WHoohooo, go/. mod system. Sadly the(wo)mans point still stands. At least we're not such a bunch of fucking cowards in the US that we've allowed the islamists to dictate our speech patterns. Of course, this is the same system that has over 100 cars burned a night and considers everything fine and dandy.
Ah, but we have computer models that can predict, every time, without major error and minimal fudge factor, how those electrons will act in said semiconducting material. Such CANNOT be said of the current anthropogenic global warming theories. Toodles.
And where, exactly, is the liberty of the children in all this? You get your liberty right up until you abuse someone else's, at which point you give your own up.
This is because you don't grow nearly as much corn up in canada, and subsequently you didn't have a corn lobby to lobby for tarriffs on outside sugar. Fucking corn lobby.
Eh, I suppose it could have a hatch situated between the engines on the rear of the plane, but anything it would drop would be extremely small an realatively very light as they wouldn't want to weigh down the plane any more than necessary. All in all, a very inefficient way to go dropping ordinance on people.
*twitch* Yes, the 360 has a slightly better graphics card than the PS3; however, the PS3 has Cell, and when you task even a single SPC to assist the graphics card, it becomes much more capable than the 360's card.
Um, no. Both Van Buren(Fallout3) and Jefferson(Baldur's Gate 3) were canceled because Interplay couldn't stay afloat from all the other shit they were doing.
Yeah. About that.

Pete Hines: "Internally, not really. Internally, we're a bunch of Fallout geeks. There is nobody [here] who hasn't played that game and enjoyed it. I have that game on my laptop, I take it with me and play it. But it's definitely different, because it's not really considered ours, the franchise. We didn't start it. There is a little bit of that sentiment out there that we have to prove that we're worthy to be the guys to make Fallout 3. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, because we have very high expectations for ourselves. The standard that we hold ourselves to, the kind of games we expect to make in terms of quality, we have a very high level of expectation. There's really nothing like the people from the outside expecting more than we expect ourselves."
The notion that all Bethesda devs have played and loved Fallout is highly questionable, considering that in 2004, one Bethesda developer registered as HayT on the Something Awful forums stated:

Actually, you could do a FPS realtime version of Fallout, but it would have to be styled heavily towards the first Deus Ex in terms of interaction. In fact, you'd want more interaction. But it could very well be done. Of course, you'd probably be better off running it from the BOS than from a vault dweller storyline.
Apart from shininess and a general appeal to the LCD of the gaming population, Oblivion had very little to recommend it. It had great potential, to be certain, but as released it was a shit game. Of all my friends who play computer games regularly, not one of us found Oblivion particularly engaging. Obviously this is just a personal anecdote, but it still remains true.
If it's even half as good as Oblivion, this should turn out to be something very special indeed. If it's remotely anything like Oblivion, except for the fact that it's first person, it will have failed miserably as a Fallout game.
Actually, kung fu just refers to someone who is exceptionallt skilled in some area. So a garderner could have good kung fu, even though he might know jack shit about fighting. Being china specific would be wushu.
And this shows you don't know what the actual legislation is. At least currently. All the legislation does as currently written is to force information sharing on whether someone's been labeled as a danger to themselves and others, but it also allows someone to go back and expunge the record if they no longer are, which is impossible under the current system. Of course, arguably if someone's bad off enough to be labeled a danger to themselves and others they really shouldn't be walking around, but that's another issue entirely. It's not really a gun control bill at all, just labeled such by those to whom it would be politically expedient.
Having played both the original evercrack as well as currently playing evercrack 2 I think I can say that FFXII really wasn't all that much of a clone, other than they are both pretty much LRPGs. In which case you're pretty much going to see some similarity that's demanded by the nature of such a game.
Soooo, basically the game rants against capitalism, but in order to do so it sets artificial limits on said capitalism and than shows what in all honesty would probably be a relatively realistic portrayal of said artificially constricted capitalist system. Without room for expansion(what, they could make the original city but making multiple cities in various areas didn't occur to them?) and with the obvious limiting of resources within the unexpandable boundaries created by eventual population pressure, of course any capitalist system will go to hell, but that's true of any system that includes beings which are allowed to think for themselves. Now, a bee colony might be able to make it work in such conditions, but last time I checked, the entirety of the human race weren't a bunch of worker bees.
I found this really funny:
These plasmids let you modify and slowly build your character in a way not-dissimilar to an RPG. But don't tell Ken that. "This is not an RPG," he demands. "It's not about stats. This is about huge amounts of dynamic exciting player expression... thousands of ways to exploit the environment, take control of things and use the world to your advantage." He's passionate about this to the point of hyperbole and hand-waving. What exactly does he think the best RPGs aspire to acheive. Hell, what does he think any good DM with a couple of imaginative players can actually do in an actual PnP RPG?
Because any truly serious threat against the norks will result in at the very least several million South Korean civvie casualties and the complete destruction of Seoul.
Um, because if we wanted to we could just place a few boomers in the barents, kara, and baltic seas and just nuke them that way. Be one hell of a lot cheaper.
? Um, unless the russians are willing to fuck with the chinese over royalties, which is how the majority of AK clones are currently made and then sold to US companies in the US, it's a really fucking dumb strategy. Not to mention that the amount of AK's the CIA actually had made were fucking negligible. The distributors of this product are not in the US, the buyers are. Even in the US it's still perfectly legal to download music if you don't upload.

Most of the EU elite, and also pretty much the entire UN governing body.
Whoohoo, go /. modding system.

Yes..., number three, which is why the PS2 is STILL outselling the 360.
Ah, so THAT's what the whole NWN2 schtick was referencing. Okay, suddenly that whole part of the game makes more sense.
I could've sworn there was an article on this in some magazine several years ago.

No, they filed the patent before Pirates was released.
