across as much more threatening towards their way of life. Couple that with the outright lies that many extremists groups propagate, it is very easy to understand why Muslims throughout the Islamic world believe the biggest threat to them is the West. The path to peace requires peace, understanding, and acceptance on all sides. Criticism has its time and place, and it isn't at the start of the discussion.

Very cool to hear about the MMX patch. I've only dabbled in it, so I'll be happy to start a new game with the new classes.

I'm very curious to see if Thomas Hertl can maintain the play he has had in the first few games of the season. If he does, he's got a good chance at rookie of the year honors. The kid can play, and he's getting a spot on the top line in San Jose.

That image does bring back some fond memories.

That is also why it is important for the Western media to make it very clear that there is no master plan to wipe out Islam. There is tremendous ignorance on both sides here.

Playing the BF4 beta made me decide to install BF3 and see if it runs better than it did when I played it at release.

I prefer to have two snipers, one that can shoot anywhere on the map, and one that can move and shoot.

Princess Diana?

The A's have hit 3 home runs by 3 different guys. They are in the bottom of the 9th, hope they get it done.

I'm pretty shocked that no one wants to start Tebow, since there are some terrible teams with bad QB's out there. But I also understand that coaches have certain systems that they are comfortable running and Tebow is not suited for most of those.

I would love to see another BF2142, that game was cool. I think they also need to do a real BF1942 follow up, not just a map or two tribute.

I'm still grumbling about the browser launching stuff in BF3. I played the beta for BF4 and it seems more stable, but I'm not sure if I will get it. The magic that was BF2 is gone.

Religion is also an efficient way to build communities and encourage charitable acts, so lets not get carried away with the "religion is teh bad!" nonsense.
