Because uranium mining is so clean and harmless. I prefer electricity from cleaner sources like hydroelectric, wind and solar. Sure, they might not be as cost-efficient, but people should also learn to use less electricity, from efficient light bulbs, TVs and computers to better window insulation, solar water heaters, etc, etc. It will be by far the best change we can do to help the environment.
So much for non-proliferation. This kind of thing is why I believe everybody should pull out from the Nuclear NPT and actually aim for a nuclear weapons free world.
It worked wonders for the US in Yugoslavia and Iraq. It works for other countries like Russia by avoiding the Libyan scenario in Syria. China effectively has to be more open and invest overseas to gain friends since they want to regain control of Taiwan (Chinese investments in Costa Rica), which means UN members has to withdraw their support on Taiwan.
The UN is a lot of things though, not just the security council. It is a great opportunity for world governments to consolidate policies, especially with things like the Millenium Development Goals. Like every form of government, it's not all bad or good, but just what we have.
I feel the same thing. WoW will always be part of my hall of fame games, no matter how many haters out there. I think the only games that can rival how much I played WoW is all my RTS games combined. So they must have done something right because I wasn't exactly alone and most of us weren't kids either.
Yeah, Outland was really good in many different levels. But that being said, Northrend did have at least one epic storyline, the Wrathgate quests where Bolvar Fordragon dies. Plus you have to admit that everytime you saw Arthas and Death Knights you truly felt like you were facing a badass at the same level of Illidan. Cataclysm was weak in this regard.
I don't think anybody in their right mind would consider the human king. Hell, even the dwarf king has more personality. The most important characters in the Warcraft Universe are Arthas, Thrall and the Stormrage brothers. Almost anything that happened in the game revolved around those three. That was before Pandaria of course, which I truly hope they don't use yet, since it will ruin a lot of other stories.
I'm not sure if you are actually asking how the orcs became like that or you are just saying you liked that part of the story. If it is the former, remember that orcs were that aggresive because of demonic influence. I don't remember too well, but I believe after the portal was destroyed that link was perturbed somehow and they became normal again, kind of the same way they explain in Warcraft 3. But as far as the wars, the first war ended up with the humans capturing Blackrock Spire. Second War with them pushing the orcs back into the portal and the expansion going thru the portal.
This is is most likely to happen. When I stopped playing WoW, at some point I tried Guild Wars 2, but in my case, I have already burned a lifetime of playing MMORPGs. WoW will always be a fond memory anyways, kind of like when you played Mario.
I have seen Warcraft books in Latin American bookstores and Asian bookstores and they do sell. I have read a couple and the stories are pretty good, especially the ones with Illidan.
No, the lore is there because some people grew up playing the original Warcraft games, so reading all that is actually pretty cool, and I'm really sorry that you weren't able to experience the single player aspect of the game a lot more. This is why stuff like QuestHelper killed a big part of the game. That's the whole point of role-play, that you make an effort to immerse yourself in the world.
I really don't get what's all the hype with 3D either. Very few movies can actually be compelling to watch in 3D, the new Star Trek being at least amusing in that front. But in general I think the trade off between having 3D and losing sharpness in the picture because of the glasses (or whatever it is that causes the distortion) is not really worth it to me anymore. I enjoy a Blu-ray movie a lot more than I enjoy 3D, but I don't go alone to the movies and it seems that a lot of people prefer 3D:(.
Well, WoW is pretty much the continuation of that story and to me that was always the biggest draw. Even when visiting Outland for the first time and remembering the scenery I saw in the original Warcraft 2 expansion was truly epic. But as far as stories go, I have to say that the coup d'etat in Undercity and the whole Thrall series, up to Cataclysm was awesome. I stopped playing when Pandaria came out but my friends told me it was good too.
Well that's what every big company is doing these days. replace Mario, Zelda and Smash Bros with Battlefield, Need for Speed, Call of Duty, Halo, God of War, etc.
But the big advantage that Nintendo has is that the games are great. Mario Sunshine was awesome, and then we got Mario Galaxy. I'm not much of a fan of Zelda or Smash Bros. but Mario alone makes the system totally worth it for me, and I'm totally looking forward to the 2-player mode of the New super mario bros with my gf once I get my Wii U.
To be honest, not having EA is a good thing. Nintendo focus a lot on quality games and it is precisely because of that they still haven't released games like Pikmin 3.
After having experienced companies like EA, which are the exact opposite, I honestly feel like I need to support companies like Nintendo. Just play Battlefield 3 and see how many expansions/DLCs they offer you. After the whole SimCity fiasco and having had a bad experience with Origin on the PC, I'm actively boycotting whatever they want to sell me. They have become the Microsoft of games. Rants aside, I do agree with the Wii Sports comment.
The main reason to switch is the HD graphics in my opinion. That was the biggest problem with the original Wii in my opinion. I didn't care about underpowered graphics or any stuff like that, because Nintendo is kind of like World of Warcraft: they make cartoony graphics that make having a good graphics card a moot point.
Some of us have to run Boot Camp because that's the best way to run PC games on a Mac. I would love not to do it, but I like OS X too much to ditch it just because of games.
I don't know why you guys defend one over the other. Both sides hate each other and have done outrageous things. It's like a fight between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union.
Lol what? Maybe you should read more, even if it is Wikipedia:
The British had notified the U.N. of their intent to terminate the mandate not later than 1 August 1948,[47][48] However, early in 1948, the United Kingdom announced its firm intention to end its mandate in Palestine on 14 May. In response, President Harry S. Truman made a statement on 25 March proposing UN trusteeship rather than partition, stating that "unfortunately, it has become clear that the partition plan cannot be carried out at this time by peaceful means... unless emergency action is taken, there will be no public authority in Palestine on that date capable of preserving law and order. Violence and bloodshed will descend upon the Holy Land. Large-scale fighting among the people of that country will be the inevitable result."[49]
The Jewish Leadership, led by future Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, declared the establishment of a Jewish State in Eretz-Israel, to be known as the State of Israel,[50] on the afternoon of Friday, 14 May 1948 (5 Iyar 5708 (Hebrew calendar date).[51][52][53] On the same day, the Provisional Government of Israel asked the US Government for recognition, on the frontiers specified in the UN Plan for Partition.[54] The United States immediately replied, recognizing the provisional government as the de facto authority.[55] Israel was also quickly recognised by the Soviet Union[citation needed] and many other countries,[citation needed] but not by the surrounding Arab states.
Over the next few days, approximately 700 Lebanese, 1,876 Syrian, 4,000 Iraqi, 2,800 Egyptian troops invaded Palestine.[56] Around 4,500 Transjordanian troops, commanded by 38 British officers, who had resigned their commissions in the British army only weeks earlier (commanded by General Glubb), invaded the Corpus separatum region encompassing Jerusalem and its environs (in response to the Haganah's Operation Kilshon[57]), as well as areas designated as part of the Arab state by the UN partition plan.
I have been using Bing as a good alternative to Google, and after some time I can totally live with either one. And believe me I tried a lot of different stuff, from Yandex to Duckduckgo. But even as duckduckgo is pretty cool, with Wolfram Alpha queries and all, it seems to me that it is slower than Google or Bing to deliver results. But from a moral point of view, the right alternative is Duckduckgo. Oh, and Dogpile is pretty cool for image search btw.
I don't know about you, but I'm despising Google more and more with every passing day. I think they are going to be right there with Microsoft if they continue down this path.
it's sad to live life blocking everything without even trying them. The PS3 is good, the Xbox360 is good, and even the Wii U is very neat. No matter what you get I think you will have a lot of fun. So just drop those crazy morals and embrace ALL, or as much as you can afford for that matter.
But if you think about it, why on earth would you want to play a FPS or an RTS with a controller when you have the best input devices for such tasks. So games that do require a gamepad like Assasin's Creed, Street Fighter IV, etc can be easily played with any gamepad controller on your PC. So I agree, the PC is the best gaming device nowadays. And let's not forget, no overpriced software titles.

For all the tales of horror with iTunes, I guess I'm the only happy user.
Well the IRS is a good idea, it's the percentage we pay in taxes that is a bad idea. How can a government function without taxes?

Yeah no kidding. Back in my days there were two competing systems and we now have three successful systems and people are still saying they will fail.
But if you think about it, why on earth would you want to play a FPS or an RTS with a controller when you have the best input devices for such tasks.
