House has been awake since 2138. He sat dormant until 2274. The game takes place in 2281. He didn't invent any new technology since awaking, nor does he have any systems in place to create new technology. All his stuff is pre-war, and he's living off of it. He planned well pre-war. He did. I...

The Korean War - as in China's direct contribution to the Cold War - was not the modern age? China's military incursion into Vietnam to stop them from messing with China-backed Cambodia wasn't empire-building? East and Southeast Asia is as much China's as Eastern Europe is Russia's domain...

Unless, of course, you discovered a thing called "crawling." I hear even babies can do it. Also, what about children?

Let's break that down. "He just wants prosperity for the city." About the only thing he really mentions is his love of the city's pre-war heritage. He hates the people in the city. Consider: - He's violently expelled everybody who didn't want to be ruled by him. - He's forcibly...

There really isn't a single nation bordering China that hasn't at one point been bullied by China. Tibet was bombed heavily and annexed by China, China directly intervened in the Korean War, India and China got into a low-level shooting war with one another in the 60s, and about the only people...

I don't want much; I never asked anything from anybody. I just want to keep ruling Brooklyn as its lord and master. Why must you destroy my dream?

Of course we're going to be hard on them: Losing to Boston is one thing. Losing to Boston in such a manner that they get to take a victory lap and piddle in the sandbox is another thing entirely, 'cause they'll never shut up about it.

The misfits are, what? Five soldiers? You kill more than that just walking from one town to another.

Well, the thing is, most politicians are career politicians, but not necessarily in the same job positions - Sure, Charlie Rangel's been a congressman for longer than I've been alive, but most politicians basically bounce around a slew of appointed and elected positions. Term limits may stop a...

Anti-Materiel Rifle from far, far away while sneaking.

Oh, don't get me wrong - I love them winning. But for all their talent and strategy, they're fantastically inconsistent in the first half.

+1. Also, /cry

The stuff he released was American. They probably have more than enough to convince whatever country he's in to extradite him and try him in a criminal court in the States.

I'm guessing nobody bothered to fix up those city buildings because such requires quite a lot of labor that could be more productively applied elsewhere. Most buildings after fifty years of neglect - let alone two hundred - would require gutting and severe rehabilitation with new materials...

Sounds like you're hitting the limit of CRPGs. Technically speaking, all that you mentioned can be planned and accounted for... but that's a looooooooot of stuff to plan out and program in. In TT RPGs, the DM can ad lib and/or make stuff up on the fly - and every DM knows just how often...

Meanwhile the Jets are giving me heart troubles. Sanchez has pulled so many wins out of his ass at the last second, which is nice, but why the games were so close against teams that they should never have been so close (Houston!?) is just painful.

"I'm not going to speculate about his motives, so here's my speculations." You see the irony, no? You don't know who Assange is. Releasing American diplomatic records for the sake of doing so, without a specific reason for whistle-blowing, is at best a sorely misguided interpretation of...

In short, third person shooters with stat progression. God, I'm getting more cynical by the day.

Fallout 3 does not suffer from "blanks." Fallout 3 suffers from railroading players through nonsense.

When a quarter-million American diplomatic missives are exposed for the world to see, it's about America. It affects the American people. Ergo, in this case, it very much is about the American people. And what do you think Assange's motive is? What elected body commissioned him? Where...
