  1. Seems like we have reached to rock throwing and tongue wagging phase... maybe it is time for a break? It is possible (I've seen it with my own eyes once) to disagree without getting personal. Disagreeing good, makes for creativity, getting personal bad, kills creativity
  2. I don't like DLC But that is just one opinion
  3. It was wishful thinking on his part. He got lucky
  4. Still gestanden...
  5. Just pull a George Bush evasive maneuver on the shoe.
  6. Who said I had any qualms? I was just cleaning out some old browser bookmarks and remembered this thread when I got to this one. For all I care, wars could be fought entirely amongst the robots
  7. Not quite new, but strangely appropriate: Australia seeks new army robots "The ultimate plan is for groups of these sophisticated machines to be sent into battle to help neutralise the enemy. "
  8. I meant in IWD. I had forgotten that it also featured in IWD2 Edit: Didn't really mean from combat only perspective, just the experience of exploration.
  9. Nothing morally relative about this Jindo guy. He's a Lawful Good disgruntled Jedi, and that's about it. His "grey" light/dark force meter made no sense. Chaotic Good and you've got a deal >_ He didn't seem to follow rules that closely. My favourite Kotor1 character by far.

    Axis in WWII

    My bad. I keep thinking of it as a fall offensive for some reason >_ I still think they would have been better off attacking in late February or early March.
  11. Hand of the Seldarine/Severed Hand beats all other towers >_

  13. One word: Awesome! MC, are you sure you are not on a commission scheme somewhere?
  14. Nice read. I even learned something today
  15. I think that answered the original question. People are still welcome to discuss real world politics (the powers that be knows, it pops up every so often in WoT), but lets try and keep this part of our microcosmos about Alpha Protocol

    Axis in WWII

    Two major blunders... Not finishing off England as a combatant, leaving an allied "standing stone" in the west. Attacking the Soviets in fall, (I seem to remember reading somewhere that the generals wanted a spring offensive, but logistical problems kept delaying it). I wonder if they could have have waited until next spring though, as Stalins purge of trained and/or experienced officers was at its highest and the red army in complete disarray. They might have have been able to ship out new indoctrinated junior officers and ncos at least the following spring. He (Hitler) had a strange habit of being decisive in both opportune and inopportune moments. His ruthlessness prevented a total collapse the first winter, but the same ruthlessness when changing strategy on the fly, overruling army officers, also managed to spread the war effort thin against a numerically superior enemy, rather than decisively go for targets within reach. Leningrad and Moscow in particular. Oh yeah, and the assumption that the lines on the map actually meant roads.

    Axis in WWII

    Not very long. The Nazi "movement" was sort of an apt description. Being powered by dissatisfaction and hope, it needed momentum. If you slow down and break the momentum, it cracks and falls apart. War was inevitable, as it was needed to focus the anger of the masses. Try switching off the magnetic field that keeps a ball of plasma in place.
  18. ...and for the ill-leet-erates among us, what does tl;dr mean? and do I really want to know?
  19. Hills Angels sure knew how to turn a few heads I liked both Monty Python and Benny Hill. Got the complete Monty collection (the tv seasons, not the feature movies). Looking for the best deal on Benny Hill at the moment.
  20. The thread is getting a bit long. Continued here
  21. Start of old thread End of old thread Getting close to the end of Dead Space. After much Obelisk pushing and shoving, I met the end boss. It sure is BOSS sized
  22. That list just failed any and all saving throws Checking the list, I've played the following: Grim Fandango Fallout Sid Meier's Pirates! Battlefield 1942 Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn Star Wars TIE Fighter (I've played X-Com and Sim City too, but not on PC) I guess it is pretty pointless trying to create a list that mixes such a variety of genres.
  23. Your upload speed is so fast that your puny meat body can't keep up. He just wanted to illustrate that his upstream capacity was thrice his downstream capacity

    Books

    Hehe... nice idea. Unfortunately, the free shipping, supersaver and what else they have is void the moment you select a different country I try to "bundle" my amazon shopping. I've never bought a book there before though, only movie DVD's. Maybe different terms apply when buying books. I'll check it out.
