I'm sure they'll find a way to rationalize selling drugs to the "heathen westerners". Digging up some old verse and (re)interpret it to say what they need it to say in order to justify it. I just don't see Iran (and Iraq) support neither ISIS nor Taliban. The latter are Sunni and would probably kill off the majority of Iran and Iraq's populations (being Shiite) given half a chance. ISIS in particular seems to have Shiite Muslims as their favourite targets.

What are you Playing Now: Living the Game Life
Gorth replied to Amentep's topic in Computer and Console
I think I'm getting close to the end of Dungeon of Naheulbeuk (sp?). It's been a fun dungeon romp. I'm not sure about replayability, but it's plenty enough content to make a single play through feel worth the effort. Even if not feeling like any immediate replay, I might pick it up again at a later date or hope for a second game in a similar style. Not 100% what to pick up next, but probably starting a game of Mechanicus and I also had an old Mordheim party that fell by the wayside a few years ago. -
The same reason people watch videos of car crashes? I played SR III quite a bit. The DLC too. But... big but... it was always co-op. The game is just fun mechanically and in an over the top way when playing as a team. My friend (a nice girl with a real killer instinct) was just the perfect partner in crime (the same friend I enjoyed completing Borderlands 1, 2 & Prequel as well as Portal 2 with). A very competitive person. Emerging game play much? Probably. Some games are just more fun when played with other people. I would have gotten bored with SR III shortly after start if I had had to play it for the story.

So far 60 dead and 100+ wounded. Including 13 killed Americans in the Kabul Airport attack. ISIS Afghanistan currently being held responsible... https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58349010 At least 60 people have been killed and 140 others wounded, a senior health official in Kabul told the BBC. The Pentagon confirmed US service personnel were among those killed - 11 US Marines and a Navy medic. The bombings came hours after Western governments had warned their citizens to stay away from the airport, because of an imminent threat of an attack by IS-K, the Afghanistan branch of the Islamic State group.

A few iconic songs from that time... Paint if Black, War, Where have all the Flowers gone... etc.

It probably lights up the No Smoking light in the passenger section... maybe there is a Fasten Seatbelt sign too The Huey has been known to transport passengers in the past.

To say something positive... I recently bought a number of games on GOG. Next on my to-do list is Mechanicus (the WH40k game)

Gorth's tl;dr; review... Legend and Underworld sort of Ok'ish, although not in any way capturing the old Tomb Raider "magic".... Anniversary: Never tried the game of the year (reboot) thing. Burnt my hands badly enough on the Anniversary game. Edit: As for why I don't like the recent games much, what made the original Tomb Raider games great for me were the great exploration experiences. Later they turned into very bad shooters. Seriously, even Mass Effect 2 and 3 did a better job at being third person shooter games than the later TR installments.

Ach, dammit. Broderbund was a big part of my early gaming history... Edit: The ones I remember having on my shelf, even if I didn't buy them all on the year of release (courtesy of Wikipedia) 1982 Seafox 1983 Lode Runner 1983 Star Wars 1984 Karateka 1984 Raid on Bungeling Bay 1985 Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? All of them good for umpteen hours of fun.

Sorrryyy... I did mention that the Australian government is made up of questionable people, fully owned by the Holy Trinity (the church, the mining industry and the fossil fuel industry)? Guess where the inclination to happily send all your money (privatizing the profits, socializing the costs) and resources abroad comes from. Not just the current government but the governments since the 70's really. Always looking for those party donations from those institutions in order to win the next election. Often sacrificing the truth and the interests of Australia in the process. Latest victim is the climate policy....

You gave that video more credit than it was worth and spend more time on this than I did... I watched the first 2 minutes of it, recognized it for what it was and then 30 seconds to share my thoughts on it. Yes, official Chinese propaganda is obvious official Chinese propaganda Edit: Yes, you are definitely right about the latter part, constantly feeding money into the Chinese machinery of oppression, control, terrorizing neighbours and bullying the rest of the world into submission is stupid. But greed makes stupid unfortunately.

Yes... this is the part of Australia I live in

Honestly? What a face palm moronic video. Did you grab that from an official party site link? The automatically generated robot voice sounds like it's reading the official party line through a piece of text to speech software. Best case, you don't know any better, worst case you are truly in favour of things slavery, koncentration camps, cultural and ethnic genocide and the principle of might makes right instead of any pretense of a rule of law.

Maybe Brexit isn't all what the British people thought it would be?... As funny as the title of the video sounds, it's just a symptom of a deeper problem. Empty supermarket shelves (Is the UK turning into the newest WP Country?), former busy transit hubs and strategic harbours turning ghost towns, a fishing industry that now has less fish than they had before (because, as a "sovereign nation", Boris Johnson can now sell the fishing rights to the EU) etc.

More Eivør. I think I did post one of songs in the past, so here is another one. This Faoerese lady covers a very wide range of styles (not all of them to my liking, but every now and then I feel my self caught up in playing one of her songs on repeat).

I've been a Monty Python fan since my teenage years. They used to show it on Danish TV (with subtitles).

Definitely a critical part of... something?
