For the past few months I’ve been working on a little side website project. The website is a browser based tactical war strategy game called Tour of Generals. The game is a Risk like strategy game that uses Google Maps and it involves creating, moving, and fighting armies and capturing territories on the map. The game has a wide variety of real world maps to play on including the United States, Europe, Asia, Germany, France, and lots more and many options to customize each game including the abi
First of all, go check out my Game of the Year topic. Personally, my game of the year will probably go to Left 4 Dead. Amazing game, especially with close friends. Case in point: Defending the roof of an abandoned and infested hospital while waiting for helicopter rendezvous and rescue.

Back to the latter, I have just encountered the "Bad Ending" for Persona 4.

The geo-political governing body that is supposed to be able to sanction people and put other international pressures on other countries that is known as the United Nations has done a terrific job again concerning the current flared Arab-Israeli crisis.

Who doesn't like to pull out a soapbox every now and again and talk about their favorite subject; themselves? I don't see myself as a conformer but like everyone, I do enjoy a good soapbox, especially with that has such a large and diverse - all white, young, liberal males - crowd, the temptation becomes too great, willpower fades as the trusty scent of espousing my own misguided opinions runs out the gate and out onto Planet Bob.
To wit, my opinions, open to criticism, insults even, but never
Most people complain about the state of the current treaty web. For those of you living under a rock (although I don't know how you found this blog if you are) the current web could best be described as less of a web and more of a giant wad of twine. Essentially everyone with aspirations of political relevance is connected to it and most people are so tangled they can't seem to move. It has been charged for some time that this political landscape, such as it is, is stifling the game. I'm not goi
After my first suggestion got rejected, I made a new suggestion last week. This time with a request to make it possible to be e-mailed if you reach X days of inactivity.
At the moment you log in with CN, your email address gets saved in a database but doesn't get used. Since a few days its now possible to enable an option that you receive emails when you get attacked! Now, why doesn't the admin try to prevent this game from dying because of inactivity?!?!
It shouldn't be any problem to make an
I don't have a digital camera on hand, but I found this snap on google. I brought two bottles of the stuff myself at a local supermarket today when I was ought scrounging for supplies to make some homemade wine.
"Are you going to shave or what?" My wife asked me. I hadn't shaved for four days, and she was clearly annoyed. This is when the light went off in my head:
'I can create an issue, resolve that issue (after she complained about it enough) and 'score some points.' Why would I do this? Because I'm generally kind of a screw up. So I try to get points where I can. And this seemed like an easy way to do it. I just hadn't shaved for four days. I would've gladly shaved. It made absolutely no
:lol:
I've been spending way to much time online for the last few years. Seems like a right easy escape from life, but in the end it makes me wishing I knew how to do more things.
Definitely, I need to spend a bit more time considering finding a hobby or two to peruse and to use the internet more to support the aspects of my life that I find interesting rather than letting the internet be my life.
meh..
THIS WILL NOT end WELL!!
During my time as Triumvir of The Aquatic Brotherhood, I witnessed three breakaway alliances form; PWC, Arctica and Pendulum. At present, now with the folding of Pendulum, none of them now exist. I often wondered, after the initial punch to the gut subsided (hey, it happens to everyone) why so many alliances decide to break away from their alma maters to forge on their own rocky paths that ultimately lead to no where?
The reasons are twofold; lack of promotion opportunities and the new style of
Hi there!
My name is Blorst Blitzer. I'm technically a simple reporter for the paper here in Chalchs, but really I'm the most important person ever.
For christmas this year, zig wants to light up the biggest lights possible. I'm not so sure we'll be able to, but if we do, it'll be the most amazing show of lights ever. The problem is, no one can figure out where to light it off.
Zigbigadorlou is too small to test the nukes within the borders, so we probably have to go outside the borders.

Recently, I have bought a game named Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4. It is an RPG. A Japanese RPG, to be more specific.
It is not a cookie-cutter RPG. I realized this when one of my quests tasked me to looking for meat flavored gum for a girl who wants to

I have never, and I never will, apologize for my part in GW4 on the side of the Unjust Path. I stood with my allies in the face of poor odds and a great deal of propaganda because they were my allies, irregardless. That said, it's been noted more than a few times how quick most of us survivors let the war go and just moved on with life after the fact, and I'd like to explain why that was.
Part of it was fear - without a doubt. Most of us figured ES & BLEU would be happy to get rid of us per
How often it is that things are reduced to a matter of 'common sense'. It is usually used as a synonym for 'obvious', but its use goes much deeper than that, attempting to stigmatise the one supposedly lacking this sense and brush aside anything more nuanced as intellectual claptrap that flies in the face of what the common man knows to be true. But how does he know it?
Almost by definition common sense is unanalysed, unconsidered assumption, learned by assertion from past generations and pee
I've read over and over that there are too many alliances on Planet Bob. No particular rationale comes to mind though. I imagine that it's because the treaty web becomes more complicated, and people have to do extra work to liaise with so many alliances. I don't think there's anything wrong with a multitude of alliances, so long as they add something to the CN community. The NPO, for instance, is the only alliance I know of that invented their own full fledged political philosophy. That's s
After I Stumbleupon-ed a Youtube video of Ron Paul speaking about the auto bailout, I decided to check him out on Wikipedia because he made some interesting points.
Not to say all of his points were good but a few are worth highlighting.
You may agree in terms of the bailouts, but this is an essential part of a welfare state or system. Our taxes would go towards people who are un-employed, retired, disabled and generally very poor. In terms of the auto bailout it would be money going towards

"An alliance is like.... " is a phrase that you may have heard when discussing different organizations in the Cyberverse. If you haven't heard the phrase, then perhaps you thought of it in your head. There are several analogies that often come up. Some are useful and some are not. Lately, these are a few that have been going through my head:
An Alliance is like a country:
This is of course, probably the most common analogy. Alliances are typically structured to have a government, selected

Hard fighting continues as the enemies push towards Tombistralen. Time after time the imperial army twarts the advance in a series of raides but are to few to decisively halt the advance of the enemy. Hugh cassualties inflicted on the enemies - 2620 enemies killed and 1320 soldiers lost.
