[quote]Actually Japan did invade many many countries back in the day that it personally didn't like... It was called WW2. At least ours got rid of a brutal regime that systematically murdered and executed over 600,000 civilians in Iraq. So if you think... "Yea, it was done just because we didn't like them" ---> Hint: don't always believe everything you hear on the news. And, the US did not 'invade' which implies: To enter by force in order to conquer or pillage. Conquering and Pillaging Ir

[quote]Ok - I faced a similar problem. Fairly early in the tech tree, the Yor found a Precursor ranger. Same situation - 150hp, and >100 in each attack category. Totally unstoppable. I couldn't figure out what to do. I just kept making peace with them at great cost. Then, one turn, I noticed that the Precursor ship was now Grey - it was now under control of the Drath Legion! What? Then the penny dropped. For a bunch of crappy tech (scatter blaster 1, soil enhancement, a

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." -- St. Paul, First letter to the Corinthians, chapter XIII, verses iv-viii.a, New International Version

[quote]Yes well, where would we be without educated guesses? An educated guess is the second step on the path of knowledge.[/quote] You're right... I make educated guesses all the time. It's necessary for survival. I just can't get my head around the numbers used in astronomy. Seriously, I wonder how capable we are of understanding the sheer size of the universe. Some think the universe is expanding. Into what? And how can we know how big it is if it is expanding? I sh

[quote]Although, when you think about it, deficits and run-away spending are not the HUGE problem a lot of people claim: they may not be the BEST thing for a country to do, but they don't actually HURT anyone. Now, econ crashes, terrorist attacks, wars, and all of the other stuff actually affect the lives of your citizens. Deficits do not.[/quote] In the short term...

[quote]on another note yes I watched classic horror movies recently. Some of them are better than the stuff that's come out recent.[/quote] That's because the newer ones are usually not scary...just graphic.

[quote who="xcorps" reply="1" id="2068194"]Heft, I bought that UFO Alien Invasion when it first released. I was expecting a clone to Xcom, and was disappointed when it turned out to be 'just' the tactical combat. Then was even more disappointed when the tactical combat turned out to be weak as water. I played maybe 10 hours before I tossed it. Has it improved greatly since release?[/quote] I didn't know you could buy it. It's free. And I think it's more than tactical combat
