    Lies they teach you in HIstory class

    "In November 2002, U.S. President George W. Bush, visiting Europe for a NATO summit, declared that "should Iraqi President Saddam Hussein choose not to disarm, the United States will lead a coalition of the willing to disarm him."[2] Thereafter, the Bush administration briefly used the term...

    Lies they teach you in HIstory class

    Yahoo answers is utterly trustworthy... Hitler - by far. Hitler killed people on an industrial scale - Treblinka, Sobibor & the other death camps were murder factories, Stalin had nothing like this. Stalin did not kill more than Hitler - The figures of 60million were based upon assumptions...

    Overlord 2

    I have to agree with the lack of attachment to your wife in fable 2, which also ties into the ending. The main problem was that, at least when I played it, the entire land of Fable wanted to marry me within an hour or two of gameplay (basically because I was rich), which meant you never really...

    189: ¡VIVA LA R3V0LUC10N!

    ... Was going to mock what I thought was a rather unsubtle attempt at satire... apparently I was wrong, having seen this comment thread. The internet is a scary place....

    Atheism Vs. Anti-Theism

    I'm having a bit of a problem with the wording of your argument here, in that I can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not! I think your disagreeing, and I believe you are arguing that the church should allow to continue what it is doing, otherwise that would imply non-seperation of church and...

    Atheism Vs. Anti-Theism

    It is also the dogma which means people in utter agony are unable to end their suffering, because religious people tend to abhor euthunasia for pretty much this reason. If religion works for you, then I guess that fine, as long as the extremes don't inform how you act. If you want to do clear...

    A mini Halo 3 review, in which I rant about AI

    Obviously I don't want the game to be impossible, but I don't think they should create sections that should be impossible if the AI was smarter. To knight templar... well I have played all three Halos, and encountered similar actions on the part of the AI... they're just not as aggressive as...

    A mini Halo 3 review, in which I rant about AI

    I have recently begun to play Halo 3 solo, while before I had only ever played the Halo series via co-op. I have to say, it's quite a different experience. I actually enjoyed it- theres quite a variety of fights, and the vechile combat sections are inspired and great fun, with enough checkpoints...

    What's your opinion: Boycotting the opening ceremonies in China

    It's a rather unexciting protest tbh, but protests can be effective- the Chinese government is responsive to international pressure, and in the past has changed it's mind thanks to outside pressure- see Amnesty and students for free tibet for that. Incidentally, guy who only gets kerrang...

    Poll: What are the problems with MMO's and what could we possibly learn inorder to make a better one

    I think you're being unfair to Wow, as many are these days- while what you say has some truth, there has to be a reason why the game was popular in the first place. It took what the biggest MMos had done, and gave them polish, made them more forgiving and more fun, and set it in a well realised...

    Planescape Review

    I had playing difficulty getting into planescape. I want to- I loved Baldur's Gate, but I found planescape extremely frustrating. I was unable to find more party members other than bob the skull, and despite mentions that I could become a spell caster, I found myself unable to work out how...

    Half Life 3 wishes

    Shadowskills note- "Dear Valve, can you make Halo 4 plz!" EDIT: On second thoughts, that might be quite good..... Still, I disagree with most of what Shadow says... I don't think a cover system, well implemented, would necessarily be bad- at least make Gordon more able to take...

    so... how good exactly is LOTR online

    I have to admit that before the march mayhem LOTRO had not infringed on my consciousness. I assumed it would be Wow, but in middle earth: it seemed like the most profitable course for any company to steer. It certainly has some... disturbingly... enthusiastic fans, so I wonder- is there...

    Baldurs Gate II, a console tards shocking discovery

    Hmm, I think I definitely need to get dungeon begone. On my umpteenth play through I gave up on the first dungeon, because, lets face it, it's dull. Other than the sheer densness of complexist within this games, there are lots of awkward things to this- the lack of space in everyones bag is of...

    Favorite non video game game

    In terms of roleplaying games, I'm a bit in love with WFRP (Warhammer fantasy roleplaying), and for board games? Too many to choose- Ticket to Ride, Betrayal at House on the Hill, Imperial, Puero Rico, Articulate....
