Aaah! Those darn cut bits.

He was considered a betrayer? Refresh my memory, please. :"> He is a disciple of the Jedi/Republic, I believe, and later yours.

I've heard a few songs off it...not my thing. I loved A.T.D.I., but Frances the Mute just sounds like bloated seventies prog-rock to me.

As of right now, David Bowie...and before that, Coheed and Cambria. No, I do not have a thing for concept albums...:ph34r:

Yes, I know it wasn't a direct cause of terrorism or classifiable in your view as terrorism. What I meant to say: Certain events that came about because of the fear of Communism/arms race fostered terrorism. The West didn't endear itself to the rest of the world because of many things that went on during the Cold War.

If you ignore the resulting Cold War, then yes, it only truly happened twice. But the Cold War was one of the breeders of terrorism as we know it today: Exploitation of the Middle East + invasion of Afghanistan + invasion/bombing of Vietnam= (part of the) terror.

Well, when it's a choice between not having a job or working for the military, you'll take when you can to get food on the table. Too bad we're not all rich. Okay, let me make it clearer: It's bad when people are killed, period. Depends on which definiton you choose. I would say yes. It created fear and awe, it did not specifically target military structure, it killed indiscriminately. I never said civilians were worth more. I don't believe they are. Soldiers are trained for combat, though, where civilians are not, regardless of whether those soldiers want to be there. I wasn't talking about the quality of life. I was talking about parenting.

Kill yourself...? or to justify his existence: "Tell me I'm right, Exile! TELL ME!" Vrook is a lost little old man with no one to love. :'(

which is pretty sick, when you think about it. To make myself clearer: 100,000 civilians were targeted and killed. Soldiers know what they're signing on for; civilians do not. It's not just decadence...it's also of a lack of concern. Blame the parents.

Oh, only 100,000 plus the cancer/leukemia/radiated patients. That makes it all better. ...ahh, why are we even arguing? It's over and done with and everyone's dead. Hooray.

methinks murder can make people fearful as well... and the Israeli army waltzing into Palestinian border towns and killing children is not terrorism? So murdering children is "less" bad than bombing a dance club? You can rationalize anything. Both sides are guilty; the civilians are the ones who get caught in the crossfire on both sides. the U.S. destroys civilian settlements and infastructure. Granted, the army doesn't set out to do that (hopefully), but in the end the same thing is accomplished. So we're not terrorists because...we didn't mean to do it? About the Japanese: Let's do a little role-reversal. They drop a nuclear bomb on New York, killing countless civilians, because a ground war of the U.S. would be costly. Now would we call that terrorism?

Mario Cart is probably one of the best games for SNES. Hands down.

Silly European head games...

um, well, wow. I know a lot of Americans who hate Bush. Drop the "you're" first, as 49% of America DIDN'T want to give him four more years. And the majority of America didn't want him elected in the first place. Don't blame Europe, though? Okay, "our" president is a right-wing nut job, but last time I checked politics in Europe wasn't that great either. Chirac didn't want to go into Iraq because he didn't want to screw around with oil money that he wanted. Tony Blair is the Dubya of Britain. Putin hates democracy. What else is new? Trust me, there are a lot of Americans who hate Bush as much as you. Despite this, he is one of many, many bad men.

Not true--probably difficult, yes, but not impossible. Have you played Dreamcatcher?

oh, Deus Ex. Such fond memories. I adore that game. (It was one of my first games.) I've been playing it again, casually, and it's just as good as I remember it being. I chose the Illuminati ending becuase: (a) destroying Area 51 was unacceptable. Yeah, new age of man and that bs, but at least in 20th century capitalist America the majority of people could get food on the table and an education, which is more than you can say for the middle ages. (b) Daedalus was creeeeepy. Anyone who's seen any bad science fiction would be horrified at the idea. (And I kept thinking of the giant computer from the Hitchiker's Guide: "The answer...is 42.")

oh goodness...my mistake. sawyl = owned. :">

haha, it was a joke... I thought, "You know, with all the crazy obsession about BG3 it would be funny." But I guess everytime this topic is mentioned people start frothing at the mouth. it was about BG3 from PCGamer, see above post. we just seem to keep getting into arguments, taks.

yep, that's pretty much it.

touche!

haha, Fallout 3. but seriously...maybe it's KOTOR3 and an Xbox launch title? it'd make sense. Notice the question mark.

LINKY Didn't EA's propaganda machine mention something about "seeing the fear in the orc's eye" or somesuch? Curiously enough as well: the "New Project" subsection on Bioware's page has lost the console-only and the information page it used to link to. WHAT COULD IT ALL MEAN?

Baldur's Gate 3.

No. It's actually good to die occasionally, as some memories will only be triggered that way.

The problem is that in this situation it needs to be heavily armored. (It's a different kind of war.) Troops are getting killed by one guy with an RPG hitting a vehicle in their convoy. well, that was the original idea, until Bush and co. figured that they could fight this war on the cheap. And when that didn't work... I'm no expert, but I think the plates in the kevlar that reinforced sensitive areas (torso) could stop more "war-like" ammunition. It's true that nothing's going to stop an RPG hitting you, but troops were dying from being shot with more low-powered weapons that could have been stopped with this armor.
