Perhaps they will have the wisdom to repeal some of the anti-freedom laws. It could happen.
I like Aoi... it's fun to catch other's moves.

When I had problems with my internet, they had me plug the computer directly to the internet to test it instead of going through the router. Sadly, it then worked, so I had a problem on my end.
Customers from other countries bought my product? I better send them money.
I guess the people uploading pictures today aren't very creative. A lot of them pay homage to that one...
If you were a fish, you wouldn't say they were innocent.
Back in my day, we used to blame individuals for individual actions that were against the law. Why are you blaming the entire navy?
[quote who="lulapilgrim" reply="5" id="3193238"]Obama just slapped the face of every entrerpreneur in the country! What an insult! Thanks for the article. You nailed it. This just goes to show Obama is not your average politician. Far from it. Obama has dreams...dreams of becoming dictator-king, and not only of the USA, but of the whole world. It's one more reason to boot him out this coming November election. [/quo
[quote who="heft" reply="44" id="3190314"]Quoting Jythier, reply 44Can anyone tell me what EU3 has that EU2 didn't? Better graphics, resolution scaling, the AI can handle the merchants for you...[/quote] I doubt that's worth the upgrade. Merchants is about all you have to do sometimes.
I've enjoyed learning about the gaming industry from your blogs. It's been quite enough, thank you, to keep me from ever wanting to make a real effort into that area. At least, never a commercial effort - hobby board game design is still on the table. I certainly don't equate money with happiness, and I'm glad you brought that up. There is a correlation, however. People with more money tend to be happier. The problem is that, due to the hu

Company of Heroes. There's just something about being able to launch an artillery strike across the entire map. Holding points instead of gathering resources (Warhammer did it first though) is what makes this game accessible to people like me. I can make combat units, and use them, and they also get my resources for me! I could never balance when to shift from economy to fighting... now I can just fight! Tropico. Build a city had been d
Government is, in my perfect world, an organization created to pool resources in order to provide those things that benefit all of our society. Police, Fire, roads, parks... I'm sure there are a ton more. Why they feel the need to go beyond these things to encroach into already covered areas baffles me. Anyway, you're right on. You paid the government for those services as part of a business expense. You built your business through your three ke
Yeah, well, I bought Tropico 3 and FS: Red three hours before they went on the even bigger sale, wasting $6 of my $20 disposable income. Actually, I would have just upgraded to Tropic 4 and it would have cost the same, but that's not the point. The point is, if you want something 'now' you're not likely to get it as cheap as if you want it 'sometime'.
I don't know if it's still kicking, unfortunately. Last I checked there was still a community around, but that was a while ago. I was never a good player, you see. I suck at anything in the first person... but I can build a damn good Tropico. It was fun to be a part of something, and maybe a pickup of your teammate's pod would end up winning you the game later, or repairing that bomber, or doing one of any number of things that I could actually do... simple
It CAN be. The base game is team-based a space-shooter. Well, sorta. As close to a space shooter as you'll get when there is also map exploration. So you have scout ships that you jump into but you can customize the loadout (so lots of probes to start) and then you fly around, scouting the map. Well, behind every team is a commander. And the commander CAN fly a ship, but his main job is to control the miners (not controlled by players) and direct the te
Sean, ever played Free Allegiance?
I'm still on VF4...
Why would you want them to shut down?
Steam Summer Sale. You may have heard of it!
Next you'll be telling me what a great source Wikipedia is.
No, no it isn't.
I'll try that link when I get home. My web filter blocks YouTube at home as well. :P I wasn't exaggerating about ALL computers I have regular access to...
The problem with organized religion is that, throughout history, people have seen the power of God in people's lives and have tried to usurp that power and make it theirs to control. Thus, the crusades. Thus, the inquisition. Years ago, Christian Spain kicked the Muslims out of Europe, but kept their policy of forced conversion. When that happened, people who were not believers were introduced into the church. The church became a powerful political entity in
I would be very interested but I still can't watch youtube videos. :(
My favorite is when someone comes onto a thread about homosexuality and asks people why they don't protest against other sins so vehemently. It's usually because we're staying on topic. Also, it's a lot harder to argue that adultery, stealing, and other sins are okay than it is to say that homosexuality is okay in this current societal climate. So, basically, we don't NEED to say we're vehemently against them and argue about them, because you probably
