For someone who has played and beaten Majesty 1, 2, all the Blizzard RTS, Supcom1 + Forged Alliance, C&C Tiberian Dawn/Sun/Wars, Red Alert 1-3, SW Empire at War + Forces of Corruption, Homeworld, Company of Heroes, COH Opposing Fronts, COH Tales of Valor, Warhammer 4000, HW Cataclysm and Homeworld 2, but hated The Sims -

Will I enjoy this game? Did they change it around enough to at least be like majesty or is it still dog shit in a box?

Activision-Blizzard only makes kiddie console crap.

I hate to burst your bubble but video games are made mostly for kids. Just saying...

something isn't right with their claims of plugging in any old guitar into the machine... they're not addressing how the analog signal from the guitar is magically converted into a digital signal the machines can read. that's why every other game that used 'real' instruments needed some sort of MIDI interface and instrument. plus the clip on the site shows absolutely nothing of value towards the actual use of the product.

something fishy is going on, way too much marketing hype too late in the rhythm game. odds are they're trying to sell an interactive tutor.

Haha! I was just thinking about this game the other day, wondering if it was still around. I remember how fresh and exciting a persistent WW2 battlefield sounded, and I also remember what a mess the game was when it launched.

How does Guild Wars 1 hold up these days? The trilogy is up for $30 on steam. Thinking about giving it a try until 2 comes out.

It doesn't hold up well at all these days, I would definitely wait on the second game. I was a huge fan of the first game but it's hard to revisit it.

Graphically it looks like buttocks, you can't jump, the scripting was novel at the time but has since been outdone and so on.

The only thing the US and Mexican government should be focusing in right now, is legalizing drugs. It's pretty damn clear Americans love to get high, and while it's a health issue, it's their choice, even if it's a poor one.

Such a false reason to legalize anything. The violence will never go away.

No, but it will go way down. Crime rose 24% nationwide during prohibition in the US. Murder was up 12%. It's not the druggies, it's the organized criminals behind the illegal drug market.

Have you ever been face to face with a drug addict? Have you watched a kid pick his sores even though there is no skin there and he is diggin in a blood pit on his arm? have you gone into a flop house after a bunch of junkies just ran from it? Have you seen how people in the throws of a drug binge live?

It is nothing like alcohol. I see both all the time. I have cases of both in my family. They aren't even remotely similar.

The drug war in the US is to prevent the drugs. The drug war south of the border is for control of the drugs in the area. The government doesn't give 2 squats about it's people or the "problem".

Huge difference. If you claim otherwise, you are living in a world with a different color sky. You want weed legalized? Fine, I really don't care. It doesn't get charged anyway at the local level in any form. The rest of the stuff....it isn't natural. It is made in a lab and it is not ok. On any level.

Legalizing it will just give them permission to kill eachother for the rights to the land where they are killing eachother. People want to legalize things for their own selfish needs, not for the better of the whole. if you were to even legalize weed and try and regulate it and "tax the hell out of it" like everyone says, they will just do the same they are doing now, but the price might go down.

Agent.X7, You're retarded.

That said, so are these legislators, and the Mexican government. All of it.

Juarez broke a new record this weekend, with at least 46 murders there.

I live in Chihuahua, Chihuahua, which is also in the middle of this "war on drugs" and also has tons of murders, which i sometimes get to at hear from my house.

You can't treat people like kids and tell them what they can, can't do. (unless of course they hurt somebody else, but then, we'd deal with those like we deal with drunk drivers)

The Mexican and American government stance on drugs is:

"sure, 30,000 people killed is bad... but drugs are even worse!"

This is a war that regular people (the VAST majority) here in Mexico didn't care to start in the first place, at all.

People want to get high? fucking let them, and just try to keep the people informed on what the risks are, and that's all you can do (it's not like prohibition has prevented people from using it in the first place)

But enough about that, and back on topic, i'm ashamed that these people are representing me in any way, it's like admitting they have no clue what causes these people to become murderers for hire.

Well, i guess it's not all bad down here. seems like my ISP is upgrading to FTTH GPON. ^____^
