    Shiavo case

    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/7290818/page/3/ "By 1989, Rhodes says, Terri and Michael were having marital problems. The Schindlers have suggested the same in recent years. The Schiavos dispute that claim. Still, both Rhodes and Michael Schiavo (in an interview with CNN) say that the couple had...

    Shiavo case

    The latest poll I looked at showed Americans on a whole siding with the husband 2:1. The problem is the minority are the kind of people who vote in Republican primaries. Technically, Jeb Bush (governor of Florida) could sign an executive order and put Terri Schiavo into a state ward, but that...

    Kotor 2?

    If you are looking for RPGs, try Vampire: the Masquerade - Bloodlines. Its like a cross between Deus Ex and Fallout. Just make certain you have a good machine. Beyond that, I've been playing Rome: Total War lately and thinks its pretty good, all things considered. Then again, I don't play...

    Entering the Vault -Flash

    I've got a feeling with a little work this might merit a sticky... maybe. Heck, they stickied those diagrams Ratty drew, and this is a way to reach the attention deficit disorder poster demographic.

    Leon denies Troika rumours

    I want to say the DARPA is some department of "Defense" organization. I can almost assure you Troika wan't creating a "game" for them, so this probably was a desperation thing, and a very small project since it was never mentioned before.

    Leon denies Troika rumours

    Yeah, I don't think anyone believed it. As for the DARPA project, I get the feeling we better start building fallout shelters equiped with garlic and crosses.

    Problem with today's RPGs

    Nah, society was always a bunch of idiots and has been for some time and there is no evidence of that changing any time soon. What has happened is computers have become a defacto standard in modern life. Everyone needs email, word processors, and Map Quest. This includs stupid people, so...

    Man Loses Fingers In Quest For Girlfriend

    I don't know about your weather patterns, but here its the windchill that gets you. That, and I doubt this guy dressed warm, for some reason. "Canada? People go to vacation there, so it must be warm like Florida!", thought the man.

    Supreme Court says no killing teens!

    I don't think the Court based their desicion on international opinion. The constituition pretty explicitly bans "cruel and unusual punishment". I'm sure a lot of Americans would agree executing a juvenile is cruel and unusual. The fact that only seven other countries, countries that poster...

    Myst

    I loved it when it first came out, but it certainly had a lot of kinks to work out. I mean that musical piano notes to access the S. Age was just rediculous. I liked Riven even better, though I wouldn't have ever beaten that game if it hand't come with the strategy guide. Exile was alright...

    How do you define "RPG"?

    I usually say if the publishers claims its an RPG, the industry takes their word for it. Beyond that, I would say an RPG requires only two things. 1. A stat system that effects gameplay and can be altered as the game progresses. 2. To play a character distinct from your real life...

    New Oblivion Screenies

    Thief 3, yes, IW, no. Hmm... I don't remember anything that pronounced, though. I remember reading about the "bloom" effect at some website, and how it was all the rage. I think it looks a little overdone from these screenshots. Oh yeah, that ape thing is ugly. Not because its a monster...

    New Oblivion Screenies

    Here's one, why does every possible object and person look like they are glowing? This isn't ES:PA, is it? Take this pick of a skeleton. http://tes.ag.ru/oblivion/files/obliv26.jpg I see a lamp behind it, therefore the face should be dark. As it is, its like a seraphim. A scary...

    Per's Fallout Guide update

    Yeah, Daniel Webster was an early American statemen who printed a dictionary. Since then his name has entered the public domain, but since Americans still associate his name so much with dictionaries, every company slaps the name Webster's on their product. As for are movies and sitcoms, if...

    Fallout on PC Gamer top games list

    1. Half-Life - greatest PC Game of all time? I don't think so. 2. Doom - Safe pick, I can understand why they have it so high. 3. Sid Meier's Civilization II- Hmmm... Go with the original or the latest, why II? 6. Diablo- single handedly created a genre that has yet to produce one...

    Troika Eulogy

    Yeah, I didn't experience the Society of Leopold crash. I think it was a minority thing, but a significant minority. The only thing that really kicked me was not getting paid for food critic quest. I did get occasional CTDs when playing for three or more hours, but I always took it as a sign...

    For Americans- Is Torture acceptable?

    Yeah, a lot of morality can be subjective. However, cultures totally independent from each other often arive at very similar ideas about morality. For example, Confuscious is credited with an older Golden Rule, that is "Do unto others as you will have done unto you." I think torture is one of...

    Troika Eulogy

    No, not people, person. Last week's article was written by one person who is in the industry and expressing his opinion. One a lot of people through out agree with.
