why information is not released early in dev cycle

How about DNF (For people aged 30 or lower; Duke Nukem Forever) -
Once again; just DL the fix from Gizka's site...

Not THE handmaiden, The ones in the Telos Academy...

Indeed. And it is even on page 1 too

Ah, but the US easily avoids this by doing their dirty deeds in countries were it isn't outlawed. Would you allow Torture in East-Europe, and leak it if it was in the US? Because in the US it is outlawed, but there in Eastern Europe it isn't...

What is your excuse for being online?

A "usefull" way to spend the next 40 minutes... What else to do? (Damn load noise already etc.) -
This forum automatically scales down images to fit the max. size requirement, so there is even no need to resize it...

Alright. Voted "Yes. If I felt it is morally wrong" (the top one). The Government should be to represent and protect the people, they can't do that if they do things that will jepodize (sp?) them... And if you leak those things out there is a high chance that the government should re-act and change their way...

Guess most people would do... And that is why none of us are politicians.

I think the chance is bigger we ask the current one to be gone, than that would be for the old avatar...

Seems like they made the 2006 with a typo in the begin... And yes, most are supposed to be released (altough you never know, S.T.A.L.K.E.R: Oblivion Lost anyone?) in 2006... That's why I find it odd that titles like UT2K7 are in it... if that doesn't hint at a release date in 2007 then nothing can...

Eh, what facts? I get a "search it yourself, because it is true" Nice argument, if the oppossition has to find your points themselves

It still says Dutch EDIT: IT STILL SAYS DUTCH... (look at other locations in your post) Edit; It says...eh, nothing now. Why? I do

Confusing Lucius and me, Numbersman?

A little help please? KoToR 2 not functioning

The 8500 is the "lowest" Radeon card that has Pixel and Vertex Shader. Since a GeForce 3/Radeon 8500 (because of these Pixel/Vertex shaders, needed for (for example) Force Sight) is the min. rec. req. why shouldn't a 9100 do the trick? -
Reason? Israel perhaps? I cannot recall that every terrorist attack made you invade countries. Al-Quada attacked a ship and ambassade before, if I recall, and on these occassions you didn't invade Iraq or Afghanistan, but tracked the people who did it and tried to get them... Note that Hitler was also democratically chosen. Same with the USSR-leader Lenin..., we all know how that ended. When the next vote was negative for Hitler/Lenin it was over with elections. Bush already cheated himself past election once, why can't he do so again? And 3 years is along time. Lenin/Hitler didn't take 3 year to totally annihilate democracy, and with the Patriot Act and such it looks like the US is heading that way too... On occassions... Source? As I still won't believe it, nor will untill you prove it. There haven't been that many coverups in the past that weren't discovered if it was for persons leaking, not the government/army deciding they just wan't to do so... And if the army is self-regulation what about Guatamalo (sp?) or the fact that the US forbid pictures of dead soldiers in Iraq newspapers, but hapily posted pics of Saddams dead sons...? Well, only if the military (read: press) finds out. I can recall a moment in the Vietnam war where soldiers brutally massacred everybody in a town. If it wasn't for an US-pilot that disagreed and told it to he press the Army would have never investigated it, nor even knew about it for that matter... PS. Humanity Sucks. We are certainly the LEAST intelligent life-form on this planet. Instead of letting the nature do it's job, we screw everything up with our creations, extinct animals and plants for personal gain etc. Earth is better off if we all died...

Well, they did attack first in the current "Terror War"... And they have been around since, well, about the Cold War, when the US helped the Taliban into power and armed Al-Quada He had plans for attacks on Iraq, before 9/11. The attack was just a nice excuse to execute his plan. If Bush really didn't wen't for Iraq, why wouldn't he spend more time in Afghanistan hunting down AQ members/Bin Laden? With Afghanistan, 100% agree that he wouldn't attack without 9/11. With Iraq 0% agreed... Except for the fact the US don't hun't him down anymore. If they didn't wen't for Saddam Laden would probably be catched, and the world alot happier about the US than it is now... Sure, he was deemed a threat. A threat for what? The financial position of the US? There were reports that Iraq had no WMD's (from the CIA) and that it was no risk at all. And "spontaniously" when these documents leak out some more info gets leaked out, forcing the leaker to quit. Quite democratic and "proper politics" if you ask me... Like said; because they won't leave the Iraqi without a proper government and in a secure enviroment... Well, why can a American terrorises and then get arrested himself, when as a Afghani does it it makes 2 wars in the Middle-East and allows for torture of 'whoever the CIA pleases'

The "US-Oppressor" was aimed at your position in Iraq. That *seemed* clear enough, guess not. Just like Saddam has its Army. I compare the NVA with Iraqi's army I compare the Vietcong with the Insurgents Because that is what each group is when you compare it... Guess what, we don't try to project ourselves as "Peacekeepers and Democracy-bringers of the World". If you try to gain a specific image, keep to that image... May I comment that it are 2 different wars. In WW II we asked for help (thus, there was a need for military intervention). Was this request there in Iraq? The Russsians weren't in the War (Molotov-Von Ribbentroppact) untill Hitler decided to attack them The British were in the war because their ALLY was attacked, which was Poland (is Iraq an Ally of the US, or did they attack an allied?) The US kept out of the War untill Pearl Harbor... So they all were already into the war and fought the war they were presented. All 3 didn't MADE was like the US now, or Japan and Germany in WW II...

Iraq hasn't even ended yet. And there were plenty of attacks on US-soil before 9/11 weren't there? I mean it was a "daily occassion" of some sort . Hell, how many US-soil attacks where there between Afghanistan and Iraq. 0? Then how can you blame Iraq for terrorism... Well, they did attack you first with 9/11 didn't they. And if you refer to the Crusades, I think they rather prefer to remind Israel and their main ally... It was no secret Bush wanted to invade Iraq from the day he was elected. Just because there were 2 wars after 9/11 doesn't make both wars a result of this attack... Hey, there have been hundreds of wars since WW II, guess Hitler is a damn nasty guy for making so many people warmongering... If there were, did they attack the US? No And still you connected Iraq to 9/11 before, and now you say it had nothing to do with it... you contradict yourself... No, but a large reason for unrest in the Middle-East is American Involvement, with Iraq and Israel... And the point of Timothy McVeigh was that you can blame Terrorism on the Moslim (like you do), but even without them you keep terrorists. Yes, even American on, like the Unabomber... Hey, didn't he tried the same thing with the WTC (blow it up), why didn't you start a war with those damn "terrorist nation of a USA" then??? He lived in your country, he was a terrorist. In Osama's case that was enough for an invasion... I ain't saying that the US is the same as Nazi-Germany. Due to advanchments like internet, stealth, nukes and such that isn't possible anymore anyways. But we know how dictatorial warmongering countries are born, and the US looks pretty warmongering to me... Oh, they did do some terroristic attacks here. Minor, far more minor than in the UK/Spain/US, but they still did some. Not that I really care about that, if their is a reason they do that, namely our government supporting the US' illegal war... I think you are wrong. How many times did somebody "investigate a case" when there was no case. It was leaked to the press, so ofcourse they had to investigate it then. Like I said before, the British Nude Fights never came under investigation if there wasn't a soldier leaking it, nor did Abu Ghraib was if there was no leakage. Hey, isn't there an investigation right now into illegal East-European Torture chambers by the CIA. Carefully investigated after a leakage. There is no way that they would actively investigate an unknown case if it wouldn't be known already...

It is indeed the CAUSE. Many people join the so called "Jihad" because of your arrogant actions all over the world. And why would Iraq be a RESULT of Terrorism? Were there terrorists in Iraq before the Americans came in, or did Iraq launched a terroristic attack on your soil? No... "The Middle-East is unstable" How can that be? OMG... did leaders just get "couped" without any plan for the civilisation to have peace and security? And terrorists hit the US for decades? Not just terrorists. Or did you think Timothy McVeigh was a Middle-Eastern? Well, I am not talking about your commercial companies. Just about your *awesum* government... DON'T tell me that Coca-Cola or McDonalds are governmental companies... Well, maybe we don't deal with these idiots because we have more problems with idiots who think their country is the r0x0rs and are arrogant they think they control the world. We haven't forgotten how Nazi-Germany was born, ya know. You really sure the US-Military leaked that out as a whole and such, if it was the US-Army at all (I don't believe a bit that that is true)? I remember how "The British Army" had some video-material proving that their soldier had a mean newbie-initiation existing of naked free-fighting. Ever thought the British Army would have made it public if a SOLDIER didn't put it online? Yes, that is exactly why I don't wan't more of our soldiers there, who are not allowed to shoot violaters (let stand those of the US that don't take it with the international rules ), and should listen to the commands of the US-Oppressor. Eh, may I remind you the Vietcong wasn't a "Armed Force", but a guerilla bunch, much like the Iraqi Insurgents right now. Stealth is their way to victory, not brute force (like a "Armed Force")...

always uses the PC's level (well, except for Onderon- Part II. There it will use the "Leaders" stats...)

Amount of components get for breaking down is depending on the REPAIR skill of the PC. So you might wan't to improve that a bit...

Whatever happened to F.E.A.R ?
BattleCookiee replied to Kaftan Barlast's topic in Computer and Console
That would be like stating that AoE 3 is an amazing advantage in RTS involvement due to the Havok engine... Meh, I don't see games as "more or less involving" due to Technical Additions, but more due to the overall spirit and goal... -
Nah. They did pretty well oil-like before the US stormed in. Hell, France even had his own personal Fuel-for-Cash system with Saddam, outside of the UN. Now they depend on the US, yeah, because the US took over the source. If a country depends on German-made tools, and we Dutch conquered Germany, you cannot say that that country was dependant on the Dutch all along... Nope. Didn't say that. I just said that the US is a bigger concern for us (and especially the named countries) than terrorist. They disagree with both, but if you have to choose from two 1 always looses Assuming I was a European Leader, which I am not. The leaders might had(/have) very different ideas than me. This shows for example in how I didn't wan't the country to be involved in Iraq, but the government wanted it, and currently want's to send even more troops (and you might have figured out I disagree)

Maybe they won't moan and piss about terrorists because the terrorists are no problem for them since they don't actively support the "World Preserver and Majorly Spoiled Brat" USA...
