Cheers for the detailed response Gonzalez, I'll expand this post into a more detailed reply - including more re the original topic - when I have time this evening.

5/10 better than the previous one! Really? Doesn't sound like punk to me. This is punk: <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/-KTsXHXMkJA" frameborder="0"></iframe>

Moria :P

ES: V I jest, Deux Ex: HR of course. edit: I've not played much of Portal 2, which I must rectify as I loved Portal. Still, quasi-RPG's with dark and immersive atmospheres and good mechanics > puzzle games as a rule.

Dutch Ghost's is Napalm: Crimson Crisis, I played this with my sister when I was about four! I'm pretty sure I've played the game aboniks posted, the name and details elude me though - will think on it. Only noticed this thread today, some serious nostalgia and misplaced memories as I read...

3/10 Not my cup of tea. <iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/ibRMmLlLz64" frameborder="0"></iframe>

I'll hasten to add that likewise I'm no naval expert, aviation is my area. Diesel electrics are often harder to detect than their nuclear counterparts, as odd as it seems. In all fairness the Argentine armed forces fought well in the Falklands and caused are navy no end of problems. As for...

Speaking of drones, as of two weeks ago the UK's second squadron of Reaper drones is based a few miles from where I live. It's a little surreal seeing UAV's, armed to the teeth with hellfire missiles, when your out walking your dog :o

*Shrug* Submarine warfare is one of two military specialities we still serve very well. TR-1700's are good submarines, but we have better and more of them besides. I won't even bother to compare the respective skills of the officers commanding them. True, however Argentina have few and their...

Rest assured that the British government doesn't view it as a turd; rather a future point of strategy, with respect to our share of Antarctica’s resources. So? That was 1833, long time ago. Virtually every nation on Earth could harbour similarly asinine qualms from past centuries. Achieve...

I don't associate Argentina with racism, certainly not to any great degree. Now the pleasantries are concluded, let’s discuss the Falkland Islands. Historically, Argentina does have a claim on them. But in modern reality? Sorry, but I can't bring myself to care about what happened in the...

^ Resonance. For the past 8-10 years, I've been torn between caring deeply about the human race and being apathetic (or worse). As the years have past, my internal dialogue has started to lean more towards the apathetic side - as fucked up as it sounds, part of me would really like to see...

I describe a pretty horrific lucid-dream trainwreck in this thread (my last post there), it probably won't make a lot of sense unless you also read my third most recent post in said read, and the original post from years back. Sounds like something from The Amber Spyglass. As for the...

@Wuk: I know what you are saying, but in defacto kind of way free will really doesn't exist. As the previous poster says, Hass articulates it very nicely. Of course in any given situation, the illusion holds up - so in many ways it may not appear to be an illusion. We are animals though, and...

Bingo. The arrogance of our species amuses me no end; we create deities and claim them omnipotent, yet we feel obliged to personify them and assume they give a toss about what we are up to. I'd imagine we are either entirely beneath their notice or simply there to amuse them, along with an...

I can ride and jump pretty well, it's not something which really interests me, however my sisters both breed and sell the things. Horses are really stupid animals; if you are hacking one in the countryside and it sees a plastic bag on a bush, it will freeze. You can spend ten minutes coaxing it...

When I think of the Fallout 3 setting, 'iconic' isn't the first adjective that springs to mind...

2/10 Can't stand that song. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iy1XHQQ-qiQ

Another problem with finesse is that it becomes fairly redundant when you get the sniper perk. On the other hand, fast shot becomes a lot more nifty when you get aforementioned perk. On balance though, being unable to make aimed shots during the rest of the game is very frustrating...

Good read! I don't know a great deal about the politics in question; I've always assumed (perhaps wrongly) that at some point in the future, China will attempt a strong military action to force union. As far as I can tell, China's entire naval policy is based around the future invasion of...
