How can recording the vapid conversations of millions of idiot teenagers be construed as counter-terrorism work? Also, Qwest was the only major telecom company that denied the government's request. I feel a bit better now about paying for their shitty DSL.

And Deus Ex was originally a fps/rpg hybrid. Shadowrun was something entirely different.

Oh shit, 1510. Kind of skipped over that part in the interview. But they did mention "beginning gunpowder", and the 30 year's war was the ultimate pike-horse-and-musket hoedown. Am i rite, guyz? I recognize that Westphalia came in 1648 and that Sweden's heyday was early 17th century to the...

There's a thread for introductions, if you'd like to be more formal about it. ;) I was in history and theater class with this one guy who introduced me to Fallout and let me borrow the first game to copy in its entirety onto my computer. I was about to ask him for the second game, but school...

No navies, no Sweden, Lithuania, or the Teutonic Knights? How am I supposed to smack bitches around as Gustavus Adolphus in the Thirty Year's War or tear shit up at Tannenberg? They should simply copy Knights of Honor or Crusader Kings, add their own free-form movement and battle system and...

I do know about Lo Pan, I've just never seen the movie he was in and so I wasn't familiar with the beam of white light effect.

I just don't know. 2/10 for figuring out how to change an avatar.

I've never finished it. I've come close with a populist government and a completely fascist one, but I never tried the hardcore communist angle. Perhaps I should! And you're spot-on about Kremlin. The game gets really frustrating real fast. I hate spreadsheets.

Unless you enjoy me talking as much as I do, skip the next paragraph. I've made it a mission of mine to track down as many geopolitical/grand strategy games that I can find, new and old. I bought Hearts of Iron, was dissappointed with its diplomatic model, tried Victoria and Europa...

My favorite overlooked console game of late is Dai Senryaku VII, which is a hex-based wargame for the Xbox. It's a lot of fun, even though the graphics leave something to be desired, the battle system is a bit simplistic, and the music is that weird rock/jazz hybrid the Japanese shove into every...

Oh, right.

What the hell is up with that sig. Also, that's an awesome YTMND. The music is spot-on. And not that I'm dissappointed, but YTMND indicated that there were going to be dongs.

I was at a place called Robie Creek, about twelve miles or so from my house in the mountains of southwestern Idaho. That was the front side of the mountain we ran over- the back side was wooded and far more interesting.

Well, good news for Valve and for Michael. Can't wait to see this, and what other promising titles Steam will be carrying in the near future.

Malignant tumors are hilarious. My grandpa and pet rabbit both died from tumors. Fag. 0/10

Yeah, I'm wearing the white shirt (#2053) and the erect posture on the right. The only pictures I have of myself are of races that I've ran, because I don't have a digital camera of my own because I'm poor and so forth. That was a half-marathon, eight miles up and five bone-jarring...

I'd suggest you read William Manchester's Arms of Krupp if you're looking for a chronicle of how warfare has changed over the past few hundred years, specifically with regard to the military-industrial complex. It's not too specific for modern times, but it definitely helps identify some of the...

Something From Wefunk Radio

I was saying that old growth forests aren't destroyed because we don't clearcut anymore. The forest is there, it's just that some of the older trees are taken out to let the younger ones grow in. That is good for the environment. Sorry if I wasn't clear enough. Well, part of that incentive...

What basic economic theory are you talking about? The theory that increased government spending not only increases GDP directly but leads to higher growth in the private sector thanks to the goods and services the government buys? Also, many of the projects had a direct and appreciable benefit...
