Socialism v. socialism. This is what the thread should be titled.

I would say so.

Oh, great! Yet another person that installed a free SDK and thinks they are now a well organized and professional game studio that warrants their own thread. =/ So a small team is going to model all 17 special forces, their kit, and weapons? What about animations? How many think this number will decrease over time when they realize how much work this would create for them?

Actually this company was inspected by the TCEQ in 2007 (http://www.tceq.texas.gov/news/releases/4-18west). But go on with your smart comments designed to do nothing more than troll. Anyhow, I live about 250 miles south of West, Texas, and I noticed something odd with all the reporting in the last few days. The media keeps referencing the town as a "small Czech town." I guess that means that most are of Czech heritage? I'm sure this is pointless to even mention. I just found it very interesting. Photo from one of their recent Czech festivals.

Boston Globe is reporting that LEOs have stated that one of the suspects is who the FBI is looking for, with the second guy still on the loose.

I'm about to go Walker up in here. I mean I'm about to get all conspiratorial up in here. I found this picture post on OperatorChan, and it does look like these two people could be responsible? Looks like the one guy on the right looks overgenerous, while the other looks like he is out for revenge.

Meaning it will come to Steam soon? The only reason I don't buy War Thunder is because I don't want to install the Yuplay client. It's another reason I haven't yet bought BF3, because I don't want to use or install Origin. I just want one client - Steam.

I've been playing since the OFP: CWC days and a frequenting these very forums for just as long. If you have been around long as I have you would know what I'm talking about. He always calls someone a "troll", hence why I said he practices the dark art of dehumanizing those he disagrees with. If all else fails, he then results to Plan B, just ban or give them infractions. I only called him grumpy because a few people over the years that sent me PMs referred to him that way. I figured they knew him a lot better than I did, so I felt it fitting to explain his character. Instead of discussing why he doesn't like Steam in any substantive detail, he turned the conversation into personal attacks, as usual, even after I gave him advice on how to handle the Steam issue. He clearly views Steam as some evil force in our society and forces him to do evil things, much like Baptist saying we need to prohibit alcohol to prevent infidelity and fornication in our society.

Look, it's pretty common knowledge that you are the grumpiest person on this forum. You fly off the handle for the simplest of things and talk down to people like they are complete idiots. So yeah, it's not surprising you found something else to hate and will stop at nothing to dehumanize people for liking or finding no fault with Steam. You then create some "consumer rights" theory out of thin air, which I'm to understand means W0lle's theory that he should have complete power over everything in the universe to fit his wants and desires at the expense of everyone else's. Would you say that is an honest critique of yourself, W0lle?

I don't honestly care what your value judgement says your "rights" are, W0lle. If you don't like Steam, then (i) stop using them or (ii) buy from a store in Europe that sales video games? Pretty simple idea I just threw at you, huh?

This thread was going so well until you threw a monkey wrench into the gears.

Ah, yes, consumer rights. That's code speak for blame someone else for a product you don't like when you could have simply done a little research before you opened up your wallet.

Are you sure you and I are playing the same game? I hardly call The Crown a small base. While I'm not disputing it's not normal, I hardly call it fun to be shelled/naded every two seconds.

Is this on Steam yet?

This latest patch has me scratching my head. It feels as if everyone on the other side is or wants to be a sniper, as I see more sniper kills than from any other weapon. If that doesn't kill the game for me, I feel as if there is constant spamming of nades, cannons from the tanks and rockets from the rocket pods on the aircraft that I feel as if the game is trying to deliver an experience of what it's like to be buzzing after a few Long Island Iced Teas. Yeah, I'm just not feeling this new patch. Hell, it's even hard to use the rocket launcher now with that weird reloading animation they included with it.

I would recommend a starter book to what you recommended by a French lawyer/economist by the name of Frédéric Bastiat, who wrote the book titled The Law (PDF).

That's what they French and later Americans said about the Viet Cong. Look at how that turned out.

Looks like a potential vaporware project. Way too many of them lately ever since the UDK and Cry SDK were released for free to the public.

The website is nothing more than the vBulletin blog CMS with premium template. And in my personal opinion, which means very little, they should have waited until they could have produced a better vBulletin skin and logo. Anyone that has 2d experience is facepalming themselves at this very moment while looking at a logo that looks like someone just played around with the bevel and emboss for two minutes in Adobe Photoshop to get what he thinks looks omfgawesoommmee!, only opens the door to the criticism we have read thus far, which is justified according to my value based judgement.

How exactly has Windows 8 made your life better?

Are smartphones that use Windows 8 factored into the combined total sales at present? If so, what is the ratio for those adopting Windows 8 for PC to that of smartphones?

I can't agree with you more on the game. I was expecting something that required more skill to operate vehicles, but all you do is drive/fly around and shoot up stuff with weak guns (unless you bought the better weapons). You drive around capping undefended objective after undefended objective. Maybe some people like that type of game play, but it's soooooo boring and repetitive. To sum all this up, it's just to gamey to hold my attention for very long, which has only been a little over a week of playing.

You aren't trying to say Europa is a safer place to live are you? Please tell me yes so I can post some interesting graphs that show otherwise.

I suggest you read Court's decision on District of Columbia v. Heller. For those of you that have little understanding of the U.S. Constitution, whatever isn't specifically mentioned in the Constitution is then left up to the individual states. Therefore, the Constitution doesn't have to be specific on every little thing in our society, as the framers decided those would be best left up to the states to act or not act upon. I just came upon this fairly recent study: SOURCE: http://www.cato.org/blog/nras-panic-attack http://69.8.231.237/uploadedFiles/Publications/Journals/Educational_Researcher/3901/027-037_02EDR10.pdf
