    War with Syria

    It sounds like you're rightfully annoyed that the US projects its power and have dreamt up some kind of fantasy where enough US soldiers die to enact a type of humility. I think you'll have to keep dreaming because A: Syria probably won't have the SAMs in time to use them, B: It's dubious about...

    Top 5 All Time Weapons

    I think most of the EQ epics place pretty highly on people's favorite weapon list. I really wish they'd do more epic quests that required both work from the player and work from a guild to attain.

    War with Syria

    I just don't see how this would play out like you think it would. Let's say the US launches a conventional air strike against Syria and a few planes get shot down from these missile systems. Do you expect the US to tuck tail and run away? It's one thing for US soldiers to get killed on the...

    War with Syria

    I'd feel confident in betting on the US military's ability to destroy those missile systems if they were present. I don't know what significant assets you expect SAMs to knock out.

    War with Syria

    I feel like this fact needs to be said more. It reminds me of the gun control fights that involve assault weapon bans.

    War with Syria

    I do agree that people comparing this to the Cuban missile crisis are overreaching.

    War with Syria

    I think we all are just frustrated with the establishment pushing for intervention and want someone to argue with. Eomer has a pretty weak standpoint of ambiguity, so it's much more fun to pretend he wants Syria to be the next Iraq, Afghanistan or even Libya.

    Grand Theft Auto IIIII - HDD City Stories

    I feel like it'll be hard to enjoy this game that much after playing Saints Row 4. "Ok Player, please drive this car across town and take out this group of 3 people." "HOW ABOUT I JUST JUMP 80 METERS IN THE AIR AND AIR-DASH GLIDE TO THE TARGET THEN LAND IN AN EARTHQUAKE THEN BLAST THE...

    War with Syria

    Depending on how the hand is played that seems very possible. But I feel like once the west releases the dogs of war and starts showing the difference in level it changes it even if the actual attacks aren't devastating. It's like if a level 20 warrior is beating on a level 15rogue and then a...

    Worst offenders of "zone rehashing"

    Zone rehashing wasn't a problem imo. The outland zones reused a lot of assets but the dungeons were all pretty unique. It did, however, reuse a ton of character models, but I'd say the scope of art assets was very huge for what they had to start with.

    War with Syria

    Only problem is that the US' credibility is very likely to look worse if we help Syrian rebels topple the government.

    article says it's 4micrometers, at 600million rpm that's around 125m/s right? Pretty cool. I wonder how much centrifugal force is exerted.

    War with Syria

    I don't agree that he wants us to do something so he can feel better about himself (at least not consciously). I do think that Eomer is using ambiguouity as a guard against poorly thought ideas. There's just no forseeable upside for any countries if we help the rebels in Syria.

    Worst offenders of "zone rehashing"

    Oblivion/Skyrim and WoW etc were much more acceptable because they had these massive worlds to fill. DA2 was much worse because it was a much more dense game. To put it another way, Skyrim had 20 different tilesets used in 300 places and DA2 had 4 different tilesets used in 20 different...

    War with Syria

    Eomer, three questions for you: 1. How certain are you that Assad used chemical weapons? 2. What do you think the US should do? 3. What do you expect will happen as a result of that?

    War with Syria

    Yeah I don't get this bullshit about Pres. Obama being powerless to stop war with Syria. I cut the potus a lot of slack for not being able to control the legislative branch but what we do with Syria is entirely up to him.

    War with Syria

    Good article. The thing that I always had trouble understanding was how the shit we pull in the middle east helped us get cheaper oil. We spent so much lives and money and political capital on Iraq but I never saw the benefit.

    War with Syria

    Seems like going to war based on a chemical weapons attack being performed by Assad is significantly dumber than going to war based on a wmd existing in Iraq. You can't prove that no wmds existed in Iraq, but you can prove that a chem weapons attack was done by the rebels.

    I don't really know what you're arguing for here. In our society people are paid based on their ability to generate income. Are you saying that we, as a society, should get together and vote on how people should be paid?

    Skyrim

    You get teleportation but it's so late in the game and so broad that it doesn't help much. You rarely traverse the same area more than a few times in Nehrim because unlike Oblivion/Skyrim you aren't sent on many fedex missions across large areas. Most of the missions are local to where you...
