Is anyone else going to show up there?

This should be an interesting anti-incumbent year this season.

On a similar note, my senator, John McInsane surprisingly won renomination to the United States Senate. ]]> The Lounge The Arizonan http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18980 http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18850&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Aug 2010 20:03:05 GMT http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11056581 Probably a non-issue on a gaming forum but I would still like to drop it off in here to see other... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-11056581
Probably a non-issue on a gaming forum but I would still like to drop it off in here to see other opinions. My 5 cents:
I have absolutely no problem with it. And for those who do have problem with it I say I understand why but the most they could or should do is simply advise other people not to buy the game. Banning it is ridiculous. ]]> The Lounge Higgs Boson http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18850 http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18833&goto=newpost Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:18:24 GMT This has been on my mind a lot lately.

Trailers portraying every single second of action in a slow drama-driven story, putting in scenes that are already cut from the movie or even making new scenes for the trailer that were never intended to be in the movie. Similar things happen with the posters for movies. There are of course also trailers which leave out major story elements, omitting parts like 'This movie is about two cowboys falling in love and having to deal with a double life because their society doesn't accept homosexuality'.

Now I get why this is done. Trailers must attract as many viewers as possible, so they must feature the best (or better) CGI from the movies and none of the points that could possibly make anyone not want to watch it. But on many occasions this goes straight against 'truth in advertising'.

So, do you think this is becoming a real problem? should the 'truth in advertising' laws become stricter? is this just annoying and nothing else? Or am I just whining and it isn't a big deal? ]]> The Lounge ijffdrie http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18833 http://www.starcraft2forum.org/forums/showthread.php?t=18705&goto=newpost Sun, 22 Aug 2010 01:36:37 GMT No idea if you guys get any news regarding whos leading us but we had our election last night.

Result will probally be a hung parliment (No one had a majority, first time for a century)
73 Conservatives
72 Labor
1 Greens
4 Independent

This result is really scary because the conservatives played a wild card of a climate skeptical, crazy catholic and i'm scared the independents will choose to give him the balance of power. At least the greens (enviromental party) now holds power of our upper house and got their first lower house seat.

Election was terrible on both sided no one really discussed important policy either -.-
