@Zippon I think he was referring to when the game was first revealed, where they basically said it was going to be a first person shooter with self chosen missions.

I agree that this seems a lot more in line with the x-com of old.

Brak or GTFO

apparently not on sale anymore. I bought it at the "$40" price, which ended up closer to $48 with tax & shipping.

@FordGTGuy

The whole point of Top Gear is that it is not unbiased. They play up the stereotypes of every countries cars, they slam every countries cars flaws. Besides Clarkson bought a Ford GT so that alone illustrates the "bias" is for entertainment only.

Any show with a "cool wall" is clearly not about impartial reporting.

The only reasonable thing to do is to have a few #s. Electric only range, gas only MPG, then maybe gallons used over a 300 mile range.

Also eventually an electricity used rating needs to show up like on appliances.

Bravo Alex... Bravo...

I drive a Miata and whenever I get something like that I explain what the car really is. If I get more guff I explain I don't let things define me, if I get MORE guff I pretty much decide that's not someone I want to be around.

@Meekermoloko according to the people who found these errors its really only noticeable if you only watch in a completely dark room, and even after the black levels change they are still deeper than LCD.

I've had my 42" G10 for over 6 months and i have not noticed any changes.

The drastic change apparently does not affect every set. However, this makes me feel better about getting the extended warranty. Anyone buying a panny in the future should fork over for the same.

would probably add a lot of weight that would hurt performance.

Making something entails taking its components then converting those components into the desired product. So "I made this pie by myself" is a correct statement.

If you want to get hung up on semantics you can say, "No the oven and all your tools helped" but nobody cares about ovens and ovens don't require credit as they have no ego. So pointing that out only makes you an asshole.

I'm with you on the "I could care less" though.

I didnt say you were protecting Americans, I said you were killing those who intended to kill innocent Americans (though in fact, one mission you specifically DO rescue and protect an American). Additionally through the narrative one character essentially was in it for the money and action, while the other was interested in discovering the truth behind the terrorist plots and the other comes around. The main protagonists were interested in cash, but what brought the situation to a head was the idea of loyalty to each other. The villains in fact were the ones interested in money alone.

The larger issue here is trying to draw conclusions about societies or individuals on the basis of a single game, and not one that didn't sell spectacularly anyway.

I see this as no worse than any GTA game (murder, theft), Mass Effect (murder, coup), or any other game that puts you in the role of someone on the fringes of the law.

Truthfully I thought at least the game was a commentary on the use of PMCs in Iraq, and not an entirely flattering one.
