I have three characters at level 20 in Age of Conan, but I've really struggled to get into the larger gameworld. Still, the starter island is like a very well done single player game, and I think it's worth the price of admission.

Dang, I have the same tattoo. I feel unoriginal now.

Uh...what about the kids whose parents raise them on junkfood? Isn't that a legitimate concern? I can understand adults pissing their health away on this stuff, but I think it's a bit messed up when children have to start their lives out obese because parents can't provide a balanced diet.

He's been off the bench for a long time. It will be an interesting tenure, to be certain, but I'm not sure if it will help or hurt the Lightning.

I just found out that Danny has a serious beef with Steroid. I'm pretty bummed because I've always found Steroid useful, but I've had Danny since the start and he's already been through some tough fights. I guess I'll have to fire the meathead. I also killed Micky, the animal merchant guy. Are there any consequences to that? I really appreciated the 10k in cash he dropped. I've never killed him before. Razor is seriously deadly for a guy with such a low accuracy skill. He seems to hit a surprising amount of times. Biff has a higher score and he can't hit the broadside of a barn.

While this is a less obvious advertisment for other websites, it is still pretty blatant. Go away.

This still doesn't address the suicide bombings taking place is Afghanistan and Iraq, and anywhere else in the world. Many of these attacks are targeting Muslims themselves. It just seems like Sunni's, Shi'ites, and any other Muslim groups should be reaching a breaking point where their differences are outweighed by these reprehensible acts. I'm really not addressing the Palestine/Israel issue, I'm trying to address what I feel is holding Islam back from complete acceptance by the western world. Your banner says coexist, and I couldn't agree with it more, but it really seems like Muslims should be doing more to combat extremists groups that are destroying the message of Mohammad.

I was trying to get Renegades Republic mod running, but I must be doing something wrong. I think it's Vista being a pain, most likely.

Like I have a choice with all this discussion?

I would really appreciate it if Yuusha would address the suicide bombings, given that a women just killed herself and 10 others in Iraq. Where is the strong Muslim outcry against this type of action?

This new inventory system is extremely awesome. Holsters for teh win.

JA2 - Thanks to the constant discussion here, I was forced to install and have another go through. I've started with Red, Bull, and Danny, along with my IMP guy. I just took the airport. I love the new inventory system, it's awesome to have to use holsters and not being able to carry 5 mortars around.

Um...we have a forum already.

Rambo - I really enjoyed it. Sylvester Stallone has done an amazing job bringing Rocky and Rambo back for a bit of a Renaissance. In fact I'd say this Rambo was better than any of the previous iterations, but I'd have to go back to really make that call.

While I agree with your assessment of the gameplay in Bioshock, Crashgirl, I'm also happy to see a game that creates a unique atmosphere and goes after some fairly complex subject matter. In fact I'd rather have mediocre gameplay and great storytelling than vice versa.

Yuusha, what about the suicide bombers? That seems to be a pretty big issue here. You keep using the word atrocity. I have no problem accepting that Israel and the US deserve blame for their actions, but as a Muslim, I would think you would be even more aghast at the individuals who bomb randomly in the name of Allah. They are the ones dragging Islam through the mud. The stance you take on this board seems to be "I am a Muslim, and I am educating western heathens." I celebrate Ramadan and I attend mosques more regularly than any Christian church. I've contemplated converting for the last couple years. There is only one thing that has stopped me from fully embracing Islam: The lack of a strong Muslim movement against suicide bombing. Seriously, there are millions of peaceful Muslims, how can they stand to allow corrupt imams to take advantage of the youth in this way? These imams are taking young minds and warping them so they can commit terrible acts. There is no issue that will be solved by suicide bombing, that is certain. So where is the Muslim response?

Yuusha always seems so argumentative, it's hard to have a real discussion. The fact is Israel exists. It's not going anywhere. There aren't really any countries out there that weren't founded by pushing someone else off the land. Jewish people were pushed out of different countries for centuries, so it's pretty hard to drum up much anger over the fact that they have aggresively settled in the Middle East. The countries that claim to have a beef with Israel need to get over it, it's nothing new and we can go down the list of countries that Muslims conquered throughout history.

I saw it today as well (while my wife watched Sex and the City). I was pleasantly surprised, the first one pretty much put me to sleep. Edward Norton definitely made it watchable. I think the most fascinating parts were the ariel shots of Brazil. I think it's the City of God they are showing, and it's insane.

Strength is also important for beating the stuffing out of chests and doors. Very helpful if you don't have your resident burglar on hand.

Just finished up Sam and Max: Episode 1 It was decent. A few puzzles threw me for a loop. The jokes were ok. I will probably try episode two down the line.

Godd job and good luck! What university?

I liked Ivan better in the original. I always grab Hitman. Sure, he's aged a good deal, but I have fond memories of him and he's still a great shot. Grunty is another one I had in the original game and grew fond of. I like Ice as well. And don't forget Hamous!

Well, the list of non-psycho killers in JA is pretty short. Besides, they have the best one-liners. Seriously, Razor and Haywire are the most entertaining duo in the game.

In the original Jagged Alliance, I had Fidel and some ditzy girl on my team. There were no night missions in the original, so you kinda just simmed to the next day. One morning we woke up, and the ditzy girl was gone! Fidel claimed to have nothing to do with it, but I think we all know the truth
