Does Metro 2033 count?
I think it's got the fame it's deserved


I think it got plenty deserved, but it wasn't hyped up before release which put it under the radar. Only later did I hear about it by word of mouth.

And have my country colonised and it's inhabitants treated like second class citizens (if that) for another 800 years? Fuck no.


And people wonder why the IRA and IRB got so much support*

At least, pre-1948. After that it was borderline pointless terrorism.

Does it have to be impartial?


I'm only asking because if it's anything serious news related, it's going to be virtually impossible to keep it unbiased from one side or another. inb4IsraelvsPalestineNews
If no, I wouldn't mind doing it.  :P


If it's game review stuff it sounds like a good idea, but we'd need constant in-flow of game/dev updates, maybe with multiple people to cover multiple platforms what with all their own exclusives or the plethora of PC mods available.

Serious / Re: Since I'm back from my long absence... SYRIA THREAD
« on: September 10, 2014, 06:07:53 PM »
But here's the thing you're missing. Most of the original pro-Democracy/Secular fighters have either given up the fight, joined extremist groups, or have defected back to the Syrian Army. What's left of the FSA is corrupted beyond recognition. So yeah. No more "moderate" Rebels. Now when Western media mentions them, they really mean the moderate Islamists.

Not to mention that most of the Syrian people are against a violent overthrow of Assad.


Oh...well, fuck them all then.

I'm not sure which would be worse.


Bashur Al Assad, an Allahwhite(?) minority government controlling an majority Sunni/Shia (and some Christian) country with an iron fist, or Rebels who could either be:
-Sunni (or is ISIS Shia? I never remember) extremists who will fuck up that entire area, inevitably resulting in Western intervention.
-Moderate rebels taking control that go down the same path as Libya, i.e. unstable, largely "ruled" by whatever group is in the area, constant in-fighting, etc.
Or...
-Moderate rebels take control, and all is well. This obviously being the most hoped for, but also the most unlikely.

No, it's just that when Britblunts have shitty teeth, they don't go to the dentist. So it doesn't get reported.


I'd have to agree with this. Also, there's plenty of other teeth problems, e.g. Ireland is apparently renowned for having a lot of overbites and misplaced teeth (like...really fucked up), yet we're even better than Britain at decay.

Hint: A well-known British figure (I just made it a bit harder to straight out guess, 'cos he's too recognisable otherwise)
Spoiler
Hint: WWI
Spoiler

Who are they?
Spoiler
1: Daniel O'Connell, fought for Catholic Emancipation (the right to vote) in Ireland in the first half of the 19th Century, and tried to repeal the Act of Union (Making Ireland independently governed)

2: Winston Churchill. I say no more.

3: Gavrilo Princip, the man who assassinated Archduke Ferdinand and caused the outbreak of WWI (and indirectly WWII). I wouldn't say he himself is interesting, but his act he carried certainly made history lessons fun (in a morbid kinda way).

When it is used to show respect about something/someone you know little about and could offend to the point of a fistfight it's ok.


When it's hindering discussion that needs to be done or important work (such as police work or national policies), then something is seriously wrong.

President Dave wakes up after an unusually long sleep to see his jewel of a city. After receiving note of Chairman Class' proposition, he politely declines for any more military help. After all, the city at the moment is practically an army base with 35 men inside doing intensive training and live-fire routines. Dave kindly requests to get scientific aid from his Institution techies, as Dave has plans to construct a shield fence around his state, envious of the Enclaves far superior tech.

Meanwhile in Denver, Bob had gone quiet for a strangely long time, but really Bob was biding his time and gathering his men to make the liberation process faster and easier for all. With his 60 men, he begins annexation of the east half of Denver, and a small band to the west to build up defenses and a buffer wall for later. Annexation expected to be complete by page 56. Bob sits in the Embassy, drawing up more plans for the liberation of Colorado.


Ambassador Bob is happy to report to President Dave that Denver has been liberated from the various savages "living" there, but at cost of a few men and a slightly longer conquest time. Regardless, President Dave is pleased, and gives Bob 2 pages off, which he decides to visit New Vegas (diverting around Legion territory and avoiding the rioting and looting inside NCR territory since their collapse).


President Dave sends his request again to Second Class to borrow some Institute scientists, bashing his phone repeatedly on his desk to see if the problem is on his end.


As for the Republic of Dave's military wing, his armies are becoming vast. At Dave Central, his armies have grown to 50 men, the extra 5 coming from more of Dave's efforts to increase the population. At the Embassy, Bob's Battalion consists of 77 men (13 men lost due to the annexation process of Denver). Before leaving to New Vegas, he orders them to begin a rough construction of a wall on to the far West of Denver territory, and prepare for further annexation of East Colorado...

STATS
Total Population: 133 (78/55)
Army Population: 127 (77/50) [Combat Armour + Assault & Hunting Rifles]
Areas Controlled*: Denver, Republic Of Dave.
*as an extension of Talon, though still will be labelled as "Republic of Dave"

ACTIONS
-Asks Chairmen Class to borrow 10 Institute Nerds...I mean Techies for a planned shield wall.
-Bob goes on vacation to New Vegas. Expected to last 2 pages. Army left to continue any progress.
-Bob's recruitment drive: +50 mercs every page due to annexation of Denver.
-Wall construction (facing the Legion, up to Enclave's walls with permission from TBlocks) west of Denver begins next page, expected to be complete on page 65.

-Dave tries to attract scientists from the Wastes while waiting for Class' response. +2 scientists every 2 pages.

Unless he said something else after I left or something privately to you, I don't see what the great offence was. All he asked was a single question for clarity which tbh I would have asked myself if it wasn't for the chance of this exact thing happening.

I do not appreciate being called "it" multiple times either. Sometimes I can ignore it, and sometimes it gets to me. I have dealt with this shit a lot though in real life, so I see no reason to expose myself to it online. I do not see why it would be a big deal that I am open about my gender, it should not matter. I am just me, people need to get over it.


Fair enough. I only heard him ask one question and then get a vulgar reply so I only got a part of what was going on. My bad.

I remember watching the endless war between pupils and IT staff over blocking sites.

The filter was so heavy handed that trying to do your history homework was futile.

BLOCKED FOR VIOLENCE:
CLASSIFICATION: SWORDS AND WEAPONRY

Then they blocked game sites, so people used proxies. Then they blocked proxies so people used proxies for their proxies and it all ended up ridiculously convoluted so they'd just turn on the screen monitor and watch what people were doing on their PCs all day.

1984 level shit ._.
Ugh, trying to do research on the Marian reforms was completely impossible on my school's computers.
ERMAGERD, DRAWINGS OF GLADII AND PILI! BANBANBANBANBANBANBAN


Same here, A Level History coursework became impossible at school because my essay revolved around The Holocaust and Anti-semitism...

I'm sure there's plenty of nice eateries in the UK where you don't order at a counter.


There is. Britain isn't fast food central...


But at most places, you have a choice how you pay (except most chippies, cash only). You sit your arse down, order the food, then when you're finished you either ask for the bill and pay by cash, or go up the front desk/bar and pay for your food by card (debit, it's easy as fuck).

Let's see, shall we:


-Ran over bees when I a kid (sadistic fucker I was), picked one up, got stung.


-Attempted to break a piece of wood in half when I was a kid, ended up headbutting a concrete windowsill full force.


-Got drunk (waaay later from ^), broke a thick plank of wood off my knee for a campfire, didn't feel the pain until the next morning -_-.


-Put a spoon in a microwave with my soup, fried the microwave.


-Worst of all, nearly killed me...turned a soaking wet light-switch on. That was shocking. They say it's the Amps that'll kill you, but 240 Volts really fucking hurts.

No, no. Everyone (apart from 3) finished A-Levels, it's just there were only ~15 people in my class. In my entire year (my class and another, 13A and 13B) there were about 40 people.
