To his credit Carpenter actually made some really fine films, The Thing is still one of my top 5 horror films of all time.

My daughter's first car had a manual transmission on purpose... I wanted her to learn how to drive a manual in case she ever needed to drive one in an emergency. She was free to choose an automatic fore her next car, especially since she was paying for it, herself. She bought a muscle car like mine with a manual tranny, because she "hates automatics". Like father, like daughter, I guess. LOL

Manual > Automatic. Always. Dont hate me coz I got skillz. Except if you re driving a Benz, in that case Automatic > Manual, just because.

Since this is DICE and EA, I have some trouble believing that a DoS attack is keeping their servers down for a 'couple' of days. Im thinking that their infrastucture was poorly operated and the whole thing came crashing down and now they are fixing it and invented this DoS bullshit so they dont end up looking bad.

I remember this fun game, DN3D style humour coupled with ninja weapons. Pretty fucking great, Im hoping it will follow the same style and wont be just another COD clone with ninja weapons.

I think the really remarkable thing in regards to Blizzard is that they still have over 8 million people paying a monthly fee to play an ancient MMO that was never really that compelling to start with.

Oh I dont know about that, it was pretty compelling way back when in Vanilla land....I have no idea why people are still playing now though, there is more handholding than in a John Green novel. Its more like an on rails adventure shooter than a MMORPG. But yeah, people are sheep and what the fuck do I know....

The robotic fly is amazingly cool but I couldn't help but notice it was tethered. I'm assuming the thin wire was for power. When will battery or "engine" technology catch up and be able to power this thing autonomously?

The 'engine' is fine, its the 'fuel' that is the problem. Right now battery technology is way behind all the cool tech that could benefit from miniturization.

The controversy surrounding this game would be funny if it wasnt so damn sad. Man I had such high hopes for this game before its release....

Did you try Torchlight 2? I finally started playing it in the last month, and it's pretty much exactly what I hoped D3 would have been...

And then there's the Synergies mod!


No I didnt. I cant stomach the very cartoony style. I did try PoE and found it to be excellent. But even though both of those games are pretty great, they are sadly not Diablo. Diablo (pre No. 3) was more than just the sum of its parts and Im sure most of you who were fans will agree.

You dont think that these people will assimilate and moderate their views, in essence become European?

I think there is plenty of evidence to say that they won't assimilate. Most recently being the Boston bombings. Where I live, the immigrant population is over 50%. They don't assimilate. Which is a huge problem when Islam is all about killing us. We should be making our economy work with fewer future residents than bring in as many immigrants.

The Boston bombings had little to do with religion and more to do with a couple of hate-filled sociopathic young adults who thought that they were making history. I also fail to see how an event that happened in the US has anything to do with Europe. Its nothing new in history, and its pure bullshit and its pure propaganda material, served up on a silver platter for the masses to consume. You can justify all sorts of shit when you have an easy scapegoat, that doesnt make it true. I for one find very little of value in Islam or any other religion for that matter, but that doesnt give me the right to discriminate against people who practice it or to automatically assume they are all evil, this is how wars are started. But then again, Im guessing those of you who argue about the 'evils' of Islam, Judaism or any other fate want precisely that.

Where am I saying they are evil? I am careful not to bring up terrorist acts, unlike Julio, but neither does he claim it so.. I think.

Again, you can ask the question: What's wrong with a Islamic Europe when there is no violence? What's wrong with a city where the native people are simply gone or can no longer be easily spotted?

Is that what you're asking? Is that rhetoric the sword in which you charge into this issue?

Actually my main point is that people are fucked up, regardless of nationality, religion or any other creed you want to claim. A psychopath next door who could endanger my family could be black, white, asian, muslim, christian, atheist, whatever...Im saying that it doesnt matter. Its useless to argue that Europe should be reserved just for Europeans because 'Europe' or 'Germany' or 'Netherlands' or 'Great Britain' are all invented terms. Its all bullshit and if you go back JUST 4000 years into the past genetically every single person on this planet is related and shares a common ancestor. Think about that for a minute. Its hard to let go of prejudice because its so much easier to hate than it is to rationaly think things through. Its just as likely that you will be oppressed by a Dutch ultra-nationalist (or even more so) than an Islamic radical. For some reason we are blind or more tolerant when one of "our own" does so but evil (or good) and evil deeds are colorblind and they speak for themselves.

No shit I'm afraid?! Do you live in Europe? If so, look around. They breed like cattle. Go the The Hague in the Netherlands, and I'll guarantee you that you will have a hard time spotting actual Dutch people. Now, if we don't talk about the increase in violence and say that The Hague isn't per se a violent place, we can debate why hardly spotting Dutch people is a bad thing, but that's just hitting philosophical bedrock with the shovel of a stupid question.

This... Islamophobia that you imply, is a term that doesn't exist, because a phobia implies an irrational fear. Seeing Islamic families of 8+ children; a people who's holy book demands them to "conquer the earth with the wombs of your women" and be a soldier of the jihad ( which is NOT simply a "spiritual war")... then fuck yes I'm afraid. I'm frustrated. I'm angry.

Nonsense & rubbish? No. Not at all.

Maybe if you had more guns you could shoot Islam.

Dont worry Im sure he will join the local SA soon enough right after he votes for Wilder's latest neo-nazi creation. Europe being populated by people of east-european/mideastern descent is nothing new or threatening. Its got nothing to do with religion either. These are immigration policies initiated by dropping population numbers since the 1950s at least. In fact these policies are essential as the indigenous european population is getting older, more wealthier and the birth rate is below the death rate. If you dont believe me, look it up. Without immigration europe's economies would have ground to a halt long before this latest 'depression' hit.

And one other thing Eldaron, do you really think that Islamification is whats going to happen to Europe? You dont think that these people will assimilate and moderate their views, in essence become European? Religion is dying in the west, no matter what anyone wants or thinks this is fact and even though Islam is still going strong in the middle east, it wont be immune to the fate that all religions suffer in our 'global' village.

Now STFU.
According to the anti-gun nuts, yes those qualify you to work for NASA and be a quarterback. Not to mention to be a professional truck driver across Europe, among other things.

Erm what? Is this analogy like the ones where people blame Obama for world hunger and George W. Bush for hairy vaginas?

I always wondered why gaming companies paid to license firearm names when Hollywood doesn't. I mean, I'm a firearms guy, but fuck them. Free advertising for your guns. Nobody asks Whirlpool if they can show their refrigerator in a TV show. Ditto for cars. So tired of seeing car manufacturers paid for using their cars in games. Shit, Aston Martin PAID MGM to start using their cars in Bond again after they went with BMW. Most companies PAY to have their products featured. Why should gun companies BE paid.

This. Exactly this.

Morrowind > Skyrim > Oblivion > Daggerfall > Arena. At least IMO, Skyrim is great and everything but Morrowind is still the pinnacle of the series. Both in terms of gameplay RPG complexity and writing/storyline. I hope their next single player Elder Scrolls bring back some much needed complexity gameplay wise. I think that the market has shown that they are mature enough to want it.
