Define "hard". Construction work is physically demanding but practically any human can do it, therefore the demand of workers in the industry is far below the supply. Programming is a very rare skill among the human population, therefore the demand of workers is above the supply. If difficulty isn't defined by how much of the human population is capable of performing the task, then what is difficulty?
Hungary abolished all independent news outlets and moved all public ones under close control of the government while the threat of nationalist-extremists towards any dissenters increases. How the hell are they still at only +10?
More importantly there's a healthy indie scene on the PC offering loads of games that you simply cannot get on the consoles while the number of console-only games has been much lower this generation than ever before.
MS specifically required Netflix to be gold-only. That's their way of justifying the 60$ per year, simply force stuff that's free everywhere else onto the subscription plan.
I'm letting my gold account lapse, not worth paying money for. If I want to play multiplayer I'll just do it on the PC, I can get the shitty listen servers for free there.
I didn't have that problem with Batman, my GFWL version was outdated and I simply refused to let it patch itself (I think I tried to allow it once, the update failed) so the thing forced me into offline mode.
Yeah, GFWL is a goddamn scourge and I have no idea why developers poison their games with it. Is there any benefit for them? Money hats or so? I've even seen cases where developers of GFWL games were having trouble with GFWL (certification, patch limits and stuff) and yet they still used GFWL for their next game.
Seriously there is not ONE good thing about GFWL that's apparent to me, even the ugly logo on the game box is a downside.
You get the choice in some games and just can't play online without the patch but having to keep the game running and unusable (because the GFWL overlay blocks it) just to download a patch is a fucking stupid idea that should have been thrown out the moment it came anywhere near a PC. That's the biggest failure of GFWL, it's designed for a console-like experience which doesn't make any fucking sense on a multitasking system like the PC. Say what you will about Steam but at least it's designed for the PC.
Generally that's a left/right split in Europe. The left are pro-stem-cell and anti-GMO-food, the right are pro-GMO-food and anti-stem-cell. The US left is roughly like the European right.
I'm pretty sure there are other "benefits" for politicians in Germany. Like the ever popular high paying board member job after retiring from politics. That's why it's so damn hypocritical that they're making big news out of the president while there are so many more important news stories to cover (Euro financial crisis, Hungary's descent into fascism, the whole Iran saber rattling, etc).
I don't think there's much advertising space that's visible from a plane. They could stick some near the runways but that would only cover a tiny amount of time and these games are about accurate recreations and I don't think many airports have billboards next to their runways.
If they launch missiles with that much range it probably doesn't matter what kind of warhead is on there, it'll look like a nuclear first strike to radars. Which could lead to the NATO countering with an MAD attempt even if the first strike turns out to be fairly harmless.
Yeah but on the other hand Vietnam was pretty much a vanity project with little at stake. This is a highly valuable shipping route for oil. Also Vietnam didn't result in major losses for the navy, just some dead grunts. Losing a bunch of carriers would be way, WAY worse.
The thing with nukes is that the advanced ones have a range that covers the entire planet. It doesn't matter if nukes are close to you or on the opposite side of Earth. The only difference it makes that Israel has nukes is that pretty much the entire region would love to piss Israel off and hope that the US is too wary of nukes to launch a counterattack.
Should carriers even get that close to the battlefield? Those planes have a huge range, couldn't you just park the carrier pretty far away until you've turned everything in the water into debris and flotsam with planes and subs?
And hell, if the Hormuz situation goes beyond saber rattling and the US suffers heavy losses then how likely is it that the US will unwrap the ICBMs?

Ask the guy to drop his pants, if he refuses he has something to hide.
Australia doesn't count.
In that scoring system lower is better. Also this is the first index that allows negative scores.

I think that's why online multiplayer is so popular now, it's the only way to turn most modern games into a fun challenge.
What I find odd is that Germany didn't sign it. That's the biggest economic power in the EU. I'd like to see the reason for that.

Clash of Heroes is a quality spinoff but unfortunately Ubisoft is still involved.
The 55€ MSRP isn't helping either.

That raises the question why the results are patentable.

C had an increase in market share as well even though that didn't improve its rank.

They probably shot a dummy or some rusty barge that was going to hit the scrapyard anyway. I doubt they have a shortage of those.

Besides, the Muslims that work pay taxes like everybody else. The ones that don't work don't get pensions either. So what's the problem?
