short Empires Total War impressions
By 1945, the Bismarck would have been refitted with extra layers of barnacles all over It would probably be a fairer comparison, if Bismarck (and it's often forgotten twin, the Tirpitz) were compared to the ships it was designed to go up against, those of The Royal Navy. The Yamato (and the Musashi and the Shinano, the last two were never finished and were not named) was designed to go toe to toe with the US Navy.

short Empires Total War impressions
England pretty much "ruled the waves" from Aboukir Bay (1798) until the H.M.S. Dreadnought entered service in 1906. What was supposed to be ultimate terror weapon ended up being a shot in the foot. Suddenly England was only a single ship ahead of the rest of the world, rendering not only everybody elses, but also their own navy obsolete. At the end of WWI England "only" outnumbered Germany by slightly less than 2:1 in capital ships. And you are right, it wasn't the biggest reason for England entering the war. It was a constellation of alliances and intrigues and strange event that would have made Tzeentch green with envy

Log-in problems
Do you have dynamically assigned IP addresses? I noticed that I need to log on everytime I switch IP address, not when doing it from the same address.

UK scientists to create half human half animal embryos
Hmmm... playboy bunnies So, we could create a race made with the strength and stamina of an ox and the IQ of 50, just enough to understand basic instructions. Like "Dig!", "Kill!", "Lift!"... Time to place bets, who revolts first, the hybrids or the AI's?

I need help Running SWKOTOR2 (pc)
I see two problems right away... not sure what the fix is though It doesn't like dual core processors (there is a workaround for that) and I am pretty sure that intel gfx processors are very bad for it.

Stargate Atlantis, SG-1 & Sci-Fi Channel Thread
I would say, the series is better than the movie. Your mileage may vary Edit: I've read somewhere that the episodes of the series was shown out of order and with episode 1 missing or something. No such problem on the DVD boxed set

Movies you have seen lately
Little Shop of Horrors http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091419/ I probably listened to it more than I watched it, as I had just bought a handful of new Warhammer Fantasy/40k books Time to dust off some of the old W.A.S.P. cd's, they'll probably do better as background ambience for those books than a musical.

I can recommend Soylent Green. Very tasty!- Mass Effect PC gone Gold

I was only being semi-serious. I do believe that the human population as a whole has an upper limit for sustainability though- What are you playing now?
Unarmed solo? Sounds suicidal. Trying to punch out someone wearing power armor would seem unwise. I think if you get the Bonus H-t-H Attakcs, Slayer, Better Criticals and Earlier Sequnce perks (not to mention a lot of action points), you can do quite a bit of damage. The Mega Powerfist counts as unarmed for some reason.- Mass Effect PC gone Gold
I don't like online activation either. I'll wait and see if it doesn't end up in the bargain bin some day. Older games tend to have less of that kind of stuff when re-released as "nice price".- Alpha Protocol SGD
Yay, no forced Christmas releases please Though those probably results in better initial sales figures, or do they?- Want to Help the Planet? Just Die!
Saying that a constant growth of the human population isn't a problem is ridiculous. Earth is about 510227657730000 square meter (give or take a few) You can squeeze about 3 people into each square meter. Lets say scyscrapers makes up for the part covered by oceans. Thats about 1530682973190000 people, that you can physically fit in there (not leaving any land for farming or production). Trust me, it will be a problem eventually (reminds me of the old joke about whether hell is endoterm or exoterm...)- Zero Punctuation - Yahtzee reviews
As Mkreku said, velocity is a factor too. It's probably a question of total kinetic energy in the projectile.- Bioware - Are Their Games Actually That Good?
Definitely! You have your low lifes, good guys, stoopids, arrogants, psychopaths, cowards, drug addicts and a few more. Some are friends, lovers, ex's, enemies, admirers and despisers. Damn hard game to beat when it comes to sheer number and quality of npcs I always felt sorry for Dimitri- Want to Help the Planet? Just Die!
But, those selfish people eat all our bio fuel, how are we going to get to work if this keeps up I would hate to see humanity running in the same consequences as any other species suffers when they experience overpopulation: Starvation, infighting, cannibalism... all kinds of unpleasant stuff. - Want to Help the Planet?
