http://www.avault.com/news/displaynews.asp?story=2102003-7923 According to this story, release date is March 4. Actually, both sites also seem to have a two day discrepency over C&C Generals. Its possible that one is the day the manufacturer starts shipping the games in question, and the...

Well,... The thing in the modern day and age that's closest to McCarthyism is probably charges of racial bias on University campuses. There's a fairly simple formula involved. Charge bias, get a few key (largely black, as it turns out) minority leaders involved (usually Jesse Jackson and Al...

I've heard that Unreal II looks really, really good, but has one small problem. The gameplay, from everything I've heard, is strictly "average" (to quote Penny Arcade). There's nothing particularly wrong about it, but there's nothing particularly great, either. I should also note that, from...

The difference between Iraq and Israel is that we've never fought a war with Israel that ended with a peace treaty that stipulates that Israel agree to a set of conditions that its not adhering to. We fought a war with Iraq. Iraq lost. As a result of said war, Iraq agreed to a set of...

Have you read the text? Its pretty compelling in a few key points. 1.) The Iraqis are going to an awful lot of trouble to hide a lot of stuff from the inspectors. 2.) The Iraqi regime is intimidating its scientists from freely speaking with the inspectors. 3.) The US has definite proof of...

Ah, but you see, Saddam DOES have WMDs. He's even used them on his own people, after all. He doesn't appear to have nuclear weapons yet, but he does have chemical and biological agents, and those are considered WMDs. A few hours ago, I also read the text to Powell's address to the UN, and I'd...

I DID quit. Then Ghost told me to start talking about Bush. It's all Ghost's fault! :cool:

MSNBC has a list in one of their articles that details how each member of the UN Security Council feels about the whole thing. As noted above, Bulgaria and Spain (who are currently on the Security Council) both feel that war should occur with or without UN support. Germany, currently a member...

Pink grapes? Hmm. They aren't, perchance, being served by matching elephants, are they?

Re: I am surrounded by Republicans... Then according to your line of reasoning, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and Abraham Lincoln must have been our three worst presidents ever. A good president is one who (among many other qualities) is able to recognize when the sword is...

Only problem with that is that the first time I played through the mission where Thrakhath escapes, I ignored Khasra and his fellow assassins, and flew straight at Thrakhath. I then pumped a stream of fire into his fighter, but unfortunately, he has an invulnerability flag set (because he's not...

Starlancer tended to push the boundaries, however. The later missions would tend to "handwalk" you through the mission, and if you varied even the slightest in the course that was set, you'd lose - not because of anything that was on the battlefield. Rather, new elements (such as the infamous...

Space generally refers to the Spacebar. An underscore would be represented by the underscore character. I'd hate to play a game that used that key to fire your main guns, though.

I remember getting up early one morning to watch the Columbia's first launch. It was extra early for me, because I lived (and still do) on the West Coast, and Columbia was launching out of Florida. It seems like millenia ago now. Its still hard to believe that this part of space history is...

Two main things that I didn't like about the game - The later missions tend to be fairly scripted, and if you don't follow them exactly, you lose the mission in short order (things such as the cloaked wing of bombers that only appears if you don't take out the fighter wing in 30 seconds and...

Oh, there's no doubt that Blizzard has intended for quite some time to make a Starcraft 2. The 'hidden' mission in Brood Wars was a dead giveaway, as all it really did was raise a number of questions about what was going on. That mission was bait, pure and simple. The question is if and...

lol Good game. Too bad Cave Dog went down the tubes. And too bad TA: Kingdoms was so bad. I remember screwing around with TA in multi-player with one of my brothers over a lan. Neither of us had really played much of it before, so instead of trying to kill each other, we mostly messed...

Er... Maxis and Origin still exist, though Origin's sole reason for being anymore is to keep the cash flowing from Ultima Online. If EA is smart, they'll use the Westwood name for the new studio that they're creating from the combined Westwood and EA Pacific groups. That name is worth a lot...

Speaking of Westwood, I just spotted this article over at The Adrenaline Vault. http://www.avault.com/news/displaynews.asp?story=1302003-24843 Little warning bells are going off in my head right now...

Re: Re: Starcraft 2? Rumors...confirmed? I wouldn't really call that a Starcraft 2 cinematic. I think its meant as more of an easter egg, especially since a bunch of orks in power armor show up at the end of it. Another easter egg is that there's a hydralisk hidden in Night Elf mission...
