Oil is far more important than most think about. Its not just your car. Heating. Electricity. Despite what you see in many movies its also your kitchen cleaner. Plant food. T-shirts and shoes. Vitamins. Booster shots for your kids. Not to mention all plastics and laytex. Including the ones that are used as containers for bottles, iv bags and other medical related items. Disinfectant for hospitals. Lube for the machines that process food. Insect control for farms. Tape. Everything that needs petrolium based chemicals. So it is no wonder that nations fight over dominance to get it. Its an old maxim that when you take away all the things a society takes for granted it will demand their leaders to get it. They dont care how. These days if a country like the US has zero oil eventually eighty to ninety percent of its population will die.

This is the main reason why I am holding off getting BF3 for example, even tho the price for the premium game is quite good. Something can be an excellent game... in this case arguably much better than BF4... but often people will only play the newer one simply for that reason. Its newer. Doesnt help that the companies push this, as business is supposed to, but too many people ignore their better judgement and listen to them.

At their core all wars are fought because of economics. Its a very broad term but no more than 'religion' is.

An old joke. But great every time.

That looks like me in the mornings. The yawning not the fur.

Hi everyone. Posting a demo vid for a different gametype that in the future I can upload to the new ow2 server. Its called Battle Royale. An earlier test version of the game was on another XI server several months ago but it has gone through a lot of changes and is much more stable. It is an 'elimination' game with no respawn. All players start with an empty pistol and a knife. No primary, explosives or perks. During the game at random intervals helicopters will drop various kinds of care packages that will contain a random primary weapon, attachment, perk, explosive, primary/secondary ammo resupply or body armor. Any player can take it. Other than type, as shown by head icons, the exact contents of the package are unknown. If you have a primary, and take another, the older primary is lost. If that primary has an attachment it is also lost. Same with taking a new attachment. The current attachment is lost. Players can have up to three perks. If a fourth is taken the oldest of the three is removed. Players can only have one explosive at a time. There is also a single elimination server timer that applies to all players. If no player in the game makes any kill before the timer expires (60 seconds in the demo) a random player explodes and the timer resets. So it would be best to search for and destroy your enemy. In the unlikely event that the match timer runs out before all players are eliminated all remaining players explode and there is no winner. There are also rotating minefields that appear and disappear at random intervals. Since for this gametype to work it will require me to waypoint all maps in the rotation with sever side mod scripts it will depend on how much interest there is. At first the rotation will have 8-10 maps, mostly stock. And before anyone asks... no streaks. edit: In the vid, the player has 10 rounds in the sidearm on spawn but that is for testing only.

I might get it eventually but I would need a gpu upgrade. However the thing I like the most about it is that there are no serious bugs. A rarity these days.

I dont care what anyone says Novagas was a great addition. And I like purple.

In the air is better because you will get him before he can fire. Which is the whole point of hopping. Especially if he is hopping towards you.

If doesnt like the RC he can make his own mod. It would have been nice if he mentioned the name of it and the clan name.

Yes but conspiracy theories are more fun.

The more I read about this the more I think its NSA related considering many of the other things they did regarding 'secure' software and hardware. The timing of this security flaw is too much of a coincidence.

Simple. Lead in and aim where the bunny hopper is going and pick him off in the air.

Often businesses dont do things that are even in their own best interests until the public hears about it and screams at them. If the problem was fixed, and the fixes already made available some time in the past, then there is no excuse if some server is still vulnerable.

Gotta watch out for those pesky helicopters tho. With their cameras they can be dirty ol voyeurs.

Nothing new. We have congressmen in the US that said the same thing about cows.

If the server is populated enough over time maybe I will pick up the game since the premium edition with everything is only 30 bucks. I hate to say it but populating a server is worse than asking people to voluntarily have root canals.

There is revenge... and there is revenge. It depends which.

Those are funny. But it makes you wonder if some of those actually werent phone voice recognition but Freudian slips.

Yup no spoilers at all please. So far I have only seen season 1. We are going through a lot of the HBO/Showtime series that are now on bluray/dvd. Lots of catching up to do.

Then get off the damn computer and stop playing games in the morning.

What happens when more mushrooms start to appear?

The way the picture is placed it looks like he is staring at his own mushroom.

Lets see, in no particular order. Dexter Game of Thrones Star Trek DS9 and the original. Weeds Fringe Deadwood. Shame that one ended early. 24 BSG. The new one. South Park Japanese animation, Lupin III Urusei Yatsura The first Macross series (not the Robotech version). Nadia was pretty good also. I really dont like the more modern stuff. I went through all of the Sopranos on Netflix and it started great but it eventually got boring. Havent seen any of Breaking Bad yet. Just started The Wire. Walking Dead was ok but I lost interest in it. Maybe it got better. I like the new Dr Who. The older ones were ok but not great. So far I like Orphan Black.

With more Taliban like that there would be fewer Taliban to worry about.
